Editing Mechawful

'''Mechawfuls''' are robots based on [[Fawful]], first appearing in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and later in the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', Mechawfuls are found in [[Peach's Castle Garden]]. They can attack by landing in front of one of the Mario Bros. or Bowser and attempt to hit them with its fist. The player must [[hammer]] or [[Punch]] the Mechawful 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.

An alternate attack used by the Mechawful is to fly straight up and out of the screen, landing directly on the player from above. The Bros. can knock this attack away with the hammer, with a dust cloud signifying what Bro. is being targeted. Bowser must hold down his [[Shell defense]] until the Mechawful becomes exhausted and falls onto the floor.

When defeated, the '''Mechawful Head'''<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=September 14, 2009|page=167|isbn=978-0-307-46565-8}}</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. As the Bros, the head attacks by flying over one of the Bros. and falling straight down, which can be countered with the hammer. 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.

 

 

In the remake, the Mechawful's roulette light attack is removed, and replaced with an attack that involves a shield. The Mechawful will generate a shield which must be punched (or hammered) four times to break, then they can attack the Mechawful to push it back. They also no longer try to land on Mario and Luigi in the overworld.

Mechawfuls, renamed '''Mecha-Fawfuls''', appear in the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they are shown as the ones responsible for the initial destruction of [[Beanbean Castle Town]], and later appear as enemies in the final story level [[Believe in Bowser]]. Unlike the Mechawfuls of ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', these Mecha-Fawfuls have a patchwork-like design and crooked antennae. There is no generic type of Mecha-Fawful, with them instead coming in three variants:

*Mecha-Fawful Y, which is a Mechawful head with arms akin to Dark Mechawful heads

*'''Mecha-Fawful Z:''' ''Mass-produced robots that serve Fawful. They fire powerful beams from their chests.''
