The Fenomeno is an enemy that appears in Mother 3. It appears in the cavern underneath the Empire Porky Building, where the final Needle is held, and is often paired with Minerali. Both the Minerali (Italian minerals) and Fenomeno (Italian phenomenon) are references to enemies in EarthBound that were represented in the overworld by a giant octahedron or a spark, respectively. In addition to its name, the Battle Memory suggest that Fenomeno are pulses of energy emanated by the last Needle.
