The Yoofoe,[1] also spelled Yoo-foe,[2] is a miniboss-like enemy in Super Mario Odyssey. The Yoofoe resembles a flying saucer UFO and a top hat. It has a purple Ground Pound symbol on its head followed by an inward facing black ring along the midsection of the enemy with a menacing red eye in the front of that black ring. The bottom section consists of a silver-colored dome-like structure. The Yoofoe is an alien invader, as suggested by the titles of the Power Moons received from it ("Invader in the Sky Garden" and "Invader in Bowser's Castle"). Its name is a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of "UFO" and "foe".
It appears in three kingdoms:
- The top of the Sky Garden Tower in the Wooded Kingdom, where it drops the "Invader in the Sky Garden" Power Moon. The Moon Rock has to be destroyed for it to appear.
- The right platform of the Main Courtyard Entrance of Bowser's Kingdom, where it drops the "Invader in the Bowser's Castle" Power Moon. The Moon Rock has to be destroyed for it to appear.
- The underground section of the Darker Side as the first obstacle. Defeating it is optional, but it drops a Life-Up Heart.
Upon noticing Mario, the Yoofoe makes a piston noise and then shoots out five Goombas from its bottom. After this, it emits a red circular laser followed by two short razor bars. It moves in straight lines around its area while rotating these bars, stopping between each movement. As it moves, it shoots out one small Spiked Ball followed by one Goomba. It repeats this pattern until Mario jumps on it. This is traditionally done by capturing a Goomba, making a Goomba Tower with the other Goombas to get high enough, then releasing them. After getting hit once, the Yoofoe knocks Mario off its head, resetting his position. It also makes all the previously spawned Goombas disappear. It then expels a much larger red circular laser followed by four long razor bars instead of two short ones. The Yoofoe continues its previous pattern at this point, though every time it releases a Goomba, it spins its razor bars rapidly, thus Mario can only jump on the Yoofoe when it is not spinning.
If there are eight Goombas that have been spawned by the Yoofoe out at once, no more are spawned, and if all eight Goombas are made into a Goomba Tower, the Yoofoe stops dropping Spiked Balls.
When it is defeated, a short cutscene plays with the Yoofoe spinning out of control and exploding. It drops the item as listed in the location list above.
The encounter in the Wooded Kingdom changes the music to the variation, "Steam Gardens: Sherm". That song is otherwise played when fighting the rotating defense mechanism in the objective Path to the Secret Flower Field.
Yoofoe can take damage from a number of things other than Mario. In the Wooded Kingdom, the player can alternatively capture an Uproot or Glydon. In Bowser's Kingdom, Mario can throw a seed onto the top.
