| | '''Drilldigger''' is the first giant boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Drilldigger was created when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] angered the [[Dream Stone Soul]]. After the Bros. angered him, he started pulling all kinds of drill-like objects found in [[Dream World]] towards him and transforms into Drilldigger. After this Luigi gets scared and tries hiding himself under his cap. This is when Luigi's cap starts glowing (in both the dream world and the real world). [[Dreambert]] then asks [[Starlow]] to touch Luigi's face. If Starlow touches Luigi's cap and holds, [[Luiginoid]]s start flying at [[Dreamy Luigi]] and he increases in size. After enough Luiginoids have merged with Dreamy Luigi, the screen tilts and the battle starts. |

| '''Robo-Drilldigger''' is a giant robot boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. It is the main boss of [[Dreamy Dozing Sands]], and the first giant battle in the game. Robo-Drilldigger is a giant mechanical robot, made entirely out of drills and cogs. It is primarily yellow, with green used in the body. Instead of hands, it has two red drills. Its name links it to the real world's [[Drilldigger]], which has cogs reminiscent of Robo-Drilldigger.
| | ==Appearance== |
| | | Drilldigger is a giant mechanical robot, made entirely out of drills and cogs. |
| ==History==
| |
| Robo-Drilldigger was formed out of many of the floating mechanical drills in Dreamy Dozing Sands by the [[Dream Stone's spirit]], who was annoyed by [[Mario]], [[Dreamy Luigi]], [[Prince Dreambert]], and the [[Luiginoid]]s repeatedly bothering it as they tried to get it to say where [[Dream Stone]] was. After the Dream Stone's spirit created Robo-Drilldigger, it attacked and knocked over the stacked Luiginoids, leaving the remainder of the group in danger. While Robo-Drilldigger continued to threaten the others, Mario and Dreambert notice that Dreamy Luigi is glowing. Dreambert tells [[Starlow]] to touch the L on [[Luigi]]'s cap, causing [[Dreamy Luigi]] to absorb many [[Luiginoid]]s and grow into [[Giant Luigi]]. When enough Luiginoids are absorbed, the player must turn the 3DS into a sideways position and start battling Robo-Drilldigger.
| |
| | |
| After the Bros. defeat the Robo-Drilldigger, the Dream Stone's spirit is so impressed by the intense battle that it tells Dreamy Luigi where the Dream Stone is. They make a point of only talking to Dreamy Luigi.

| ==Attacks== | | ==Attacks== |
| As the first giant boss in the game, Prince Dreambert explains the mechanics of Giant Battles to Dreamy Luigi.
| | Drilldigger first attacks by creating a tornado around him and shooting smaller tornadoes to the giant Luigi which can be jumped over. After doing this, he sends the tornado to the background. Drilldigger can then be knocked into the tornado with a hammer attack for extra damage. Drilldigger will then change its form into a mobile vehicle, with its drills sticking up to prevent Luigi from jumping on it. in this form he attacks by trying to ram Luigi, this can be countered with the hammer. Drilldigger can also change into a air form that can't be hit with the hammer, but instead has to be jumped on. In this form he fires 6 drills at Luigi, after which he tries to ram Luigi again, all of this can be countered with the hammer. After Luigi did enough damage to Drilldigger he shoots a giant laser at Luigi. The first time this attack is used it can't be countered, however, after the first time it can be countered by repeatedly swiping over the touch screen in the direction of the laser. After he has taken even more damage a short animation shows that he is damaged, after this he goes into a even bigger tornado in which he isn't visible at all, he also can change forms without the player noticing. When it is his turn to attack he breaks the tornado and attacks in whichever form he is at that moment. After he attacked he recreates the big tornado. |
| | |
| The battle starts with the jump tutorial. Afterward, Robo-Drilldigger attacks by spinning around to create a tornado, and sending out smaller tornadoes at [[Giant Luigi]]. These can be jumped over. Once complete, Robo-Drilldigger stops spinning and its tornado moves to the background. This prompts the tutorial for [[Hammer Chop]], a move that can knock the machine into the background and therefore into the tornado. The player needs at least a "Great" from the Hammer Chop to send it into the background tornado, and doing so inflicts additional damage. The tornado dissipates when Robo-Drilldigger performs a different attack, so there is only one turn to take advantage of the background tornado.
| |
| | |
| Robo-Drilldigger will then change its form into a mobile vehicle with its drills sticking up. Luigi cannot jump on Robo-Drilldigger in this state, forcing Luigi to hammer it instead or take damage. In this form Robo-Drilldigger. attacks by trying to ram Luigi, which can be countered with the hammer.
| |
| | |
| Robo-Drilldigger can also change into an aerial form that is too high to hit with the hammer, but can be jumped on. In this form it fires 6 drills at Luigi, then swoops down to ram Luigi. All of these are countered with the hammer.
| |
| | |
| After Luigi does enough damage to Robo-Drilldigger, it fires a giant energy ball at Luigi. The first time this attack is used, it cannot be countered. The damage prompts a tutorial about the [[Rhythm Mushroom]] move. After the first time, it can be countered by repeatedly tapping the Touch Screen to deflect the ball with Luigi's hammer back into Robo-Drilldigger. The unavoidable attack cannot KO Luigi. The Rhythm Mushroom tutorial does not use an attack turn and lets the player repeat it as many times as is desired. If the energy ball is not countered on repeat uses, it can KO Luigi. | |
| | |
| After Robo-Drilldigger has taken even more damage, a short animation shows that the machine is breaking slightly. | |
| | |
| Robo-Drilldigger gains the ability to hide in a tornado, such that it is not visible at all. It can also change forms rapidly while inside, while the player can only see the current position of Robo-Drilldigger's eyes as it flickers between one of three heights. The last visible height is the indicator of the form: lowest position means vehicle, middle position means standing, and highest position means flying. When it is Robo-Drilldigger's turn to attack, it breaks the tornado and attacks in its current form. After it attacks, Robo-Drilldigger always recreates the big tornado and repeats the process.
| |
| | |
| Once it is low on health, it switches back to the standing form but malfunctions and moves slowly. [[Finishing Bros.]] is used to defeat it, with the weak point being the chest.
| |
| | |
| ==Hard Mode differences==
| |
| In the [[Hard Mode]], Robo-Drilldigger sends two joined tornadoes instead of one at Luigi, making him have to jump at a much riskier time than before. It also fires several more drills than normal at Luigi, and possibly moves faster when trying to ram Luigi.
