| | |
| An '''Unagi''' is a species of eel that first appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is maroon-ish red-violet in color, also having yellow stripes on its back fin. The mega versions are proven in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' to be strong enough to destroy entire clusters of [[Brick Blocks]], and they can also not be defeated with anything, even the Star power up.
| |
| | |
| ''Unagi'' (うなぎ) is the Japanese word for freshwater eel, especially the Japanese eel, ''Anguilla japonica''. Note that saltwater eels should be called ''anago'' (穴子).

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario 64''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]], one Unagi, known as [[Unagi the Eel]], lives in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] and is the target mission of [[Can The Eel Come Out To Play?]] in which Mario must collect a star hanging on the eel's tail. Unagi can cause Mario to lose three health points if he comes in contact with him.
| |
| | |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
| |
| After a long absence, they later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as a enemy that appears in underwater levels. Their name comes directly from the Japanese word for eels, ''unagi''. During some underwater levels, Unagis would swim around in a predictable pattern trying to hit [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Some Unagis also live in small underwater coves, attacking anything in its vicinity. There is also a big version called the [[Mega Unagi]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario Kart Wii''====
| |
| Several Unagis reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', where they can be seen while traveling through the underwater tunnel in [[Koopa Cape]], poking their heads out of various [[Warp Pipe|Pipe]]s. Another, perhaps a Mega Unagi, can be seen swimming outside of [[Chain Chomp Wheel]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Kart 7''====
| |
| They also reappear again in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', making a cameo in the underwater zones of [[Daisy Cruiser]] and [[Koopa Cape]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''====
| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', they make a small appearance in the underwater parts of the race track Tropical Coast.
| |
| ====''Mario Kart 8''====
| |
| A single [[Mega Unagi]] appears in an underwater section of the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' track [[Dolphin Shoals]], where players race along its body for a short section and be able to perform [[Trick|Tricks]].
