Boss Battle: Megasparkle Goomba

The Megasparkle Goomba has 90 HP, ~5 Attack, and 7 Defense. It is a significant challenge due to its high defense. Use all your shiny/special/awesome stickers. Initially, before it assembles into its large form, use strong jump attacks like the Shiny Hopslipper or Shiny Slaphammer. Once it assembles, use Flashy Jump(s), Shiny Jump(s), Scissors, or other powerful stickers to deal massive damage. Weak attacks will have no effect. Avoid using weak attacks. The Megasparkle Goomba's attacks include a high jump that lands on you (5 damage, 3 when blocked), rolling up to squash you (7 damage, 4 when blocked), and sending individual shreds (3 damage, 2 when blocked). Heal when necessary. After depleting its health, deal one more point of damage to defeat the regular Goomba.

Tips
  • You may have to ditch stickers if bomb stickers become too burdensome.
  • Refer to the Appendix for sticker information.
  • The Megasparkle Goomba's attacks are avoidable once learned.
  • Be sure to pick up the [Trumpet].
