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 as a major enemy. When Mario enters the [[Tree Zone]], he and his [[Carrot]] friend are ambushed by the Ragumo, with Mario attempting to lure the Ragumo with his Carrot, but the Carrot kicks Mario into the air. Mario then proceeds to attempt throwing [[fireball]]s at the Ragumo, but they pops up on the other side unharmed. A [[Bopping Toady]] helps the Ragumo by pinning Mario down using their tongue. The Carrot tries helping Mario but they are quickly destroyed when the Ragumo drills through it. The Ragumo then attempts to drill through Mario next, but Mario uses his [[Bunny Mario|Bunny Ears]] to try and stop the Ragumo from drilling into him. As the Ragumo attempts to drill into Mario, he spots a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]] that he uses to power up his Bunny Ears, allowing him to break the Ragumo's drill and slap the Bopping Toady pinning him.
