Robo-Drilldigger is a giant mechanical robot, made entirely out of drills and cogs. It is primarily yellow, with green used in the body. Instead of hands, it has two red drills. Its name links it to the real world's [[Drilldigger]], which has cogs reminiscent of Robo-Drilldigger.


==History==
==History==
Robo-Drilldigger was formed out of floating mechanical drill-like objects in [[Dreamy Dozing Sands]] by [[Dream Stone spirit]], who was annoyed by [[Mario]] and [[Dreamy Luigi]] attempting to convince it to locate where the [[Dream Stone]] was. Robo-Drilldigger, after forming itself, causes the Luiginary Stack to collapse, leaving [[Dreamy Luigi]], [[Mario]], and [[Prince Dreambert]] in danger. Dreambert tells [[Starlow]] to touch the L on [[Luigi]]'s cap and [[Dreamy Luigi]] starts absorbing [[Luiginoid]]s, growing into [[Giant Luigi]]. When enough Luiginoids are absorbed, the player must turn the 3DS into a sideways position and start battling Robo-Drilldigger.
Robo-Drilldigger was formed out of many of the floating mechanical drills in Dreamy Dozing Sands by the [[Dream Stone's spirit]], who was annoyed by [[Mario]], [[Dreamy Luigi]], [[Prince Dreambert]], and the [[Luiginoid]]s repeatedly bothering it as they tried to get it to say where [[Dream Stone]] was. After the Dream Stone's spirit created Robo-Drilldigger, it attacked and knocked over the stacked Luiginoids, leaving the remainder of the group in danger. While Robo-Drilldigger continued to threaten the others, Mario and Dreambert notice that Dreamy Luigi is glowing.

==Attacks==
Robo-Drilldigger first attacks by creating a tornado around itself and sending out smaller tornadoes to [[Giant Luigi]] which must be jumped over to avoid. After doing this, it sends the tornado it is in to the background. Robo-Drilldigger can then be knocked into the tornado with a [[Hammer Chop]] for extra damage. The player  needs at least a "Great" from the Hammer Chop to send it into the tornado.

Robo-Drilldigger will then change its form into a mobile vehicle with its drills sticking up to prevent Luigi from performing the [[Jump]] attack on it, forcing Luigi to have to hammer it instead. In this form he attacks by trying to ram Luigi, which can be countered with the hammer. Robo-Drilldigger can also change into an aerial form that can't be hit with the hammer, but instead has to be jumped on. In this form it fires 6 drills at Luigi, after which he tries to swoop down and ram Luigi again, all of which can be countered with the hammer.
The battle starts with the jump tutorial. Afterward, Robo-Drilldigger attacks by spinning around to create a tornado, and sending out smaller tornadoes at [[Giant Luigi]]. These can be jumped over. Once complete, Robo-Drilldigger stops spinning and its tornado moves to the background. This prompts the tutorial for [[Hammer Chop]], a move that can knock the machine into the background and therefore into the tornado. The player needs at least a "Great" from the Hammer Chop to send it into the background tornado, and doing so inflicts additional damage. The tornado dissipates when Robo-Drilldigger performs a different attack, so there is only one turn to take advantage of the background tornado.


After Luigi does enough damage to Robo-Drilldigger, it fires a giant energy ball at Luigi. The first time this attack is used, it cannot be countered (and begins a tutorial about the [[Rhythm Mushroom]] move), however, after the first time it can be countered by repeatedly swiping over the Touch Screen in the direction of the laser. The unavoidable attack can't KO Luigi, however, and the Rhythm Mushroom tutorial does not use an attack turn and lets the player repeat it as many times as is desired. If the attack is not countered later, however, it can KO Luigi.

After it has taken even more damage, a short animation shows that it is damaged and it hides in an even bigger tornado in which he isn't visible at all. He also can change forms with the player only catching mere glimpses of Robo-Drilldigger's head's current position, which if seen the last of, will allow Luigi to deduce what form it is in. When it is his turn to attack, he breaks the tornado and attacks in whichever form it is at that moment. After he attacks, Robo-Drilldigger recreates the big tornado.

Robo-Drilldigger gains the ability to hide in a tornado, such that it is not visible at all.

The last visible height is the indicator of the form: lowest position means vehicle, middle position means standing, and highest position means flying.

—Robo-Drilldigger, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Robo-Drilldigger is a giant robot boss in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. It is the main boss of Dreamy Dozing Sands, and the first giant battle in the game. Robo-Drilldigger is a giant mechanical robot, made entirely out of drills and cogs. It is primarily yellow, with green used in the body. Instead of hands, it has two red drills. Its name links it to the real world's Drilldigger, which has cogs reminiscent of Robo-Drilldigger.

History[edit]

Robo-Drilldigger was formed out of many of the floating mechanical drills in Dreamy Dozing Sands by the Dream Stone's spirit, who was annoyed by Mario, Dreamy Luigi, Prince Dreambert, and the Luiginoids repeatedly bothering it as they tried to get it to say where Dream Stone was. After the Dream Stone's spirit created Robo-Drilldigger, it attacked and knocked over the stacked Luiginoids, leaving the remainder of the group in danger. While Robo-Drilldigger continued to threaten the others, Mario and Dreambert notice that Dreamy Luigi is glowing. Dreambert tells Starlow to touch the L on Luigi's cap, causing Dreamy Luigi to absorb many Luiginoids and grow into Giant Luigi. When enough Luiginoids are absorbed, the player must turn the 3DS into a sideways position and start battling Robo-Drilldigger.

After the Bros. defeat the Robo-Drilldigger, the Dream Stone's spirit is so impressed by the intense battle that it tells Dreamy Luigi where the Dream Stone is. They make a point of only talking to Dreamy Luigi.

Attacks[edit]

As the first giant boss in the game, Prince Dreambert explains the mechanics of Giant Battles to Dreamy Luigi.

The battle starts with the jump tutorial. Afterward, Robo-Drilldigger attacks by spinning around to create a tornado, and sending out smaller tornadoes at Giant Luigi. These can be jumped over. Once complete, Robo-Drilldigger stops spinning and its tornado moves to the background. This prompts the tutorial for Hammer Chop, a move that can knock the machine into the background and therefore into the tornado. The player needs at least a "Great" from the Hammer Chop to send it into the background tornado, and doing so inflicts additional damage. The tornado dissipates when Robo-Drilldigger performs a different attack, so there is only one turn to take advantage of the background tornado.

Robo-Drilldigger will then change its form into a mobile vehicle with its drills sticking up. Luigi cannot jump on Robo-Drilldigger in this state, forcing Luigi to hammer it instead or take damage. In this form Robo-Drilldigger. attacks by trying to ram Luigi, which can be countered with the hammer.

Robo-Drilldigger can also change into an aerial form that is too high to hit with the hammer, but can be jumped on. In this form it fires 6 drills at Luigi, then swoops down to ram Luigi. All of these are countered with the hammer.

After Luigi does enough damage to Robo-Drilldigger, it fires a giant energy ball at Luigi. The first time this attack is used, it cannot be countered. The damage prompts a tutorial about the Rhythm Mushroom move. After the first time, it can be countered by repeatedly tapping the Touch Screen to deflect the ball with Luigi's hammer back into Robo-Drilldigger. The unavoidable attack cannot KO Luigi. The Rhythm Mushroom tutorial does not use an attack turn and lets the player repeat it as many times as is desired. If the energy ball is not countered on repeat uses, it can KO Luigi.

After Robo-Drilldigger has taken even more damage, a short animation shows that the machine is breaking slightly.

Robo-Drilldigger gains the ability to hide in a tornado, such that it is not visible at all. It can also change forms rapidly while inside, while the player can only see the current position of Robo-Drilldigger's eyes as it flickers between one of three heights. The last visible height is the indicator of the form: lowest position means vehicle, middle position means standing, and highest position means flying. When it is Robo-Drilldigger's turn to attack, it breaks the tornado and attacks in its current form. After it attacks, Robo-Drilldigger always recreates the big tornado and repeats the process.

Once it is low on health, it switches back to the standing form but malfunctions and moves slowly. Finishing Bros. is used to defeat it, with the weak point being the chest.

Hard Mode differences[edit]

In the Hard Mode, Robo-Drilldigger sends two joined tornadoes instead of one at Luigi, making him have to jump at a much riskier time than before. It also fires several more drills than normal at Luigi, and possibly moves faster when trying to ram Luigi.
