—Emoglobin, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

Emoglobins are block-like creatures that appear inside Bowser's body in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story .

Emoglobins are often helpful, explaining to Mario and Luigi about how Bowser's body works. There are also rarer kinds that allow the Mario Bros. to save their game, like in the Rump Command. They are usually orange or yellow, and Mario or Luigi must jump to hit and talk with them. There are usually a few Emoglobins found in each part of Bowser's body. They are known for replacing random nouns with the word "globin" (e.g., "It's not globin science") and often putting "-ish" at the end of adjectives. In the European Spanish translation, Emoglobins speak in a poem-like way in a very refined Spanish with rhymes.

There are also special Emoglobins located in Toad Square and the Trash Pit. They are colored orange with green eyes. This type of globin secretes a sweat that restores both Mario's and Luigi's HP and SP, similar to Recovery Blocks. A Toad runs a shop in Toad Square and sells the sweat for 10 coins, while the other is free to use.

There is also a kind of Emoglobin in the Challenge Node that resembles a Nintendo DS. The one who manages the Gauntlet uses the Mario Bros.' memories to create stronger versions of the bosses that the Mario Bros. have encountered through the game, and it allows Mario and Luigi to fight these "X" bosses for a sizable fee.

Subspecies[edit ]

  • Evoglobin – a mystical part of Bowser's soul
  • Nutsoglobin – an Emoglobin who likes to quiz the Mario Bros. about Bowser
  • Liftoglobin – a nonverbal Emoglobin who can be used as a moving platform
  • Totemglobin – a tower of Emoglobins in the Airway that have the Mario Bros. play their game before letting them pass.
