In battle, Monolifts hold 2-4 rocks over their head. In the uncommon instance it's holding a stack of four rocks, it'll turn red and struggle to hold the stack up. If the Monolift is jumped on during this time, the weight will be too much for it and the Monolift will be squished and defeated instantly.

Monolifts are small rocky, mountain-shaped creatures with hands and blue feet that appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. In the field, Monolifts carry rocks, and upon sighting Mario and Luigi, chase them for a short duration and throw a rock at the Bros. as a last effort to attack. They appear to be hostile, assist Flibbees R, and work for their boss Mammoshka.

In battle, Monolifts hold 2-4 rocks over their head. In the uncommon instance a Monolift is holding a stack of four rocks, it turns red and struggles to hold the stack up. If the Monolift is jumped on during this time, the weight becomes too much for it, and the Monolift is squished and defeated instantly.

When attacking, a Monolift may approach a Bro. and hold the stack of rocks even higher over its head, making it shake back and forth. The approached Bro. must hammer the Monolift when the rocks are tilting away from him to make them all fall on the Monolift. If he fails to do so successfully, the Monolift throws the rocks at a very vertical angle into the approached Bro., or the rocks fall on him.

Monolifts may also throw their stack of rocks high into the air, and punch them into Mario and Luigi; they must jump over them. If the Monolift faces Mario and the background, it is about to punch a metal rock at him. If the Monolift faces Luigi and the foreground, it is about to punch one at him. If the Monolift is about to punch a soft orange rock, it breaks into two and flies towards both Bros. who must jump over them completely; unlike the metal ones, landing on the orange rocks still does damage.

If a single Grumbell and Monolift are present in the battle, they may perform an attack together than involves the Monolift dropping its stack of rocks and the Grumbell dropping to the floor. The Monolift then picks up the Grumbell and begins weightlifting after twitching its eye. After several lifts, the Monolift throws the Grumbell at the Bro. it targets. If it twitches so its left eye is bigger, it aims at Luigi. If it twitches so its right eye is bigger, it aims at Mario. This attack takes up the Grumbell's attack turn.

A stronger version of Monolifts known as Monolifts R appears later on in the game.

Trivia

  • The name "Monolift" derives from "monolift rack", where barbells are placed on, fitting with the "strength" theme of Mount Pajamaja, and "monolith", a type of stone. It also references the partner attack it shares with Grumbell.
