Plungelos are mini-bosses who appear in Super Mario Sunshine.

Physical description[]

Plungelos are similar in appearance to Cataquacks, but are larger, have a leaf-like sprout on their head, suction cup-like feet, a smoother mouth instead of a pointed beak, and a large, yellow circle surrounded by a thick, orange ring on the left and right sides of their body each.

In Super Mario Sunshine[]

The Plungelos are fought during Gelato Beach's second episode Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!. A total of six Plungelos are seen walking on the mirrors preventing the mirrors from reflecting the sunlight onto the egg of the Sand Bird. Mario must defeat all of the Plungelos to make all three mirrors shine upon the egg to earn a Shine Sprite.

Battle[]

In battle, the Plungelos mainly walk around and attack Mario whenever he gets close or sprays them with F.L.U.D.D. If Mario is on a mirror with more than one Plungelo, he must be careful as spraying one of them will cause another to attack.

Tips[]

The main way to defeat the Plungelos is to spray them enough times with F.L.U.D.D. until they reach the edge of the mirror where they are about to fall off. Mario should then Ground Pound at the higher, opposite end to send the Plungelo flying. This gets a bit difficult with the mirrors that have 2 and 3 Plungelos so Mario should try his best to spray multiple ones at the same time and Ground Pound them off.
