A Spike Eel in World 7-1 from Super Mario 3D Land

In Super Mario 3D Land, Spike Eels appear only in underwater tropical levels, notably in World 3-2, World 7-1, and Special 2-2. Spike Eels stay in holes and swim in Mario's (or Luigi's) way, like Unagi and Gringills. They take 15 hits to defeat with the Fire Flower or Boomerang Flower, but can be defeated in a single hit with invincibility or by transforming into Statue Mario and crushing them. They can also be attacked from the front or behind.

At least one Spike Eel was originally going to appear in the Underwater Tunnel to the Lighthouse from the Seaside Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey with their appearance from Super Mario 3D Land, as shown in the area's concept artwork, but they were eventually replaced by Maw-Rays.[2]
