- “Haw haw! We stole a whole boatload of this place's Stupendous Stew for the boss's wedding chow. But I'm gonna head back up the volcano to finish off that stew...after I'm done with you!”
- —Spewart, Super Mario Odyssey
Spewart is a stocky member of the Broodals, and is the group's entertainer. Like the other Broodals, he is from the Moon and found in Super Mario Odyssey, specifically in the Wooded Kingdom, Luncheon Kingdom, Bowser's Kingdom, and Dark Side. His name is a portmanteau of "spew", referring to his method of attack, and the male name "Stewart".
He is dressed in a blue suit, black shorts, and wears a white cravat tie, along with a blue hat with a golden spiked ring, and is physically similar to Morton Koopa Jr., while his hairstyle resembles a drooping version of that of Ludwig von Koopa.
Concept and creation[edit]
When advancing the design of Spewart, both the size and shape of his mouth as well as the way he used it to attack were taken in consideration.[1]
History[edit]
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
Spewart is first encountered in the Wooded Kingdom, during the "Flower Thieves of Sky Garden" objective, where he tells Mario that he and the other Broodals already took the Soirée Bouquet. He starts in the center of the arena, and spews poison in a large circle around himself. He stays in place, but rotates slowly to try to face Mario. Occasionally, he spits more posion that lands in a small arc. These attacks have a smaller radius than the initial spread. Sometimes, he tries to spit but chokes on the poison instead, so he spends time coughing instead of attacking. Spewart's hat must be knocked off so that he can be stomped on, either by using a Cap Throw or with an initial jump. Using a stomp for the hat clears a small ring of poison from the surrounding area, while stomping Spewart clears out all the poison in the arena. The Cap Throw that removes Spewart's hat pushes him backward, but additional throws have no further effect on him.
After being hit, Spewart retreats into his hat and spins around the arena, leaving a trail of poison behind him. He bounces off walls and off of Cappy, but not necessarily in the expected angle. The attack ends after a while or if Mario stomps on the hat, both of which have Spewart return to the center of the arena. Spewart starts again with a new posion circle, but now he spits posion in a straight line extending all the way to the edge of the arena. He enters the same spinning phase after being hit a second time, but the third loop starts with a larger posion circle, and he can use both the short arc and the longer straight attacks. He is defeated after the third stomp.
Spewart is fought again in the Luncheon Kingdom, during the mission "The Broodals Are After Some Cookin'", where he has stolen a pot of Stupendous Stew. He says he plans to go back to eat the rest of it after he defeats Mario. Unlike the other Broodals, his strategy is unchanged and the only difference is a larger battlefield and that he starts walking slowly towards Mario once he is done spewing poison. Spewart is also found in Bowser's Kingdom, as one of the pilots of RoboBrood.
Spewart's last encounter is on the Dark Side. He says he plans to take the Odyssey after defeating Mario. The fight against him here is largely the same as the one in the Luncheon Kingdom, but Mario now has the Moon's low gravity to contend with. He also returns alongside the other Broodals in the RoboBrood rematch on the Dark Side.

Spewart, the Entertainer
Is the vulgarity all an act?
Spinning around while spitting poison in a wide area, Spewart is the least subtle of the Broodals. But he also has an unexpectedly artistic side, as his poisonous ground-paintings show.
