In ''Super Mario World'', Blarggs (also named '''Munchers'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28, page 16.</ref>) are fairly rare enemies, encountered primarily in the [[Vanilla Dome]]. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approach a Blargg on a [[Lava Lift|Skull Lift]], the eyes of the Blargg will be visible before they dip back into the lava, moments before lunging. [[Yoshi]] is capable of jumping on them and, with some difficulty, eating them. The player can also opt to [[Spin Jump]] if lacking a Yoshi, although this method only prevents one from taking damage if landing on a Blargg or its eyes. They are mainly seen in [[Vanilla Dome 3]], though they make their first appearance in [[Vanilla Dome 1]] and later reappear in [[Chocolate Secret]]. It is possible for [[Invincible Mario]] to defeat one in Vanilla Dome 1 before falling into the lava. [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] can also defeat it with a Body Press attack before falling into the lava. These methods reveal a glitched sprite.

In the episode "[[The Wheel Thing]]", Mario and Luigi, having been banned to the [[Lava Pits (Super Mario World television series)|Lava Pits]], begin attempting to cook a pizza over a fire. The smell from this cooking pizza causes a Blargg to emerge from a nearby lake of lava and begin to chase Luigi, attempting to eat the plumber. Luigi is rescued from being devoured as Mario swoops down and saves his brother as [[Cape Mario]].

Blarggs, with their appearance resembling how they appeared in ''Super Mario World'', were [[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|originally going to appear]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' as enemies in [[Lethal Lava Land]], [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], and even [[Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]] as they were found in the game's coding.
