'''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".

==Battle==
==Battle==
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.
