Komboos[1] are walking giant kelp-like creatures with eyes found in the Lake Kingdom and Seaside Kingdom of Super Mario Odyssey . They have four legs, come in one of two heights, and can be green, yellow, and purple.

History[edit ]

Super Mario Odyssey[edit ]

In Super Mario Odyssey , Komboos are normally found in chasms in Lake Lamode and Bubblaine. If Mario swims to their spawning point, Komboo will emerge and start walking in a swaying motion towards Mario. They often appear in groups, adding to the challenge. Additionally, some Komboo walk on the ceiling of a cave. Komboo stick to their current platform and cannot fall off to pursue further. If lured far enough, a Komboo retreats into the ground and returns to its starting position.

In the Seaside Kingdom, activating certain glowing spots cause a group of Komboos to appear surrounding the spot, though these do not respawn.

The Cap Throw defeats these enemies, further meaning they cannot be captured. Attacks from other captured enemies can also defeat them. Jumping on Komboo has no effect, but a Ground Pound defeats them. Defeating Komboo only offers brief respite, as they will continue to respawn from the same position.

The "Bubblaine Northern Reaches" Power Moon is obtained through fighting a number of these enemies at a group of glowing spots in Bubblaine, where each spot triggers a new set of spawns and obtaining the Power Moon makes them all sink back into the sand.

Minecraft[edit ]

In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in Minecraft , Kelp is replaced by Komboos.
