'''Mammoshka''' is a boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Found near the top of [[Mount Pajamaja]], this mammoth-like creature acts as a guardian for the mountain, and it is battled by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in their journey to the mountain's summit. Its name is a pun on "[[Wikipedia:Mammoth|mammoth]]" and "mamushka" (an alternate, erroneous name for [[Wikipedia:Matryoshka doll|Matryoshka]] dolls), both of which form its basis. | '''Mammoshka''' is a boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.

Mammoshka can also go into the background and ram the cliff-side to summon an enormous rock, which it throws towards Mario and Luigi. The brothers must simultaneously hammer the rock as it falls towards them, knocking it back into the air; after several hits, the rock will fly back at Mammoshka, damaging it (or breaking off its helmet). If the Mario Bros. get hit with the rock they will take large damage and may get [[dizzy]]. | Mammoshka can also go into the background and ram the cliff-side to summon an enormous rock, which it throws towards Mario and Luigi.

If Mario jumps over Luigi, they both avoid taking damage; if he fails to dodge, they'll both get trampled by Mammoshka. If Mario jumps right on top of Luigi, they both avoid damage and damages Mammoshka in turn. | ||
Another of Mammoshka's attacks is to chase Mario and Luigi down the mountain, trying to suck them into its trunk while gradually moving side-to-side. If Mario and Luigi dodge its attacks, it eventually ends the chase, but if one brother is sucked in, he is then be shot out towards the one remaining, who has to then jump over him as he fly down the screen. This attack may cause [[POW-Down]]. Then, Mammoshka tries to fake its attacks; the real attack comes when the trapped brother's head and arms are visible on the end of Mammoshka's trunk. | Another of Mammoshka's attacks is to chase Mario and Luigi down the mountain, trying to suck them into its trunk while gradually moving side-to-side.

During the battle, some [[Block Monolift]]s may appear to aid Mammoshka. These enemies carry different helmets inside blocks of ice on their heads, and if they're not defeated, they give Mammoshka a helmet, a spiked helmet, or a pail to protect it from Mario and Luigi's jump based attacks, | During the battle, some [[Block Monolift]]s may appear to aid Mammoshka. These enemies carry different helmets inside blocks of ice on their heads, and if they're not defeated, they give Mammoshka a helmet, a spiked helmet, or a pail to protect it from Mario and Luigi's jump based attacks, its weakness. The headwear can be destroyed by jumping on it or by countering its rock or Luigi-chase attacks, although if it is the spike helmet, only the rock attack can destroy it. | ||
When Mammoshka's health is low, its armor starts to crack, revealing a smaller version of itself underneath. Mario and Luigi then chases the boss as it flees down the mountain, jumping on its head to continue breaking its armor. With proper timing ("A" for Mario, "B" for Luigi), Mammoshka's outer shell gradually shrinks to nothing, revealing its true form. After one last jump to its head from Mario or Luigi at this point, Mammoshka is defeated. | When Mammoshka's health is low, its armor starts to crack, revealing a smaller version of itself underneath.
