- —Sorrow Fist, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Sorrow Fist is a character that appears in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, as one of Big Massif's four Hooraw disciples that must be fought in the Beef-off. He is a thin Hooraw with blue hair and pants, a sad face and an inferiority complex, with his dialogue boxes giving him small text. Of the Hooraw disciples, Sorrow Fist has the highest HP, the second-to-lowest DEF and SPEED and the second-to-highest POW. Sorrow Fist and the other Hooraws show up when Mario and Dreamy Luigi arrive at the tour center at Dreamy Wakeport, where they and the tour guide explain that they must be defeated in order to face Big Massif himself. The Hooraws then go to hide; Sorrow Fist retreats down the blue pipe in the next room.
During the cutscene before he is fought, Sorrow Fist will cry due to his self-perceived weakness. Luigi tries to cheer him up by telling him that fighting can make him stronger. After some convincing, Sorrow Fist decides to cast aside his cowardice and fight, muttering that "if he can beat Mario and Luigi, he will totally get buffer".
In battle, Sorrow Fist surrounds himself with Hooraws, as with his fellow Hooraw Disciples (sans Beef Cloud). In order to defeat him, Mario must have all of his attacks end up with Excellent! ratings -- anything short of that requirement will cause him to be healed of all damage taken so far. In one attack, a seashell will drop from the sky, which Sorrow Fist will hit, sending it flying at Mario, and can be reflected with the Hammer. If the Hooraw minions that Sorrow Fist summoned panic before he hits it, he will hit it after a delay; otherwise, Sorrow Fist will send it at Mario immediately. Sorrow Fist will also charge at Mario, flailing his arms, which can be countered by jumping on him if his arm is waving forward, but must be jumped over if Sorrow Fist waves his arm upwards.
The Hooraws show up once again to watch their master take on Mario and Dreamy Luigi, and leave after he is defeated.
Sorrow Fist is a reference to the four temperaments, representing the personality type melancholic (being sad and depressed).
