Eely-Mouth is a boss in Super Mario Sunshine. It is an eel with gingivitis who has caused widespread pollution in Noki Bay,[1] where it resides in an underwater cove. Mario first learns that Eely-Mouth had caused the pollution when he starts the episode Eely-Mouth's Dentist.[1] Mario is asked to remedy this by cleaning Eely-Mouth's teeth.[2] Eely-Mouth spins around very fast before rising upward and opening its mouth, which is when Mario has a chance to clean Eely-Mouth's teeth. Seconds later, Eely-Mouth sucks in water, as well as Mario if he is too close. Eely-Mouth spits Mario out after sucking him in. Eely-Mouth's eyes emit damaging purple bubbles, though they can still refill Mario's air supply. Once every tooth has been cleaned, Eely-Mouth spits out its golden tooth, which turns into a Shine Sprite, and returns into its cave, in addition to 20 coins spawning, shaped like a heart.[3] When Eely-Mouth retreats, FLUDD comments about taking care of one's teeth.[4]

"Eely-mouth" is one of the names on the scoreboard in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
