Miitopia [3DS, NS] – Hamburger / Mii

Media: video game: “Miitopia”
Developer: Nintendo EPD
Platform: Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch

Description:

Upon reaching the Travelers’ Hub, the player is able to accept a quest from a chef Mii who wants to find a Hamburger, which turns out to be a boss monster of Peculia.

The giant Hamburger will occasionally grab a player Mii with their long tongue and hold them in their mouth, making them unable to take actions for a few turns during battle. If the Mii’s turn comes while they are inside the Hamburger, they will momentarily struggle, causing the Hamburger to open its mouth briefly, during which the trapped Mii will speak, the dialogue of which will depend on that Mii’s personality – for example, the cool Mii will say “I’m melting…” After a few turns, the Hamburger will spit the Mii back out.

There are variants of the Hamburger: the Hamburger Surprise, and Extra Spicy Burger, both encountered as bosses from quests from the Travelers’ Hub, and the Gourmet Burger, found in the Tower of Despair in the Nintendo Switch version.
