Intelligence: While in Bowser Jr.'s Journey Morton speaks like a caveman, and is described by Dieter to have ten brain cells, he does have the idea to win Bowser Jr. over using food, something that Ludwig even comments on, saying Morton is smarter than he looks and sounds. In addition, Morton has commanded troops many times before, and, in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Morton has the common sense to tell Lemmy and Iggy to stop arguing and fire the cannon,Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam; 2015; Final Smash and to be cautious of Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario after they defeat four Koopalings.
Weaknesses: None notable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Shell: Morton enters his shell and starts spinning, then either jumps around or slides along the ground.
* Ground Pound: Morton jumps up, then does a flip and slams down, either on an opponent or on the ground, potentially staggering anyone on the ground nearby and creating shockwaves.
