Trouter



A Trouter is a red fish that jumps straight up out of water near waterfalls in Super Mario Bros. 2. Trouters are used many times throughout the game as platforms in which to jump across a large body of water. Stopping time with the Stop Watch makes it much easier to cross them. Although not deadly from below, they are dangerous if touched from the sides. Not only this, but if Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, or Toad ride the Trouter back to the watery depths, they will perish.

In the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Trouters looked and acted more like Cheep-Cheeps, and, every time a character landed in the water, a lot of Trouters (with knives, forks, and a bib) would start chasing that character, attempting to eat him or her.
