'''Bandits''' are tall, larcenous relatives of [[Shy Guy]]s. They originally appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and have since commonly appeared in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' and ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series. As their name implies, Bandits' main trait is to steal from the player, whether it be [[coin]]s or [[Baby Mario]].

[[File:The Cave Of The Bandits.png||thumb|Both colors of Bandits in [[The Cave of the Bandits]]]]
Bandits, along with [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s, are some of the most common enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they come in two colors. The blue ones wander around until they spot [[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]], then give chase. If a Bandit successfully catches Yoshi, it takes Baby Mario and runs away. They can run very fast and jump on top of small ledges, making them a versatile foe. It takes six [[egg]]s (or [[watermelon]] seeds), three stomps, or a [[Ground Pound]] to dispatch them. The first three times a Bandit is hit with an egg, it drops a coin; the next three hits give [[extra life|extra lives]]. Yoshi can also use his tongue to push them back, but he cannot eat them. Sometimes they hide behind rocks, mushrooms, or cave walls, only coming out to steal Baby Mario if Yoshi gets damaged nearby or uses his tongue on one while it is hiding. Additionally, there are [[Winged Cloud]]s that uncommonly contain a Bandit. In two levels, they summon [[Itsunomanika Heihō]] to replace Baby Mario while the Bandit takes off. However, that can be foiled if the Itsunomanika Heihō is eaten or egged first. In one instance, they even parachute from [[Item Balloon|Baron von Zeppelin]]s.
A less-common pink variant, also known as '''Coin Bandit''',<ref name=guide>{{cite|date=1995|author=Miller, Kent and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|126}}|language=en-us}}</ref> is always seen carrying [[Red Coin|red coin]]s. The Coin Bandit usually flees from the Yoshis, but if the Yoshis manage to snatch the coin and/or use their tongue or [[Watermelon (Yoshi's Island series)|Green Watermelon]] seeds on the Bandit, it will start to chase them like a normal Bandit. However, if Yoshi grabs the coin without touching the Bandit, it will continue to act as though it is holding it. Other relatives of Bandits originate from this game, including [[Green Glove]]s, [[Grunt (Yoshi's Island series)|Grunt]]s, [[Slugger]]s and [[Zeus Guy]]s.


'''Bandits''' are a tall, larceny-loving sub-species of [[Shy Guy]]. Bandits originated from the [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'' series]], although they have gone on to appear in the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Mario Party]]'' series as well.
In [[Mini Battle]]s, such as [[Gather Coins]] and [[Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest]], Yoshi has to face off against a Bandit to win items. If the player uses a secret minigame code, a second player can use the second controller to play as the Bandit. In addition, the Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest's Bandit wears a cross-eyed Yoshi mask.


==History==
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
===''Yoshi'' series===
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Bandits only appear on land, and are the only enemies to take off with the babies. Bandits will jump very high when they notice a Yoshi, but they will not jump when they reach a ledge. Bandits can be viewed in the Land Enemies exhibit in the [[Island Museum]].
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island====
Bandits, along with Shy Guys, were two of the most common enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They would wander around, until spotting [[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]]. The bandit would then give chase. If successful, the Bandit would take Baby Mario and run away. They can run very fast, and jump on top of small ledges, making them a versatile foe. It took six eggs, three jumps, or a ground pound to dispatch them. For the first three times that the player hits a Bandit with an egg, it would drop a coin, the next three would give [[1-up]]s.  Yoshi can also use his tongue to push them back, but he can't eat them.


They also hide behind rocks, mushrooms, or cave walls, only coming out to steal Baby Mario if Yoshi gets damaged nearby. In two levels, they summoned Shy Guys to replace Baby Mario while the Bandit took off. However, that would be foiled if the Shy Guy was eaten or egged first. In one instance, they even parachuted from balloons.
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
[[File:Bandit Valley.png|thumb|Bandits are the main feature of Bandit Valley in ''Yoshi's New Island'']]
Bandits reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', acting the same as in previous appearances. They appear in blue and red, with the latter being analogous to the pink type from before. If they are stuck below Yoshi, they will continuously jump. They are also featured abundantly in a level named after them, called [[Bandit Valley]].
{{br}}


In [[Mini Battle]]s, such as [[Gather Coins]] and [[Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest]], Yoshi would face off against a Bandit to win items. If the [[player]] used a secret mini-game code, the second player could use the second controller to play as the Bandit (thus making Bandit, in an obscure way, a playable character).
===''Super Mario: Yossy Island'' (manga)===
[[File:BanditManga.png|thumb|A Bandit as seen in the ''Super Mario: Yossy Island'' manga.]]
Bandits appear in the manga based on ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.


====''Yoshi's Island DS====
===''Super Mario-kun''===
They were only on land in the DS game ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They were the only enemies that took off with babies. In the game, they were easier and though they jumped very very high when they noticed Yoshi, they would not jump when they reached a ledge.
[[File:BanditSuperMarioKun.png|thumb|left|Bandit, as seen in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
A Bandit appears in the Japanese manga series ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. Bandits' first appearance is in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 14|volume 14]], which is based on ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.


===''Paper Mario'' series===
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario====
====''Paper Mario''====
Bandits were common enemies in the [[Dry Dry Desert]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They sometimes fought along with [[Pokey]]s. They would run at an amazing speed towards [[Mario]], trying to steal his [[coin]]s. When Mario failed to do the defensive [[Action Command]], the Bandit would steal an amount of coins from Mario and run away from the battle as soon as possible. Mario was able to recollect his coins by defeating them quickly.
Pink Bandits are common enemies found in [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They can spot Mario from a decent distance compared to other enemies and, upon doing so, will dash at him in a straight line.


====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door====
In battle, Bandits often appear in gangs of multiple other bandits, though some occasionally accompany [[Pokey]]s. Their primary means of attack is to charge into [[Mario]] to steal his [[coin]]s and hurt him in the process. If Mario fails to perform the defensive [[Action Command]], the Bandit will steal a certain amount of coins from Mario and [[Flee|run away from battle]] as soon as possible. However, if Mario defends himself, the Bandit will get no coins and will have an embarrassed face while making the same pouting noise as a blocked [[Shy Guy]]. Mario can recollect his coins by damaging or defeating the Bandit(s) who stole them.

Bandits commonly appeared in [[Rogueport]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. On Mario's first walk in the town, in search for [[Professor Frankly]], a Bandit bumped into Mario, stealing half of his coins. Mario was able to track the Bandit down in a house near the market and retrieve his coins. Several other Bandits lived in Rogueport, namely [[Larson]], [[Swindell]] and [[Eddy the Mask]].


A team of Bandits known as the [[Hand-It-Overs]], consisting of two Bandits and two [[Big Bandit]]s, were fighters in the [[Glitz Pit]]. One of the Big Bandits, [[Bandy Andy]], was very interested in rumors about the Glitz Pit, for which he was eventually caught by [[Grubba]], leading to the Hand-It-Overs team disappearing from the roster along with the [[KP Koopas]]. They were replaced by the [[Wings of Night]] and the [[Destructors]] for the rest of Chapter 3.

[[File:PMTTYD Mario Confronting Bandit.png|thumb|Mario confronting the bandit in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'']]
Blue Bandits commonly appear in [[Rogueport]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. During Mario's first foray into the town in search of [[Professor Frankly]], a Bandit zooms by Mario, stealing half of his coins and leaving him dizzy. Mario is able to track the Bandit down to a house near the market and retrieve his coins. Several other Bandits live in Rogueport, namely [[Larson]], [[Swindell]] and [[Eddy the Mask]].


Bandits also appeared in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Rogueport)|Pit of 100 Trials]] in the [[Rogueport Sewers]], along with [[Badge Bandit]]s. They have lost their amazing speed.
Pink Bandits make rare appearances as enemies. They do not move as quickly as those in the previous game. They now quietly get a disappointed frown if Mario or his partner defends themselves with the Action Command, or if a successful attack does not steal any coins (which can occur rarely). A team of Bandits known as [[The Hand-It-Overs]], consisting of two Bandits and two [[Big Bandit]]s, are fighters in the [[Glitz Pit]]. One of the Big Bandits, [[Bandy Andy]], is very interested in rumors about the Glitz Pit, and is eventually caught by [[Grubba]], leading to The Hand-It-Overs team disappearing from the roster along with [[The KP Koopas]].

====''Mario Party 7''====
A Bandit appears in [[Pyramid Park]] of ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', but only in Solo Mode. It stole a [[Star]] from the Bowser Sphinx and the player's goal is to get the Star back from the Bandit with a [[Chain Chomp]] and return it to the Bowser Sphinx. There is also a [[Bandit Orb]] that is exclusive to the board [[Windmillville]] of which is thrown and whoever lands on it will have their money taken out of their windmill and given to the character who owns the space.
One Bandit is a character in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. It appears in [[Pyramid Park]], in Solo Cruise mode only. It stole a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] from the [[Bowser Sphinx]], and the player's goal is to get the Star back from the Bandit with a [[Chain Chomp]] and return it to the Bowser Sphinx. There is also a [[Bandit Orb]] that is exclusive to the board [[Windmillville]]; whoever lands on a space it is applied to will have their money taken out of their windmill and given to the character who owns the space.
 
====''Mario Party 8''====
[[File:Bandit MP8.png|left|thumb|A Bandit seen in ''Mario Party 8''.]]
One Bandit is a character in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. It appears in [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]], walking around one of the train wagons. When a character lands on a [[Green Space]] above the train, a Shy Guy will appear, revealing that a Bandit (or [[Mowz]]) has robbed [[Holly Koopa]]'s [[Candy (Mario Party 8)|Candy]]. The character must now remember which wagon the Bandit/Mowz was in. If the character remembers correctly, the Bandit/Mowz will return the candy and the character will receive 20 [[Coin|coins]] (10 in Duel Mode). A Bandit also appears in [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]]. If a certain ? Space is landed on, a Bandit will appear in an alley and steal coins from an opponent's investment in the nearest hotel. If enough is stolen, the hotel will be forced to downsize, causing the owner to lose a star.
 
A Bandit is one of the competitors in [[Moped Mayhem]].

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Bandits reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' as enemies. They are regular enemies on the path to the [[Dozing Mattress]] in [[Dozing Sands]]. In the field, Bandits throw bandaged smoke bombs at Mario and [[Luigi]] upon spotting them, and then chase them briefly. In battle, a Bandit may throw two smoke bombs, one that is closer to the enemy side of the battlefield, and one that is closer to Mario and Luigi. The Bandit and all other ones (if any) will then, one by one, sneak through the smoke and come out the second smoke cloud to charge at a brother.
 
If the Bandit is looking at the background when it is momentarily visible while moving between smoke clouds, it will attack Mario; if it is looking at the foreground, it will attack Luigi. If a Bandit hits either Mario or Luigi with this attack, they will steal a maximum of 100 coins and could give the bros. the [[trip]] status effect. At the end of the attack, the Bandits will line up in the middle of the screen and show whether they got any coins or not. They will then all jump high into the air to shuffle themselves amongst each other before falling back into position, forcing the Bros. to guess which Bandit to target to get their coins back. A Bandit will [[flee]] on the next turn if carrying 100 coins unless the player defeats it to reclaim the coins. A Bandit carrying the coins will not burst immediately if defeated, instead entering a "taken damage" sprite a second after the attack while dropping the coins before it bursts. If a Bandit performs this attack, any Bandits who have not gone yet will lose their next turn.
 
Bandits may also attack individually by approaching a brother, pulling out a smoke bomb, and throwing it where they stand. The attacking Bandit will then either run out of the smoke in order to tackle the targeted brother, or will send out a cardboard Bandit on a string with a bomb tied behind it. Mario or Luigi must smack the real Bandit when it comes out; hitting the cardboard copy will result in the bomb exploding, damaging the target and possibly leaving them [[dizzy]].
 
Bandits also appear as a background enemy in [[Somnom Woods]] — however, in this appearance, they carry a [[Golden Egg]]. Due to running away when hit with a [[Taunt Ball]], they cannot be defeated, but they do drop the Golden Egg they are carrying, which can be brought into the battlefield if Mario or Luigi hit it with their hammers as it bounces by. If the Bros. take too long to destroy the egg, the Bandits will reclaim it.
 
A [[Shy Guy Airtub]] may assist the Dozing Sands Bandits in battle by appearing as a background enemy.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Even though Bandits do not appear physically in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', their name sometimes appears as a wrong answer for identifying a certain enemy in the Toad quizzes.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSSBMBandit.png|thumb]]
Bandits appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they are enemies and recruitable allies found in ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]''. They are ranged troopers, and attack by throwing explosive cardboard Bandits, similar to the ones from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'' via their Throw the Fight skill. Bandits are fast, but have low power.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
Bandits reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they are enemies and recruitable allies found in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. They behave the same way as in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. If there are more than one of them, their Throw the Fight skill will have a giant explosive cardboard Bandit. They are weak against Purple [[Para-Biddybud]]s.

Bandit, Mario Party 8

Bandits are tall, larcenous relatives of Shy Guys. They originally appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and have since commonly appeared in the Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi and Mario Party series. As their name implies, Bandits' main trait is to steal from the player, whether it be coins or Baby Mario.

History[edit]

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Bandits, along with Shy-Guys, are some of the most common enemies in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where they come in two colors. The blue ones wander around until they spot Yoshi and Baby Mario, then give chase. If a Bandit successfully catches Yoshi, it takes Baby Mario and runs away. They can run very fast and jump on top of small ledges, making them a versatile foe. It takes six eggs (or watermelon seeds), three stomps, or a Ground Pound to dispatch them. The first three times a Bandit is hit with an egg, it drops a coin; the next three hits give extra lives. Yoshi can also use his tongue to push them back, but he cannot eat them. Sometimes they hide behind rocks, mushrooms, or cave walls, only coming out to steal Baby Mario if Yoshi gets damaged nearby or uses his tongue on one while it is hiding. Additionally, there are Winged Clouds that uncommonly contain a Bandit. In two levels, they summon Itsunomanika Heihō to replace Baby Mario while the Bandit takes off. However, that can be foiled if the Itsunomanika Heihō is eaten or egged first. In one instance, they even parachute from Baron von Zeppelins.

A less-common pink variant, also known as Coin Bandit,[1] is always seen carrying red coins. The Coin Bandit usually flees from the Yoshis, but if the Yoshis manage to snatch the coin and/or use their tongue or Green Watermelon seeds on the Bandit, it will start to chase them like a normal Bandit. However, if Yoshi grabs the coin without touching the Bandit, it will continue to act as though it is holding it. Other relatives of Bandits originate from this game, including Green Gloves, Grunts, Sluggers and Zeus Guys.

In Mini Battles, such as Gather Coins and Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest, Yoshi has to face off against a Bandit to win items. If the player uses a secret minigame code, a second player can use the second controller to play as the Bandit. In addition, the Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest's Bandit wears a cross-eyed Yoshi mask.

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

In Yoshi's Island DS, Bandits only appear on land, and are the only enemies to take off with the babies. Bandits will jump very high when they notice a Yoshi, but they will not jump when they reach a ledge. Bandits can be viewed in the Land Enemies exhibit in the Island Museum.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

Bandits are the main feature of Bandit Valley in Yoshi's New Island

Bandits reappear in Yoshi's New Island, acting the same as in previous appearances. They appear in blue and red, with the latter being analogous to the pink type from before. If they are stuck below Yoshi, they will continuously jump. They are also featured abundantly in a level named after them, called Bandit Valley.

Super Mario: Yossy Island (manga)[edit]

A Bandit appears in the Japanese manga series Super Mario-kun. Bandits' first appearance is in volume 14, which is based on Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

Pink Bandits are common enemies found in Dry Dry Desert in Paper Mario. They can spot Mario from a decent distance compared to other enemies and, upon doing so, will dash at him in a straight line.

In battle, Bandits often appear in gangs of multiple other bandits, though some occasionally accompany Pokeys. Their primary means of attack is to charge into Mario to steal his coins and hurt him in the process. If Mario fails to perform the defensive Action Command, the Bandit will steal a certain amount of coins from Mario and run away from battle as soon as possible. However, if Mario defends himself, the Bandit will get no coins and will have an embarrassed face while making the same pouting noise as a blocked Shy Guy. Mario can recollect his coins by damaging or defeating the Bandit(s) who stole them.

Blue Bandits do not appear in the final game, though graphics for them are unused in the data.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Mario confronting the bandit in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Blue Bandits commonly appear in Rogueport in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. During Mario's first foray into the town in search of Professor Frankly, a Bandit zooms by Mario, stealing half of his coins and leaving him dizzy. Mario is able to track the Bandit down to a house near the market and retrieve his coins. Several other Bandits live in Rogueport, namely Larson, Swindell and Eddy the Mask.

Pink Bandits make rare appearances as enemies. They do not move as quickly as those in the previous game. They now quietly get a disappointed frown if Mario or his partner defends themselves with the Action Command, or if a successful attack does not steal any coins (which can occur rarely). A team of Bandits known as The Hand-It-Overs, consisting of two Bandits and two Big Bandits, are fighters in the Glitz Pit. One of the Big Bandits, Bandy Andy, is very interested in rumors about the Glitz Pit, and is eventually caught by Grubba, leading to The Hand-It-Overs team disappearing from the roster along with The KP Koopas. They are replaced by Wings of Night and The Destructors for the rest of Chapter 3. Bandits also appear in the Pit of 100 Trials in Rogueport Underground, along with Badge Bandits.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party 7[edit]

One Bandit is a character in Mario Party 7. It appears in Pyramid Park, in Solo Cruise mode only. It stole a Star from the Bowser Sphinx, and the player's goal is to get the Star back from the Bandit with a Chain Chomp and return it to the Bowser Sphinx. There is also a Bandit Orb that is exclusive to the board Windmillville; whoever lands on a space it is applied to will have their money taken out of their windmill and given to the character who owns the space.

Mario Party 8[edit]

One Bandit is a character in Mario Party 8. It appears in Shy Guy's Perplex Express, walking around one of the train wagons. When a character lands on a Green Space above the train, a Shy Guy will appear, revealing that a Bandit (or Mowz) has robbed Holly Koopa's Candy. The character must now remember which wagon the Bandit/Mowz was in. If the character remembers correctly, the Bandit/Mowz will return the candy and the character will receive 20 coins (10 in Duel Mode). A Bandit also appears in Koopa's Tycoon Town. If a certain ? Space is landed on, a Bandit will appear in an alley and steal coins from an opponent's investment in the nearest hotel. If enough is stolen, the hotel will be forced to downsize, causing the owner to lose a star.

A Bandit is one of the competitors in Moped Mayhem.

Mario & Luigi series[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]

Bandits reappear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team as enemies. They are regular enemies on the path to the Dozing Mattress in Dozing Sands. In the field, Bandits throw bandaged smoke bombs at Mario and Luigi upon spotting them, and then chase them briefly. In battle, a Bandit may throw two smoke bombs, one that is closer to the enemy side of the battlefield, and one that is closer to Mario and Luigi. The Bandit and all other ones (if any) will then, one by one, sneak through the smoke and come out the second smoke cloud to charge at a brother.

If the Bandit is looking at the background when it is momentarily visible while moving between smoke clouds, it will attack Mario; if it is looking at the foreground, it will attack Luigi. If a Bandit hits either Mario or Luigi with this attack, they will steal a maximum of 100 coins and could give the bros. the trip status effect. At the end of the attack, the Bandits will line up in the middle of the screen and show whether they got any coins or not. They will then all jump high into the air to shuffle themselves amongst each other before falling back into position, forcing the Bros. to guess which Bandit to target to get their coins back. A Bandit will flee on the next turn if carrying 100 coins unless the player defeats it to reclaim the coins. A Bandit carrying the coins will not burst immediately if defeated, instead entering a "taken damage" sprite a second after the attack while dropping the coins before it bursts. If a Bandit performs this attack, any Bandits who have not gone yet will lose their next turn.

Bandits may also attack individually by approaching a brother, pulling out a smoke bomb, and throwing it where they stand. The attacking Bandit will then either run out of the smoke in order to tackle the targeted brother, or will send out a cardboard Bandit on a string with a bomb tied behind it. Mario or Luigi must smack the real Bandit when it comes out; hitting the cardboard copy will result in the bomb exploding, damaging the target and possibly leaving them dizzy.

Bandits also appear as a background enemy in Somnom Woods — however, in this appearance, they carry a Golden Egg. Due to running away when hit with a Taunt Ball, they cannot be defeated, but they do drop the Golden Egg they are carrying, which can be brought into the battlefield if Mario or Luigi hit it with their hammers as it bounces by. If the Bros. take too long to destroy the egg, the Bandits will reclaim it.

A Shy Guy Airtub may assist the Dozing Sands Bandits in battle by appearing as a background enemy.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

Even though Bandits do not appear physically in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, their name sometimes appears as a wrong answer for identifying a certain enemy in the Toad quizzes.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Bandits appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, where they are enemies and recruitable allies found in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. They are ranged troopers, and attack by throwing explosive cardboard Bandits, similar to the ones from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team via their Throw the Fight skill. Bandits are fast, but have low power.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]

Bandits reappear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, where they are enemies and recruitable allies found in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode. They behave the same way as in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. If there are more than one of them, their Throw the Fight skill will have a giant explosive cardboard Bandit. They are weak against Purple Para-Biddybuds.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

A spirit of a Bandit depicted with its artwork from Yoshi's New Island appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
