'''Splounders'''<ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 26.</ref> are catfish-like enemies that first appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They are present in every [[Plessie]]-themed [[level]], with the exception of [[Deepwater Dungeon]]. Their name comes from "splash" and "flounder."


'''Splounders''' are enemies that first appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They are present in every [[Plessie]]-themed level, with the exception of [[Deepwater Dungeon]]. A Splounder can either be stationary or move side to side. They can be defeated by any attack, and will be stunned if Plessie bumps into them. Jumping on a Splounder can provide a very decent bounce, and can sometimes even lead to Plessie reaching previously inaccessible areas.

Splounders will either move from side to side or remain stationary. They can be defeated by almost any attack, even by just coming in contact with them. They do not directly harm the player on contact, but they will throw Plessie off course if bumped into. [[Jump]]ing on a Splounder can provide a very decent bounce, and it can sometimes even lead to Plessie reaching previously inaccessible areas.  


==Trivia==
In the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of the game's [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', regional, cat-like variants of Splounders appear near the Wasteland [[Giga Bell]], which are now possible for [[Mario]] to encounter without riding Plessie. Splounders cannot be defeated by a jump or [[Ground Pound]] and hurt Mario on contact if he is not riding Plessie. While [[boomerang]]s thrown by using the [[Boomerang Flower]] do harm Splounders, [[fireball]]s thrown by using the [[Fire Flower]] simply phase through them.


*Their name is a pun on Flounder, which is a fish in real life.
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Axolotls are replaced by Splounders.
