Ninjoe

The Ninjoe is an enemy in Super Paper Mario. Its name is a portmanteau of the words "ninja", Japanese mercenaries, and "Joe", a generic name. The Ninjoe is found assisting Sammer Guys in Sammer's Kingdom, and on their own in the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials. It is a quick foe, and often throws ninja stars at the player. The Ninjoe's throwing star attack can be destroyed but it will only give the player 10 points for their score. On top of that, the Ninji, another enemy from Paper Mario: Sticker Star, transforms into a throwing star sometimes for their attack. Ninjoe's will additionly attept to become a decoy as a bomb (Which looks like Boomer) on occasions trying to trick Mario and his party causing them damage and making it slighty harder to defeat than most enemies which goes for the Ninji except it only does that when they are hit at the wrong time. Even if the player has already been hit, the decoy attack will still damage the player. There is no solid strategy to defeat it, though stunning it with Fleep and then jumping on it works effectively. While they may not be much of a threat alone, when they are encountered in groups, as they often are in the Pit of 100 Trials, they can become extremely dangerous.
