Elite Wizzerds are enemies in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are the most powerful variant of Wizzerd, and are encountered on the lowest floors of the Pit of 100 Trials. Like their relatives, the Wizzerds and Dark Wizzerds, Elite Wizzerds are half-machine, half-ancient organic beings presumably created by the Shadow Queen. Elite Wizzerds can be visually distinguished from their white head, blue hands, and green mouth.

History[]

Elite Wizzerd

The Elite Wizzerd as seen in-game.

These enemies are the most powerful tier of Wizzerd. Many options are open to the Elite Wizzard and combating one can be difficult: they have the best versions, of both previous types' powers, and then some. These enemies are found only in the final stages of the Pit of 100 Trials. There is a good chance that the 99th floor of the Pit consists of a fight with five of these Elite Wizzerds, making it a very problematic fight. These foes can also use some of the most powerful items in the game, including both the Shooting Star and Ultra Shroom. The Elite Wizzerd may surprise the player with its high defense, which neither previous version possesses.

There can be up to 5 at once, and taking into account that Mario's stats are probably low from fighting deep into the Pit, he can lose easily. These are impossibly hard enemies and have a huge defense stat that exceeds that of most enemies. Art Attack, Koops's Shell Slam, and Bobbery's Bob-ombast work best but if Art Attack is unavailable, Shooting Stars also work. If Mario can, he can try to Superguard, even though their thin green laser attacks are tough to time, Mario can use a Sweet Feast to restore his and his parners' HP and FP if it is running low. The lasers are defense-penetrating, making all Defend-upgrading badges useless except for P-Down, D-Up P.

When this enemy doesn't have any allies in the battlefield, it's best to have Vivian set it on fire with either Shade Fist or Fiery Jinx, so its illusion trick will keep failing.
