Jojora

Jojora is a minor character making her debut in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Her name may be a pun on "Jojo" and "Aurora". She is a small snow sprite who lives in Joke's End, which is located northeast of the area.

Biography
When she and the Mario Brothers meet up at the gates, Jojora claims to be the friend of someone whose cousin's ancestor first owned the place. Mario and Luigi, curious, follow her inside the old ice palace. She sets off trial after trial which they have to complete as they follow her. Eventually, she stops in the room upstairs. Mario and Luigi find her there, and she is pleased at their perseverance, and asks them to invite her friends for a tea party. However, these people turn out to be giant snowball-like creatures and can pack a punch due to their size, and Mario and Luigi have to fight them and Jojora in a boss fight, and she gets angry when her friends get hurt.

Upon their defeat, Jojora runs off crying while her friend disappears.

Jojora returns in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga 3DS with the same role.

Battle Patterns
Jojora kicks off her battle when her friends appear. On her turn, she may walk up to a bro and raise a stalagmite to deal some damage. This can cause Heavy Gravity or Poisoning. Mario and Luigi can use their hammer to block this, at which point Jojora loses her grip on her wand and is therefore "knocked out of the battle" for a few turns (though no more than 3). If her friends are hit, she will counterattack with a snowstorm that heals her side of the battle. Mario and Luigi must jump repeatedly to escape.

Jojora's friends can kiss the Bros. or crush them with a snowball. The former can be dodged with a jump, and the latter with the hammer. The target for the latter attack can be telegraphed by which of their eyes the friends wink. If right, their target is Mario. If left, their target is Luigi. Getting hit with either attack causes some damage and possibly poisoning. Jojora will automatically be defeated on her turn (saying, "What did you jerks do to my friend!? How dare you! You are so uncool!", though she will not drop loot or experience) if her friends are defeated beforehand.

Her battle system is similar to Popple the Shadow Thief, except Popple says, "Boo! I say! I'll remember this!" before making his retreat.
