'''Munchers''' are a near-invincible [[List of species|species]] of [[Piranha Plant]]. Unlike [[Nipper Plant]]s, Munchers are usually colored black and are immobile. Even a [[Starman]] cannot defeat a Muncher, but it can prevent it from hurting [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]].

As [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] warns to Mario in her letter leading into the world, they are harmless when frozen and act like platforms, but if the player uses a [[fireball]], the Muncher will become active again. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] hits a [[P-Switch]], all regular Munchers will briefly turn into [[coin]]s; if Mario or Luigi tail whips one, the Muncher will become an [[Empty Block]] (except in the GBA version, where they are unaffected).
