Vs. Clanky Woods:

Clanky Woods is a mechanized version of Whispy Woods that moves using drills and has a large screw. Despite its upgrades, it functions as an introductory boss with slow, dodgeable attacks.

Clanky Woods: Phase 1 Attacks

• Missiles: Clanky fires two slow-moving, semi-homing missiles. Jump over them or suck them up. (Ammo: 1 x 2)
• Rock Throw: Clanky drills the ground and throws two rocks. Stay near Clanky or at the screen's edge to be safe. You can also suck them up. (Ammo: 2)
• Orb Shower: Clanky drops large green orbs from the top of the screen, avoiding the edges. These can be sucked up and spit out as two objects. Clanky finishes by dropping three exploding orbs in the center, leaving temporary fire on the ground. The sides of the screen are safe. (Ammo: 1 x ?)
• Drill Slam: Clanky jumps, a shadow appears, and it lands to drill, sending two rocks flying in both directions. The edges are safe. Clanky will then jump to the opposite side, so be ready to move. (Ammo: 2 x 2)

After Clanky Woods reaches approximately 50% health, the arena becomes circular, and a new attack is added.

Clanky Woods: Phase 2 Unique Attack

• Exhaust Dash: Clanky hunkers down, emits smoke from its exhaust pipes, and dashes almost entirely around the arena. When Clanky hunkers down, run to get behind it and follow. The area where it leaves stars is safe. (Ammo: 3)

When Clanky Woods reaches approximately 25% health, the arena is modified to trap Kirby in a smaller space, and new attacks are introduced.

Clanky Woods: Phase 3 Unique Attacks

• Drill Missiles: Hatches on the arena sides open, launching slow-moving drill missiles. Their number and location vary randomly. (Ammo: 1 x 3-4)
• Orb Shower: Clanky drops large green orbs aiming for the left, then right, then center. Run right, then stay left. These orbs cannot be sucked up but can be knocked into the background for minor damage. (Ammo: 0)
• Drill Jabs: Clanky jumps from the background to land above Kirby and uses two drill roots to jab downwards. They shake before attacking where you were when they started shaking. Bait them into one spot and move to the other. The third attack is a flurry, leaving one drill stuck in the ground with stars behind. (Ammo: 2)
• Missiles: Clanky fires two missiles right, then two missiles left from the background, moving diagonally towards the center. Hover above to avoid them. (Ammo: 2 x 2)
