Lunge Fish first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they hide in the water, and, like their name implies, will lunge at Yoshi as he passes by. Occasionally, a Lunge Fish will stick its head out of the water. Yoshi can then throw an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at the fish to momentarily stun the creature, or he can defeat one outright by spitting an enemy out at it. If Yoshi falls in the water, a Lunge Fish will attempt to swallow Yoshi and Baby Mario whole similar to how a [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] does. | Lunge Fish first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they hide in the water, and, like their name implies, will lunge at Yoshi as he passes by.

As shown by graphics in the source code of pre-release builds, Lunge Fish seems to have started out as a bespectacled worm-like creature, labeled "<tt>nomo</tt>" (an abbreviation of the Japanese name) in the files.<ref>[https://twitter.com/rockcock64/status/1286771514281467905 Twitter post showing early SMW2 tiles].

In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Lunge Fish appear again, with their sprites appearing to be the desaturated ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' ones with added shading. They act exactly the same. In one level, Yoshi must travel in a boat over a lake infested with Lunge Fish. | In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Lunge Fish appear again, with their sprites appearing to be the desaturated ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' ones with added shading.

In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', they prominently appear in the level [[Lose the Lunge Fish]]. From this game onwards, their lunging-while-inhaling behavior is replaced with a [[Cheep Chomp|Boss Bass]]-esque leaping, showing off their entire bodies. However, they still function in the same pattern as before, sinking below the water before rising up and forwards in a jerky arc. | In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', they prominently appear in the level [[Lose the Lunge Fish]].

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''==== | |||
Lunge Fish appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' as an enemy in some stages with water. In this game, Lunge Fish are modeled on coin purses, with their lips being made of coin purse clasps. Yoshi can defeat them with [[yarn ball]]s or [[watermelon (Yoshi's Island series)|watermelon]] seeds, earning a handful of [[bead]]s, but they will respawn quickly. They act as they do in ''Yoshi's New Island'', but are larger and move through the air slower. They appear in [[Rollin' Down the River]], [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]] and [[Wonderful World of Wool]]. | |||
====''Yoshi's Crafted World''==== | |||
Lunge Fish reappear as enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' during the level [[Ride the River]], where they sit in place in the background, jumping out whenever Yoshi crosses their line of sight, and can take down platforms while trying to eat him. At the end of the level, one instead pursues Yoshi horizontally, taking down several moving platforms while repetitively leaping. Near the end of the level's flip side, two can be seen looking back and forth instead of in a single direction, and as such can leap in multiple directions.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFMOdTbACMM</ref> | |||

In ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', a Lunge Fish appears as a playable character and an opponent who is paired with [[Cheep Cheep|Flopsy Fish]]. It replaces Neris, the sea fairy from ''[[Tetris Attack#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. In this game, it is depicted as a slight friend of Yoshi's, enchanted by [[Bowser]] and [[Kamek]] to work for them. It also notes that it really does not like Yoshi much, claiming that he gives it indigestion. | In ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', a Lunge Fish appears as a playable character and an opponent who is paired with [[Cheep Cheep|Flopsy Fish]].
