Part 21

Turn off the Boo-ray and head right to trigger a scene, leading into a boss battle.

EXP: 2,800

Coins: 600

Item Drops: Siphon Boots, Star Candy

Attacks: Silk Swing (Hammer counter), Shrinking (Hammer a few times), Heart Drop (Multiple hammer counters), Star Beam (Jump over)

Notices: When small, only uses Silk Swing. Gauge fills as it takes damage. When full, boss enlargens and uses other attacks. Attacking the magic rod lowers the gauge, causing the boss to shrink. Attacking the boss keeps the gauge full and the boss enlarged.

Strategy: Start with the Jump Helmet. When the boss enlargens, attack the magic rod to lower the gauge and shrink the boss. Repeat this cycle.

After the battle, you'll obtain the first Star Cure. Go along the path to exit the Energy Hold.
