The '''Yoofoe''' is a miniboss-like enemy making its debut in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]] .'' Its name is a pun on the words "UFO" and "Foe".
The '''Yoofoe''',<ref>Walsh, Doug, and Epstein, Joe. ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Prima Official Guide. Page 347.</ref> also spelled '''Yoo-foe''',<ref>Walsh, Doug, and Epstein, Joe (2017). ''Super Mario Odyssey: [[Prima Games|Prima]] Collector's Edition Guide'', page 233.</ref> is a miniboss-like enemy that debuts in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Its name is a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of "UFO" and "foe".
==Description==
The Yoofoe resembles a flying saucer [[UFO]] and a top hat. It has a purple [[Ground Pound]] symbol on its head followed by an inward facing black ring along the midsection of the enemy with a menacing red eye in the front of that black ring. The bottom section consists of a silver-colored dome-like structure. This enemy makes three appearances in the game: one in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], another in [[Bowser's Kingdom]] and the last in the [[Darker Side]]. Upon defeat, a short cutscene plays with the Yoofoe spinning out of control and exploding. [[Mario]] is then rewarded one [[Power Moon]], with the exception being the Darker Side in which a [[Life-Up Heart]] is rewarded instead. The Yoofoe is an alien invader, as suggested by the titles of the Power Moons received from it ("[[List of Power Moons in the Wooded Kingdom#Invader in the Sky Garden|Invader in the Sky Garden]]" and "[[List of Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom#Invader in Bowser's Castle|Invader in Bowser's Castle]]").

The bottom section consists of a silver-colored dome-like structure. This enemy makes three appearances in the game; one in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], another in [[Bowser's Kingdom]] and the last in the [[Darker Side]]. Each time it is defeated [[Mario]] will be rewarded one [[Power Moon]], with the exception being the Darker Side in which a [[Life-Up Heart]] is rewarded instead.

Initially, upon noticing Mario, the Yoofoe makes a piston noise and then shoots out five [[Goomba]]s from its bottom. After this, it emits a red circular laser followed by two short razor bars. It then moves about the stage while rotating these bars. As it moves, it shoots out one small [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]] followed by one Goomba. It repeats this pattern until Mario jumps on it from above. After getting hit once, it knocks Mario off its head and makes all the previously spawned Goombas disappear. It then expels a much larger red circular laser followed by four long razor bars instead of two short ones. It continues its previous pattern at this point, though every time it releases a Goomba, it spins its razor bars rapidly, thus Mario can only jump on the Yoofoe when it is not spinning.


==Tactics==
If there are eight Goombas that have been spawned by the Yoofoe out at once, no more are spawned, and if all eight Goombas are made into a [[Goomba Tower]], the Yoofoe stops dropping [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]]s.  
Initially, upon noticing Mario, the Yoofoe will make a piston noise followed with it shooting out five [[Goombas]] from the silver colored dome-like rear. After this, it will emit a red circular laser followed by two short razor bars. It will then move about the stage whilst rotating these bars. It will shoot one small [[Spiked Ball]] followed by one Goomba. It will repeat this pattern until Mario either climbs to a higher elevation to ground pound it or Mario uses the Goombas the Yoofoe expels to make a [[Goomba Tower]] and then ground pound it.

As shown in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], the player can alternatively capture an [[Uproot]] to hit the Yoofoe.


After getting hit once, it will electrocute itself thus knocking Mario off its head and making all the previously spawned Goombas disappear. It will now expel a much larger red circular laser followed by four long razor bars instead of two short ones. It will continue the same pattern as it did previously with Goombas and Spiked Balls however this time after each time it releases a Goomba it will spin its four long razor bars rapidly. Thus Mario can only Ground Pound the Yoofoe when it's not spinning.  
As shown in [[Bowser's Kingdom]], the Yoofoe can get hit on the top by [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seeds]] thrown by Mario.

Upon defeat, a short cutscene will play with the Yoofoe spinning out of control and then exploding into a Power Moon.
==Trivia==
*In the encounter in the Wooded Kingdom, the music changes to the variation heard when fighting the cannon in the objective "[[Path to the Secret Flower Field]]".

==References==
* All of the Power Moons received from defeating the Yoofoe are titled "Invader in (area)" implying that the Yoofoe is indeed an alien invader.
