'''Elite Pestnuts''' are small, round, [[urchin]]-like enemies that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and the remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. They are the stronger variety of [[Pestnut]]s, and only appear in battle alongside [[Blooper]]s on the [[Seabed]]. The original game simply called them '''Pestnuts''' like their base counterparts; the remake of the game gives them their current name. {{br|toc=y}}
'''Elite Pestnuts''' are small, round, [[urchin]]-like enemies that are found in the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are the stronger variety of the [[Pestnut]]s encountered in [[Chucklehuck Woods]]. They did not receive their own name to distinguish them from their weaker counterparts until the remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. The original [[Game Boy Advance]] title simply called them '''Pestnuts'''.


==Battle==
Unlike their weaker counterparts, they do not appear in the overworld, and instead reside with [[Blooper]]s. Elite Pestnuts are covered in spikes, making them impossible to [[Jump]] on, unless one is wearing any of the "Spiny-Killer Jump" [[Badge]]s. The spiky creatures can attack by rolling into their target from the front or behind. Although it is slightly stronger than the green version, this variety is also faster than the weaker variety and can also [[poison (status effect)|poison]] the Mario Bros. with its attacks.  
Elite Pestnuts are covered in spikes like regular Pestnuts, making them impossible to [[jump]] on, unless [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] wear any of the "Spiny-Killer Jump" [[Badge]]s. They share the same attack pattern as well, with two rolling attacks that much each be dodged with a jump or countered with a [[hammer]]; the attacks come faster and deal more damage in addition to possibly [[poison (status effect)|poisoning]] the Mario Bros. on contact.


After the Elite Pestnut takes enough damage, the outer shell breaks, revealing a [[Beanie]] or [[Gold Beanie]] underneath. However, once this happens they will float up to the surface; in the 3DS remake, they will drown instead. In both cases, this counts as defeating the foe and still gives out [[Experience Point]]s, [[coin]]s, and item drops.
After the Elite Pestnut takes enough damage, the spikes fall out, revealing a [[Beanie]] or [[Gold Beanie]] underneath. However, if they're revealed from this form, they will float up to the surface, although it still gives out its usual item and coin drops. In the 3DS remake, the Beanie or Gold Beanie that is revealed from an Elite Pestnut will automatically drown and be defeated instead, since they are unable to battle underwater, but will still give Coins and sometimes items when defeated in this matter.


Elite Pestnuts also appear as enemies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are melee troopers, and attack by rolling into their opponents. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]] is Spin to Win, allowing them to roll into a minion three times. Due to their spikes, attacking a Pestnut from the side or from above cause damage to the minion. Elite Pestnuts are weak against [[Spear Guy]]s.
