History[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Dream Team, Capnaps appear inMushrise Park and may sometimes appear alongsideThorbs. In the field, they tend to fall asleep, but will awaken and charge at intruders into their territory if there is one. Three of them are required to battle, which serves as a tutorial for Bros. Attacks. In battle, Capnaps have many attacks. They may teeter drowsily back and forth near a Bro., who must either smack the ground near it with his hammer to wake it up, or smash the Capnap itself before it inevitably crashes into him. Capnaps also are able to run at bothMario andLuigi by running into the foreground or background and dashing straight towards them, where they mustjump as the Capnap nears them to avoid it.
A Capnap may also attempt to charge into a Bro. after approaching him, which can be evaded by jumping before the Capnap hits him. Sometimes the Capnap fallsasleep before it is awakened by a noise and attacking. In this case, the Bros. must time their jumps properly.
Variants of Capnaps appear in the Dream World, beingDreamcaps andDreamcap Captains. These in turn have stronger variants, theDreamcaps R andDreamcap Captains R.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Brothership, Capnaps appear in theLushgreen Sea, Great Lighthouse Island andLiil Islet, and may sometimes appear alongsideSpikelies in the former area andHydro Seedles andDrillbies in the latter area. Their behavior in the field is similar to their behavior inMario & Luigi: Dream Team, and they even use the same attacks as in that game. Stronger variants calledCapnaps R appear inBulbfish Island. WhenGobblick performs its spit attack, it may sometimes spit them along with the aforementioned Spikelies andCoins. These Capnaps cannot be countered and must be avoided.
Later in the game, Capnaps are infected withGlohm and become much stronger.Glohm Capnaps can pass on their Glohm infection, explode into a fiery shockwave when destroyed, and are also spat out byGlohm Gobblick.
