Lunge Fish first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they hide in the water, and, like their name implies, will lunge at Yoshi as he passes by. Occasionally, a Lunge Fish will stick its head out of the water. Yoshi can then throw an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at the fish to momentarily stun the creature, or he can defeat one outright by spitting an enemy out at it. If Yoshi falls in the water, a Lunge Fish will attempt to swallow Yoshi and Baby Mario whole similar to how a [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] does.

Lunge Fish are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. They hide in the water and will lunge at Yoshi as he passes by, as their name implies. Occasionally, a Lunge Fish will stick its head out of the water. Yoshi can then throw an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at the fish to momentarily stun the creature, or he can defeat one outright by spitting an enemy out at it. If Yoshi falls in the water, a Lunge Fish will attempt to swallow Yoshi and Baby Mario whole similar to how a [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] does.

However, they still function in the same pattern as before, sinking below the water before rising up and forwards in a jerky arc.

Lunge Fish are enemies introduced in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. These large, bucktoothed catfish are predators of Yoshis, whom they try and swallow whole. Its name is a portmanteau of "lunge" and "lungfish".

History

Yoshi's Island series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

Lunge Fish

Lunge Fish are enemies in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake. They hide in the water and will lunge at Yoshi as he passes by, as their name implies. Occasionally, a Lunge Fish will stick its head out of the water. Yoshi can then throw an egg at the fish to momentarily stun the creature, or he can defeat one outright by spitting an enemy out at it. If Yoshi falls in the water, a Lunge Fish will attempt to swallow Yoshi and Baby Mario whole similar to how a Boss Bass does.

As shown by graphics in the source code of pre-release builds, Lunge Fish seems to have started out as a bespectacled worm-like creature, labeled "nomo" (an abbreviation of the Japanese name) in the files.[1]

Yoshi's Island DS

Lunge Fish are enemies in Yoshi's Island DS. Their sprites appear to be the desaturated Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 ones with added shading. They act exactly the same. In one level, Yoshi must travel in a boat over a lake infested with Lunge Fish.

Yoshi's New Island

Lunge Fish are enemies in Yoshi's New Island. They appear prominently in the level Lose the Lunge Fish. Unlike before, a Lunge Fish's behavior is a Boss Bass-esque leaping instead of lunging-while-inhaling action, showing off their entire bodies. However, they still function in the same pattern as before, sinking below the water before rising up and forwards in a jerky arc.

Super Mario-kun

In volume 14 of the Super Mario-kun manga, a Lunge Fish is depicted as being able to use electricity on its enemies, based on the real-life electric catfish. Mario sees a Winged Cloud that gives out a blue watermelon. Mario makes Yoshi eat it, which then freezes the Lunge Fish.

Tetris Attack

A Lunge Fish is a playable character and an opponent paired with Flopsy Fish in Tetris Attack. It replaces Neris, the sea fairy from Panel de Pon. In this game, it is depicted as a slight friend of Yoshi's, enchanted by Bowser and Kamek to work for them. It also notes that it really does not like Yoshi much, claiming that he gives it indigestion.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

Lunge Fish are enemies in Yoshi's Woolly World. They appear in some of the water stages. Lunge Fish are modeled on coin purses, with their lips being made of coin purse clasps. Yoshi can defeat them with yarn balls or watermelon seeds, earning a handful of beads, but they will respawn quickly. They act as they do in Yoshi's New Island, but are larger and move through the air slower. They appear in Rollin' Down the River, King Bowser's Castle and Wonderful World of Wool.

Yoshi's Crafted World

Screenshot from Yoshi's Crafted World

Lunge Fish are enemies in Yoshi's Crafted World during the level Ride the River, where they sit in place in the background, jumping out whenever Yoshi crosses their line of sight, and can take down platforms while trying to eat him. At the end of the level, one instead pursues Yoshi horizontally, taking down several moving platforms while repetitively leaping. Near the end of the level's flip side, two can be seen looking back and forth instead of in a single direction, and as such can leap in multiple directions.[2]

Profiles

Yoshi's Island series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

  • Shogakukan guide: ナマズの怪物。飲み込まれるとアウトだ。タマゴをぶつけて追っぱらうしかない。[3](A catfish monster. If it swallows you, you're dead. The only way to beat it is to hit it with an egg and chase it away.)
  • Player's Guide: They find dinos lip-lickin' good. However, they'll beat a watery retreat if you slug them with eggs.[4]
  • Shogakukan guide (Game Boy Advance version): ナマズの怪物。飲みこまれるとそくアウトなので、タマゴを当てて追いはらおう。[5](A catfish monster. If it swallows you, you are dead immediately, so hit it with an egg to chase it away.)

Yoshi's New Island

  • Shogakukan guide: 沼に生息する巨大魚。大きな口で丸のみしようとする。食べられるとミスになり、触れてもダメージを受ける。タマゴを当てると倒せるが、避けて進むほうが楽。[6](A giant fish that lives in swamps. It tries to eat you whole with its big mouth. If it eats you, you lose, and if you touch it, you will be damaged. You can defeat it by hitting it with an egg, but it is easier to avoid it.)
