Emoglobin

"IS THAT NOT GLOBIN?"

- Emoglobin

Emoglobins are block-like creatures that appear inside Bowser's body in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. They often are helpful, explaining to Mario and Luigi about how Bowser's body works. There are also rarer kinds that allow the brothers to save their game. They are usually orange or yellow, and Mario or Luigi must jump to hit and talk with them. There are usually a few Emoglobins found in each part of Bowser's body. They are known for replacing random nouns with the word "globin", and often putting "-ish" at the end of adjectives. In the European Spanish translation they speak in a poem-like way in a very refined Spanish with rhymes.

There is also a special Emoglobin located in the Toad Square and in the Trash Pit. It is colored orange with green eyes. This special globin secretes a sweat that restores both the HP and SP of Mario and Luigi. A Toad runs the shop there and sells the sweat for 10 coins.

There is also a kind of Emoglobin in the Challenge Node. They open and close like a Nintendo DS.
