Splorches[1] are enemies in Super Mario 3D World and its port. Their name is a pun on "torch" and the onomatopoeia "sploosh." Splorches are first encountered in Brolder Blockade Is Back, and they go on to also appear in some other lava-themed levels, such as Broken Blue Bully Belt. Splorches are large orange fireballs with dark-red masks around their eyes, and they have large grins. Splorches pop out of lava and roll towards the player characters. Splorches can be pushed back into the lava by using projectiles such as those of the Boomerang Flower and Fire Flower, or by hitting them with Tanooki Mario's tail spin or Rosalina's Spin Attack. Splorches also leave a trail of lava that damages the players. These enemies can be defeated only by Invincible Mario, Lucky Cat Mario, or White Tanooki Mario.
