| '''Mammoshka''' is a boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Found near the top of [[Mount Pajamaja]], this mammoth-like creature acts as a guardian for the mountain, and it is battled by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in their journey to the mountain's summit. Its name is a pun on "[[Wikipedia:Mammoth|mammoth]]" and "mamushka" (an alternate, erroneous name for [[Wikipedia:Matryoshka doll|Matryoshka]] dolls), both of which form its basis.

| Mammoshka appears to be a mammoth-like creature with a body made out of bricks and a white "X" on the top of its head, indicating its weakness to jump attacks. Its eyes change color depending on the boss's mood; for example, its eyes turn red when it is angry. | | Mammoshka is a boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.

| | ==Appearance== |
| | Mammoshka appears to be a mammoth like creature inside an igloo like armored shell. |

| ==History== | | ==History== |
| Mammoshka first appears when Mario, Luigi, [[Big Massif]] and [[Lil' Massif]] reach a point near the pinnacle of [[Mount Pajamaja]], where it is found sleeping. Big Massif and Lil' Massif both manage to creep around Mammoshka without waking it up, leaving Mario and Luigi to try doing the same. While they tried doing so, Luigi ended up sneezing and woke up Mammoshka, forcing Mario and Luigi to battle it while Big Massif and Lil' Massif fled to the area ahead. A more powerful variant of Mammoshka called [[Mammoshka X]] is fought in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Battle Ring]].
| | As Mario and Luigi were climbing the summit, a single Pi'illo rescued on the mountain talked of a "guardian" found in the region that would prevent intruders from reaching the top. After that though, the Mario Bros. didn't see or hear any sign of Mammoshka until they reached an area near the top of the mountain where they found it sleeping. |
| | |
| ==Battle==
| |
| In battle, Mammoshka can attack by shoving a giant snowball at either Mario or Luigi, who have to hit it to the other brother. After each brother hits the snowball at least once with the [[Hammer]], the snowball disappears. If a brother gets hit by it however, he is caught on the snowball (with the brother who did not get hit freaking out over this) and sent rolling off-screen inside it, where the player needs to press either {{button|3ds|A}} or {{button|3ds|B}} depending on which brother it is with the right timing to [[jump]] and break free properly. Taking too long results in Mammoshka ramming the snowball into a nearby pit with the brother in it, damaging him. The player can tell who Mammoshka will attack if it hits him (no damage dealt) or not. If it does hit, it attacks Luigi, whereas if it does not, it attacks Mario.
| |
|
| |
|
| Mammoshka can also go into the background and ram the cliff-side to summon an enormous rock, which it throws towards Mario and Luigi. The brothers must simultaneously hammer the rock as it falls towards them, knocking it back into the air; if only one brother hits the rock, it will fall on the other brother and damage him. After several hits, the rock will fly back at Mammoshka, damaging it (or breaking off its helmet if it had one). If the Mario Bros. get hit with the rock they will take large damage and may get [[dizzy]]. The brothers do not have to swing their hammers at the exact same time; one of them can swing his hammer a quarter of a second after the other does.
| | With the guardian in sight, the Massif Bros managed to sneak around it, leaving the Mario Bros. to do the same. Unfortunately, Luigi just happened to sneeze at the wrong time, waking up Mammoshka and forcing the Bros. to defeat it in battle. |
|
| |
|
| Mammoshka can also chase Luigi off-screen, warping around to appear from the right side in line with Mario. If Mario jumps over Luigi, they both run away but avoid taking damage; if he fails to dodge, they will both get trampled by Mammoshka. If Mario jumps right on top of Luigi, Luigi gives Mario a boost into the air. Mario lands on Mammoshka and damages it. | | After it was defeated, Mammoshka was never seen again in the storyline. |
|
| |
|
| Another of Mammoshka's attacks is to chase Mario and Luigi down the mountain, trying to suck them into its trunk while gradually moving side-to-side. If Mario and Luigi dodge its attacks, it eventually ends the chase, but if one brother is sucked in, he instantly takes a large amount of damage and possibly receives the [[POW-Down]] status; Mammoshka will then shoot the brother out towards the one remaining, who has to then jump over him as he flies down the screen. If the other brother lands on the trapped brother during this shot, the trapped brother takes additional damage. Mammoshka may perform a fake-out with this shot; the real attack comes when the trapped brother's head and arms are visible on the end of Mammoshka's trunk, and the fake-out occurs when only the trapped brother's legs are visible.
| | ==Battle== |
| | | In battle, Mammoshka has quite a few different attacks to use, as well as unique battle ending animation afterwards. Its first attack is to shove a giant snowball at either Mario or Luigi, who have to hit it to the other character. After a few hits with the hammer (with the snowball gradually getting smaller) it'll be launched back at Mammoshka, but if a character gets hit by it, they'll then be caught on the snowball and sent flying off screen, where they need to press either A or B to jump and break free. |
| During the battle, some [[Block Monolift]]s may appear to aid Mammoshka. These enemies carry different helmets inside blocks of ice on their heads, and if they are not defeated within one round, they give Mammoshka a helmet, a spiked helmet, or a pail to protect it from Mario and Luigi's jump-based attacks, its weakness. The headwear can be destroyed by jumping on it or by countering its rock or Luigi-chase attacks, although if it is the spike helmet, only the rock attack or the use of the [[Dropchopper]] can destroy it.
| |
| | |
| When Mammoshka's health is low, its armor starts to crack, revealing a smaller, pale blue-colored version of itself underneath. Mario and Luigi then chase the boss as it flees down the mountain, jumping on its head to continue breaking its armor. With proper timing ("A" for Mario, "B" for Luigi), Mammoshka's outer shell gradually shrinks to nothing, revealing its true form, a small, pink fur-covered mammoth. After one last jump to its head from Mario or Luigi at this point, Mammoshka is defeated.
| |
| | |
| If the player fails to jump on Mammoshka during the final section of the battle twice, it will jump into another outer shell and resume the battle. However, it will not restore any health after doing this, so one more hit will break its shell again. Additionally, the Bros. do not need to stomp Mammoshka as many times.

| | Mammoshka can also chase Mario or Luigi towards the other character. If they jump over the other Bro. they'll avoid taking damage, if they hit them they'll both get trampled by Mammoshka. |

| | Another attack it has is to chase Mario and Luigi down the mountain, trying to suck them into its trunk. If Mario and Luigi dodge its attacks, it'll eventually end the chase, but if one brother is sucked in, it'll then be shot out towards the one remaining, who has to then jump over them as they fly down the screen. |

| ==Trivia==
| | Part way through the battle, some [[Monolift]]s that aid Mammoshka appear. These enemies seem to be carrying helmet like objects inside blocks on their heads, and if they're not defeated, will give Mammoshka a spiked helmet to protect it from Mario and Luigi's jump based attacks. |
| *This is the only boss in the real world that would later be rematched in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Battle Ring]] before whose battle [[Luigi]] freaks out rather than striking his fighting pose.
| |
| *The encounter with Mammoshka is similar to the one with [[Trunkle]] - they are seen asleep at some point, they are in a similarly shaped room, Big Massif and Little Massif at the other end of the room resemble the also similar looking [[Toad (species)|Toads]] on the other side of the room, both of them attack Mario and Luigi upon sight after waking up, and Trunkle's desert themed environment parallels Mammoshka's ice themed one.

| | Finally, at the end of the battle, Mammoshka's armor will start to crack, revealing a smaller version of it underneath. Mario and Luigi then chase it down the mountain (jumping on it multiple times as they go to break its armor into smaller and smaller pieces), until eventually the "true" form of the creature is revealed. After one last jump to its head from Mario or Luigi, Mammoshka is defeated for good. |
