'''Broque Monsieur''' is a block character in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' speaking English with a thick French accent and able to speak French itself. According to the Japanese official site, he is the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]'s leading block collector; he is also a collector of block-shaped kittens called [[Blitty|Blitties]]. Broque Monsieur owns a block-shaped dog named [[Broggy]], and manages a store where [[Bowser]] can shop at to get healing items. In the Japanese version of the game, he speaks clear English. (For instance, in a scene he says "Oh my dog! What's happen!"<ref>「オウ　マイ　ドッグ！／ワッツ　ハップ～～～ン！」</ref>)

==''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story==

He is first shown to be stuck on an island while Bowser walks past. He yells for Bowser's help, who only does it for a prize offered by Broque, the [[Vacuum Block]]. Broque tells Bowser to grab the rope and pull. At first, Bowser cannot pull the island any closer, but with the help of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] on the inside of his arms, he pulls the island back to the shore. Broque then fights Bowser to help him master the Vacuum Block technique.

He is shown in a battle against Bowser. He explains the "vacuum" command to Bowser. He fights by using items he gets out of [[Question Block|? Block]]s. Sometimes he uses a [[mushroom]] to recover 30 [[Heart Point|HP]] and sometimes he uses a [[Mega Mushroom]] and makes himself giant. To counter Broque's colossal attack, the player has to make Bowser punch Broque just as he's about to ram into him. Doing this will make Broque's body be knocked far away from the battle field. While Broque's body is trying to get to his head, Bowser can punch it for extra [[coin]]s. When being battled, he rotates his head to make himself look more fierce.

Much later in the game, after [[Dark Bowser]] casts his dark spell on the Mushroom Kingdom, he's shown in a bubble with several [[Toad (species)|Toads]].

Broque also runs [[Broque Monsieur and Broggy's Shop]] where he sells equipment for Bowser. He also has some shops around the Mushroom Kingdom in the shape of a block. He owns two different shops. One for armor, which is run by his Broggy, and one for items such as [[Syrup]]. Through the block-shaped shops called "Shop Blocks", Broque Monsieur can release "[[Negative Ions]]" to heal Bowser completely at the cost of 10 coins, much like the Emoglobin stand inside Bowser's body.

While Broque is amicable towards Bowser, he has a strong dislike of Mario because he considers Mario's habit of breaking blocks and lowering their "value" to be abhorrent. Because of this, Broque will refuse to sell items to the brothers and impolitely insist they leave his shop immediately and never come back, though he will immediately apologize for being rude. Additionally, the Mario Bros.' [[hammer]] is not strong enough to hit a Shop Block, thus eliminating the other method of shopping through Broque Monsieur.

If the [[player]] gives him 15 Blitties, he will allow Bowser to have Broggy so he can use the special move [[Broggy Bonker]].
