Maw-Maws are salamander-like enemies that first appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They appear prominently in a level with their own name, Maw-Maw Mouthful. They chase and eat anything and everything in their path, including other enemies and power-ups left on the ground. However, they cannot eat players, who will only take damage on contract with their mouths (unless the players are in their Goomba form via a Wonder Effect, in which case the player will be eaten and instantly lose a life). After chasing for a period of time, they become exhausted and stop.[1] If they eat any type of shell, they will spit it back out.[2] Stomping them will stun them; stomping them while they're stunned will defeat them.
