Puma

Thing type 1805, Puma, is a type of Thing used in Mario mode. It is a hazardous fireball that bounces up and down and deals elemental damage upon being touched. Although originally intended for Mario mode, SRB2 actually uses it in Red Volcano Zone Act 1, outside of a Mario setting. The Puma will hop whenever it hits the floor or goes a certain depth under the surface of lava or water. The Angle value of the Puma determines its jumping strength. If the Angle is set to 0, it uses its default jumping strength of 44.
