BACKGROUND:
Magmites are strange creatures - half insect and half rock, their closest
relative in the Mushroom Kingdom is Buzzy Beetle, but the two species
are too far apart to be considered close relatives.
Magmites are mostly known for inhabiting the mines around Moleville. They aren't malicious, but can be dangerous if provoked. They usually feed on rocks, but sometimes eat insects or rodents that enter the mines.
These animals have no affiliations; they are wild.
QUOTES:
"Got a thorn in my foot." -SMRPG (hidden quote)
STATS AND STRATEGIES:
Games: Super Mario RPG
HP: 26
Offense: 45 (Normal) 3 (Magic)
Defense: 70 (Normal) 1 (Magic)
Speed: Fairly slow.
Items: 1 coin, and sometimes Lucky during battle.
Points: 5
Attack Pattern: On the map screen, they
follow Mario around slowly. In battle, they seem to use only regular attacks.
Battle Plan: These guys should probably
be your first target in most battles. They can often be beaten with a single timed attack, whereas most of the other enemies in the mines cannot. You may want to take on Bob-ombs before Magmites, because of their self-destructive attacks.
Advanced Strategies: Mallow's Thunder attack is an excellent choice against a group of Magmites. It will take them all out at once. Fire is also OK, although it costs a lot of FP. Jump attacks won't work...except possibly if you have some Jump Shoes.
When a Magmite attacks, it will run up to you, bounce twice, and then attack. Try to hit A right after the second bounce.
