Shadoo

Line 9:

'''Shadoo''' is the boss of the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]] the second time the four heroes reach Room 100 in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. While it was created by the [[Tribe of Ancients|Ancients]], it works for its "own cursed powers". When the [[Heroes of Light|four heroes]] make it to Room 100, it copies their abilities and uses shadowy clones to try to defeat them and take their places, in a bid to get revenge on the Ancients. Shadoo's name is a play on the words ''shadow'' and ''duplicate''; it may also be a pun on the words ''ado'' and ''doom''.

With all four forms combined, Shadoo is the strongest enemy in the game (having 400 HP altogether), even stronger than the game's final boss, [[Super Dimentio]], similar to the [[The Master]] being stronger than [[Bowser]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[Bonetail]] being stronger than the [[Shadow Queen]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Culex]] being stronger than [[Smithy]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', and [[~~Bowser#Bowser X|~~Bowser X]] being stronger than [[Dark Bowser]] or [[Dark Star Core]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Despite being the hardest boss, Bowser can easily defeat each form of Shadoo using his fire breath. Also, much like the fight with [[Mr. L]], when Shadoo is about to heal with a [[Shroom Shake]], the player can steal the shake by using [[Thoreau]].

Shadoo's true identity and backstory are never revealed; however, it bears some resemblance to the [[Pixl Queen]] discussed by [[Carson]].

At her command, Pixls everywhere rebelled against their Ancient masters.''" (Retrieved July 29, 2012)</ref>, similar to how Shadoo hated the Ancients and wished to use the Heroes' Pixl companions to exact its revenge. The Pixl Queen was also said to have "powers of illusion", which she used to hide from sight<ref>Carson's "More Pixl Uprising" story reads: "''the Pixl Queen used her powers of illusion to hide.''"</ref>, just as Shadoo hid itself, a Warp Pipe, and the clones. Furthermore, the details Pixl Queen's fate is not revealed, with Carson only stating that she was "defeated", with the Dark Prognosticus being "taken from her" after her defeat<ref>Carson's "Pixl Uprising's End" story reads: "''the last surviving apprentice took the Dark Prognosticus from the queen''"</ref>, suggesting she survived the battle (unlike the Pixl that helped defeat her)<ref>Carson's "More Pixl Uprising" story reads: "''[The apprentice] and his Pixl finally defeated the Pixl Queen.

Additionally, his speech bubble resembles the computer-type bubble used by characters like [[Tiptron]], [[Fracktail]], and [[Wracktail]], implying he is mechanical.
