Pal Pill

A Pal Pill is a special item that creates an 8-man army of mini, 8-bit versions of the character being used, which then surround the character. These pals will mimic the player's motion until either the pals touch an enemy (in which case, both the pal pill and the enemy are eradicated, provided the enemy's health is low enough), or the player leaves the area. This item is found in ? Blocks in the game Super Paper Mario.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, in the Super Mario World animated series episode "Rock TV", an item similar to the Pill Pals appear; Princess Toadstool, upon hitting a ? Block in the episode, releases a brigade of miniature Marios, who began to attack the nearby Koopalings.
 * If the player switches characters with the Pal Pills, the Pal Pills will remain the same as the player who activated it.
