  4. 4
    Continue to the top and enter another door.
  5. 5

Boss Strategy:

  1. The boss is Morton.
  2. To damage Morton, jump on his head.
  3. Morton walks left, then up a wall, and drops from the ceiling where you are standing. You will be briefly immobilized when he lands.
  4. Jump out of the way just before he lands, then jump on him.
  5. He speeds up after each hit.
  6. After three successful hits to the head, Morton is defeated.
  7. If you are Fire Mario, you can also use fireballs to damage Morton.
