| '''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. | | '''Pi'illodium''' is a boss from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.

| 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 is 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.
| | ==Appearance== |
| | Pi'illodium looks like a floating statue with wings and angry eyes in its normal form. |
|
| |
|
| The Pi'illodium alternates between four basic attacks:
| | ==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 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.
| | ==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 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.
| | In his first form, Pi'illodium floats in mid air and is immune to Mario and Luigi's hammer attack. Here, he can either attack by turning into a hammer, going off screen and coming down on Mario or Luigi, charging after them while firing missiles or going into the background and shooting a ball of energy that they must deflect with their hammers. These attacks are more difficult to dodge than those used by his alternate form. |
|
| |
| * 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.
| | If his wings are destroyed, he enters a second form. This one causes his expression to turn into a frown, his power and defence to be lowered and him to become vulnerable to hammers or ground based Bros Attacks. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | In both forms, he can shoot lasers at Mario or Luigi. The Mario bros have to look at where the laser pointers are aiming beforehand, then memorise the pattern and dodge the shots when he fires. |
|
| |
|
| Pi'illodium's battle is similar to the [[Queen Bean]] and the final [[Cackletta]] battles both in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. | | When at low health, Pi'illodium will set off a 30 second self destruct timer. If Mario and Luigi can get rid of the last of his health by then the battle will end like usual, but if they can't he'll explode and cause huge damage to anyone left standing on screen. |

| ==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.
