-==History==
+[[File:Mirror Madness Tilt Slam Bam SMS.png|thumb|200px|left|Mario fighting three Plungelos on a solar panel]]
-===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
+Six Plungelos appear in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', together with a [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|giant Wiggler]]. They temporarily take up residence on [[Isle Delfino]]'s [[Gelato Beach]] during the second episode, [[Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]] Here, they can be seen moving around on the three large mirrors situated around the [[Shine Tower]], each having a different number of Plungelos on it: one, two, and three. Their weight knocks the mirrors out of focus and prevents them from redirecting the sun's light into the [[Sand Bird]] egg, thereby posing a threat to the Sand Bird's hatching process. A battle starts whenever [[Mario]] sets foot on a mirror with at least one Plungelo on it. Plungelos have plunger feet that protect them from losing their footing on the mirror, so to defeat them, Mario has to push them to the edge of the mirror with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], causing them to lift one of their feet and weaken their footing. After doing so, Mario then has to [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] the opposite side of the mirror to launch the Plungelo off. When one of the Plungelos is sprayed with [[water]], the other ones become aggressive and chase Mario. Once every Plungelo is defeated, the three mirrors swing back into their original position, and Mario obtains the episode's [[Shine Sprite]].

-Six Plungelos make an appearance in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', together with a giant [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|Wiggler]]. They temporarily take up residence on [[Isle Delfino]]'s [[Gelato Beach]], during the second episode, [[Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!]]. Here, they can be seen moving around on the large mirrors situated around [[Shine Tower]]. Their weight knocks the mirrors out of focus and prevents them from redirecting the sun's light into the [[Sand Bird]] egg, thereby posing a threat to the Sand Bird's hatching process. The creatures also guard a [[Shine Sprite]], requiring [[Mario]] to defeat the Plungelos.
-There are three mirrors surrounding the Shine Tower. Each has a different number of Plungelos on it; one, two, and three. A battle starts whenever Mario sets foot on one of the infested mirrors. To defeat a Plungelo, Mario needs to throw it off the mirror by using [[Ground Pound]]s on the tilting mirror. However, their plunger feet prevent them from losing their footing. They need to be pushed to the edge of the mirror with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], which causes them to lift one of their feet and weaken their footing. The player can then shake them off by having Mario Ground Pound on the opposing side of the mirror. When one of the Plungelos is sprayed with water, the other ones will become aggressive and chase Mario. Once all the Plungelos are defeated, the three mirrors swing back into their original position.
+While Plungelos do not appear in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' or ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', the name "Plungelo" can be seen on score charts.
