Stonks are poisonous cloudy enemies the appear inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake,Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. They are found in theAirway once theDark Star entersBowser's body to steal DNA from him, forcingMario andLuigi to stop it.
Stonks appear as purple,Poison Puff-shaped clouds in the overworld that can partially dissipate to avoid Mario and Luigi; in battle, they immediately swell to a larger form with a black star over their eyes, and two smaller clouds that act as hands or fists. InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, their larger forms always have an angry expression, which is only used during one attack in the original game. They are usually paired withAir Cannons andAirnapses.
Battle[edit]
Stonks can attack by splitting themselves into four smaller clouds similar to their overworld forms, each of which then circle around both of the Mario Bros.; the real one's face is visible for a while before slowly vanishing, requiring the player to keep track of it and counter by hitting that cloud with thehammer. Hitting the other clouds simply dissipates them, and if the Bros. are not quick enough, the clouds will strike and possiblypoison one or both of them. They can also generate a slanted vertical line of clouds that trail towards Mario and Luigi, which they can avoid byjumping in the right order; this attack can also poison either brother if they are hit.
Stonks take critical damage from theFire FlowerBros. Attack.
InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, countering their splitting attack only deals a single point of damage.
