'''Mega Unagis''' are a gigantic sub-species of the [[Unagi]] that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Mega Unagis chase [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) through two underwater stages in the game, being [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)#4-3|4-3]] and [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)#8-3|8-3]], trying to eat him. They are very dangerous, and eat everything they can, such as [[Brick Block]]s and [[Question Block|? Block]]s. There is no way to defeat a Mega Unagi. However, Mario can go "through" one with a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Star|Starman]]. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', a Mega Unagi appears in the [[Chain Chomp Wheel]] battle course and in [[Koopa Cape]] as freely-swimming eels that swim under the tunnel, unlike their smaller relatives in the same course, who are seen as living in pipes.
'''Mega Unagi'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> are a gigantic version of [[Maw-Ray|Unagi]] that appear only in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Mega Unagi appear in two underwater stages in the game, [[World 4-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-3]], where they function as obstacles swimming to the left, and [[World 8-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]], where one swims to the right and actively chases [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) throughout the latter half of the stage. Mega Unagi are very dangerous, and they destroy many objects in their path, such as [[Brick Block|brick]]s and [[? Block]]s. There is no way to defeat a Mega Unagi. However, Mario can go "through" one by using a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star|Starman]], and [[swim]]ming through its back; he will be pushed away if he collides with its face. In World 8-3, if Mario tries to stay above or below the Mega Unagi and let it pass, it will swim slower and move towards Mario, trying to corner him in the top or bottom of the screen. If this is unsuccessful, the Mega Unagi will eventually swim forward and vanish from the screen, but will return after approximately one minute. Unlike [[Cheep Chomp|Cheep-Chomp]]s, Mega Unagi cannot swallow Mario whole and cause him to lose a life instantly; instead, the player will take damage from it like a regular enemy.
 
Normal Unagi are larger in most subsequent appearances and thus appear to be closer in size to Mega Unagi, although normal Unagi do not display the destructive qualities of Mega Unagi.
