'''Pipegunk''' is a boss who appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. It is a glob of toxic goo who is unleashed by [[Shun]] to prevent [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] from stopping the [[Zok Troops]]' plans to take over [[Concordia]] with [[Glohm]]. Pipegunk has four pipes in its body: two on top of the creature's head (which it can use as cannons in its powered-up forms) and two at its sides. The creature's name is compounded from "pipe" and "gunk".
'''Pipegunk''' is a boss who appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. It is a glob of toxic goo who is unleashed by [[Shun]] to prevent [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] from stopping the [[Zok Troops]]' plans to take over [[Concordia]] with [[Glohm]]. His name is compounded from "pipe" and "gunk".


==Battle==
==Battle==
At the start of the battle, Pipegunk attacks by charging into one of the Mario Bros., which the targeted Bro. must counter with a [[hammer]]. Pipegunk can also fire bouncy poison balls at the Bros., so the targeted Bro. must jump on them with good timing to pop them. Pipegunk will then transform into a large poison ball, which the Bros. must counterattack with a jump.

Pipegunk can also fire poison balls at the Bros., so the targeted Bro. must jump on one to pop it. Pipegunk will also transform into a poison ball, which the Bros. must counterattack with a jump.


When its HP gets dropped in a quarter, Shun will appear in the background of the stage and use his remote control to rotate the stage into the Magma Area, which changes Pipegunk's appearance to resemble magma and gives it a significant defense boost, then jumps off-screen for a number of turns. While in the Magma Area, Pipegunk can restore a little HP each turn and attacks the Bros. with an array of different fireball attacks. It can shoot balls of hot lava at the Bros, who must jump to avoid getting damage or burned. The lava creates a molten puddle under each Bro., so Mario and Luigi must continuously jump to avoid taking damage. Pipegunk can also shoot volleys of fireballs at the Bros., which Mario and Luigi must avoid by jumping over them. Pipegunk may also move behind the Bros. for an attack that launches several fireballs into the air, which the Bros. must counter with hammer strikes as they fall down; Pipegunk may occasionally shoot a [[Mushroom]] in place of a fireball.
When its HP gets dropped in a quarter, Shun will use the remote control to rotate the stage into the Magma Area, an action that changes Pipegunk's toxic body into lava. In this form, Pipegunk can summon a heat wave that restores a little HP and shoot balls of fiery energy at the Bros. However, if the Bros. dodge the energy balls, the latter will create a molten puddle that will hurt the former, so Mario and Luigi must jump to avoid taking damage. Pipegunk can also shoot fireballs at the Bros., which Mario and Luigi must avoid by jumping over them or knocking them back at it. Luigi can eventually use [[Luigi Logic]] to defeat Shun by moving him to the edge of the stage and steal the remote away from him. Luigi can rotate the stage at any direction; however, if Luigi rotates the stage to the Ice Area when Pipegunk is in its fiery form, an icy wind will damage it by 300 HP and revert it back to normal.


When Shun reappears, Luigi can engage in a tug of war with him through [[Luigi Logic]] to steal the remote; if successful, he throws Shun into the lava and incapacitates him. If Luigi chooses to move from the Magma Area immediately into the Ice Area, Pipegunk takes 300 HP of damage (600 HP for [[Glohm Pipegunk]]) and becomes stunned and vulnerable to critical attacks. If Luigi chooses to move the stage from the Magma Area into the Normal Area, Pipegunk returns to its regular form and its defense returns to normal; when Shun gets back up, he shouts angrily and immediately switches the stage into the Ice Arena, buffing Pipegunk before he jumps off-screen again. Shun will continue to alternate the stage between the two areas (while pausing in the Normal Area to allow Pipegunk to acclimate) until Pipegunk is defeated. If Luigi selected the Normal Area once and then incapacitates Shun a second time, [[Snoutlet]] will suggest swapping to the opposite side while Shun exclaims not to make sudden temperature changes as Pipegunk is "delicate", hinting to swap between the Magma and Ice Areas.
Eventually, Pipegunk's toxic body will be frozen all over by chilled air. In this form, Pipegunk can cover the screen in frost that obscures it, requiring the Bros. to counterattack it in careful timing. An icy wind can also restore a bit of its HP. Likewise, Pipegunk can shoot icicles at the Bros., which Mario and Luigi must jump over or knocking back at it to avoid taking damage. Like before, Luigi can use Luigi Logic later on to defeat Shun my moving him to the edge of the stage and steal the remote away from him. If Luigi rotates the stage to the Magma Area when Pipegunk is in its icy form, a heat wave will damage it and revert it back to normal. Defeating Pipegunk rewards the Pipegunk Boots for the Bros. and some [[Sprite Bulb]]s for [[Snoutlet]].


When exposed to the Ice Area, Pipegunk's body freezes over and becomes a large, spiky block of ice. Pipegunk can restore a little HP each turn similarly as before and has a slightly different attack pattern. In this form, Pipegunk can cover the screen in frost that obscures it, requiring the Bros. to counterattack it in careful timing as it slowly moves towards one of them. Pipegunk can also launch volleys of fast thin icicles and slow spiky chunks of ice, which the Bros. must jump to avoid. Like before, Pipegunk can move behind the Bros. and shoot large chunks of ice at them which they must counter with hammer strikes; the ice falls down more slowly than the fireballs do and may also occasionally be replaced by a Mushroom. Luigi can use Luigi Logic again to obtain the remote from Shun. Similarly as before, moving the arena directly from the Ice Area to the Magma Area will deal damage it for 300 HP (600 HP for [[Glohm Pipegunk]]) and make it prone to critical attacks. If the arena moves from the Ice Area to the Normal Area, Pipegunk returns to normal. Defeating Pipegunk rewards the Pipegunk Boots for the Bros. and [[Sprite Bulb]]s for [[Snoutlet]] to collect.
Eventually, a stronger and Glohmy form of Pipegunk, [[Glohm Pipegunk]], can be fought.
