'''Smackerels''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. They resemble flounders, being flat fish enemies with both eyes on the same side of their body, albeit with large, sharp-toothed jaws. Smackerels solely appear in the level [[Leaping Smackerel]], where they burrow through the sand, periodically jumping out vertically to attack the player character. During the [[Wonder Effect]] of the level, a giant Smackerel appears, which is able to bite through part of the level to help the player collect [[Wonder Token]]s.
