Palookas are punching bag-like enemies inMario & Luigi: Brothership. Their name comes from the same word meaning "an inferior or average prizefighter." Palookas are found onSkorcheen Island, where they hop around on a single leg and charge up to punchMario andLuigi if they are near. Palookas are red punching bags with angry yellow eyes and boxing gloves for hands, which float by their sides instead of being connected to their bodies with arms.

InFortress Zokket, stronger versions of Palookas, known asPalooka Rs, are found. Later on in the game, normal Palookas become infected withGlohm, becomingGlohm Palookas.

Battle[edit]

In battle, Palookas have two attacks, either of which can temporarily hit Mario or Luigi out of the battle if it hits:

They jump near Mario or Luigi and charge up an uppercut. The attacking Palooka must becounterattacked several times with thehammer to stop it from attacking. The amount of counters needed varies. After enough counters or if the Palooka is defeated, the attack ends.
Palookas can also guard themselves before jumping to a character. If they are countered while guarding, they take zero damage. They will eventually drop their guard to punch Mario or Luigi. The Palooka must be countered with the hammer after they lose their guard and before they punch. This attack is similar to the attack that thePOW Pep uses.
