'''Snoozorbs''' are large robots that appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "snooze" and "orb". They appear in [[Shroob Castle]], and are usually found sleeping, but wake up and attack when the Mario Bros. approach. While curled up, they resemble [[metal ball]]s.

'''Snoozorbs''' are large robots used by the [[Shroob]]s as guards in [[Shroob Castle]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. The name 'Snoozorb' is a portmanteau of the words 'snooze' and 'orb'. Usually, Snoozorbs are found sleeping, but if the Bros. approach them, they wake up and attack. Snoozorbs attack by either shooting a laser beam or changing into a ball and rolling into the Bros. As with other enemies, Snoozorbs give two hints on how they attack. First, they will blow some steam. If the steam comes out the right of the Snoozorb's head, it will attack [[Mario]] and if the steam comes out the left, it is targeting [[Luigi]].


==Battle==
If the Snoozorb does its rolling attack, it will roll toward the appropriate brother, who must [[Hammer]] the enemy away. If the Snoozorb is planning on firing a laser, it charges, gathering energy. If the energy goes straight in, Mario or Luigi must [[Jump]] to avoid the attack. If it spirals, however, the attack will pass overhead.
[[File:Snoozorbawake.png|frame|left]]Snoozorbs start the battle [[Sleep|asleep]], and thus do not attack until waken by the Bros. They only have two attacks, and indicate both of them with steam pouring from their heads. If the steam comes out of its right, the Snoozorb will attack [[Mario]]; if the steam comes out of its left, it will target [[Luigi]].


Snoozorbs can attack by changing into a ball and rolling into the Bros., which they must counter repeatedly with the [[hammer]]. They will not attempt this attack if the player does not have the [[Baby Mario|baby]] [[Baby Luigi|brothers]] with them, as only the babies have the hammers to counter it. Unlike most enemy attacks, successfully countering this does no damage to the Snoozorb.
After Snoozorbs have taken enough damage, they start attacking multiple times in a single turn.
 
Snoozorbs may also gather energy and fire a powerful laser. If the energy gathers straight towards the center, the laser will be fired directly at the Bros., who must [[jump]] to dodge; the laser may also be directed in a sweeping line to hit both Bros.. If the energy is gathered in a spiral, it will be shot over their heads, which will only hit the Bro. if they jump into it. As the Snoozorb takes more damage, it may fire multiple lasers in a single turn.
