'''Pi'illodium''' is a boss from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. It is the fourth robotic boss in the game. Making its appearance in [[Somnom Woods]], it acts as a defense system for the [[Pi'illo Temple]] and is an obstacle the Mario Bros. must unexpectedly face to use the [[Ultibed]] and proceed to the area of [[Dreamy Somnom Woods]] where the [[Zeekeeper]] dwells. Its name is a portmanteau of "Pi'illo" and "podium". Pi'illodium looks like a floating statue with wings that has a disk-shaped head, with red eyes that look angry in its normal form. Pi'illodium appears when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] attempt to place the Ultibed in the middle of the Pi'illo Temple, hammering down a button where it would go to do so. This sets off the alarm and causes the boss to attack.

In battle, Pi'illodium has two different forms. In its normal form, Pi'illodium floats in mid air and is immune to Mario and Luigi's hammer attacks. It's also much more aggressive in this state, attacking more often than it would in its other form. Attacking each wing enough will cause it to break, and when both wings are broken, the Pi'illodium drops to the ground enters a disabled form. In this state, Pi'illodium's expression becomes a frown and its battle speech sounds depressed. In addition, its attack and defense are lowered, and it is vulnerable to ground-based attacks. The Mini Pi'illoids in the background will heal Pi'illodium's wings each turn, each one healing 45 HP of either wing. A wing will remain disabled until all of its HP is restored, in which the Pi'illodium will reactivate once both of its wings are healed again. It may also release one Mini Pi'illoid from its insides at a time if there is less than four in the background.
'''Pi'illodium''' is a boss from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Making its appearance in [[Somnom Woods]], Pi'illodium acts as a defence system for the Pi'illo Temple and is an obstacle the Mario Bros. must unexpectedly face to proceed to [[Dreamy Somnom Woods]] and meet the [[Zeekeeper]]. Its name is a of pun on "Pi'llo" and "podium", a platform used to raise somthing.  


The Pi'illodium alternates between four basic attacks:
==Appearance==
Pi'illodium looks like a floating statue with wings and red eyes that look angry in its normal form. After its wings are defeated, its eyes turn blue and look sad.


* The Pi'illodium can shoot a series of lasers at Mario or Luigi. The Bros. have to watch where the laser paths are traced beforehand, then memorize the pattern and dodge the shots when it fires with jumps. The attack can inflict the [[DEF-Down]] status effect, and is also the only move it can use while disabled.
==History==
Pi'illodium first appears when Mario and Luigi attempt to place the [[Ultibed]] in the middle of the Pi'illo Temple, hammering down a strange screw like object to do so. This sets off the alarm and causes the boss to attack.
After the battle, Pi'illodium self destructs and isn't seen for the rest of the game.


* The Pi'illodium can transform its body into a hammer, floating up and out the top of the screen as a timer on the front of its body goes down and it flashes its eyes a certain color, signalling which Bro. it is about to attack (red for Mario and green for Luigi). When it reaches 0, the Pi'ilodium will come crashing down on the targeted Bro. If it hits its target, this may cause the [[Dizzy]] status. This attack can be countered by hammering the Pi'illodium as it is about to strike.
==Battle==
In battle, Pi'illodium has a wide variety of attacks, as well as two different forms it uses based on whether its wings have been disabled.
* The Pi'illodium may also fly into the background and smack one of its [[Mini Pi'illoid]]s at Mario and Luigi, who must smack it back with their hammers whenever it hits it back. After keeping up the rally for long enough, Pi'illodium will fail to smack it and it will explode right below it, sending it back to the foreground and causing it to take damage. If either Bro. is hit by the Mini Pi'illoid they may acquire the Dizzy status. The target for each of Pi'illodium's swing is implied by how the Mini Pi'illoid arcs towards them. This attack requires at least one Mini Pi'illoid to perform and always results in the chosen Mini Pi'illoid's death.


* The boss's last move involves it transforming into a jet and chasing the Bros. into the foreground, while firing missiles consecutively in a line; the Bros. have to jump over the missiles at the proper time or else they will take damage. On occasion, it will charge into either Mario or Luigi, and must be jumped over to avoid it. Jumping on Pi'illodium causes it to crash onto the ground, ending the attack.
In his normal form, Pi'illodium floats in mid air and is immune to Mario and Luigi's hammer attacks. It's also much more aggressive in this state, attacking more per attack than it would in its other form. It can attack by turning into a hammer, floating up off screen as a timer on the front of its body goes down, coming down on Mario or Luigi (depending on whether its eyes flashed red or green when it starts the attack) when it reaches 0. If hit, this may cause the dizzy status. Damage taken from this attack can be avoided if the targeted Bro. hammers Pi'illodium back the second he's about to get hit.


When near defeat, Pi'illodium initiates its self-destruct mechanism, exploding after a forty second countdown in real time. It will no longer be able to attack in this state, but failure to defeat the boss within the time limit will result in the Bros. receiving a devastating amount of damage, which is enough to result in a [[Game Over]] if they are under-leveled. The Bros. will still earn EXP and Coins if this happens, provided they survived the explosion.
It can also fly into the background and come charging after the Bros. while firing missiles consecutively in a line, the Bro. who Pi'illodium is in line with having to jump over the wave of missiles first shortly followed by the other Bro. On occasion, it will charge into the Bro. it's currently in line with, the targeted Bro. having to jump over Pi'illodium to avoid it. If the player times the Bro.'s jump right, the Bro. will land on Pi'illodium, causing it to crash onto the ground and end its attack.


Pi'illodium's battle is similar to the [[Queen Bean]] and the final [[Cackletta]] battles both in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.
Pi'illodium may also go into the background and smack one of its [[Mini Pi'illoid]]s at Mario and Luigi, who must smack it back with their hammers, making Pi'illodium smack it back at them. After keeping up the rally for long enough without either Bro. failing to return, Pi'illodium will fail to smack it and it will explode right below it, sending it back to the foreground and causing it to take damage. Failure for the Bros. to return it will result in the Bro. the Mini Pi'illoid hits taking damage and possibly acquiring the Dizzy status. The targeted Bro. for each swing is implied by how the Mini Pi'illoid arcs towards them.
{{br}}
 
If his wings are destroyed, it enters a second form. This one causes his expression to turn into a frown, its power and defence to be lowered and him to become vulnerable to hammers or ground based Bros Attacks. The Mini Pi'illoids in the background will then each turn heal Pi'illodium's wings, each one healing 45 HP of either. A wing will remain disabled until all of its HP is restored.
 
In both forms, Pi'illodium can shoot lasers at Mario or Luigi. The Bros. have to look at where the laser paths are traced beforehand, then memorize the pattern and dodge the shots when it fires. It may also release one Mini Pi'illoid from its insides at a time if there is less than four in the background.
 
When at low health, Pi'illodium will set off a 40 second self destruct timer. If Mario and Luigi can get rid of the last of its health by then, the battle will end like usual, but if they can't it'll explode and cause huge damage to anyone left standing on screen. 
 
Pi'illodium's battle is similar to the [[Queen Bean]] and the [[Cackletta|Cackletta's Soul]] battles both in ''[[Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Additionally, as it is available when initially fought, Pi'illodium may take critical damage from the [[Slingsniper]] if the player aim at the button of Pi'illodium.

Pi'illodium is also battled in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Battle Ring]], in the form of '''Pi'illodium X''', as part of the Class 7 battle. This version is red in colour instead of gold and has higher stats than the one fought in the main story.

==Trivia==
{{BoxTop}}
*In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', [[King Bob-omb]] uses the same sort of timer as Pi'illodium does, only that his timer starts at the beginning of the battle with a four-minute countdown that is extendable, and his explosion hits each Bro nine times instead of just once.
{{ML:DT}}
*Should the player use a [[Boo Biscuit]] or [[Badge|Guard Badge]] to make themselves immune to attacks just before Pi'illodium explodes, they would survive and win without taking any damage.
[[Category:Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bosses]]
*It is possible to defeat Pi'illodium before it can activate its self-destruct timer on certain occasions.
*If the player manages to take out Pi'illodium's wings while airborne and on the same turn it is supposed to self-destruct, the wing breaking overrides the self-destruct, preventing it from exploding and leaving it unable to attack.
