| | '''Sworms''' are black worms found outside [[Beanbean Castle Town]] in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They have two methods of attack – burrowing into the ground and popping back out beneath [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], or burrowing underground, popping up in front of one of the Bros. and biting him. The former method can be countered by [[jump]]s, and the latter by [[Hammer]]s. |

| ===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
| | *In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Fawful]]-resembling Sworms are the only enemies to bear a resemblance to Fawful who are neither a new species, or a species introduced prior to [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]. (such as Fawful-resembling [[Shy Guys]], [[Magikoopas]], etc., all of which were introduced before the creation of the ''Mario & Luigi'' series.) |
| Sworms are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]]. They are encountered in the outskirts of [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. From the overworld, Sworms try to attack by digging into the ground, and then resurfacing at or around Mario and Luigi's current position, giving a warning of where it will pop out by a small patch of dirt in the grass that appears to be vibrating, after which they will pop out of the dirt. If their attack fails, they will burrow back in and try again. In battle, Sworms have two methods of attack: burrowing into the ground and popping out beneath [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], or burrowing underground and popping up in front of Mario or Luigi to bite him. The former method can be countered by [[jump]]s, and the latter by [[Hammer]]s. Sworms are never fought alone, as they are always assisted by [[Sharpea]]s.

| [[Fawful]]-like versions of Sworms are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]]. They possess and command [[Chain Chomp]]s to create [[Chain Chawful]]s. These Sworms are green and order the Chain Chomp they are controlling. The Sworms can be dislodged and eaten with [[Bowser]]'s vacuum attack, thus freeing the Chain Chomp the Sworm was controlling, although no experience is given. In the remake, inhaling the Sworm restores 30 HP and 10 BP, and gives 25 EXP.
