Durmite lives inside the Giga-carrot that Bowser ate in order to obtain the Banzai Bill from a Wiggler who runs the Wiggler Family Farm in Dimble Wood. Shortly after leaving the farm, Bowser comes down with a painful stomachache and demands Chippy investigate immediately. Mario and Luigi go to the Nerve Cluster to find the source of the pain, and immediately encounter the Durmite, who entered Bowser's body while he ate the Giga-carrot. Durmite breaks through a wall of bone. Starlow asked Durmite if she is a friend of a bug in a farm. Durmite stomped twice, Starlow implied she didn't talk to much and was in the carrot that Bowser ate. She realized that Durmite looked huge, and interrogated why. Along came Biffiduses, which she ate with her tongue, then grew bigger explaining why she was big. So Starlow apologizes that they have to exterminate her with the Mario's agreement. However, Luigi refused which Mario and Starlow pushed him to Durmite to battle. After the battle, Durmite felt exhausted and shrank back to her tiny size. This may look like Wisdurm in a small size, then she ran away.

Battle[]

Durmite has five actions, three of which are attacks. The first two, which are not attacks, are that it spawns Biffduses and creates a straw in the ground to suck Bowser's HP. The next three, however, are attacks. The first and most common one of its attacks are that it creates a web in which Mario and Luigi must jump over. If one of them fails to jump and is sucked in, then he is shot at the other bro to do massive damage. To avoid the other bro receiving damage, the player must not jump during the attack. Its second attack is that it begins to glow red and then charges at Mario or Luigi. It must then be countered with a hammer to not only be attacked but also to prevent Mario or Luigi from taking damage. Its final attack is that is swallows the Biffduses and then shoots their spears at either Mario or Luigi.
