Ragumo appearappears in two volumes of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', as a part of the ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' arc. Like most enemies featured in ''Super Mario-kun'', Ragumo actacts similarly to how they do in their source material. Notably, in volume 6, the Ragumo is redesigned to heavily resemble a [[Monty Mole]] (although the Ragumo still keeps their signature drill), likely due to Ragumo being a relative to Monty Mole.

A singular Ragumo appears in the final chapter of volume 6 as a major enemy. Whenwhen Mario enters the [[Tree Zone]], hewhere the Ragumo ambushes both Mario and his [[Carrot]] friend are ambushed by the Ragumo, with. Mario attemptingattempts to lure the Ragumo with histhe Carrot, but the Carrot kicks Mario into the air for trying to use them as bait. Mario then proceeds to attempt throwing [[fireball]]s at the Ragumo, but theythe Ragumo pops upout on the other side of the ground completely unharmed. A [[Bopping Toady]] then helps the Ragumo by pinning Mario down using their tongue. The Carrot tries helping Mario, but they are quickly destroyeddrilled wheninto thepieces Ragumoby drillsthe through itRagumo. The Ragumo then attempts to drill through Mario nextas well, but Mario uses his [[Bunny Mario|Bunny Ears]] to try and stopfight back the Ragumo's from drilling into himdrill. As the Ragumo attempts to drill into Mario, he spots a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]] that he uses to power up his Bunny Ears. Now with the extra power, allowingMario himeasily to breakbreaks the Ragumo's drill and slap the Bopping Toady that was pinning him. Notably, the Ragumo in this volume is redesigned to heavily resemble a [[Monty Mole]], although the Ragumo still keeps their signature drill.

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 is more faithful to itstheir artwork from itstheir source material, 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.
