Editing Mechawful

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', Mechawfuls are found in [[Peach's Castle Garden]]. They can attack by flying towards one of the Mario Bros. and attempt to hit him with its fist. The player must [[hammer]] the Mechawful multiple times to prevent damage. An alternate attack used by the Mechawful is to fall from the air and land on the player. It is possible to predict which attack the Mechawful will use by watching its movement on the top screen of the game. If the Mechawful flies out of view, then it is preparing to land on its target. The dust marks which appear will also reveal which bro. is the target of the Mechawful's attack. Mario and Luigi must hit it with a hammer to deflect it. This will send the Mechawful flying towards and damaging another Mechawful in the match, if there are any.

 

As [[Bowser]], the player must quickly duck to avoid the Mechawful's attack. Alternatively, the Mechawful will rise to the top screen and land in front of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or Bowser. Failure to attack it immediately will cause the Mechawful to punch its target. Immediately after landing, the bros. must hit it with a hammer, or Bowser must punch it, to trigger a roulette-type action. Once the roulette is activated, the Mechawful's chest will light up and eyes will cycle through the colors yellow, blue, and red. Attacking it again will cause the roulette to stop.  

*If red, the Mechawful will self-destruct, harming the player. It will only award [[Experience Point|experience]] and [[coin]]s for defeating the head of the robot (not the rest of the body) at the end of the battle. It may also cause the player to become [[dizzy]].

When defeated, the '''Mechawful Head'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 167.</ref> detaches from the body and will either fly away, attack, or summon a new body on the next turn. Bowser can inhale the head, preventing the Mechawful from reassembling its body. Mario and Luigi can then fight the head of the Mechawful inside Bowser. Occasionally, the head is destroyed with the body when the Mechawful has self-destructed, or when it is destroyed as a result of a counter-attack.
