The Small Rammerhead[1] is a little shark enemy in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. It occurs only in Captain Toad Makes a Splash, the second Captain Toad's Adventures level in the game, where it breaches over a wooden dock. It is the only enemy in the level. Because the player is not given any means of attacking the Small Rammerhead and available characters cannot jump, the player can work to only avoid the shark. The Small Rammerhead leaps at the same height regardless of the water level, meaning Captain Toad and the other members of the Toad Brigade can safely avoid being struck by lowering the water with the P Switch found in the level.
Unlike with the normal Rammerheads that exceed the size of Mario, the Small Rammerhead's body is about the same size as a Toad's. Unlike with some Rammerheads, this one's head is very wide and nearly covers the full length of the dock it breaches over. It otherwise is physically identical to the larger wide-headed Rammerheads.
