Template:Species-infobox The Yoofoe[1], also spelled Yoo-foe[2] is a miniboss-like hat-shaped enemy that debuts in Super Mario Odyssey. Its name is a pun on the words "UFO" and "foe".
Description
The Yoofoe resembles a flying saucer UFO. It has a purple Ground Pound symbol on its head followed by an inward facing black ring along the midsection of the enemy with a menacing red eye in the front of that black ring. The bottom section consists of a silver-colored dome-like structure. This enemy makes three appearances in the game; one in the Wooded Kingdom, another in Bowser's Kingdom and the last in the Darker Side. Each time it is defeated, Mario is rewarded one Power Moon, with the exception being the Darker Side in which a Life-Up Heart is rewarded instead.
Tactics
Initially, upon noticing Mario, the Yoofoe makes a piston noise and then shoots out five Goombas from its bottom. After this, it emits a red circular laser followed by two short razor bars. It then moves about the stage while rotating these bars. As it moves, it shoots out one small Spiked Ball followed by one Goomba. It repeats this pattern until Mario ground pounds it from above. After getting hit once, it electrocutes itself (thus knocking Mario off its head) and makes all the previously spawned Goombas disappear. It then expels a much larger red circular laser followed by four long razor bars instead of two short ones. It continues its previous pattern at this point, however every time it releases a Goomba, it spins its razor bars rapidly. Thus Mario can only Ground Pound the Yoofoe when it is not spinning.
Upon defeat, a short cutscene plays with the Yoofoe spinning out of control and exploding into a Power Moon.
Trivia
- All of the Power Moons received from defeating the Yoofoe are titled "Invader in (area)" implying that the Yoofoe is an alien invader.
