Astro’s Playroom [PS5] – T-rex / Astro

Media: video game: “Astro’s Playroom”
Developer: Japan Studio, Team Asobi
Platform: PlayStation 5

Description: 

Once all four worlds are completed, a fifth level opens up with the subtitle “1994 Throwback.” Upon reaching the end of the brief level, the T-rex from the 1994 PlayStation tech demo appears as a boss. A view into its mouth can be seen as it roars at Astro Bot and spits enemies at him, and it will regularly use biting attacks, though this deals contact damage, rather than the T-rex actually swallowing him.

After defeating the T-rex, a robotic T-rex then appears and acts as the final boss. It behaves largely similarly to the first T-rex, but when defeated, Astro must grab its tongue and pull it so it strikes it in the face.

Super Mario RPG [NS] – Belome / Party Members

Media: video game: “Super Mario RPG”
Developer: ArtePiazza
Platform: Nintendo Switch

Description: 

Early in the game, Mario and Mallow must travel through the Kero Sewers, and will encounter the boss known as Belome at the end. Belome appears to be a large four-eyed dog-like monster with a long tongue. Belome’s attacks include a licking attack and status-inflicting magic. He is also scripted to specifically target Mallow to flick him into the air and swallow him whole. Mallow can be freed if Mario hits Belome a number of times, and conversely, Mallow can remain inside Belome indefinitely if Mario does not attack. If Mario’s HP is reduced to zero while Mallow is still inside Belome’s stomach, this results in a game over, or if Mario is already knocked out beforehand, Belome swallowing Mallow will also result in an instant game over.

Later in the game, the party will face Belome once more, in Belome’s Temple at Land’s End. In this second encounter, Belome can target any party member to eat (Mario, Mallow, Geno, Peach or Bowser), but will spit them back out immediately after commenting on their taste, using this taste to create an enemy clone of the eaten character. Each character supposedly has a different flavor, and Belome will comment as such:

• “Ack! Sour!” (Mario)
• “YES! This is yummy!” (Mallow)
• “Bitter, but not bad…” (Geno)
• “Mmm, tastes peachy…” (Peach)
• “Yuck! How repulsive!” (Bowser)

In the Nintendo Switch remake of the game, Belome can be fought a third time in Belome’s Temple after defeating the final boss of the game. He attacks the party, seemingly irritable, complaining of a sore, scratchy throat, and although there are slight differences in the fight, such as increased difficulty and clones granting him impenetrable defence, the fight is very similar to the second fight. When Belome swallows a character in this fight, he no longer comments on their taste. Upon defeating him, he spits out Mallow’s strongest weapon, which was seemingly the cause of his sore throat.

Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon [AST, CA, PC] – Pod / Roger, Annihilator

Media: video game: “Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon”
Developer: Sierra On-Line
Platform: Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, Computer

Description: 

After landing on planet Phleebhut, if Roger walks to the screen immediately left from the landing site, he will encounter a small cave-like overhang, that houses barnacle-like pods on the underside. If Roger walks underneath them, they will grab him with a long tongue and slowly pull him in to eat him, with blood dripping out their mouth.

Later, when the Annihilator pursues Roger, one of the ways to dispose of him is to lure him underneath them. Once eaten, the pod will spit out his invisibility belt, which Roger must retrieve with a stick, else he gets devoured, too.
