It floats above a flat platform spanning 0[verification needed] horizontal units with lava on either side, and has 10 hit points (indicated by a health bar appearing at the top of the screen). It loses 1 hit point each time it is damaged by a green projectile that is left behind by its green fireball attack hitting the ground, which is activated and shot back towards the boss by the icon touching it. The projectile will slowly float upwards and disappear after 0[verification needed] seconds if it is not activated in time. The boss fight occurs on a flat platform that .
The boss has 4 phases which are triggered as its hit points decrease.
- Phase 1: Aimed orange fireball attack introduced, with every fourth fireball the slower green variant to convert into an attack against the boss.
- Phase 2 (after losing 3 hit points): Attack frequency increases, green fireball attack aimed further away from the icon, boss's floating movement shifts to a smaller distance closer towards the centre.
- Phase 3 (after 20 fireballs fired during Phase 2): Attack frequency increases, sweeping laser attack introduced between existing attacks.
- Phase 4 (after losing 7 hit points): Spinning ground pound spawning spike shockwave attack introduced (must be jumped over), orange fireball attack occurs less.
