Background

Hoohooros, is the ancient stone guardian of Hoohoo Mountain that appears in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. He was built by the ancient Hoohoo civilization.

When Mario and Luigi meet Hoohooros, the stone idol tests the brothers' ability to use the Spin Jump technique through a timed minigame: the Mario Bros. must get 10 Hoohoo Spirits within a time limit of 30 seconds (35 seconds in the remake) using their Spin Jump, without falling on the ground once. After completing the minigame, he gives the Bros. their next test: fight the stone guardian himself. He then takes on a darker and more shadowy form before starting the battle. Upon defeat, Hoohooros congratulates them and allows Mario and Luigi to proceed with their next "test" of reaching the mountain's summit. The surrounding Hooroglyphs glow as a platform extends out for the Bros. to High Jump onto and resume their climb.

Standard Tactics: Hoohooros will slip into the ground and go into one of his erected pillars to shoot lasers while defending himself from damage.

Weaknesses: Nothing notable.

Note: In Paper Mario Color Splash, the main point of the game is paint. Paint is a concept. As shown in the game, paint encompasses everything. And I mean everything. Paint is shown to be all of land, liquid, life (Once bringing Toad back via paint, Huey states that paint gives life. Additionally, paint can return the blood, organs, and skin to an old fossil that's been dead years ago), mind (Paint can speak to your mind by coloring your thoughts. Paint was able to take over Bowser's body and freely act on their own. Big Paint Stars are also shown to be alive), memory (Toad couldn't remember anything with the loss of paint on his head. Returning paint gave his memories back), emotions, space (even simple holes require paint to function as holes) and souls. Removing any paint would stop making anything work. It's everything.
