Shadoo



Shadoo is the boss of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials the second time the four heroes reach Room 100 in Super Paper Mario. While it was created by the Ancients, it works for its "own cursed powers". When the four heroes make it to Room 100, it tries to defeat them and take their place to take vengeance on the Ancients with the Pixls by turning into each hero and copying their moves.

It's true form is never revealed for it first appeared as an entirely black form of Luigi (although, it is actually mocking Mr. L), then Bowser, Peach, and finally Mario. Each form has 100 HP and an attack of ten, and when the form of Mario uses his hammer, twenty. His attack is also twenty when his form of Bowser breathes fire. If the heroes don't fight back smartly (such as neglecting to use Barry or even Peach's umbrella to deflect damage) the fight can be lost very easily and all progress in the Pit will be lost.

Upon defeat eight Catch Cards appear: one of each of the heroes and their dark forms. Additionally, Mario's 3D flip meter will never run out.

Trivia

 * The first time the heroes make it to the bottom, Shadoo is hidden and says that he is there "to give power to the heroes". But it is not sure if the four really are the heroes, so it challenges them to make it through the Pit again, which leads to what is described above.


 * Judging by his self-description, shapshifting powers, and mention of revenge against the Pixls, it may be possible that Shadoo is the Pixl Queen reincarnated.
