Splorches are uncommon enemies that first appear in Super Mario 3D World. They are large orange fireballs that have purple masks around their eyes, quite similar to Antasma's eyes, and a large grin. They first appear in World Castle-A and after that, they usually appear in levels with lava.
Splorches pop out of lava and roll towards the players. They can be pushed back into the lava using projectiles such as those of the Boomerang Flower and Fire Flower. Splorches also leave a trail of lava that damages the players. These enemies can only be defeated by Invincible Mario, Golden Statue Mario or White Tanooki Mario.
