Crocodiles are a clade of real-life reptiles that have made appearances in the Super Mario franchise. Kremlings from the Donkey Kong franchise are notable examples of crocodiles.
History[edit ]
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit ]
- “Outta my way! The statue is mine! And the crocodiles are yours!”
- —Kangaroo Koopa , "Crocodile Mario"
Crocodiles first appear in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Here, several generic ones appear in only one episode—"Crocodile Mario," where they are portrayed with voracious appetites, and inhabit Down Under Land. In the episode, Kangaroo Koopa steals the Magic Statue, which repels crocodiles, from the Outback. Without the artifact, the crocodiles are free to roam the town. They come close to eating everyone there, almost eating the entire general store and the tree that everyone takes refuge atop of in the process. Mario and Luigi eventually retrieve the Magic Statue and liberate the Outback from the crocodiles just in time, who choose to pursue Kangaroo Koopa instead.
Mario Kart World[edit ]
Crocodiles appear in Mario Kart World in the savanna region around Faraway Oasis. In this game, they have short and stout bodies and long snouts. They appear only laying down unmoving, and when players drive into them, they give them a jump boost while openning their mouths.
Missions[edit ]
Crocodiles are featured in the following missions:
