Evolution of Maw-Ray in Super Mario Games (1996-2022)

[@insectostrich4407]

I really like how Nintendo integrated the Maw-ray into The Super Mario Bros Movie. They really know how to appeal to the fans without making it come off as forced.

[@mariocooper1996]

From the start of being freaky in Super Mario 64 to being a unexpected Jumpscare in the Mario Movie. Maw-raw is a well known enemy throughout the Mario series.

[@keithtorgersen9664]

@mariocooper1996, that scene didn’t seem jump-scary, just unexpected.

The maw-rays from Mario Odyssey genuinely scared the living crap out of me. *I still have trauma from Super Mario Galaxy*....

[@diegoalfonsobeltranromero4828]

Irrita y me no que me ❤❤❤

[@parker-boy98]

The eels in Super Mario Galaxy are actually a different species called "Gringill". Maw-Ray is also in New Super Mario Bros.

[@FrancoJ]

I’m going to be honest, I had no idea what these nightmares where called before I watched this video.

[@lovableidiotfiona]

Neither did I lol

[@HaydenLeischner]

Not all are maw-ray this is false information

[@gamerdudeplayz2292]

This is where the nightmares began.

[@spicybeantofu]

Yes. 💀

[@L0NER535]

Ye ur Right Mr. Mario

[@FREE_ROBUX_ON_MY_CHANNEL301]

Yep...but the mario galaxy one is absolute terror

[@ImKoreanJeezus]

Never will forget how spooked as a kid I was

[@RandomGodzillaFan-p6z]

The one from super Mario galaxy looks so cursed

[@Angel-Starbreeze]

The ones in Galaxy gave me nightmares a kid, and I never wanted to do that star.

[@Gobblin_Goblin]

As someone who was terrified of the eel in 64 they definitely made em even more horrifying looking in Galaxy I feel for you.

[@warioland523]

It doesn't help that they are in the level that combines the water and ghost themes.

[@Sebby120]

The maw rays in Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 always creep me out they are terrifying

[@Gridkeeperr]

They are called Gringills. They also traumatised me for life when I was younger lmao I had my friend grab that single star piece for me, especially while kids are watching, they were all screaming at it.

[@brettmcgrigg5273]

When I saw it online, it freak me the freak out

[@anthonynixon3706]

Those big, unblinking eyes. Those pointy, yet round teeth. That gaping mouth, mounted on a massive head. The most defining features of the Gringill are also the most horrifying.

[@brettmcgrigg5273]

@@anthonynixon3706 why would they made those freaks.

[@Agnus_João]

I have thalassophobia, and when i saw this creature in SMG2, i try to be fast to not taken any damage. Results: now i have a big fear of video game's oceans. Obs: i was a child when i played SMG2.

[@aceyt7871]

imagine youre in a gigantic hole in the ocean and theres a giant eel at the bottom and youre forced to fight it

[@azazel2551]

thank god you remembered 3d land, i love that game

[@Deadchannel42267]

3d land sold very bad you’re probably talking about 3d World

[@eduardomagana3858]

@@Deadchannel42267 was Maw-Ray in World?

[@Deadchannel42267]

No

[@Deadchannel42267]

It was in 3D World and not super Mario world

[@imspoilerina9228]

@Deadchannel42267 it didn’t sell bad at all. What r u on about lol

[@Mac14329]

The Gringills make all the other ones look like plush toys. They're the reason I struggled to beat the game as a kid because they creeped me out so much.

[@jaimedelena5575]

In super Mario 64, the eel’s name is Unagi which is the Japanese word for eel

[@spicybeantofu]

It's the food that's grilled up with the "teriyaki" type sauce.

[@Hollowolfjas4014]

None of them are as scary as the original Mario 64 one. It's something about the starey eyes and bright red mouth. The other ones are either creepy-cute, have a sense pf personality, or are weirdly realistic. But 64's just looks like it wants only to kill.

[@gwendolynfulwood5735]

POV: when your friend asks you what's the definition of nightmare fuel

[@keldrongemini2422]

The guy who made the design for SMO though he was working for a Monster Hunter game

[@acefisherman913]

I love how over 2 decades they've always managed to make these things jus5 slightly above the right level of horrifying

[@hartmutj.andrade5985]

Oh common! You had to post an evolution of theses scary eels?!

[@DinoDylan1118]

14:58 Not to be a jerk, but as in the level title, these are called ‘dragoneals’

[@therealagfeild]

I like the NSMB and the SMO design 😄

[@ghoull2010]

the nsmb is same as sm64 ds Bc they are both same models and same console

[@therealagfeild]

@@ghoull2010 thx for that

[@justsomebody9990]

who in nintendo think it's a good idea to make these horrible things and to make them evolve weirder an scarier after each game?! and who saw this and tell himself: the players will LOVE that! probably the type of guys who like australian spider.

[@dadaciacio9536]

Fun Fact: Maw-Rays are called "Unagi".

[@sahaprocks7751]

Actually they are NOW called May Rays ever since Odyssey

[@ScorchingSanity]

I have been terrified of weird underwater creatures in video games my entire life. The ones in that first underwater level in SM64 were possibly the first water monsters I encountered in gaming. They are the reason I dreaded whenever it was time to do that level.

[@allotallosaurus7652]

Bro turned into a eel to a dinosaur head like eel

[@xtruejudgementx5017]

They should bring back the chain chomp look, I loved them

[@spicybeantofu]

I hate underwater levels and this awful thing started my fears. I hate eels.

[@theshyrabbit4]

Maw-Ray looks very drunk in 3D land

[@imspoilerina9228]

Fun fact: that enemy isn’t actually a maw-ray but is actually a relative called “spike eel”

[@aidanrobbins8723]

Maw-ray: becoming more realistic since 1996

[@JuanOrtiz-ku2wz]

In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe that creature is not a Maw-Ray it’s Dragoneel.

[@multiversegamer6587]

The only good thing about the eel battle in super Mario sunshine is the infinite water

[@multiversegamer6587]

@R Croissant lol

[@wowserz_177]

In New Super Mario Bros. U, those aren't Maw-Rays, they are actually called Dragoneels, which says in the title of the level.

[@rushe6184]

super mairo sunshine that part was so hard and annoying bc you have to get coins to heal and he would go down so you can not clean the teeth and it was so hard to move in the water

[@theditty.itmasterlhammafia4346]

It's real name is unagi the eel accept the new super Mario bros U one because it looks like it's more related to gobblegut from Galaxy 2

[@prestonandtom9337]

OMG! The one in super mario land scared the shit out of me!

[@alexshirley296]

sm3l is just a thing from spore

[@matteomascaropennacchi2220]

Maw-ray also appears in 2023 Mario movie, please include him!❤

[@notsoverified]

Mario Oddyssey made it look so realistic 💀

[@waltermd]

And Mario Galaxy so terrifying

[@JeroSuarez]

And Mario 3D Land so goofy

[@warioland523]

I think the Maw-Ray in SM64 is probably the second creepiest enemy in the game behind the fucking man eating piano in level 5. Thankfully the Maw-Ray is quite sluggish and easy to avoid but it can drown you easily if you bump into it.

[@chrange9714]

I love how you got all the creepy ones then there's just a derpy ass version of em in 3d Land lmao

[@theelevatedone2763]

The New Super Mario Bros one gave me vivid nightmares

[@bromodragone8405]

Mario: *swims down to the Maw-Ray in the shipwreck* Maw-Ray: *confused stare* What? Mario: I'd like to grab the Star that's behind you, can you move please? Maw-Ray: Yeah, sure, just stand back. *swims out, allowing Mario to go get the star*

[@DenaziaVessel]

Even though I’m not a mario fan.. super mario sunshine and super mario 3d world were my top favorites and of course 64

The one in Galaxy looks English

[@Ehan-mohsin-the-2nd]

Well it has a real name tho?

[@arturomolina1004]

The Mario Bros U one is not a maw-ray, is called dragon eel. Same with Eely mouth from Mario Sunshine. Spike grill from 3D land or Gringill from galaxy. This is more like an eel evolution in mario games instead of just Maw-ray

There is no way those things in 3d-land are maw-rays. There aint a shred of terror in those while the rest were actually scary or atleast somewhat off putting. They look like they're more afraid of us than anything.

[@PlaymoX]

You forgot the mario kart 8 one

It's the N64 one though isn't it I can't remember as I hate that stage cause of the eel lol
