'''Pestnuts''' are round plant-like enemies that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. They are found rolling on the ground in [[Chucklehuck Woods]], and they often camouflage themselves as brown [[Chuckola Fruit]] to drop from their trees and attack anyone walking nearby. Pestnuts appear as round and orange chestnut-like creatures with green spikes. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', they are more circular, the spikes are thicker, and the placement of the spikes are similar to an [[Urchin]], particularly the six spikes around the face. The Chuckola Fruit they camouflage as in the world are now bright orange with yellow "teeth".

'''Pestnuts''' are round plant-like enemies found at [[Chucklehuck Woods]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They camouflage themselves as brown [[Chuckola Fruit]] before dropping from their trees and attacking anyone who walks under them, though they can also be found rolling around on the ground. Pestnuts are covered in green spikes, making them impossible to [[Jump|jump]] on unless one of the "Spiny-Killer Jump" [[Badge|badge]]s are worn. They attack by rolling into their target from the front or from behind. The former can be countered with Mario or Luigi's hammer, whereas the latter can be dodged by jumping. After the Pestnut takes enough damage, its spikes fall out, revealing either a [[Beanie (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Beanie]] or [[Gold Beanie]] underneath. It will then continue to fight as a Beanie.


A stronger variety of Pestnuts called [[Elite Pestnut]]s appear in the [[Seabed]].

==Battle==
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', they are more circular, the spikes are thicker, and the placement of the spikes invokes that of an [[Urchin]], particularly the six spikes around the face. The Chuckola Fruit they camouflage as is now bright orange with yellow "teeth." Pestnuts also appear as enemies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are melee troopers, and attack by rolling into their opponents. Their special skill in Spin to Win, allowing them to roll into a minion three times. Due to their spikes, attacking a Pestnut from the side or from above cause damage to the minion. Pestnuts are weak against [[Spear Guy]]s.
Pestnuts attack by rolling into their target from the front or from behind. The former can be countered with [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]'s [[hammer]], whereas the latter can be dodged by jumping. The Pestnut's spikes make them impossible to [[jump]] on unless Mario or Luigi wear one of the "Spiny-Killer Jump" [[badge]]s; in the original game, jumping on Pestnuts to counter-attack will still damage the Bros. even if they are wearing one. After the Pestnut takes enough damage, its outer shell will break, revealing either a [[Beanie]] or [[Gold Beanie]] underneath, which will then continue to fight.
 
Pestnuts also appear as enemies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are melee troopers, and attack by rolling into their opponents. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]] is Spin to Win, allowing them to roll into a minion three times. Due to their spikes, attacking a Pestnut from the side or above causes damage to the minion. Pestnuts are weak against [[Spear Guy]]s. A group of Pestnuts appears as part of [[Private Goomp]]'s squad of [[Goomba]]s in Chucklehuck Woods, suggesting a relation.
