Megasparkle Goomba Battle Details:
- HP: 90
- Attack: ~5 (3 when blocked)
- Defense: 7
- The Megasparkle Goomba is a significant challenge due to its high defense. Use all your shiny/special/awesome stickers.
- Before it assembles, use strong jump attacks like Shiny Hopslipper or Shiny Slaphammer.
- Once assembled, use Flashy Jump(s), Shiny Jump(s), Scissors, or other powerful attacks. Weak attacks will have no effect.
- The Goomba's attacks include a high jump for ~5 damage, rolling for ~7 damage, and sending shreds for ~3 damage each. These are avoidable.
- Healing will likely be necessary.
- After depleting its health, deal one more point of damage to defeat it.
Tips
- You may need to ditch stickers like bombs if they become too burdensome.
- Use the bomb's overworld explosions to destroy gates and fences.
- The stickers collected on the walkway ([Fire Flower], [Hurlhammer], [Ice Flower], [Fire Flower]) are well worth the extra maneuvering.
- Choose a good sticker to upgrade to "Shiny" or "Flashy" in the staircase zone.
- Be sure to pick up the [Trumpet] outside the tower.
- Make sure your stickers are ready before the Megasparkle Goomba battle.
- DO NOT USE WEAK ATTACKS against the Megasparkle Goomba; they will have no effect.
