'''Moon Clefts''' are very powerful sub-species of [[Cleft]]s found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', during Chapter 7 (that is to say on the [[Moon]], as their name implies). These moon-dwelling enemies have high stats but are easy to beat when an explosion, preferably from [[Admiral Bobbery]], flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks, but they reveal their true form when [[Mario]] comes close enough. Moon Clefts attack by charging at their opponents, and cannot be stomped because of their spikes.

'''Moon Clefts''' are a very powerful lunar species of [[Cleft]]s found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. Aside from the increase of power, they look and act nearly identically to normal Clefts. Moon Clefts are found during the portion of Chapter 7 that takes place on the [[moon]]. These Clefts have high statistics but are easy to beat when an explosion, such as from [[Bobbery|Admiral Bobbery]], flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0.

This enemy’s coloration is similar to that of ordinary [[Cleft]]s as they appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' (which themselves were misidentified as Moon Clefts in Western localizations of ''Super Paper Mario''), whereas ordinary Clefts are pale gray in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', matching the color scheme of the [[Boggly Woods]]. Their tattle also states them to simply be a basic Cleft found on the moon. They have the highest defense power in the game, alongside [[Chain Chomp]]s and [[Elite Wizzerd]]s.

They return in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' in Chapter 5-1, near [[Downtown of Crag]]. Their attack pattern remains the same: they charge at Mario and his allies as soon as they get close enough.   They still have the same weakness, as [[Boomer (Pixl)|Boomer]] can flip them over. Moon Clefts will occasionally drop a [[Cake Mix]] when they are defeated.

Moon Clefts are a very powerful lunar species of Clefts found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. Aside from the increase of power, they look and act nearly identically to normal Clefts. Moon Clefts are found during the portion of Chapter 7 that takes place on the moon. These Clefts have high statistics but are easy to beat when an explosion, such as from Admiral Bobbery, flips them over, lowering their Defense down to 0. Like their relatives, they disguise themselves as rocks, but they reveal their true form when Mario comes close enough. Moon Clefts attack by charging at their opponents, and cannot be stomped because of their spikes. This enemy’s coloration is similar to that of ordinary Clefts as they appear in Paper Mario and Super Paper Mario (which themselves were misidentified as Moon Clefts in Western localizations of Super Paper Mario), whereas ordinary Clefts are pale gray in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, matching the color scheme of the Boggly Woods. Their tattle also states them to simply be a basic Cleft found on the moon. They have the highest defense power in the game, alongside Chain Chomps and Elite Wizzerds.

Trivia[edit]

  • The respective internal file names for Moon Clefts and normal Clefts in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door indicate that at some point in development, Moon Clefts were intended to be the "base" version of Cleft while the final game's normal Cleft was intended as a variant, explaining Moon Cleft's usage of the original coloration.[1]
