'''Splorches'''<ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 24.</ref> are uncommon enemies that first appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and reappear in its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Their name is a pun on "torch" and the onomatopoeia "sploosh". They are large orange [[fireball]]s that have dark red masks around their eyes, quite similar to [[Fryguy]]'s eyes, and a large grin. They first appear in [[Brolder Blockade Is Back]], and after that, they usually appear in levels with [[lava]]. Their appearance is unaffected by the color of lava, as seen in [[Broken Blue Bully Belt]], a level with blue lava.

Splorches pop out of lava and roll towards the players. They can be pushed back into the lava using projectiles such as those of the [[Boomerang Flower]] and [[Fire Flower]], or by hitting them with [[Tanooki Mario]]'s tail spin or [[Rosalina]]'s [[Spin]] Attack. Splorches also leave a trail of lava that damages the players. These enemies can only be defeated by [[Invincible Mario]], [[Lucky Cat Mario]] or [[White Tanooki Mario]].
