Foopflies are fly-like enemies inMario & Luigi: Brothership. They are encountered in the underground area ofBulbfish Island. Foopflies are large pink flies with black and white goggle-like eyes, long yellow mouths and yellow bottoms. They also have two black legs.
In the field, Foopflies generally fly aimlessly around, but will shoot small rocks at intruders in their territory.
Stronger versions of Foopflies, known asFoopfly Rs, appear inFortress Zokket. Later on in the game, Foopflies onBulbfish Island become infected withGlohm, becomingGlohm Foopflies.
Battle[edit]
In battle Foopflies fly above the ground, so some attacks will miss them. They have three attacks:
- They can fly in front of Mario or Luigi and spit rocks, which must bejumped to avoid. After each rock, the Foopfly advances closer to their target. When they are close enough, they will fly into the character. Jumping on them willcounterattack them. If Mario or Luigi gets hurt from a rock, the Foopfly will laugh, ending the attack. This attack is similar to the spit-and-advance attack of theSneed fromMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
- Foopflies can move close to a brother and spit out three rocks in the air, the third one being larger than the first two. The speed the rocks get spit out varies. The first two rocks miss, but the third will land on Mario or Luigi. They must defend by using theirhammers to repel the rock back at the attacking Foopfly.
- A Foopfly can fly up and land directly in front of Mario or Luigi, spinning around. The Foopfly will then spin slower and slower, eventually stopping and spitting out a rock at whoever is closest to them. This attack must be countered by using the hammer. When the Foopfly is attacked, it will stop and spit out a rock in the direction it is facing. The rock can hit the other character, as well as another enemy. If the Foopfly is defeated by the counterattack, no rock will be spit out. This attack is similar to one of the attacks of anEyepi'illo fromMario & Luigi: Dream Team.
Foopflies are of Level 20, and their defeat nets 166 EXP, 88 Coins, and probably a Bulbfish Lantern.
