Editing Bandit

One Bandit is a character in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. It appears in [[Pyramid Park]], in Solo Cruise mode only. It stole a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] from the [[Bowser Sphinx]], and the player's goal is to get the Star back from the Bandit with a [[Chain Chomp]] and return it to the Bowser Sphinx. There is also a [[Bandit Orb]] that is exclusive to the board [[Windmillville]]; whoever lands on a space it is applied to will have their money taken out of their windmill and given to the character who owns the space.

If the Bandit is looking at the background when it is momentarily visible while moving between smoke clouds, it will attack Mario; if it is looking at the foreground, it will attack Luigi. If a Bandit hits either Mario or Luigi with this attack, they will steal a maximum of 100 coins and could give the bros. the [[trip]] status effect. At the end of the attack, the Bandits will line up in the middle of the screen and show whether they got any coins or not. They will then all jump high into the air to shuffle themselves amongst each other before falling back into position, forcing the Bros. to guess which Bandit to target to get their coins back. A Bandit will [[flee]] on the next turn if carrying 100 coins unless the player defeats it to reclaim the coins. A Bandit carrying the coins will not burst immediately if defeated, instead entering a "taken damage" sprite a second after the attack while dropping the coins before it bursts. If a Bandit performs this attack, any Bandits who have not gone yet will lose their next turn.

Bandits may also attack individually by approaching a brother, pulling out a smoke bomb, and throwing it where they stand. The attacking Bandit will then either run out of the smoke in order to tackle the targeted brother, or will send out a cardboard Bandit on a string with a bomb tied behind it. Mario or Luigi must smack the real Bandit when it comes out; hitting the cardboard copy will result in the bomb exploding, damaging the target and possibly leaving them [[dizzy]].

Bandits also appear as a background enemy in [[Somnom Woods]] — however, in this appearance, they carry a [[Golden Egg]]. Due to running away when hit with a [[Taunt Ball]], they cannot be defeated, but they do drop the Golden Egg they are carrying, which can be brought into the battlefield if Mario or Luigi hit it with their hammers as it bounces by. If the Bros. take too long to destroy the egg, the Bandits will reclaim it.

Bandits appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they are enemies and recruitable allies found in ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]''. They are ranged troopers. They attack by throwing explosive cardboard Bandits, similar to the ones from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'' via their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]] Throw the Fight. Bandits are fast, but have low power.
