In ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', Ragumo appear exclusively in the [[Tree Zone]]'s [[Invincibility!Tree Zone Area 1|first stage]] and can be found in low-lying areas, such as pits or ditches. To attack, thea Ragumo will burrow underground and attempt to pop up in [[Mario]]'s path. HoweverUnlike their [[Monty Mole|relative]] however, Ragumo do not chase Mario and only damage him if he comes in contact with them. Mario can swiftlydefeat a Ragumo by simply [[jump]] beforeon thethem Ragumobefore popsor up,after thusthey landingare aout hitof onthe its headground. [[Fireball]]s canare also bean effective way to defeat ita Ragumo, butthough this only whenapplies once the Ragumo hasis surfaced, as the fireballs will simply miss the Ragumo while their still underground.

A singular Ragumo appears in the final chapter of volume 6, whereas a major enemy when Mario enters the [[Tree Zone]], hewhere the Ragumo ambushes both Mario and his [[Carrot]] are ambushed by the Ragumofriend. Mario triesattempts luringto lure the Ragumo with histhe Carrot, but the Carrot kicks himMario ininto the air for trying to use them as bait. Mario then proceeds to attempt throwing [[fireball]]s at the Ragumo, but itthe Ragumo pops upout on the other side of the ground completely unharmed. A [[Bopping Toady]] then helps the Ragumo by pinning Mario down using itstheir tongue. The Carrot tries helping Mario, but itthey isare quickly destroyeddrilled wheninto thepieces Ragumoby drillsthe through itRagumo. The Ragumo then attempts to drill through Mario as well, but Mario uses his [[Bunny Mario|Bunny Ears]] to try and stopfight back the Ragumo's drill. As the Ragumo drills,attempts to drill Mario, he spots a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]] that he uses to power up his Bunny Ears. toNow breakwith the extra power, Mario easily breaks the Ragumo's drill and slap the Bopping Toady. Thethat Ragumowas resembles a Monty Molepinning in this volumehim.

A Ragumo cameosmakes a small cameo in volume 10 as one of the enemies Luigi recruits to defeat [[Wario]]. TheUnlike their previous appearance in the manga, the Ragumo's design in this volume looksis more faithful to itstheir artwork from ''Supertheir Mariosource Landmaterial, 2''rather than being redesigned to look like a Monty Mole.

In the first ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' volume, several Ragumo emerge out of the ground and surround [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and a friendly [[Battle Beetle]], alongside the other [[Tree Zone]] inhabitants. However, Mario eats a [[Carrot]] to become [[Bunny Mario]] and uses his flight abilities to quickly escape from the Tree Zone enemies while carrying his friends. Much later, a Ragumo can be seen in one of the tunnels in the [[Macro Zone]]'s [[TheMacro Zone AntArea Monsters1|first area]], despite never appearing inanywhere near [[Macro Zone]] in the actual game.
