Scarracudas are piranha-like enemies with silver fangs in Wario Land: Shake It! Their name is a pun on "barracuda" and "scare". There are three varieties of Scarracuda: red, green, and black. Red ones simply swim around in a pool of water. However, green ones can jump out of the water and attempt to bite Wario if he comes too close. Black ones live in the lava, but otherwise act the same as Green Scarracudas. If Wario gets hit by their fangs, he gets hurt. They can be defeated by running into them via a Max Fastosity Dasherator, Dash Attacking them while they are in the air, or throwing an enemy at them.

- Threat:
- Fearsome fish with big teeth and an even bigger appetite, Scarracudas are commonly found swimming near the surfaces of lakes and rivers. They'll bite Wario if he takes a dip and swims too close, and they can also leap out of the water and snap at Wario's feet if he's trying to slip past overhead. Scarracudas are tough to beat, so it's best to simply avoid them. Watch carefully as they swim about, and make sure Wario doesn't linger above them![1]
