The '''Yoofoe''',<ref>Walsh, Doug, and Epstein, Jeffrey. ''Super Mario Odyssey'' Prima Official Guide. Page 347.</ref> also spelled '''Yoo-foe''',<ref>Walsh, Doug, and Epstein, Jeffrey (2017). ''Super Mario Odyssey: [[Prima Games|Prima]] Collector's Edition Guide'', page 233.</ref> is a miniboss-like enemy that debuts in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Its name is a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of "UFO" and "foe".
==Description== 
The Yoofoe resembles a flying saucer [[UFO]] and a top hat. It has a purple [[Ground Pound]] symbol on its head followed by an inward facing black ring along the midsection of the enemy with a menacing red eye in the front of that black ring. The bottom section consists of a silver-colored dome-like structure. This enemy makes three appearances in the game: one in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], another in [[Bowser's Kingdom]] and the last in the [[Darker Side]]. Upon defeat, a short cutscene plays with the Yoofoe spinning out of control and exploding. [[Mario]] is then rewarded one [[Power Moon]], with the exception being the Darker Side in which a [[Life-Up Heart]] is rewarded instead. The Yoofoe is an alien invader, as suggested by the titles of the Power Moons received from it ("[[List of Power Moons in the Wooded Kingdom#Invader in the Sky Garden|Invader in the Sky Garden]]" and "[[List of Power Moons in Bowser's Kingdom#Invader in Bowser's Castle|Invader in Bowser's Castle]]").

==Tactics==
[[File:SMO Yoofoe Stage 1.jpg|thumb|left|The Yoofoe's first stage.]]
[[File:SMO Yoofoe Stage 2.jpg|thumb|The Yoofoe's second stage.]]
Initially, upon noticing Mario, the Yoofoe makes a piston noise and then shoots out five [[Goomba]]s from its bottom. After this, it emits a red circular laser followed by two short razor bars. It then moves about the stage while rotating these bars. As it moves, it shoots out one small [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]] followed by one Goomba. It repeats this pattern until Mario jumps on it from above. After getting hit once, it knocks Mario off its head and makes all the previously spawned Goombas disappear. It then expels a much larger red circular laser followed by four long razor bars instead of two short ones. It continues its previous pattern at this point, though every time it releases a Goomba, it spins its razor bars rapidly, thus Mario can only jump on the Yoofoe when it is not spinning.

If there are eight Goombas that have been spawned by the Yoofoe out at once, no more are spawned, and if all eight Goombas are made into a [[Goomba Tower]], the Yoofoe stops dropping [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]]s. 

As shown in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], the player can alternatively capture an [[Uproot]] to hit the Yoofoe.

As shown in [[Bowser's Kingdom]], the Yoofoe can get hit on the top by [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seeds]] thrown by Mario.
