- —Mega Snaptor, Mario & Luigi: Brothership
The Mega Snaptor is a boss who appears in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. These are larger Snaptors with a different crest, though their appearance is the same otherwise. They appear in both the intro cutscene after Mario wakes up on Conductor Island following his and Luigi's arrival to Concordia and on Lottacoins Island; in the latter scene, one is used by the Extension Corps to deal with Mario and Luigi.
Since it can fly, a Mega Snaptor cannot be hit by ground-based weaponry like the standard Hammer. The Mega Snaptor starts the battle by grabbing either Bro. with its talons (if it has a high-enough Speed), which requires the other Bro. to dodge rocks and springs that it drops. At the end of that attack, the Mega Snaptor will let go of the Bro. it has kidnapped, and the other Bro. must jump over him. It will also extend his neck to peck at one of Bros., which requires the targeted Bro. to counterattack with his hammer. Likewise, the Mega Snaptor will fire tornadoes that the Bros. must jump over to avoid taking damage. This eventually requires Luigi Logic to fix the water pipes by connecting them, which can be done by stopping the pipes at the right time. If successful, Luigi will need to pull the level to open the pipe so that the water will erupt, which stuns the Mega Snaptor for a short while, rendering it vulnerable to ground-based weaponry and giving it a defense drop until the stun wears off. The Mega Snaptor can also peck at either Bro. without extending its neck, an attack that Mario or Luigi must counter by using his hammer. A Mega Snaptor is of Level 16 with 1700 hit points, dropping 1450 Experience Points, 300 Coins, and a damage-reducing Battle Plug upon defeat.[1]
When the Mega Snaptor on Lottacoins Island is defeated, the Extension Corps prepare to escape, with one Snaptor carrying Ten and another carrying Shun. Ecks reveals to the Bros. and Snoutlet that the Extension Corps plan to work on mass production on Glohm, and the three manage to escape. No other Mega Snaptors appear in the game.
