In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Maw-Rays (referred to by this name for the first time) make an appearance as enemies, primarily in the [[Underwater Tunnel to the Lighthouse]] in the [[Seaside Kingdom]]. They are redesigned to have a more detailed appearance with realistic anatomy as well as menacing, glowing eyes. Similar to their appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', they attack by lunging out of their nesting spots at a high speed before snapping their enormous jaws and receding, and can be positioned either horizontally or vertically. Before they emerge, a plume of sand can be seen coming from their caves. Entering these caves is impossible, as they appear to be blocked with sand. A few Maw-Rays also appear in one area of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]; here, their caves are not seen, as they instead lunge upwards out of the clouds.

A single Maw-Ray appears in an underwater section of the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' course [[Dolphin Shoals]], where players race along its body for a short section and can perform [[Jump Boost]]s from its undulating body. They also make a return in the [[Classic_course#Booster_Course_Pass_courses|booster courses]] {{classic|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}}, {{classic|Wii|Koopa Cape}}, and [[Piranha Plant Cove]], once again making cameos in the underwater sections of each course and retaining their design and model from ''Mario Kart Tour''.
