You know what I mean, right? Brzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Shocking! After it charges itself, it'll totally zap you with lightning. Beat it as fast as you can.

Not to be confused with Dark Ruff Puff.

The Dark Puff is a cloud enemy related to the Ruff Puff in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) Nintendo Switch remake. It is shaded gray like most enemies in Boggly Woods, and is often seen alongside Clefts and Pale Piranhas. In the Glitz Pit, a Dark Puff appears as one of the members of The Mind-Bogglers.

Though they are statistically rather weak, they can use a Lightning Charge attack, but it requires charging. A charged-up Dark Puff will hurt Mario if he jumps on it; if Mario has electrified himself, he can jump on said Dark Puff without taking damage.
