Additionally, if [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] are not present, Snoozorbs will not perform this attack because of the inability to use hammers.


Snoozorbs may also gather energy and fire a powerful laser. If the energy gathers straight towards the center, the laser will be fired directly at the Bros., who must [[jump]] to dodge; the laser may also be directed in a sweeping line to hit both Bros.. If the energy is gathered in a spiral, it will be shot over their heads, which will only hit the Bro. if they jump into it. As the Snoozorb takes more damage, it may fire multiple lasers in a single turn.

Snoozorbs are large robots that appear as enemies in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Their name is a portmanteau of "snooze" and "orb". They appear in Shroob Castle, and are usually found sleeping, but wake up and attack when the Mario Bros. approach. While curled up, they resemble metal balls.

Battle[edit]

Snoozorbs start the battle asleep, and thus do not attack until waken by the Bros. First Strikes will not wake them up. Once they have taken damage during the battle, they will wake up. Snoozorbs revived by Soul Bubbles are brought back in their sleeping state.

Snoozorbs have two attacks they can perform. Both of them involve releasing steam to show who they will attack; if the steam travels to their right, Mario is the target. If it is to their left, they will attack Luigi.

  • Snoozorbs gather up energy before firing a laser at the Bros. If the energy gathers in a straight path, the laser will be fired directly at Mario or Luigi. If the energy is gathered in a spiral formation, the beam will travel over them instead. If the latter action is performed, the attacking Snoozorb will fire an additional laser directly at Mario or Luigi. Sometimes the laser will be aimed to the other character during the attack. This attack is dodged by jumping.
  • Snoozorbs roll at Mario or Luigi and must be countered by using the hammer. After repelling the Snoozorb, it may continue to charge at the same character. After enough hits, the Snoozorb will return to their normal position in the battle. Snoozorbs do not take damage from countering them during the attack. Additionally, if Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are not present, Snoozorbs will not perform this attack because of the inability to use hammers.
