Oucher Glass is an enemy which appears in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They make their lair in the Guffawha Ruins area and Luigi must face them alone.
== Profile ==
=== Physical description ===
Oucher Glasses are hourglass-like enemies with two faces on each side: a sad looking face and an angry looking face. In the remake, the sad face has been changed to a happy looking face. The way their faces are arranged serves as a telegraph for which attack to expect from them, with one of their faces having wide eyes and the other having small black eyes and eyebrows. In the 3DS remake, they also shift and wiggle in-battle.
== In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga/Bowser's Minions ==
Oucher Glasses are unique enemies that possess two different attacks depending on what face is currently shown. They accompany Elite Chuck Guys during battles.
=== Strategy ===
If their wide-eyed face is shown on bottom, then Oucher Glasses will attack with a sand ball move that can be blocked if the target uses his hammer to break the ball. If the wide-eyed face is shown on top, the Oucher Glass will attack oddly with a sand fist that must be jumped. The way to defeat Oucher Glasses is simple as it only requires any type of moves. The sand ball can stun the victim, while the fist causes them to have increased gravity.
Jumping, hammer strikes, the Firebrand, Splash Bros., Bounce Bros., Chopper Bros., Knockback Bros., Swing Bros., Cyclone Bros., and Fire Bros. deal normal damage to the Oucher Glass, while the Thunderhand and Thunder Bros. deal double damage to the enemy. Additionally, STAT-Down effects are the only Status Effects that can affect them.

Their Spanish name is "Reloj Arena," which means "sand clock," and the Italian version calls them "sclessidra" (from clessidra ("hourglass")). The French version of the game simply calls them "hourglasses" (French sablier). Chinese calls them "hourglass goblins" (Shālòu Xiǎoyāo; written 沙漏小妖).
