'''Mega Maw-Rays'''<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo Co., Ltd.|date=circa Jan. 2025|title=New Super Mario Bros.|url=www.nintendo.com/jp/character/mario/en/history/new_smb/index.html|publisher=Mario Portal|accessdate=23 Jan. 2025}}</ref>, previously referred to as '''Mega Unagi'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|page=12|date=May 15, 2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref>, are a gigantic variant of [[Maw-Ray]] that appears only in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Mega Maw-Rays appear in two underwater stages in the game: [[World 4-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-3]], where they function as obstacles swimming to the left, and [[World 8-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]], where one swims to the right and actively chases [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) throughout the latter half of the stage. Mega Maw-Rays are very dangerous, and they destroy many objects in their path, such as [[Brick Block|brick]]s and [[? Block]]s. There is no way to defeat a Mega Maw-Ray. However, Mario can go "through" one by using a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star|Starman]] and [[swim]]ming through its back; he will be pushed away if he collides with its face. In World 8-3, if Mario tries to stay above or below the Mega Unagi and let it pass, it will swim slower and move towards Mario, trying to corner him in the top or bottom of the screen. If this is unsuccessful, the Mega Maw-Ray will eventually swim forward and vanish from the screen, but it will return after about one minute. Unlike [[Cheep Chomp|Cheep-Chomp]]s, Mega Maw-Rays cannot swallow Mario whole, but they instead damage him regularly.
'''Mega Unagi'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' [[Nintendo Power|Official Nintendo Player's Guide]], page 12.</ref> are a gigantic version of [[Maw-Ray|Unagi]] that appear only in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Mega Unagi chase [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) through two underwater stages in the game, [[World 4-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|4-3]] and [[World 8-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|8-3]]. They are very dangerous, and destroy everything they can, such as [[Brick Block]]s and [[Question Block|? Block]]s. There is no way to defeat a Mega Unagi. However, Mario can go "through" one with a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star]], by swimming through its back, as Mario will collide with it if he tries to go through its face. When Mario moves alongside its face, Mega Unagi will swim slower and also try to crouch down on and corner Mario to the top or bottom surface of the screen. As long as Mega Unagi is positioned at the very top or bottom of the screen, if the player crouches down at the very bottom of the ground or stays at the very top edge of the screen while Mega Unagi tries to crush Mario with its body, eventually it will swim forward and vanish from the screen, but will return after approximately 60 seconds. Unlike [[Cheep Chomp]]s, Mega Unagi cannot eat Mario and cause him to lose a life instantly; instead, the player will take damage like a regular enemy.


Normal Maw-Rays are larger in most subsequent appearances and thus appear to be closer in size to Mega Maw-Rays, although normal Maw-Rays do not display the destructive qualities of Mega Maw-Rays.
Normal Unagi are larger in most subsequent appearances and thus appear to be closer in size to Mega Unagi.
