Members of the Dojo (from left to right): Chan, The Master, Lee.

Lee is a Duplighost and a student at the Toad Town Dojo. He trains under the Master with the Buzzy Beetle Chan. Lee is the Master’s most advanced student and acts like an older brother to the Chan, the weakest student. Lee also has deep respect for the Master, but does not worship him like Chan does. Although he is the Master’s most advanced student, Mario did not have a difficult time defeating the Duplighost and earning the Second-Degree Card.

Since Lee is a Duplighost, he has the ability to transform into Mario’s partner. Using this ability, Lee acquires the appearance, skills, and (to a certain degree) offensive and defensive capabilities of the copied party member. However, this technique is actually his biggest disadvantage. In fact, Lee has a higher attack in his normal form than in any copied form. Additionally, he will only assume the form of Mario’s current companion. That means that Mario can exploit the weaknesses of his companions after Lee has copied him or her. For example, if Lee copies Goombario, the Duplighost will occasionally use the Tattle ability, which does not damage Mario and does not help Lee in any way.

Note: Lee will attack as many times as Mario’s partner would attack if he or she used the action command, meaning Mario needs to defend that many times. For example, if Lee copies Goombario, the Duplighost will attack twice when using the skill Headbonk because Goombario attacks twice with Headbonk when he uses the action command.
