|footer=Yikk in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''

'''Yikk''' is a character that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. When [[Bowser]] enters the [[Tower of Yikk]], he finds and reads through a book he finds on a desk. Bowser's way out is then blocked off, and Yikk appears from the book as a ghostly apparition. Yikk claims he invented the Tower of Yikk and the [[Boo-ray Machine]]. He created the Boo-ray Machine to study [[Boo]]s and other spiritual beings. After Yikk explains his machine and how to use it, he shuts the book and goes back into slumber.

Yikk is similar to [[Professor E. Gadd]], as both characters study ghosts, and both of their names are puns on exclamations ("ick" or "yeek" for the former, "egad" for the latter).
