Bumbleshoot
A Bumbleshoot in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
First appearance	Mario & Luigi: Brothership (2024)
Variants Parashoot Glohm Bumbleshoot

Bumbleshoots are floating plant-like enemies in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are encountered on Twistee Island, where they swoop down at Mario and Luigi if they are near. Bumbleshoots have alternating petals of dark blue and cyan and they have four spinning leaves on top of them.

Red variants of Bumbleshoots, known as Parashoots, appear on Raynforst Island. Later on in the game, Bumbleshoots become infected with Glohm, becoming Glohm Bumbleshoots. After Reclusa reawakens, Glohm Bumbleshoots get even stronger.

Battle

Bumbleshoots float above the ground during battle, so some attacks will miss them. They have two attacks, both are avoided by jumping:

• Bumbleshoots can zip around Mario or Luigi before flying towards their location. If their final position is to the right of their target, they fly directly at them. If Bumbleshoots appear at the left before charging, they will fly over Mario or Luigi. Bumbleshoots can be counterattacked during both variants of this attack.
• They can swoop down at a brother from above. No matter which direction they come from, Bumbleshoots always fly directly above their target, but can be counterattacked.
