I have one idea for a duplighost ally: there could be a "kid" duplighost whose transformation abilities aren't advanced enough for turning he and Mario into other people properly, but inanimate objects just so enemies would avoid them, alike SMB3's Tanooki Suit. In battle, one of this guy's moves makes him focus on his powers and turn change into the form of an enemy. Because of his beginning transformation skills, it would only last for a limited number of turns. It would require a lot of FP though, depending on the enemy, and bosses require extremely high amounts of FP. It would also take a lot FP when the player decides to transform the duplighost into the form of another ally as a substitute if the original ally has fallen, however, like changing into enemies, is for a limited number of turns. Here is a list of abilities I came up with that the duplighost would have during battle:
Body Slam- Flies into the air and dives at the enemy. This is a basic attack, therefore no FP is used.
Disguise- Turns he and Mario into inanimate objects, withstanding enemy damage.
Weapon- Turns into an inanimate object that damages the enemy depending on how the action command is carried out by the player (i.e. Baseball and Bat).
Substitute- Takes the form of a fallen ally.
Imitate- Takes the form of an enemy.
Hurry Up The Cakes!
