| '''Torkscrew''' is a screw-like boss from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. While searching for the Deco [[Pi'illo]]s, Torkscrew eats one of them, leading [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to chase it with the [[Drilldigger]]. After hitting Torkscrew with the drills five times, it spits out the Pi'illo. Later, it swallows [[Britta]] while she is searching for treasure, at which point Mario and Luigi battle it.
| | ==Appearance== |
| | Torkscrew is a red creature with claws and foot claws. He also has a yellow screw on his head and sharp teeth in his mouth. |

| ==Battle== | | ==Battle== |
| Torkscrew can attack by digging into the ground, shooting out of the sand and while in mid-air, spinning to a point above either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], where it will then drop down on the Bro. it spun towards head-first. If they successfully hammer it away, it will land on its backside and be vulnerable to jump attacks and take more damage from attacks in general. The attack resembles the [[Splash Bros.]] [[Bros. Attack|move]] used by Mario and Luigi in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. | | Torkscrew attacks by digging in the ground and chasing [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. He can jump up, propel himself into the air by spinning like a top, and finally dives head first onto one of the bros. If they successfully hammer him away, he will land on his backside and be vulnerable to jump attacks. He can also dig under to stab a bro from underneath. If they dodge, they will either dodge completely or get stuck comically on his drill top, at which point the other bro must chase and attempt to collect the dropped coins and avoiding the mines. He may also chase one brother, usually Mario, into the background. Luigi, on the other hand, must avoid the sneaky monsters in the foreground as Mario is attacked by Torkscrew, who attempts to drill into him, while Mario dodges/counters by jumping. |

| It may also dive underground to have his drill pop out of the sand and slowly submerge again as it approaches a Bro. The Bro. it approaches must then jump once Torkscrew entirely disappears to avoid it when it abruptly pops out of the sand. If Mario and Luigi dodge successfully, they will avoid getting stuck on Torkscrew's drill top. If a Bro. gets stuck, Torkscrew will initiate a chase sequence as the stuck Bro. loses coins. The other Bro. must chase Torkscrew and attempt to collect these fallen coins while avoiding the mines it drops until the Bro. falls off.
| | Torkscrew X, who is purple rather than red, can be fought in the Battle Ring. |

|
| Torkscrew may also chase Mario into the background in an attempt to attack him through charging attacks while half-submerged. While doing so, Luigi is attacked by the [[Flounderflage|various]] [[Sandoon|enemies]] who inhabit Dozing Sands. The Bros. must avoid these attacks by jumping over or on to their respective attackers. This attack can still occur even with Luigi knocked out, as there is just a lack of action in the foreground. Torkscrew's drill attacks can inflict the [[DEF-Down]] status effect. Much later in the game [[Torkscrew X]] can be fought in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Battle Ring]].
