Enemy stats and drops for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, including Dark Mechawful, Drillbit Crab, and Fawflant.

Dark Mechawful (.5)

This enemy has a base HP of 280-283, or 420-425 with the C. Medal. It drops Star Candy and Power Fangs X. Its attacks include Punch (counter around "1") and Laser (shell guard until "0", then punch rapidly). Upon defeat, its head ejects and can be Vacuumed (a mechanic where you suck up items or enemies) by the Mario Bros.

Dark Trashure

The Dark Trashure has a base HP of 342-360, or 513-540 with the C. Medal. It can drop an Ultrasyrup Jar and Minion Band SP. Its attacks are Contents Toss (Bugs, Cannonballs, Hammer require a punch or jump; Coins, Mushrooms should be taken) and Escape (it flees the battle). Vacuuming it when it is open can yield Coins and potentially defeat it, but it will flee more often.

DEF Pep

With a base HP of 107-110 (161-165 with C. Medal), the DEF Pep drops Supersyrup Jar and DEF Mush Jam. It can transform into a POW or SPEED Pep. Its only listed attack is Combine, where it merges with an enemy to raise its Defense.

Drillbit Crab

This spiked enemy has a base HP of 112-116 (168-174 with C. Medal) and drops a Super Mushroom and Big Shell. Its attacks are Tackle (requires a hammer counter) and Underground Tackle (jump over; watch for dust clouds to identify the target).

Elite Goombule

The Elite Goombule has a base HP of 15-16 (23-24 with C. Medal) and drops a Mushroom. Its only attack is Tackle, which can be jumped on or over. Jumps deal no damage to this enemy.

Fawflant

The Fawflant has a base HP of 93-103 (140-155 with C. Medal) and drops a Super Mushroom and Big Shell. Its attacks include Tackle (requires a hammer counter) and Underground Tackle (jump over; watch for dust clouds to identify the target).

Tips
  • For Dark Mechawful, remember to use the Vacuum (a mechanic where you suck up items or enemies) on its ejected head.
  • The Dark Trashure can be defeated by vacuuming its contents when it opens, but be aware it may flee.
  • Drillbit Crab is spiked, so avoid direct contact unless attacking.
  • Elite Goombule jumps deal no damage, so focus on ground attacks.
  • Pay attention to dust clouds for the Drillbit Crab's Underground Tackle.
