Master the Topmaniac Daredevil Run in Super Mario Galaxy! This guide details the three phases of the boss fight and how to survive with only one life.

Alright, so you've made it to the Daredevil Run in Battlerock Galaxy for Super Mario 3D All-Stars! This is the Topmaniac boss fight, but with a twist: you only have one life. That means no messing around – every move counts!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Phase 1: You'll face Topmaniac and a few small Topminis. Don't try to spin into Topmaniac directly; he's got spikes! Instead, jump on his head to stun him for a moment. Once he's down, quickly spin him into the electrical barriers on either side of the arena.
  2. 2
    Phase 2: This is pretty much the same as the first phase, but there are more Topminis running around. Just repeat the process: jump on Topmaniac's head to stun him, then spin him into the electrical barriers.
  3. 3
    Phase 3: Things get a bit trickier here. You'll have Topmaniac, more Topminis, and now a couple of Spikey Topmen joining the fray. The best strategy is to ignore the Spikey Topmen if you can and focus entirely on Topmaniac. Stun him by jumping on his head, then get him into those electrical barriers.

Once you defeat Topmaniac, a Power Star will appear. Grab it and you're done!

Tips
  • Since you only have one life, patience is key. Don't rush your attacks.
  • Focus on Topmaniac. The smaller enemies are distractions, especially in the final phase.
  • Master the jump-stagger-spin combo. It's your only way to damage him.
