Its name is a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of "UFO" and "foe".


==Description==
It appears in three kingdoms:
The Yoofoe resembles a flying saucer [[UFO]]. It has a purple [[Ground Pound]] symbol on its head followed by an inward facing black ring along the midsection of the enemy with a menacing red eye in the front of that black ring. The bottom section consists of a silver-colored dome-like structure. This enemy makes three appearances in the game; one in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], another in [[Bowser's Kingdom]] and the last in the [[Darker Side]]. Each time it is defeated, [[Mario]] is rewarded one [[Power Moon]], with the exception being the Darker Side in which a [[Life-Up Heart]] is rewarded instead.  
*The top of the [[Sky Garden Tower]] in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], where it drops the "Invader in the Sky Garden" Power Moon. The [[Moon Rock]] has to be destroyed for it to appear.
*The right platform of the [[Main Courtyard Entrance]] of [[Bowser's Kingdom]], where it drops the "Invader in the Bowser's Castle" Power Moon. The Moon Rock has to be destroyed for it to appear.
*The underground section of the [[Darker Side]] as the first obstacle. Defeating it is optional, but it drops a [[Life-Up Heart]].


==Tactics==
Upon noticing [[Mario]], the Yoofoe makes a piston noise and then shoots out five [[Goomba]]s from its bottom. After this, it emits a red circular laser followed by two short razor bars. It moves in straight lines around its area while rotating these bars, stopping between each movement. As it moves, it shoots out one small [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]] followed by one Goomba. It repeats this pattern until Mario jumps on it. This is traditionally done by [[capture|capturing]] a [[Goomba]], making a [[Goomba Tower]] with the other Goombas to get high enough, then releasing them. After getting hit once, the Yoofoe knocks Mario off its head, resetting his position. It also makes all the previously spawned Goombas disappear. It then expels a much larger red circular laser followed by four long razor bars instead of two short ones. The Yoofoe continues its previous pattern at this point, though every time it releases a Goomba, it spins its razor bars rapidly, thus Mario can only jump on the Yoofoe when it is not spinning.

Initially, upon noticing Mario, the Yoofoe makes a piston noise and then shoots out five [[Goombas]] from its bottom. After this, it emits a red circular laser followed by two short razor bars. It then moves about the stage while rotating these bars. As it moves, it shoots out one small [[Spiked Ball]] followed by one Goomba. It repeats this pattern until Mario ground pounds it from above. After getting hit once, it electrocutes itself (thus knocking Mario off its head) and makes all the previously spawned Goombas disappear. It then expels a much larger red circular laser followed by four long razor bars instead of two short ones. It continues its previous pattern at this point, however every time it releases a Goomba, it spins its razor bars rapidly. Thus Mario can only Ground Pound the Yoofoe when it is not spinning.  


Upon defeat, a short cutscene plays with the Yoofoe spinning out of control and exploding into a Power Moon.
If there are eight Goombas that have been spawned by the Yoofoe out at once, no more are spawned, and if all eight Goombas are made into a [[Goomba Tower]], the Yoofoe stops dropping [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]]s.

==Trivia==
When it is defeated, a short cutscene plays with the Yoofoe spinning out of control and exploding. It drops the item as listed in the location list above.
*All of the Power Moons received from defeating the Yoofoe are titled "Invader in (area)" implying that the Yoofoe is an alien invader.
 
The encounter in the Wooded Kingdom changes the music to the variation, "[[Super Mario Odyssey sound test|Steam Gardens: Sherm]]". That song is otherwise played when fighting the [[rotating defense mechanism]] in the [[mission|objective]] [[Path to the Secret Flower Field]].
 
Yoofoe can take damage from a number of things other than Mario. In the Wooded Kingdom, the player can alternatively capture an [[Uproot]] or [[Glydon]]. In [[Bowser's Kingdom]], Mario can throw a [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seed]] onto the top.

First appearance Super Mario Odyssey (2017)

The Yoofoe,[1] also spelled Yoo-foe,[2] is a miniboss-like enemy in Super Mario Odyssey. The Yoofoe resembles a flying saucer UFO and a top hat. It has a purple Ground Pound symbol on its head followed by an inward facing black ring along the midsection of the enemy with a menacing red eye in the front of that black ring. The bottom section consists of a silver-colored dome-like structure. The Yoofoe is an alien invader, as suggested by the titles of the Power Moons received from it ("Invader in the Sky Garden" and "Invader in Bowser's Castle"). Its name is a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of "UFO" and "foe".

It appears in three kingdoms:

Upon noticing Mario, the Yoofoe makes a piston noise and then shoots out five Goombas from its bottom. After this, it emits a red circular laser followed by two short razor bars. It moves in straight lines around its area while rotating these bars, stopping between each movement. As it moves, it shoots out one small Spiked Ball followed by one Goomba. It repeats this pattern until Mario jumps on it. This is traditionally done by capturing a Goomba, making a Goomba Tower with the other Goombas to get high enough, then releasing them. After getting hit once, the Yoofoe knocks Mario off its head, resetting his position. It also makes all the previously spawned Goombas disappear. It then expels a much larger red circular laser followed by four long razor bars instead of two short ones. The Yoofoe continues its previous pattern at this point, though every time it releases a Goomba, it spins its razor bars rapidly, thus Mario can only jump on the Yoofoe when it is not spinning.

If there are eight Goombas that have been spawned by the Yoofoe out at once, no more are spawned, and if all eight Goombas are made into a Goomba Tower, the Yoofoe stops dropping Spiked Balls.

When it is defeated, a short cutscene plays with the Yoofoe spinning out of control and exploding. It drops the item as listed in the location list above.

The encounter in the Wooded Kingdom changes the music to the variation, "Steam Gardens: Sherm". That song is otherwise played when fighting the rotating defense mechanism in the objective Path to the Secret Flower Field.

Yoofoe can take damage from a number of things other than Mario. In the Wooded Kingdom, the player can alternatively capture an Uproot or Glydon. In Bowser's Kingdom, Mario can throw a seed onto the top.
