Yoshi can walk freely on Munchers whereas the other characters cannot. Munchers appear again in Super Mario Run, acting as they do in other games. They can also operate like solid blocks in that they take out most enemies just by falling onto them. The Munchers in this game are affected by gravity, and fall down if they are not on top of any ground. In the Super Mario World style, a new sprite was made instead of using the original one: they have yellow lips or teeth, and have a blue shading. Munchers are heavy enough to press a P Switch without needing to be enlarged with a Super Mushroom, and also defeat any enemy (including Bowser) should they fall over it.Īlso, as Munchers are absent from Super Mario Bros., new sprites are made for this style. Yoshi can once again walk safely across Munchers, even in the New Super Mario Bros. Munchers can be defeated by a POW Block, a fast fly down while Cape Mario, a ground pound with a giant Goomba's Shoe, and the Spiny Shell from below. Mario can also use Buzzy Shells to bounce them up from below. In this game, Munchers are damaging to the touch on every side, unless Mario is wearing a Goomba's Shoe, during which only hitting a Muncher with Mario's head will damage him. In 1.20 onwards, shaking it after the flies have emerged will cause King Watinga to pop out, and swatting him will trigger a harder version of Gnat Attack. Shaking them has no apparent effect other than producing a purple-black cloud of smoke, but shaking them repeatedly will produce flies, which the player can swat to initiate the Gnat Attack minigame. Munchers in these games are treated as sprites instead of objects, acting the same as Piranha Plants but smaller and harder to defeat. They can be placed in courses normally, but they can also be made huge by dragging a Super Mushroom onto them, or be made to spawn from Lakitus, Warp Pipes, ? Blocks, Brick Blocks, or Bill Blasters. Munchers reappear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2. Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2 Munchers appear in New Super Luigi U, in the levels Lemmy's Lights-Out Castle, Cooligan Shrooms, and Wiggler Rodeo. Wii and behave the same way as they do in other games. They retain their appearance from New Super Mario Bros. U, and are found in Spinning-Star Sky and Thrilling Spine Coaster. Munchers, no longer in ice blocks, appear in New Super Mario Bros. Gray P Switches can turn Munchers into coins however, this behavior goes unused since no levels in the game have both. In this game, they have a slightly different appearance: their eyes are absent, their stem is yellow instead of orange, and their head is oval-shaped instead of round. This unique behavior is only seen in Vanilla Dome 3, as there are a few Munchers that can be touched from the sides. Touching a Muncher from the side or bottom while riding on Yoshi, however, damages Mario directly without causing Yoshi to run away, removing Mario's power-up if he has one or causing him to lose a life if he does not. As before, being Invincible Mario can allow the player to walk on the Munchers without being harmed also, Yoshi can walk on them safely. However, Caped Mario cannot turn them into blocks as Raccoon and Tanooki Mario could. Munchers appear again in Super Mario World, where they behave just like they did previously, including acting like objects. Additionally, in any version of the game, Munchers remain animated even when the game is paused, as they are tiles on the foreground layer comparable to Jelectros. Munchers that pop out of small pipes also appear in the first and second World 7- Piranha Plant stages of Pipe Land.

3, they have green leaves with heads that are either dull orange or indigo depending on the location.

In Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. In their official art, they are black with orange leaves, but in the game itself, they can come in other colors depending on the level, sometimes having blue leaves, due to the inconsistencies between the limited four palettes available for foreground tiles on the NES in different levels. In this game, Munchers are damage-causing foreground tiles rather than sprites, due to a limit of eight sprites per scanline on the NES.
