Template:Character-infobox The Elite Trio is a group of three enemies that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, but all three members first appeared in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. It is made up of Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk and Sergeant Guy. They are fought in Dreamy Driftwood Shore after being found with Kamek, who was disguised as Princess Peach.
Battle
The Elite Trio's primary gimmick is the need to defeat all three of them in a single attack. If only one or two are defeated, the survivor(s) will revive their fallen allies with 1 HP. To further complicate matters, Corporal Paraplonk has an inexhaustible supply of Mushrooms he can use to heal his allies, in a way reminiscent of the Bowser Memory ML from Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
Sergeant Guy may attack by turning Private Goomp's Sub-Goomba horde into copies of himself, then attacking Mario from all four sides. The horde of Sergeants will either run past Mario harmlessly or run up to Mario and smash him with a hammer. Mario must turn to meet each attacker and counter them with a Hammer strike of his own; hitting the authentic Guy (identifiable by the red Bowser emblem on his flag) will end the attack. He can also attack by firing a Banzai Bill from his Sergeant Guy Cannon, forcing the player to repeatedly press to outrun the projectile. However, the attack can only be used after Guy spends a turn loading the cannon with a Banzai Bill; if Mario attacks the cannon before it can fire, the Banzai Bill will explode prematurely, causing massive damage to all enemies.
Apart from his aforementioned Mushroom stash, Corporal Paraplonk can attack by having two Paratroopas place a block on either side of Mario before bouncing between them in his shell. To end the attack without being hit by the Corporal's shell, Mario must jump on Paraplonk mid-attack, rebounding him into Private Goomp and his Sub-Goomba horde. If deflected in this way, Paraplonk will damage Goomp, all Sub-Goombas horizontally adjacent to Goomp, and the entire first line of Sub-Goombas in the background.
Private Goomp attacks by ordering the Sub-Goomba horde to pile up in a rectangular formation, which he sends to smash into Mario. By stomping on the pile, Mario can force the Sub-Goombas back to their commander, who promptly sends them back towards Mario. After several redirections, Goomp will eventually be hit by the pile; however, if Mario misses the pile with his jump, they will charge offscreen and return individually, forcing Mario to jump over any Sub-Goombas that are heading his way.
The Elite Trio's final attack has Sergeant Guy and Corporal Paraplonk getting a huge Bob-omb, which Guy uses to chase Mario (for his part, Paraplonk hovers overhead to watch the chase). Private Goomp will realize this too late to get out of Guy's way, forcing him to flee with his Sub-Goomba horde. As Mario runs from Sergeant Guy, Goomp and his minions will charge forward in an attempt to escape the Bob-omb; Mario must stomp on them to force them back. If Mario gets hit by any of the Sub-Goombas or Goomp, he will trip and Sergeant Guy will throw the Bob-omb on him, causing massive damage to the heroic plumber. On the other hand, if Mario successfully avoids being hit by any Goombas for the duration of the attack, the Bob-Omb will explode in Sergeant Guy's hands, damaging him, Paraplonk, and any Goombas that failed to escape offscreen.
Aftermath
After the trio's defeat, Kamek demotes them to to janitors for losing , then teleports them out. Mario and Luigi briefly encounter the Elite Trio again when they are going after Bowser after defeating Antasma for the final time. This time, the three minions decide to roll giant Bob-ombs down the spiraling ramp to prevent the Bros. from getting up to Bowser. During the credits of the game, Private Goomp and Sergeant Guy end up rocking the Koopa Clown Car so much trying to collect coins that it falls into the ocean, prompting Paraplonk (with assistance from Kamek) to rescue them and Bowser.

Elite Trio X
Template:Dtenemy Template:Dtenemy Template:Dtenemy The Elite Trio is also fought in the Battle Ring, as the upgraded X version, Elite Trio X. They are fought in the Normal Class 6 battle. Unlike most Battle Ring X bosses, there is no change in appearance between the versions of the Elite Trio members. Additionally, they all have the boosted stats all of Battle Ring's X bosses have, and the sky in the background has changed from pink to yellow.
