History[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story andMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Broggy first appears inPlack Beach, when Broque Monsieur is yelling for his Broggy. He and Bowser then find him on a cliff, hiding from the two. He then proceeds to smash into Broque Monsieur, knocking him onto his side.Bowser criticizes the fact that Broggy is Broque's pet and Broque replies with "Oui, but he is not his usual self today". Bowser prepares to land a fewpunches on Broggy, but Broque gives a loud cry of "NON!" and tells him to use hisfire abilities on him or Broggy will win. Bowser does this without too many problems and reigns victorious.
Broggy has only two attacks during the battle with him. One of them is to charge straight at Bowser, which must be countered by punching. Doing so will send Broggy flying into Broque, throwing him offscreen. Broque will then will crawl back to his original position. The other attack is tojump onto Bowser, which must be countered byducking. If Bowser successfully dodges, Broggy goes offscreen. However, the attack is not over then. Broggy will come back, making thumping noises and making the screen shake. Broggy will jump onto Bowser from behind, which is dodged by ducking again. If that is dodged, Broggy will once again smash into Broque, sending him offscreen. Before both of these attacks Broggy's eyes will flash red rapidly. Bowser has to attack Broggy with hisFire Breath and sets him on fire. While Broggy is burned, he turns to the other side so his bandage is vulnerable. Bowser has to attack Broggy's bandage until he is defeated. The bandage can be attacked with a punch as well as fire breath. After a couple of turns, the burn disappears and he continues fighting.
Broggy also has his own store, stately known asBroggy's Shop, where he sellsgear. Broggy also appears to help Bowser as aspecial attack calledBroggy Bonker that is unlocked by acquiring all fifteenBlitties from enemies viainhaling. However, once this happens, Broggy's Shop will no longer be open for business, due to the absence of Broggy, thoughBroque's shop will be able to sell both gear anditems.
If theMarioBros. talk to Broggy, he will growl in a manner much more menacing than he does to Bowser. This could indicate that not only is Broque Monsieur himself reluctant towards them, but Broggy is as well.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
Broggy reappears inMario & Luigi: Dream Team, in the opening cutscene whereDr. Snoozemore uses him to send a letter toPrincess Peach and Mario, which is an invitation toPi'illo Island. It is revealed that he has a communication screen behind his bandage, that Snoozemore uses to communicate to Mario. Due to this only taking place in Luigi's dream, he is not seen in the real world. He is not seen afterwards in the game, although he does make a cameo in thePi'illo Blimport shot.
