Jojora's Friends, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Jojora's Friends are four friends from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga who are all mutually friendly with Jojora. The girls are named Chucklissa, Oholina, Hoohoolia, and Teeheena. They all have the same appearance and are possibly the same person. They have snowball-like bodies, white faces, and muscular arms. They are all named after places in the Beanbean Kingdom: Chucklehuck Woods, Oho Oasis, Hoohoo Mountain/Village, and Teehee Valley, respectively. As a result, the names are all related to onomatopoeia for laughter. One of the selected friends is the boss of Joke's End, the icy castle that is the second to last world of the game.

When the Mario Bros. reach the top of Joke's End, Jojora invites them to a tea party and asks them which of her friends they want to meet, and the player can choose. The friend ends up attacking the Bros. when she appears along with Jojora. Jojora's friends still pretend to have a tea party and they sometimes put on makeup and try to kiss Mario and Luigi. This attack can be countered with a Jump. It may also cause the poison status effect. The Bros. should not hurt Jojora's friend when Jojora is around, or Jojora will bury the Bros. in snow (prevented by pressing A Button and B Button rapidly), as well as restoring 18 HP to her and 60 HP to her friend. The friend can either be healed or take critical damage from the Bros., depending on her makeup: the monster is healed with Firebrand (so Thunderhand is effective) when she has makeup, and healed with Thunderhand when she does not (so Firebrand is effective). The makeup increases the defense of the friend wearing it at the cost of speed. The friend also has the ability to turn into a snowball and crush the Bros. (A well-timed Hammer strike counters this attack.) If she winks her right eye before performing this attack, she is targeting Mario; if she winks her left eye, Luigi is the victim. She melts after being defeated. It is unknown if any of these friends are the "cousin of the descendant of the spirit who guarded Joke's End", mentioned by Jojora when Mario and Luigi first entered the frozen palace.
