Reclusiff

Reclusiff
A Reclusiff in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
First appearance	Mario & Luigi: Brothership (2024)

Reclusiffs are enemies that are part of Reclusa's forces in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are silver, UFO-like creatures consisting of a purple saucer with red spots, and a square head with screen for a face, reminiscent of that of Reclusa, showing blue and yellow eyes that flicker. The head also sports a silver, cable-like antenna, with Glohm-like wiring sticking out of the tip. Reclusiffs are found in the Soli-Tree, where they fly at Mario and Luigi if approached in the field. In addition to being named after Reclusa, their name also appears to be a corruption of the word "reclusive".

At the top of the Soli-Tree, Reclusiffs are among the horde of minions Reclusa sends after Mario and Luigi. One Reclusiff must be battled alongside four Seedlusas.

Battle

In battle, Reclusiffs are flying enemies, so some attacks will not reach them. Reclusiffs perform three attacks in battle:

• During one attack, Reclusiffs fly above the Bros. from left to right or vice versa three times, dropping electrical spheres. The speed of the Reclusiff varies. Mario and Luigi must use their hammers to destroy the energy spheres. After the third fly-by, the Reclusiff will malfunction and move offscreen, before reappearing on the opposite side and falling on a character. The Reclusiff must be counterattacked to avoid damage. If the Reclusiff flies to the left, it will reappear close to Mario. If it moves to the right, Luigi is the target. The slam can cause the Dizzy status effect.
• Reclusiffs can fly at Mario and Luigi and perform several vertical loops before stopping. During this attack, Reclusiffs might change their target. The Bros. must jump to avoid the attack. If the Reclusiff is countered, the attack immediately ends. The initial targeted character is determined by the way the Reclusiff flies before the attack; if it flies counterclockwise, Mario is the target, while clockwise means Luigi will be targeted.
• A Reclusiff can fly above another enemy and fire an energy sphere at them, healing them by 200 HP and boosting their POW by 20%. Reclusiffs can perform this move even on enemies with full HP, resulting in only the POW boost being administered to their ally.
