'''Iron Clefts''' are a powerful type of [[Cleft]] first seen in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. The only known Iron Clefts are the two members of [[The Iron Adonis Twins]] team in the [[Glitz Pit]]. They are large blue Clefts made of impenetrable metal. Because their defense is considered to be unknown, no attacks will do any damage to them, even moves that bypass defense and if a character executes a perfectly timed [[Superguard]]. [[Yoshi Kid|Yoshi]]'s [[Gulp]] provides the only known source of damaging these Iron Clefts, as it involves hitting one of the Iron Clefts with the other.

==Trivia==
*Despite Goombella's tattle mentioning the only way to damage the Iron Clefts is to whack them into each other, neither the Super Hammer nor the Ultra Hammer moves are able to damage them, despite both moves being capable of hitting enemies into each other.
