'''Snoozorbs''' are large robots that appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of the words 'snooze' and 'orb'. They appear in [[Shroob Castle]], and are usually found sleeping, but wake up and attack when the Mario Bros. approach. While curled up, they resemble [[Big Steely|Big Steelies]].

'''Snoozorbs''' are large robots that appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "snooze" and "orb". They appear in [[Shroob Castle]], and are usually found sleeping, but wake up and attack when the Mario Bros. approach. While curled up, they resemble [[metal ball]]s.


==Battle==
==Battle==
Snoozorbs start the battle [[Sleep|asleep]], and thus do not attack until waken by the Bros. [[First Strike]]s will not wake them up. Once they have taken damage during the battle, they will wake up. Snoozorbs revived by [[Soul Bubble]]s are brought back in their sleeping state.
[[File:Snoozorbawake.png|frame|left]]Snoozorbs start the battle [[Sleep|asleep]], and thus do not attack until waken by the Bros. They only have two attacks, and indicate both of them with steam pouring from their heads. If the steam comes out of its right, the Snoozorb will attack [[Mario]]; if the steam comes out of its left, it will target [[Luigi]].


Snoozorbs have two attacks they can perform. Both of them involve releasing steam to show who they will attack; if the steam travels to their right, [[Mario]] is the target. If it is to their left, they will attack [[Luigi]].
Snoozorbs can attack by changing into a ball and rolling into the Bros., which they must counter repeatedly with the [[hammer]]. They will not attempt this attack if the player does not have the [[Baby Mario|baby]] [[Baby Luigi|brothers]] with them, as only the babies have the hammers to counter it. Unlike most enemy attacks, successfully countering this does no damage to the Snoozorb.


*Snoozorbs gather up energy before firing a laser at the Bros. If the energy gathers in a straight path, the laser will be fired directly at Mario or Luigi. If the energy is gathered in a spiral formation, the beam will travel over them instead. If the latter action is performed, the attacking Snoozorb will fire an additional laser directly at Mario or Luigi. Sometimes the laser will be aimed to the other character during the attack. This attack is dodged by [[jump|jumping]].
Snoozorbs may also gather energy and fire a powerful laser. If the energy gathers straight towards the center, the laser will be fired directly at the Bros., who must [[jump]] to dodge; the laser may also be directed in a sweeping line to hit both Bros.. If the energy is gathered in a spiral, it will be shot over their heads, which will only hit the Bro. if they jump into it. As the Snoozorb takes more damage, it may fire multiple lasers in a single turn.
*Snoozorbs roll at Mario or Luigi and must be countered by using the [[hammer]]. After repelling the Snoozorb, it may continue to charge at the same character. After enough hits, the Snoozorb will return to their normal position in the battle. Snoozorbs do not take damage from countering them during the attack. Additionally, if [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] are not present, Snoozorbs will not perform this attack because of the inability to use hammers.
