Follow this guide to navigate sinking platforms, defeat Li'l Cinders, collect Star Chips, and finally take down the Fiery Dino Piranha in Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
Alright, let's tackle the Fiery Dino Piranha in Melty Molten Galaxy! This section will guide you through the final stretch and the boss fight itself.
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, you'll need to make your way across some sinking platforms. They're small and sink fast, so be quick with your jumps!
- 2Once you reach the side of the tall rock structure, you'll need to wall jump past some fire jets. Keep an eye on the timing to avoid getting burned.
- 3This will lead you to a green warp pipe that transports you to a new planet.
- 4On this new planet, you'll find a Sling Star. Use it to launch yourself over to a planet where you'll face some enemies.
- 5You'll land on a planet with 5 Li'l Cinders. Your goal here is to defeat all of them. To do this, you'll need to spin attack them to douse their flames, and then kick them.
- 6Once all five Li'l Cinders are defeated, a Launch Star will appear in the center of the planet.
- 7Use the Launch Star to reach the next planet. Here, you'll need to run across to the other end to find another Launch Star.
- 8As you make your way across this planet, watch out for fireballs that have fiery tails. Dodging these is key to not taking damage.
- 9After that, you'll arrive at a section with moving platforms. Your objective here is to collect five Launch Star Chips.
- 10There are three chips on the inner platforms and two on the top of the planet. You'll need to use high jumps from the higher moving platforms to reach those top two.
- 11Once you've collected all five Star Chips, a Launch Star will spawn at the edge of the planet. Use the higher platforms to get to it.
- 12Now, for the final approach to the Fiery Dino Piranha's planet, you'll encounter more sinking platforms. There are also plenty of Star Bits scattered around here, which are super useful if you want to buy something from Lumalee before the boss fight. Remember, items from Lumalee cost 30 Star Bits, and you can grab a 1-up Mushroom or a Life Mushroom.
- 13Finally, you've reached the Fiery Dino Piranha's planet! This fight might feel familiar if you've battled the regular Dino Piranha in Good Egg Galaxy.
- 14Your main task is to spin attack the Dino Piranha's tail.
- 15Warning: The tail will periodically catch fire. Touching it while it's burning will cause you damage, so be careful!
- 16Each successful spin attack on its tail will send it flying into the air, hitting the boss on the head.
- 17You need to hit its tail a total of four times to defeat it.
- 18After the third hit, the Fiery Dino Piranha will start spitting fireballs. You'll need to dodge these while still aiming for its tail for the final blow.
- 19Once you defeat the Fiery Dino Piranha, a Power Star will appear. Grab it to complete the level!
Tips
- Don't rush the sinking platforms; focus on precise jumps to avoid falling.
- When wall jumping past the fire jets, watch their patterns to find safe openings.
- For the Li'l Cinders, remember to spin them first to douse their flames before kicking them.
- The moving platforms can be tricky; take a moment to observe their movement before committing to a jump.
- Save up your Star Bits! A 1-up or Life Mushroom from Lumalee can be a lifesaver before the boss fight.
- During the Fiery Dino Piranha fight, patience is key. Wait for a clear opening to spin attack its tail, especially after the third hit when it starts spitting fireballs.
