'''Munchers''' are a near-invincible [[List of species|species]] of [[Piranha Plant]]. Unlike [[Nipper Plant]]s, Munchers are usually colored black and are immobile. Munchers act like [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]], as touching them would damage [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. However, both [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] (except in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games) and the [[Goomba's Shoe]] can walk on them without harm. In a few levels, they spring from thin pipes. The only way for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to cross a patch of Munchers by himself is by acquiring a [[Super Star]], though Munchers are unaffected by [[Invincible Mario]] himself, or by carefully [[jump]]ing to the gaps between Muncher patches. Only a [[P Switch|Switch Block]] (in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''), a [[POW Block]], a [[Spiny Shell (red)|Spiny Shell]], or a big [[Goomba's Shoe|Goomba's Stiletto]] (all in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'') can defeat a Muncher. | |||

Munchers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and are first encountered in [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-3]] where they appear in large numbers. [[World 6-10]] features frozen Munchers, which can be identified by the black [[Ice Block]] in which they are encased. As [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] warns to Mario in her letter leading into the world, they are harmless when frozen and act like platforms, but if the player uses a [[fireball]], the Muncher will become active again. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits a [[P Switch|Switch Block]], all regular Munchers will briefly turn into [[coin]]s; if Mario or Luigi tail whips one, the Muncher will become an [[Empty Block]] (except in the GBA version, where they are unaffected). If the player has [[Goomba's Shoe]], they can walk along them without taking damage. | Munchers first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and are first encountered in [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-3]] where they appear in large numbers.

Hacking the game reveals that unlike in ''Super Mario World'', Yoshi can no longer safely walk on Munchers or [[Spike Trap]]s in this game.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnUMLLINtX0&t=381s]</ref> This behavior is unused in the game proper since no level has both of them. | Hacking the game reveals that unlike in ''Super Mario World'', Yoshi can no longer safely walk on Munchers or [[Spike Trap]]s in this game.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnUMLLINtX0&t=381s]</ref> This behavior is unused in the game proper since no level has both of them. | ||

U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|Nintendo Switch port]]. Munchers retain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and behave the same way as they do in other games. In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Munchers are found in [[Spinning-Star Sky]] and [[Thrilling Spine Coaster]]. In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', Munchers appear in the levels [[Lemmy's Lights-Out Castle]], [[Cooligan Shrooms]], and [[Wiggler Rodeo]]. | ||

Munchers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', | Munchers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS version]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They can be placed in courses normally, but they can also be made huge by dragging a Super Mushroom onto them, or be made to spawn from [[Lakitu]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[? Block]]s, [[Brick Block]]s, or [[Bill Blaster]]s. | ||
Munchers in these games are treated as sprites instead of objects, acting the same as Piranha Plants but smaller and harder to defeat. Shaking them has no apparent effect other than producing a purple-black cloud of smoke, but shaking them repeatedly will produce [[fly (Mario Paint)|flies]], which the player can swat to initiate the [[Gnat Attack]] minigame. In 1.20 onwards, shaking it after the flies have emerged will cause [[King Watinga]] to pop out, and swatting him will trigger a harder version of Gnat Attack. | Munchers in these games are treated as sprites instead of objects, acting the same as Piranha Plants but smaller and harder to defeat.
