Swabbie

Swabbies are the backbone of Mashtooth[1]'s army - in other words, they do all the dirty work. Swabbies are first met in Pufftop[2], although you do not get to fight them right away. You first get to fight them on Planet Bunnera[3]. There are 4 types of Swabbie - Land, Sky, Space, and Sea.

Land Swabbies - Land Swabbies are first encountered in the game in Pufftop, but are later able to be fought on Planet Bunnera, Stage 2 - Modo[4]'s Cosmic Express[5]. Their main form of attack is charging, but if you try to jump over them, they jump up and hit you. You needn't worry - one good Star Spin[6] and these Swabbies will be swabbing the poop deck! (Ha ha - bad joke)

Sky Swabbies - Sky Swabbies are first encountered on Planet Bunnera in Modo's Cosmic Express. They float around by strapping balloons to their pants. Their main form of attack is throwing moon rocks at you. Don't worry though - one Star Spin and you'll "knock him down" to size! (Ha ha - another bad joke)

Space Swabbies - Space Swabbies are also, once again, first encountered on Planet Bunnera - but not on the Cosmic Express. They can be found bounding and frolicking throughout the oustskirts of Planet Bunnera. They wear a little white spacesuit, and their main form of attack is jumping. Due to low gravity, they can jump pretty high. But so can you, so relax - just one Star Spin and these little astronauts will be saying " Uh, Mashtooth - we have a problem."! (Another bad joke)

Sea Swabbies - Finally, Sea Swabbies are found in - yep, you guessed get - Pufftop! You can only defeat them as Starly[7] in Stage 9. They swim around and wear a little green wetsuit and goggles. Their main form of attack is swimming at you. You don't need to worry about this one either - only one Star Spin and this guy's " ship will be sunk"! (Seriously, what's with all the bad jokes?!?!)
