'''Spite Bulbs''' are dark versions of [[Sprite Bulb]]s that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. These are the result of Sprite Bulbs becoming cut off from [[Connectar]] energy and instead run on their own stale energy. They are found throughout the Great Lighthouses, usually in large containers.

The [[Extension Corps]] use Spite Bulbs to empower [[Gobblick]], [[Sharpcask]] and [[Pipegunk]]. Once these bosses are defeated, the Spite Bulbs they contained turn back into Sprite Bulbs which [[Snoutlet]] immediately collects. The stale energy from Spite Bulbs is also used to create [[Glohm]].

All three bosses empowered by Spite Bulbs: Gobblick, Sharpcask, and Pipegunk, feature an almost identically designed pair of glowing, scowling eyes with a darker colored shadow in the center of what appears to be a sort of "mouth" in each of them.  As this trait is exclusive to these three characters, the only ones influenced by Spite Bulbs, it is likely that these traits are due to the influence of the also-scowling Spite Bulbs that power these bosses.

==Naming==
"Spite Bulb" is a portmanteau of "Sprite Bulb" (which they are a type of) and "spite", denoting their negative nature.
