'''Kretin''' (known as '''Keratin''' in the | '''Kretin''' (known as '''Keratin''' in the British English version) is a molecule with two forms called '''Alpha Kretin''' and '''Beta Kretin''' ('''Alpha Keratin''' and '''Beta Keratin''' in the British Englisih version) who, in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', kidnaps [[Princess Peach]]. After a long chase in the [[Flab Zone]], [[Mario]] & [[Luigi]] finally reached Kretin. Using the spin move, Mario and Luigi free Peach from the grips of it, but immediately get attacked by Kretin. Just before the battle, Luigi asks [[Starlow]] to fight Kretin instead of him. Starlow doesn't like his idea and smacks Luigi into Kretin, starting the battle. | ||
In battle, Kretin will begin in its Alpha Kretin form. Each individual unit of Kretin can be either red (with angry eyes in the remake) or green (with shocked eyes in the remake), and can only be damaged by the Mario brother of the corresponding color. When one unit receives enough damage, it turns blue (with closed eyes in the remake) and is defeated. After all the six parts of Kretin are blue, it will fall apart. Five units disappear, but one remains. It will proceed to create five clones in a hexagon pattern. These clones are very weak and are defeated in a single attack. If a duplicate is defeated, the real Kretin will simply create another on the next turn. Creating a new clone does not take up a full turn; Kretin can recreate the duplicate and attack in the same turn. | In battle, Kretin will begin in its Alpha Kretin form.

*In the original game, using Bros. Attacks (e.g. [[Fire Flower]]) counts as attacking either red or green Kretins simultaneously if either Mario or Luigi are using the Bros. Attack. This was changed in the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]] to block attacks if both Mario and Luigi are attacking. | *In the original game, using Bros.
