'''Hoohooros''' is the ancient stone guardian of [[Hoohoo Mountain]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. It was built by the ancient [[Hoohoo civilization]]. Hoohooros resembles the top half of a man, albeit more angular and grey (gold in its normal form), and without any visible hands or fingers at the ends of its arms. Its name is a pun on "hoohoo."


'''Hoohooros''' is the ancient stone guardian of [[Hoohoo Mountain]], in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. He was built by the ancient [[Hoohooligan]] [[Hoohoo Civilization|civilization]].  
When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] meet Hoohooros, the stone idol tests the brothers' ability to use the [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]] technique through a timed [[minigame]]: the Mario Bros. must get 10 [[Hoohoo Spirit]]s within a time limit of 30 seconds (35 seconds in the remake) using their Spin Jump, without falling on the ground once. After completing the minigame, it gives the Bros. their next test: fight the stone guardian itself. It then takes on a darker and more shadowy form before starting the battle. Upon defeat, Hoohooros congratulates them and allows Mario and Luigi to proceed with their next "test" of reaching the mountain's summit. The surrounding [[Hooroglyphs]] glow as a platform extends out for the Bros. to [[High Jump]] onto and resume their climb.

==Battle==
At the start of the battle, Hoohooros hides within one of two [[Hooroglyph]]-covered pillars. Each of the pillars attack by drawing energy from the ground or the other pillar, and fire a laser at Mario or Luigi which must be dodged by [[jump]]ing. Destroying the pillar Hoohooros is hiding under causes it to move to the other pillar and summon another to replace it (Hoohooros will have an ellipsis appear above its head a few seconds before it moves). This requires the Bros. to break the other pillar first; destroying Hoohooros's pillar after will cause him to move out into the open, where it can be damaged. While exposed, Hoohooros attacks by firing a laser beam that sweeps across the ground; the Mario Bros. must jump over it one at a time. After a couple of turns, the stone guardian attempts to move to the other pillar as usual, but remains exposed if it is not present.


When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] meet Hoohooros, the stone idol tests the brothers' ability to use the [[Spin Jump]] technique through a timed [[minigame]], the goal of which is to get 10 [[Hoohoo Spirit|Hoohoo Spirits]] within the time limit of 30 seconds (35 seconds in the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]]) without falling onto the ground. After completing the minigame, the brothers have to fight the stone guardian himself.  
In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', Hoohooros gains the [[Fury]] status upon losing half its HP or more, and begins attacking faster and more often each turn like most other bosses.


Hoohooros immediately creates pillars that he hides behind at the start of the battle, and will use them to fire lasers from one at the Bros. The brothers must destroy the pillar that he is not hiding beneath, then the one protecting Hoohooros. He will attempt to move to the other pillar, and becomes confused when it is not there. The brothers must quickly attack Hoohooros, as pillars will quickly begin to respawn. Hoohooros' only attack while exposed is to fire a laser beam that sweeps across the ground; the brothers must jump over it one at a time. After being defeated, the stone guardian relents and allows the brothers to journey to the summit.

==Trivia==
*In the E3 2003 demo of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Hoohooros is given the rough translation of "Ufross".<ref>Hard4Games (October 24, 2023). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bZFyCBEPHY&t=133s LOST BETA VERSION! Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 26, 2023.</ref> Additionally, the boss dialog is given a rough translation.<ref>Skawo (October 25, 2023). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBnYXSOFEIM&t=138s <nowiki>[TCRF]</nowiki> Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga Demo Indepth Look - Part 2]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 26, 2023.</ref>
*There is a glitch that can trigger if Mario and Luigi destroy the pillar that Hoohooros is hiding under with one of their [[Bros. Attack]]s and learn that Bros. Attack's [[Super Attack|Advanced Command]]. If that happens when the opposite pillar is still out of commission, instead of attacking, it will watch the Bros. forever. To fix this glitch, the player must turn off the [[Game Boy Advance]].
