In ''Super Mario World'', Reznors spit [[fireball]]s at the player. [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] or Caped Luigi can dissipate the Reznors' fire with his Cape. Mario must hit their platforms from below or shoot fireballs at them to defeat them. The player has a limited amount of time available to knock off the first and second Reznors and then [[jump]] to one of their platforms as the floor begins breaking away, exposing the molten [[lava]] below at the start of the battle. If the player does not defeat the rest of the Reznors promptly, they will have to jump onto one of the abandoned platforms and fight from there. It is, however, possible to defeat all four without doing so.

Reznors are the bosses of four fortresses scattered through the areas of Dinosaur Land: the [[Vanilla Fortress]], the [[Forest Fortress]], the [[Chocolate Fortress]], and the [[Valley Fortress]]. The four Reznor sets all behave the same.
