'''Jojora''' is a mysterious fairy-like girl who makes her home in [[Joke's End]] during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Her name sounds similar to the Zelda boss Majora, though this may be a coincidence. She is just there because her friend's cousin's ancestor was the person who owned the place, which she explains to the Bros. when they meet her at the gates. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] have to fight her and [[Jojora's Friends|one of her friends]] during a chaotic tea party. She even seems to take delight in toying with the Bros. while in the palace.
After making it through the entire palace, the brothers find Jojora in her room, where she asks them to sit down. She tells them that she admires their perseverance, and soon asks which of four "friends" they would like to meet for tea. After the brothers select one, the chosen friend falls down from the ceiling and fights alongside Jojora against the brothers. However, the friend will always have the same stats and appearance no matter what the player chooses.

After the Bros. select one, the chosen friend falls down from the ceiling and fights alongside Jojora against the brothers. However, the friend will always have the same stats and appearance no matter which friend the player chooses.
Jojora has the highest defense in the whole game (999), and therefore most attacks will only inflict one [[Heart Point|HP]] damage. Despite her high defense, however, Jojora can indeed be defeated, though it is not necessary in order to finish the fight.


When Mario and Luigi battle her, they find that she has maximum defense. In fact, most attacks only do one [[Heart Point|HP]]'s worth of damage, as Jojora has the highest defense in the whole game. Despite her high defense, however, Jojora can indeed be defeated.
Offensively, she can wave her wand at them, causing them to freeze; if a [[hammer]] strike is executed when she approaches a brother, he can counter the attack and knock her wand out of her hands, causing her to run away crying "Eeek! Uncool, you creep!" while she leaves the battle to retrieve it. After a few turns, she will find her wand and return to battle. Additionally, whenever a brother damages her friend while she is still on-screen, she exclaims "You NEVER touch a lady without her permission!" and begins a snowstorm that can freeze both of the brothers (but which can be avoided by rapidly [[jump]]ing) and recovers the HP of both her and her friend; if Jojora is attacked directly, no side effects occur. Because of this, the brothers will have to time their attacks so the friend is only damaged while Jojora is off getting her wand and unable to begin a snowstorm.


Offensively, she can wave her wand at them, causing them to freeze; if a [[Hammer]] strike is executed when she walks up to a Bro., the brothers can counter the attack and knock it out of her hands causing her to run away, crying "Eeek! Uncool, you creep!", to retrieve it back. But this is short-lasting, as she will soon find her wand and return to battle. Also, whenever the Bros. damage her [[Jojora's Friends|friend]] while she is still on screen, she exclaims "You NEVER touch a lady without her permission!" and begins a snowstorm that can freeze both of the Bros. (which needs to be avoided by rapidly [[jump]]ing), and recover the two ladies' HP, but if she herself is attacked, no side effects occur. Because of this, the Bros. will have to time their attacks so her friend is only damaged while Jojora is off getting her wand and unable to begin a snowstorm.
After Jojora's friend is defeated, the friend melts away, causing Jojora to flee, upset, briefly returning to call the brothers "jerks" before leaving again. Jojora is never seen again for the rest of the game, implying she left the place.


After Jojora's friend is defeated, she runs away disappointed while her friend melts away, only briefly returning to angrily call the Bros. "jerks" before running off again and isn't seen again for the rest of the game.
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', her role is largely the same as in the original. While she no longer has an overwhelming defense stat nor level in-battle, she has ten times her original HP as a trade-off and also drops the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions#Revenge Jeans|Revenge Jeans]] when defeated.

Jojora, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Jojora is a mysterious fairy-like girl who lives in Joke's End during the events of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. She claims to be there because her friend's cousin's ancestor was the person who owned it originally, which she explains to the Mario Bros. when they meet her at the gates. Mario and Luigi have to fight her and one of her friends during a chaotic tea party. She seems to take delight in toying with the brothers while in the palace.

After making it through the entire palace, the brothers find Jojora in her room, where she asks them to sit down. She tells them that she admires their perseverance, and soon asks which of four "friends" they would like to meet for tea. After the brothers select one, the chosen friend falls down from the ceiling and fights alongside Jojora against the brothers. However, the friend will always have the same stats and appearance no matter what the player chooses.

Jojora has the highest defense in the whole game (999), and therefore most attacks will only inflict one HP damage. Despite her high defense, however, Jojora can indeed be defeated, though it is not necessary in order to finish the fight.

Offensively, she can wave her wand at them, causing them to freeze; if a hammer strike is executed when she approaches a brother, he can counter the attack and knock her wand out of her hands, causing her to run away crying "Eeek! Uncool, you creep!" while she leaves the battle to retrieve it. After a few turns, she will find her wand and return to battle. Additionally, whenever a brother damages her friend while she is still on-screen, she exclaims "You NEVER touch a lady without her permission!" and begins a snowstorm that can freeze both of the brothers (but which can be avoided by rapidly jumping) and recovers the HP of both her and her friend; if Jojora is attacked directly, no side effects occur. Because of this, the brothers will have to time their attacks so the friend is only damaged while Jojora is off getting her wand and unable to begin a snowstorm.

After Jojora's friend is defeated, the friend melts away, causing Jojora to flee, upset, briefly returning to call the brothers "jerks" before leaving again. Jojora is never seen again for the rest of the game, implying she left the place.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, her role is largely the same as in the original. While she no longer has an overwhelming defense stat nor level in-battle, she has ten times her original HP as a trade-off and also drops the Revenge Jeans when defeated.

Trivia[edit]

  • Jojora is one of two bosses in the game (the other being Popple, save for his solo battle) who flee after their partner is defeated, and thus are not required to be defeated.
  • If she is defeated with the advanced Bounce Bros. (provided her friend is the targeted enemy and therefore the first one to be hit), Jojora will still somehow berate the Mario brothers for hurting her friend even though she shouldn't be able to. Following that, Jojora's friend will be healed like at the end of Jojora's counterattack even though it never took place.
  • Jojora's actions after her friend is defeated (where she cries and runs off, only to briefly return and yell "jerks" to the Mario Bros. before fleeing again) is similar to the reaction of a Toad at Toadtown Square if Mario does not give him back a Mushroom that was atop a bush upon retrieving it.
