Their bodies resemble [[Wiggler]] segments. They furthermore have plungers for feet (hence the name), allowing them to maintain their footing even on inclined surfaces. Plungelos bear a resemblance to [[Cataquack]]s, but they do not exhibit any of their characteristic behavior. | ||

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 | 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 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]]. | ||
