'''Gnawshers''' are winged [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]-like enemies with golden eyes and teeth that chomp through blocks, other enemies, collectibles, or items, hence their name, which is a combination of "gnaw" and "gnasher". While the more common black variants simply travel straight horizontally or vertically, eating anything in their path, red variants would fly around idly until they are close to something that they can consume, be it the player, other enemies (except other Gnawshers), or coins, chasing after their chosen prey and switching targets depending on what is closest to them. Gnawshers can be defeated by any form of attack ([[stomp]]s, [[fireball]]s, [[Elephant Mario|elephant trunk]] strikes, [[bubble]]s, [[Drill Mario|drill]] attacks, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s tongue, or contact with players made invincible by a [[Super Star]]).

Gnawshers are winged Chomp-like enemies with golden eyes and teeth that chomp through blocks, other enemies, collectibles, or items, hence their name, which is a combination of "gnaw" and "gnasher". Most Gnawshers have black-colored bodies, and they simply travel straight horizontally or vertically, eating anything in their path. There are also red variants called Search Gashigashi that home-in on targets, similar to the relationship between Bullet Bills and Bull's-Eye Bills. Gnawshers can be defeated by any form of attack.

Gnawshers appear prominently in a level dedicated to them, Gnawsher Lair. In a later point in this level, a Gnawsher can potentially consume the ? Block holding the level's Wonder Flower. If the player is quick enough to get the Wonder Flower before this, the resulting Wonder Effect summons a horde of Gnawshers from the left, destroying everything in their path (except for certain things like moving platforms). These Gnawshers are invulnerable to damage, but they can be stunned by Red POW Blocks (triggered either by the player or contact with the horde itself), momentarily stopping their advance. Another horde of Gnawshers appears to chase the player character through a crystal section of The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet.
