Stingrays[1] are enemies in Wario World. They are land-dwelling manta rays.[2] They are encounted in Beanstalk Way, in the tall grass. Stingrays move around in the air as if they are swimming, and they attempt to attack Wario by dashing towards him. They "swim" very close to the ground, so they can only be hit by a Ground Pound or Wild Swing-Ding. Stingrays can be stunned from three Ground Pounds, allowing Wario to use a Mad Move of his choice. However, Ground Pounding is dangerous in areas that they appear, as missing will result in Wario getting stuck in the grass for a few seconds. Big Scorpers behave similarly to Stingrays.
