Palookas are punching bag-like enemies in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Their name comes from same word meaning "an inferior or average prizefighter". Palookas are found on Skorcheen Island, where they hop around and charge up to punch Mario and Luigi if they are near. Palookas are red punching bags with yellow, angry eyes and boxing gloves.
In Fortress Zokket, stronger versions of Palookas, known as Palooka Rs are found. Later on in the game, normal Palookas become infected with Glohm, becoming Glohm Palookas.
Battle
In battle, Palookas have two attacks:
- They jump near Mario or Luigi and charge up an uppercut. The attacking Palooka must be counterattacked several times with the hammer to stop it from attacking. The amount of counters needed varies. After enough counters or if the Palooka is defeated, the attack ends.
- Palookas can also guard themselves before jumping to a character. If they are countered while guarding, they take zero damage. They will eventually drop their guard to punch Mario or Luigi. The Palooka must be countered with the hammer after they lose their guard and before they punch. This attack is similar to the attack that the POW Pep uses.
