The Mega Unagi is a colossal subspecies of Unagi. It appears in New Super Mario Bros. and later in Mario Kart Wii. It attacks by popping its head out for a split second and then charging, overall, Mega Unagis behave similarly to normal-sized Unagis but they're more powerful, aggressive, and they can destroy anything in their path. Unlike most enemies, Mega Unagis are completely invincible and there is no attack that defeats them.

In New Super Mario Bros.[]

Mega Unagis first appear in New Super Mario Bros., in which they appear in the levels World 4-3 and World 8-3. They travel along the water and are large enough to destroy dense blocks. One Mega Unagi actually chases Mario or Luigi throughout the level, requiring them to swim quickly. If Mario or Luigi is directly under or above the Mega Unagi, it either lowers itself onto them or swim upwards to hit them, making it an extremely deadly foe. Mega Unagis are completely invincible and consume everything in their path. Mega Unagis cannot be defeated, not even from a Starman, although being under the effect of one allows Mario or Luigi to be invincible to it.

In Mario Kart Wii[]

Mega Unagis make a reappearance in Mario Kart Wii. In this game, some Mega Unagis can be seen in Chain Chomp Wheel through the windows of the battle course swimming in the outer aquarium, as the Mega Unagis cannot be reached, they are completely harmless. Normal-sized Unagis are also seen in Koopa Cape.

Trivia[]

  • An issue of Nintendo Power voted the Mega Unagi to be the scariest villain in New Super Mario Bros.; the article referred to it as a "giant screen-taking eel."
