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.

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

[@ImKoreanJeezus]

Never will forget how spooked as a kid I was

[@matteovaladez-uq5mh]

The one from super Mario galaxy looks so cursed

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Nerd_lascado]

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.

[@studioanimations]

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.

[@gwendolynfulwood5735]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@theshyrabbit4]

Maw-Ray looks very drunk in 3D land

[@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.

[@dadaciacio9536]

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

[@sahaprocks7751]

Actually they are NOW called May Rays ever since Odyssey

[@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.

[@Ehan-mohsin-the-2nd]

This has been one of my nightmares for a while.

[@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.

[@acefisherman913]

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

[@prestonandtom9337]

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

[@chrange9714]

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

[@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

[@Kameron347]

Galaxy was the scariest by far

Fun Fact: The Maw-Ray made a cameo appearance in the super Mario bros movie

[@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

This’ll be the big eel.

Maw-ray: becoming more realistic since 1996

Smbu:thats a dragoneel

[@CowboyPat]

Super mario 64 music is so beautiful 😢

[@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

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
