"Ladies and gentleman, boos and ghouls, presenting the conjurer of curious creations, the master of magic, the illustrator of illusions, the supernatural sultan of sorcery, the great...BOODINI!!...quite the introduction if i do say so myself. now, do we have a volunteer?"

boodini is a dark boo, who, despite his intimidating appearance, never fails to bring awe into the lives of those who see his performances. always the gentleman, he holds himself in a dignified manner at all times, maintaining a cool and level perspective. his goal in afterlife is to become the greatest magician the mushroom kingdom has ever seen. surely, traveling with the well-known mario will help him, yes?

as you can imagine, boodini is a magic based character, often using his wand to attack. his regular attack is simply sending out a yellow beam of light. when the "B" button is pressed at the right time, the wand sends out a more powerful green beam, doing more damage and a perfect timing bonus causes the attack to backlash to nearby enemies for 2 points of damage each..

other abilities allow him to render mario transparent, and use his natural boo "charm" to frighten off weaker enemies.

for special attacks that require use of the point system, the only four i have so far are these:

the first is what he calls "transmutation".
an order of buttons appear in three sequences, you're given 2.5 seconds to complete the first sequence, 2 seconds for the second, and 1.75 seconds for the third. if you manage to press the majority of buttons correctly, boodini will shrink whatever enemy you were targeting. if you manage to hit all the buttons in order correctly, then he will turn whatever enemy you were targeting into a goomba. (this will obviously fail on any boss battle; instead they'll just be temporarily shrunk). if you miss the majority of the buttons, the spell will backfire, and depending on the severity, it will either heal the targeted enemy, or, in the worse case, make them larger and stronger.

second would be "cheep cheep flock"
boodini spins his wand (you spin the control stick/wiimote) as fast as he can in the span of five seconds. for each complete spin, there's a better chance of him confusing multiple enemies by summoning a flock of cheep cheep from the sky to send them spinning.
3 spins - 30%
6 spins - 50%
9 spins - 70%
12 or more - 90%

third is "sheep sheep flock"
boodini spins his wand (you spin the control stick/wiimote) as fast as he can in the span of five seconds. for each complete spin, there's a better chance of him putting enemies to sleep with a flock of sheep he summons from the sky.
3 spins - 20%
6 spins - 40%
9 spins - 60%
12 or more - 80%

obviously the above two attacks would have even less of a chance of working on bosses, but that's a given. XD

another special attack would be his "rabbit fire cannon"
boodini takes off his hat and aims the open end at the targeted enemy, during which time you press the "B" button as many times as you can within 5 seconds. a rabbit launches out of the hat into the enemy for every time you hit the button, and for every 3 times you hit it, the enemy takes 3 points of damage. this damage increases as boodini levels up.

well, it was really fun making this guy, and i don't think i made him too broken, considering that in my head he'd be one of the later party members that join you in whatever paper mario game he'd be in. XD

anyways, enjoy. XD

hope you like it!
