They can be defeated either as [[Rainbow Mario]] or by causing them to crash into an object. Torpedo Teds do not reappear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

Torpedo Teds are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' alongside black Torpedo Bases, and they make their only appearances in [[Larry's Torpedo Castle]] and the [[The Mighty Cannonship]]'s [[Bowser Jr.#New Super Mario Bros. U|Bowser Jr. Battle]]. Torpedo Teds also appear as obstacles in the [[Penguin vs. Torpedo]] challenge. They retain their appearance and behavior from ''Super Mario World'', though they are slightly longer, their propellers are red, and the ends holding them are white. The game introduces a Torpedo Ted variation, where red [[Torpedo Base]]s launch a red version of Torpedo Teds known as [[Targeting Ted]]s, which homes in on players in a way similar fashion to the Bullet Bill equivalent, [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]. If the player freezes one, it breaks out immediately. Torpedo Teds can be defeated in Boost Mode and Super Boost Mode; in the former case, when it is frozen, the player can tap on the ice block quickly, while in the latter players can defeat Torpedo Teds simply by tapping on them. Also, simply freezing them when another Torpedo Ted is right in front of them will defeat the frozen one.

Torpedo Teds also appear as enemies in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. They appear in the first boss battle with [[Bowser Jr.]], and in [[Larry's Trigger-Happy Castle]], Torpedo Teds appear with many other varieties of Bullet Bill. They can be seen in the watery areas of the first room.
