Not to be confused with Maw-Ray.
Maw-Maw
Maw-Maw
First appearance Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023)

Maw-Maws are salamander- and tadpole-like enemies that first appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They appear prominently in a level with their own name, Maw-Maw Mouthful. They chase and eat anything and everything in their path, including other enemies and power-ups left on the ground. However, they cannot eat players, who will only take damage on contact with their mouths (unless the players are in their Goomba form via a Wonder Effect, in which case the player will be eaten and instantly lose a life). After chasing for a period of time, they become exhausted and stop.[1] If they eat any type of shell or fireball, they will spit it back out.[2] Stomping them will stun them; stomping them while they are stunned will defeat them. A Maw-Maw will also get stunned if it attempts to open its mouth while under a low ceiling and consequently hits its head. It can activate or break blocks by doing so. They also take multiple hits to defeat with a Fire Flower.
