Smackerels are enemies that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They resemble flatfish, with both eyes on the same side of their body. They have large, sharp-toothed jaws. Smackerels appear only in the level Leaping Smackerel where they burrow through the sand, periodically jumping out vertically to attack the player character. They can also defeat enemies such as Cheep Cheeps and Sluglugs when they leap out to attack. During the Wonder Effect of the level, a Wonder Smackerel appears, which is able to bite through part of the level to help the player collect Wonder Tokens.
Their English name is a portmanteau of "smack" and "mackerel".
