WORLD 5-2. THE DEADLY BOSS TRIO

FLEET GLIDE GALAXY

(GALAXIA DESCENSO TORTUOSO) 

FLUZZARD´S WILD BATTLEFIELD GLIDE

(SOBREVOLANDO EL CAMPO DE BATALLA)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

Fluzzard´s back!!! And after feeding a really Hungry Luma with thousands of Star Bits, we´re arriving at a Galaxy with plenty of monsters, but with really good graphs. Mario must glide before all the battlefield crashes. It is a freaking difficult Galaxy, because Fluzzard´s controls are really difficult. It is easy to kill yourself by stomping on the walls, so the 6-Energy mushroom is useless.

ENEMIES

Whoaaaa... Bill Banzais, Magmarghs, Thwomps... A lot of huge, difficult and undefeatable enemies.

MY ADVICE

Don´t rush, and go through the Star Bits path. I think it is important to try some times, because it is impossible to clear this the first time and collecting the Comet Medal. However, there are some stupid fails. 

FASTEST FEATHERS IN THE GALAXY

(EL GUACAPLANO MÁS RÁPIDO DE LA GALAXIA)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

Another Fluzzard´s race. This time there is only one bird to beat, but this bird is extremely fast. The Galaxy is the same as the previous one, but now you have to run, run and glide to the goal!!

ENEMIES

Magmarghs, Thwomps and Bill Banazis... Oh, yes. And the walls that will kill Fluzzard. 

MY ADVICE

Did I say RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN!!!!? This bird is extremely difficult. To be sure that you beat him, you must reach the goal with 1 minute and no more than 10 seconds. This reminds me to the races against the Boos in Super Mario Galaxy. But that was easier. You didn´t have that fragile Fluzzard with you. 

NOW YOU MISS ME, MARIO?? 

SLIPSAND GALAXY

(GALAXIA ARENAS ARRIESGADAS)

SQUIZZARD´S SANDY SINKHOLE

(LAS ARENAS DE LA PERDICIÓN)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

Welcome to the desert, where the sand will be pushing you, so you won´t have chance to move. You must try not to be smashed, in fact, thaere are lots of ways to die like this. One block smash, double block smash, dodged smash... Ok, sorry for discouraging you. The last phase before the boss is worst than the worse Galaxy of the game. Do you remember the slide in Tall Trunk Galaxy?

Well, this is worst. You must avoid the rocks while going down without seeeing anyhing.That rocks can smash you. Somebody helps me?

ENEMIES

That rocks are called Rhomps, and they can smash you like the Whomps, or the Thwomps. There are also monsters called Pokeys, and some flying monsters called Cluckbooms.

POKEY                                                                                                                        CLUCKBOOM

SQUIZZARD (BOSS)

This sand monster is the boss of this Galaxy. He will be throwing you some spiny balls that will make you lose 1 HP if you touch them. You must throw many fireballs (because Fire Mario is essential for this fight, altough the Power-Up disappears in 20 seconds) into his mouth when he opens it. When you hit it twice he will have some cannons to help him killing you. And if you are too slow in the fireballs, he will cover his mouth and you will have to start all over again.

MY ADVICE

Destoy the cannons before hitting Squizzard the last time. And move, becaues if you don´t do it, the sand will throw you to this mouth and you´ll lose 1 HP.

SAILING THE SANDY SEAS
(CRUCERO PELIGROSO POR EL MAR ARENOSO)
HOW IS THIS GALAXY
The challenge continues. Now you must sail though a dangerous sea on a sandy fragile boat. This boat will be disappearing every time you face an obstacle. So you must move through the boat to avoid sinking... But the real trouble are the enemies. 

MARIO, GET READY. THIS IS GONNA BE TOUGH!
ENEMIES
Before reaching the ship, you must walk through lots of fireballs.
The Kameks, or Magikoopas, can make part of the ship disappear by throwing fireballs to it. And the last enemy, the Chomp, will be rolling though the screen, and he won´t stop until he kills you. He keeps there when the ship sinks. He´s really STUBBORN!

JUST LOOK AT HIS EYES. THIS ENEMY IS PURE EVIL!!!
MY ADVICE
There are coins and Star Bits telling you where to place. So follow the game´s instructions. Another advice: wait until the Kameks are on the ship to spin and kill them so they don´t disturb anymore.

HOWEVER, I PREFER TO ATTACK MARIO FROM VERY FAR AWAY, SO HE CAN´T KILL ME. KE, JE, JE!!

SHIVERBURN GALAXY

(GALAXIA LLAMAS ESCALOFRIANTES)

PRINCE PIKANTE´S PEPPERY MOOD

(EL ESCALOFRIANTE CHIQUIPULPO)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

This is a fire and ice Galaxy. You will have to advance through lava planets, full of lava lakes, dangerous volcanoes, and some ice will appear if you press a button. You must keep going and kill the numerous Octoombas that appear in this Galaxy. One curiosity: there are aliens here... You´ll find out more if you keep reading. 

ENEMIES

There are lots of Octoombas, and some enemies called Octopuses (they are great Octoombas who throw you lava balls and coconuts).  There are also some generators that create electricity, that can buzz you. As it may seem, Octoombas are the main enemies in this Galaxy. And the final boss proves that theory...

THESE OCTOPUSES (AND THE ELECTRIC GENERATORS) WILL BE BACK IN THE GREATEST CHALLENGE OF THIS GAME!

PRINCE PIKANTE (BOSS)

This is the Supreme Boss of Octoombas, and he is always in his vehicle. You must try not to be hit by the wheels, and hit him with the coconuts he´s throwing to you, but you can give them back to him, like with the Octopuses. He can throw lava balls, make lava lakes around you, but if you hit him 3 times, you defeat the Octoomba Prince. 

MY ADVICE
Be careful when you spin to hit the coconuts: As the ground is made of ice, you can start skating and suiciding, even if you tried to hit and Octopus.

THE ALIENS
When you land at Shiverburn Galaxy, use the camera to look around. You´ll see that there are some aliens over a cliff. 
 
There they are. They are watching Mario, so if you feel you´re being observed is because of them. I think it was a good idea to include this kind of details, There are lots of hypothesis about how the aliens have reached this Galaxy, and it is an interesting debate, just like Luigi´s Suicide in Luigi´s Mansion. 

Have you seen that shadow? It´s Luigi´s body!

THE CHIMP´S ULTIMATE SKATING CHALLENGE
(¡A MÁS INFLONES, MÁS PATADONES)
HOW IS THIS GALAXY
This is a hidden Star in the Prince Pikante´s mission. After freezing the first planet by pressing a button, you´ll find a green pipe near a Star Ring. Get into the Pipe and the Chimp will tell you to do the Skating Challenge again (do you remember the Freezy Flake Galaxy in World 3?), but now it will be even more difficult. You have 40 seconds to get 600 points. I still don´t know how could I get through that horrendous challenge, and get the Star. 
 
ENEMIES
The Octoombas will try to stop you before you reach the pipe. In the challenge, you´ll face many Gummits (hitting the green ones will give you 10 points, the golden ones have a value of 50 points, and the Spiky Gummits will stop you).

MY ADVICE
Try, try and try. The only advice I can give you is to try hard until you get it. I got 600 points exactly, so I was pleased about it. However, you can learn where are the Gummits you need to hit, because the sequence is repeated every time you try this challenge. 

BOWSER JR´S BOOM BUNKER

(TORRETA ATRONADORA DE BOWSY)

BOWSER JR´S BOOMSDAY MACHINE

(EL BASTIÓN BOMBARDERO DE BOWSY)

HOW IS THIS GALAXY

This is the final battle against Bowser Jr. Mario must defeat him if he wants to reach Bowser and save the world (again). You arrive at a planet where you can see the remains from Megahammer. You must use the cannons to advance through this Galaxy, but remeber to be accurate. In the last phase, you will get a Cloud Power-Up, that is needed to defeat Bowser Jr´s last toy. 

ENEMIES
Megahammer can still throw Bullet Bills to detroy you. There are also Mines and 2 stubborn Boomerang Brothers.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET? YOU CAN AVOID OUR BOOMERANGS BY BENDING YOURSLEF! DON´T TELL MARIO!

BOWSER JR´S BOOMSDAY MACHINE (BOSS)
This is the last Bowser Jr´s toy. It is a tower that can throw electric balls to you. It can attract Mario´s clouds and it has fire chains next to it. To destroy the tower, use the clouds to climb to the cabine and do a Bomb Jump. Do it again and Bowser Jr´s will use his last trick: THE TOWER WILL TURN INTO A TANK! Now it will be more difficult, because the tank will be moving. But if you believe you can do it, you will hit the cabine again and you will throw Bowser Jr away, and you´ll have access to Bowser´s World.

MY ADVICE
Remember that there are clouds in the battle, so don´t be sad if you lose your Cloud Power-Up. Be accurate with the cannons, because 1 cm can mean DEATH! But Bowser Jr isn´t relly hard... NOW. 

THIS ISN´T OVER, MARIO!! THE COMET WILL BE YOUR EEEEEEND!!!
And he´s right, but we will talk about that another day.
