Super Mario Bros. 2 World 5-3 walkthrough: navigate water platforms and defeat the rock-throwing boss, Clawgrip.

·Multi-source verified (68/68)

Recommended Character: Any, but Toad's throwing power is excellent for the boss. This stage features a boss battle against Clawgrip, a giant crab that throws rocks. The path to Clawgrip involves some platforming over water and avoiding enemies. Once you reach Clawgrip, the strategy is to pick up the rocks he throws and throw them back at him. He requires three hits to defeat. Be careful to avoid his powerful claw attacks and the rocks he throws. Sometimes, you can find extra rocks or vegetables in the area to use against him if he's not throwing enough. After defeating Clawgrip, proceed through the door to complete World 5. This boss tests your throwing accuracy and dodging skills.
