Coddle is a First Officer command used by Kamek in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. It is Kamek's second command, the first being Sneak Attack. It is unlocked at level 28 and costs 6 CP to use. Once it is activated, Kamek will fly over to Bowser Jr. and start giving him compliments. After each compliment, Kamek will think to himself about continuing and the player can choose to continue or quit. The more compliments that are given, the more Bowser Jr.'s mood is raised and the more CP he will receive. If Kamek overdoes this, however, Bowser Jr. will become suspicious, and will receive much less CP, and the move will end automatically. After each compliment is given, more and more musical notes will appear, and the music that plays will become faster and higher. This is one of the two Captain Commands not known by any enemies in the game, the other being Negotiate.
Effects[edit]
The effects of Coddle depend on the number of compliments given before stopping. The CP Bowser Jr. recovers is a percentage of his maximum CP, rounded to the nearest whole number if needed.
| Total compliments |
Kamek's thoughts on continuing | Bowser Jr.'s reaction to stopping | Effect when stopping | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | "You can keep going!" | "Keep talking..." | 20% of Bowser Jr.'s CP restored. | — |
| 2 | "You're just getting warmed up." | "Whoa! Do you mean that?" | 40% of Bowser Jr.'s CP restored. | — |
| 3 | ||||
| 4 | "One more time? How about it?" | "Haha! I knew it!" | 60% of Bowser Jr.'s CP restored. | Giving another complement can cause Bowser Jr. to become suspicious. |
| 5 | "This could start getting suspicious..." | "YES! That's what I'm talking about!" | 70% of Bowser Jr.'s CP restored. Temporary increase to Bowser Jr.'s POW, DEF, or SPEED. |
Giving another complement will always cause Bowser Jr. to become suspicious. |
If Bowser Jr. becomes suspicious, the special effects (music notes and special music) from the move will stop, he will pause for a moment, then he will angrily say "What? You're just saying that." to Kamek and only recover 20% of his CP.
