Draglets are found in the castle stages of the game and stay in one spot. If they spot Mario or Luigi, they will attack him by shooting a single fireball at him. Draglets make a distinct sneezing sound before shooting a fireball, indicating that their attack is coming. Draglets can easily be defeated by jumping on them or swinging Tanooki Mario's tail at them, or with a projectile such as a fireball or boomerang.

Draglets also appear briefly during the cutscene that plays when Mario is entering World 8 for the first time.
