Mechawfuls are enemies which appear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, its remake Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, and Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser within Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story[]

They are encountered in Peach's Castle Garden. In the overworld, they usually wander around, but if they spot the Mario Bros., they will fly up and attempt to crush the Bros., triggering a fight. The Mechawfuls will take a while to fly back up, thus becoming vulnerable to a preemptive strike.

In battle, Mechawfuls can attack by falling onto their target; this must be blocked by smashing them with a Hammer. The target can be identified by which Bro. has smoke around him. A second attack involves jumping in front of a Mario brother. That brother has to use his hammer to smash the Mechawful, lest it punches him. If the brother does use his hammer, the Mechawful's lights will cycle between the three primary colours of paint. The brother must strike the Mechawful with his hammer when blue lights appear, causing the Mechawful to retreat. If the light is yellow, the Mechawful punches the Bro. as though the first Hammer strike wasn't used. If the light is red, the Mechawful destroys itself, burning the target.

After enough damage, the head detaches from the body. The head can use the same stomp attack that the full Mechawful used. Mechawfuls can alternatively rebuild their body to continue the fight or run from battle.

In Minion Quest[]

Mechawfuls are unobtainable enemies. The three types are Mechawful X (Melee-type), Mechawful Y (Flying-type), and Mechawful Z (Ranged-type).

They first appear in a cutscene where Fawful is ruining Beanbean Town. Their only appearance in battle is in the final level, Believe in Bowser, where Fawful sics all three of them on Captain Goomba's squadron.

Name[]

Etymology[]

"Mechawful" is derived from "mecha," from Greek "mékhanē" (machine) and Fawful's name.

In other languages[]

The Japanese version calls Mechawfuls "Mekakobittsu" (written メカコビッツ; from "mecha" and "Gerakobittsu" (ゲラコビッツ), which Fawful uses for his Japanese name). The French dub calls them "Mécacowitz" (derived from mécanique (mechanical) and Gracowitz (Fawful's French name)), while the German dub calls them "Krankomat" (derived from Kankfried (Fawful's German name) and automat (machine; derived from Greek autómatos (automaton). In Italian, Mechawfuls are called "Marchinghigni" (singular Marchingigno; derived from marchingegno (gimmick), with the change from GE to GHI after Marchin- being derived from Fawful's Italian name, Sogghigno), and the Spanish dub refers to them as "Mecánovitz," derived from "mecánico" (mechanical) and Fawful's Spanish name "Grácovitz."
