Max Thunder, a former ally, is the boss of Stage 4. He's a powerful grappler with incredible strength and a wide array of wrestling moves. His attacks include a devastating spinning piledriver, a powerful clothesline, and a ground pound that creates a shockwave. Max is very aggressive and will try to get close to you to initiate his grabs. The key to defeating Max is to stay out of his grabbing range and punish him after his attacks. His spinning piledriver leaves him vulnerable for a short period. His ground pound can be avoided by jumping. Use jump attacks and quick combos to chip away at his health. Throws are effective if you can land them, but be careful not to get grabbed yourself. Save your Star Moves for when he's low on health or when you need to create some breathing room. This fight is a test of evasion and precise counter-attacking.
