Baron Brrr (orBaron Brr)[1] is the boss of theFreezeflame Galaxy inSuper Mario Galaxy and itsNintendo Switchport. Baron Brrr resembles a giantLi'l Brr but with more protrusions around his body and a more symmetrical, finely cut appearance. He sports a jeweled crown similar toKing Boo's.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
InSuper Mario Galaxy, Baron Brrr appears in theFreezeflame Galaxy in the level "The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr" where he is up on the third level of the mountain.
WhenMario reaches the area, Baron Brrr begins firing balls of ice at him out of his crown. Mario must dodge theIce Balls and go to the left side of the platform to get an Ice Flower (the other side will lead tocoins). Using theIce Flower, Mario becomesIce Mario and can run across the water to the front of Baron Brrr's platform. There he mustWall Jump up to the platform with Baron Brrr on it. Baron Brrr will start slamming down onto the ground, creating icy waves which Mario can dodge by jumping. He then must Spin near the Baron while he is on the ground. After being hit, Baron Brrr will turn small and hard and try to escape from Mario, who must Spin him again to damage him. The player must do this two more times. After Baron Brrr is damaged twice, he calls twoIce Bubbles to help him. When Baron Brrr is defeated, he releases aPower Star.

Notes[edit]
- Baron Brrr is one of two bosses in the game where it is possible to defeat it, ignore thePower Star it spawns, and then backtrack to a point where the player can instead go after a secret Star, the other beingKamella in theDeep Dark Galaxy; this is both due to the secret star being accessible from their mission and these bosses not having their own small planets for arenas like most other bosses.
- InSuper Mario Galaxy 2,King Lakitu and theMandibug Stack's theme "A-wa-wa-wa-wa!" is a variation of Baron Brrr's theme "A-wa-wa-wa!"
