Broodals

The Broodals are recurring bosses and the secondary antagonists of the video game Super Mario Odyssey. They are a group of villainous wedding planners hired by Bowser to help organize his wedding and marriage to Princess Peach.

Super Mario Odyssey
After Mario first lands in Bonneton and teams up with Cappy, he leaps to the roof of Top Hat Tower where he finds the Broodals waiting for him. Introducing themselves, the Broodal Topper explains that they already have what they came to the Cap Kingdom for (Cappy’s sister Tiara) and only stuck around because they were under contract to fight Mario. Topper hops down from the Broodals’ airship and attacks with his headwear, but Mario soon defeats him before heading to the next kingdom.

The Broodals meanwhile began scouring the globe for treasured items Bowser needs for his wedding. Although Mario and Cappy manages to track down and defeat every member of the villainous group, the Broodals were still successful in stealing a prized possession from each kingdom they visited. Eventually, all four Broodals are forced to battle the heroes using a giant mech called the RoboBrood in Bowser’s Kingdom. However, using Cappy’s capture ability, Mario destroys the RoboBrood and sent the Broodals flying over the horizon, putting an end to their interruptions during the pair’s quest.

After defeating Bowser and rescuing Peach, Mario and Cappy travel to the Broodals’ homeland on the dark side of the moon and can battle the now-vengeful Broodals at Rabbit Ridge. If each rabbit is beaten again and their RoboBrood is destroyed a second time, the heroes are rewarded with a Multi-Moon.
