A '''Handfake''' is a creature shaped as a hand but made of black ooze. Its name is a pun on "handshake." They live on [[Star Hill]] and the [[Star Shrine]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. In battle, a Handfake holds signs with pictures of various enemies on them ([[Goomba]], [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]], [[Bob-omb]], and [[Bowser]]). The enemy picture on the sign determines how the Handfake will attack. These signs can be destroyed, causing the Handfake to bring a different sign into battle. The signs are all based on character artwork from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

===Paratroopa===
===Paratroopa===
When the Handfake holds a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] sign, it attacks by hitting a Mario Bro. with the sign. Before attacking, however, the Handfake twirls the Paratroopa sign a number of times. The number of twirls equals the number of times the Handfake will pull back the sign before attacking. After it pulls back the appropriate number of times, the Mario Bro. must jump to avoid or counter the Handfake's attack.

===Bob-omb===
===Bob-omb===
If the Handfake holds up a [[Bob-omb]] sign, it throws the sign high. If the sign is right side up when falling, the Bob-omb sign will fall on top of [[Mario]]. If the sign is upside-down, it will fall on [[Luigi]]. The Bob-omb sign can be deflected with a [[Hammer]]. However, after hit, the sign can fall again, possibly changing targets. Thus, the Baby Bros. may have to block the sign multiple times. If the Bob-omb sign hits a Mario Bro., the sign explodes, causing damage and possibly [[Dizzy|dizziness]].

===Bowser===
===Bowser===
When a Handfake holds up the [[Bowser]] sign, it can summon either a [[Boo]] or a [[Fly Guy]] carrying a cardboard flame cut-out on a string. The Boo or Fly Guy then hits one of the Mario Bros. with the "flame". The Mario brothers can jump to avoid this attack. A Boo means Mario is being attacked, and a Fly Guy means Luigi is being attacked; sometimes, they float in front of the opposite brother and switch right before attacking.
