Eggplant Men first appear in [[Phase 2 (Wrecking Crew)|Phase 2]] of the construction site in the game ''[[Wrecking Crew]]''. An Eggplant Man runs around in a predictable pattern - it runs straight until it hits a [[drum (Wrecking Crew)|drum]] and has to turn around. It climbs up or down any ladder it comes across in its path. If both a ladder up and a ladder down are in its path, it goes down if moving left and up if moving right. Its behavior is similar to how [[Gotchawrench]]es behaved in ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]''.

An Eggplant Man is the first challenger in puzzle mode in ''[[Wrecking Crew '98]]''. Unlike the Eggplant Men in the previous game, his feet are attached directly to his underside instead of having legs. Eggplant Men also appear in their original capacity in the port of the previous game featured on the cartridge.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Eggplant Man is a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] which can be obtained randomly.
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
An Eggplant Man appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as a collectible trophy. It can only be obtained in the Lottery.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', an Eggplant Man is a Novice-class Shield-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}}, which depicts a scaled-up sprite of one from ''Wrecking Crew''. Equipping the Eggplant Man [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] simply increases the fighter's power without granting any particular effect. In the spirit battle, the player confronts a team of six [[Wario]]s on the [[Wrecking Crew (stage)|Wrecking Crew]] stage.

An Eggplant Man also appears in ''{{iw|nwiki|Chibi-Robo!}}'' as '''Kid Eggplant''', one of the three treasures Captain Plankbeard is searching for. The captain is wild about eggplants, and attempts to capture Kid Eggplant, but he does not succeed. For freeing him, Kid Eggplant rewards Chibi-Robo with a Super Eggplant and a Kid Eggplant Sticker, after Chibi kindly rejects Kid Eggplant's offer to turn him into an eggplant. Kid Eggplant's name in the Japanese version of ''Chibi-Robo!'' is "Nasubi Kamen", which is the same Japanese name as Eggplant Man.
