| Rings return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' in both of Wendy's battles, where they function the same as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', though they are slower and vanish after a while.

| |
| Energy rings return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', however Wendy does not create them using her Magic Wand. During her boss fight, Wendy now throws two energy rings at a time, using them to knock loose the [[icicle]]s hanging from the ceiling of her boss arena. After being stomped twice, she throws three energy rings.

| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' versions 3.0.0 and later, Wendy shoots rings out of her wand in all game styles she is available in. In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and ''[[Super Mario World]]'' styles, they take their candy ring design from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and also flash pink and cyan, while in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style, they retain their gold ring appearance from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games.

| In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the rings attempt to hit the Mario Bros. by floating towards them; Wendy then raises her hands again, causing them to close in and shrink on the Mario Bros.
