Dark Satellmite

Dark Satellmites are dark enemies that assist the Dark Star during the events of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. When fighting Mario and Luigi, they will shoot lasers at the plumbers, but can easily be dodged by jumping. Sometimes, the Dark Satellmites will jump themselves, so their attacks are dodged by not jumping. When they are defeated, they start flashing a red color. When the Dark Star attacks next, it gives a bomb to the defeated Dark Satellmite, which then jumps high in the air and lands towards the brothers. Both the Dark Satellmite bounce in front of the brothers. The player should watch for the Dark Satellmite, so either Mario/Luigi can hammer it back at Dark Star to weaken its defenses, eventually exposing it to attack. The bomb is essentially a decoy, which damages whichever brother hits it. It is possible to hold down both A and B to hit both the Dark Satellmite, weakening the Dark Star, and the bomb, taking damage.

Dark Satellmite X
The "Dark Satellmite X" appears in the Gauntlet as an enemy assisting "Dark Star X" in Class 6. Like the Dark Star X, it has almost twice its original form's power, defense, speed, and HP.

Trivia
