Mario Zone Boss: Three Little Pigs

Struggling with the Three Little Pigs boss in Super Mario Land 2? This guide breaks down the strategy for beating them, so you can grab that Golden Coin and move on!

Alright, so you've made it to the Mario Zone, and it's time to face the Three Little Pigs! Don't let their fairy tale origins fool you; these guys are a real challenge. But don't worry, I'll walk you through it. We're going to focus on how to take them down so you can get that Golden Coin!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• The pigs have a pattern, and once you see it, they're not so tough.
• Their main weakness is that they're vulnerable after they attack.

Phases:

1. First Pig: This little guy is all about speed. He'll charge at you relentlessly.
2. Second Pig: He's a bit more strategic, using his house as a shield and throwing bricks.
3. Third Pig: This one is the toughest, using his brick house to his advantage and being more aggressive.

Strategy:

• Against the First Pig: When he charges, jump over him. He'll run off-screen, and you'll have a moment to breathe before he comes back. Keep jumping and dodging until he tires himself out.
• Against the Second Pig: This pig will try to block you with his wooden house. He'll also throw bricks. Your best bet is to wait for him to throw a brick, then quickly jump on his head while he's recovering. The house itself can be destroyed, but it's usually easier to focus on the pig.
• Against the Third Pig: This is where things get serious. He'll use his brick house, which is much sturdier. He'll also be more aggressive with his attacks. The key here is timing. Wait for him to charge or throw a brick, then quickly jump on his head. You might need to take a few hits to learn the timing, but don't give up!
• General Tips: Always keep moving. Standing still is a death sentence. Try to collect any power-ups you see before entering the boss room, as they can make a big difference. If you get hit, try to grab a power-up quickly to regain your advantage.

Beat all three pigs, and you'll finally get your hands on that Golden Coin!
