The '''Small Rammerhead'''<ref name=portal>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/3d_world/?lang=en English|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.ph/R0Amc|archivedate=August 12, 2022, 23:46:25 UTC}}</ref> is a little shark enemy in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. It occurs only in [[Captain Toad Makes a Splash]], the second [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] level in the game, where it breaches over a wooden dock. It is the only enemy in the level. Because the player is not given any means of attacking the Small Rammerhead and available characters cannot [[jump]], the player can work to only avoid the shark. The Small Rammerhead leaps at the same height regardless of the [[Water tide|water level]], meaning [[Captain Toad]] and the other members of the [[Toad Brigade]] can safely avoid being struck by lowering the water with the [[P Switch]] found in the level.

While their bodies are the same size as the normal Rammerheads, they have narrower heads and pink dorsa. While [[water|underwater]], Small Rammerheads swim between corridors that are not large enough for their bigger counterparts, and most are trailed by [[bubble]]s. In shallow bodies of water, they breach from the surface. Small Rammerheads appear luminescent in dark areas and only their heads are damaging, just like the bigger sharks.


Unlike with the normal [[Rammerhead]]s that [[:File:Rammerheads.png|exceed the size of Mario]], the Small Rammerhead's body is about the same size as a [[Toad (species)|Toad]]'s. Unlike with some Rammerheads, this one's head is very wide and nearly covers the full length of the dock it breaches over. It otherwise is physically identical to the larger wide-headed Rammerheads.
In the original ''Super Mario 3D World'', they appear only in [[Rammerhead Reef]]. In the underwater portion of the course, most of the bubbles that trail the sharks contain [[coin]]s, but one of them holds the course's second [[Green Star]]. Small gaps appear in the terrain that allow the player character to avoid Small Rammerheads as they swim by. Three breaching Small Rammerheads later appear near the [[Goal Pole]], where they breach over terrain in tall arcs, belly side up. The ones on screen are immediately defeated upon touching the Goal Pole, each one awarding the player [[point|1000 points]].
 
In ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'', '''Cat Rammerheads'''<ref name=portal/> appear in [[Lake Lapcat]] on the archipelagic path between [[Clawswipe Colosseum]] and [[Trickity Tower]]. Unlike the ones from the the [[Sprixie Kingdom]], these Rammerheads have cat ears, a cat tail, and are furred. Their dorsa is a drap purple, just like the larger Rammerheads. Cat Rammerheads leap in low arcs over the path, making them difficult to avoid. Their backs are directed towards the sky, unlike the Small Rammerheads in Rammerhead Reef. Their eyes turn to follow [[Mario]]'s position when he is within their immediate vicinity.

Small Rammerheads[1] are a type of Rammerhead in Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury. While their bodies are the same size as the normal Rammerheads, they have narrower heads and pink dorsa. While underwater, Small Rammerheads swim between corridors that are not large enough for their bigger counterparts, and most are trailed by bubbles. In shallow bodies of water, they breach from the surface. Small Rammerheads appear luminescent in dark areas and only their heads are damaging, just like the bigger sharks.

In the original Super Mario 3D World, they appear only in Rammerhead Reef. In the underwater portion of the course, most of the bubbles that trail the sharks contain coins, but one of them holds the course's second Green Star. Small gaps appear in the terrain that allow the player character to avoid Small Rammerheads as they swim by. Three breaching Small Rammerheads later appear near the Goal Pole, where they breach over terrain in tall arcs, belly side up. The ones on screen are immediately defeated upon touching the Goal Pole, each one awarding the player 1000 points.

In Bowser's Fury, Cat Rammerheads[1] appear in Lake Lapcat on the archipelagic path between Clawswipe Colosseum and Trickity Tower. Unlike the ones from the the Sprixie Kingdom, these Rammerheads have cat ears, a cat tail, and are furred. Their dorsa is a drap purple, just like the larger Rammerheads. Cat Rammerheads leap in low arcs over the path, making them difficult to avoid. Their backs are directed towards the sky, unlike the Small Rammerheads in Rammerhead Reef. Their eyes turn to follow Mario's position when he is within their immediate vicinity.

They identity of this shark enemy as a specific variant of normal Rammerheads has been opaque. Unlike Goombas, there are no Rammerhead variants recognized in the Prima Games guidebook for Super Mario 3D World.[2] The name "Small Rammerhead" is applied to the narrow-headed Rammerheads in the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia and the Mario Portal Game Archive for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.[3][1] whereas the little one from Captain Toad Makes a Splash is called this on the Mario Portal Game Archive for the original Super Mario 3D World. The pink ones are not listed at all.[4] Because the pink narrow-headed ones are the only Rammerheads to have a unique filename designation from the normal ones, these are presumed to be the "true" Small Rammerheads.
