Pal Pill

A Pal Pill is a special item, which creates an 8-man army of mini, 8-bit versions of the character being used, which then surround the character. These pal pills will mimic the player's motion until either the pal pill touches an enemy, in which case, both the pal pill and the enemy are eradicated (depending on the enemies health), 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.
 * Super Dimentio has the ability to create a swarm of 8-bit Pals in Luigi's likeness although they are far weaker, only inflicting 1 damage and dying upon contact with anything (even the walls of the battlefield).
 * If the player switches characters with the Pal Pills, the Pall Pills will remain the same as the player who activated it.
