Jojora

"What did you jerks do to my friend?!? How dare you? You are so uncool!"

- Jojora

Jojora is a mysterious fairy-like girl who lives in Joke's End during the events of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. She is just there because her friend's cousin's ancestor was the person who owned the place, which she explains to the brothers when they meet her at the gates. Mario and Luigi have to fight her and one of her friends during a chaotic tea party. She even seems to take delight in toying with the brothers while in the palace.

After making it through the entire palace, the brothers find Jojora in her room, where she asks them to sit down. She tells them that she admires their perseverance, and soon asks which "friend" they would like to meet for tea. After the brothers select one, the chosen friend falls down from the ceiling and fights alongside Jojora against the brothers. However, the friend will always have the same stats and appearance no matter which friend the player chooses.

When Mario and Luigi battle her, they find that she has maximum defense. In fact, most attacks only do one HP's worth of damage, as Jojora has the highest defense in the whole game. Despite her high defense, however, Jojora can indeed be defeated.

Offensively, she can wave her wand at them, causing them to freeze; if a Hammer strike is executed when she walks up to a brother, the brother can counter the attack and knock it out of her hands causing her to run away, crying "Eeek! Uncool, you creep!", to retrieve it back. But this is short-lasting, as she will soon find her wand and return to battle. Also, whenever a brother damage her friend while she is still on screen, she exclaims "You NEVER touch a lady without her permission!" and begins a snowstorm that can freeze both of the brothers (which needs to be avoided by rapidly jumping), and recover the two ladies' HP, but if she herself is attacked, no side effects occur. Because of this, the brothers will have to time their attacks so her friend is only damaged while Jojora is off getting her wand and unable to begin a snowstorm.

After Jojora's friend is defeated, she runs away disappointed while her friend melts away, only briefly returning to angrily call the brothers "jerks" before running off again and isn't seen again for the rest of the game.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, her role is largely the same as in the original. While she no longer has overwhelming defense or level recommendation in-battle, she has ten times her original HP as a trade-off and also drops the Revenge Jeans when defeated.

Trivia

 * Jojora is one of two bosses in the game (the other being Popple, save for his solo battle) who flee after their partner is defeated, and thus are not required to be defeated.
 * If Jojora's Friend is KO'd by Burn damage, a glitch will occur where the battle is not over and there is nothing to attack, and the game freezes.
 * Jojora's actions after her friend is defeated (where she cries and runs off, only to briefly return and yell "jerks" to the Mario Bros. before fleeing again) was similar to a Toad at Toadtown Square's reaction if Mario does not give him back a mushroom that was atop a bush upon retrieving it.
