Buffoons emerge when villains fuse ordinary objects with clown-like noses, which form their core and vary in color. Each Buffoon manifests as a distorted version of its source object, universally featuring circular eyes with red markings, white gloves, oversized limbs, and a protruding tongue. Their abilities derive directly from the fused object—for instance, a volleyball-based Buffoon manipulates high-speed projectiles, while a mirror-spawned duplicate creates illusory copies. Common combat traits include physical strength, exceptional jumping prowess, and whip-like tongue attacks. Nose color dictates distinct Buffoon types: - **Red-nosed Buffoons**: Common and vulnerable to individual purification by Glitter Force warriors, each yields one Glitter Charm upon defeat. - **Blue-nosed Buffoons**: Immune to purification due to lacking Glitter Charm fragments; defeated solely by the Tiara Mode Torrent group attack and drop no charms. - **Yellow-nosed Buffoons**: Functionally identical to red-nosed variants but exclusively summoned by Rascal, capable of disguising as mundane objects. - **Super Buffoons**: Forged from fused crimson noses, these enhanced entities possess speech, resist individual attacks and Tiara Mode Torrent, and drop multiple charms. Only the Rainbow Burst group attack can defeat them. - **Green-nosed Buffoons**: Non-combat types appearing solely in a game world episode, serving passive roles like whack-a-moles or bowling pins. - **Twilight Buffoons**: Created by coating noses with black paint for unhappy endings, piloted by villains whose facial markings they reflect. Impervious to all standard attacks, Tiara Mode Torrent, and Rainbow Burst, they require destruction of the paint via the Royal Clock’s power followed by a lesser attack, or a Royal Rainbow Burst. Pilots suffer pain and weakness post-destruction. Buffoons originate from Glitter Charms—fragments of Queen Euphoria’s power corrupted into noses—activated by villains like Ulric, Brute, Brooha, or Rascal. The term "Buffoon" localizes the Japanese "Akanbe," referencing a mocking gesture (pulling down an eyelid while protruding the tongue), adapted for English cultural accessibility.
