Goomboss Battle is an additional course inSuper Mario 64 DS. The course is accessed through the Mariopainting in the room behind theRec Room, which can be unlocked by having eightPower Stars. DefeatingGoomboss at the end of the course grants the playerMario's Key, which is needed to rescueMario.
Layout
The course is made up of severalplatforms situated over astrange toxic cloud and a largeabyss. The platforms are either stationary, tilting, or rising platforms. SeveralGoombas are also seen moving around on the platforms, andPiranha Plants are found sleeping in certain areas. The player starts on a tall platform with a ramp the player canslide down. In the center of the stage is amesh grate the player can hang and swing from. Also in the center of the course is aBrick that contains amushroom. In the southern portion is a long platform that ends in a tall wall only Mario canwall-kick up. To the east is a tall platform with several tilting platforms leading to ared block to the north of it. The northwestern segment of the course has a pole with aLakitu circling it that the player can climb up to reach the bridge that leads to Goomboss. On the bridge are several Goombas, and aSpinning Heart and Piranha Plant are placed just before the entrance to Goomboss.
Boss battle
When the player falls down the hole at the end of the bridge, they are brought to a circular arena where they have to fight Goomboss. In the optional battle, whereYoshi is the playable character, Goomboss creates a row of Goombas behind him. Yoshi must circle around Goomboss, eat a Goomba, and then turn it into anegg. After creating an egg, Yoshi has tothrow it at Goomboss (done by using
). With every hit, Goomboss grows, turns around, and spawns more Goombas behind him. After Yoshi hits Goomboss a total of three times, he is defeated.
In optional rematches as Mario,Luigi, orWario, Goomboss creates a row of Goombas in front of him. The player has topunch the Goombas into Goomboss in order to attack him. With every hit, Goomboss grows and creates more Goombas. After the player attacks him for the second time, Goomboss creates more Goombas both in front of and behind him. Punching one more Goomba at Goomboss defeats him. The player can alsokick Goomboss's face or back to obtain a mushroom, which can be used to defeat many Goombas and easily punch or kick him.
Missions
Two Power Stars are obtainable in this course.
8 Red Coins
Scattered throughout Goomboss Battle are eightRed Coins, though in order to collect them all, the player needs to have Mario and Luigi unlocked along with thePower Flower. (Wario is not technically needed since theBlack Brick hiding one of the Red Coins can be broken by any playable character with a mushroom.) The locations of the Red Coins are:
- On the single platform to the west, under the Black Brick. In order to collect this coin, either Wario or a mushroom must be used.
- In the center of the hanging grate in the center of the course.
- On top of the rising platform at the north of the course.
- Above a tilting platform on the east side of the course.
- Inside a cage within the tall platform to the east. Luigi's Power Flower ability is needed to collect this coin.
- On the top of the large platform to the east. Mario's Power Flower ability is needed to collect the coin.
- Near theStar Marker on the east side of the course, at the end of the rising platforms.
- At the top of the pole leading to Goomboss, at the edge of the platform.
When every Red Coin is collected, the Power Star appears at the Star Marker just before the rising platforms.
