- —Spriteling,Wario World
TheIronsider is a boss inWario World. It is a large, pulsing lion-esque head made of solid iron that enlists the help of huge stone hands in battle. Its movements and the appearance of the arena also make it resemble a chess piece. It is fought at the end ofPecan Sands, on an arena with a sandy floor surrounding nine stone squares. The Ironsider attacks by shooting multiple shockwaves or using a fire breath attack that covers the entire arena. The latter is avoidable only by performing aGround Pound to become stuck in the sand, with the flames passing overhead harmlessly. The Ironsider grabsWario with its hands to attack him, though wiggling the Control Stick frees Wario. The Ironsider's attacks destroy the stone hands if hit. The Ironsider takes damage from one of the hands being stunned, grabbed, and either thrown at or piledrived near the Ironsider. The Ironsider is defeated after five hits, allowing Wario to continue onward to the boss ofSparkle Land,Captain Skull.
