TheWinter Windster is fought inShivering Mountains inWario World. It is the first boss ofThrillsville, and it is succeeded bySpideraticus andRed-Brief J. The Winter Windster is an extremely large humanoid with a disproportionately large head. It is mostly blue in color, though its nose is dark red-violet. Its hair is similar to a vine-like plant.

Battle[edit]

The Winter Windster's arena is a large irregularly-shaped block of ice with four small magma pools on it. The arena is surrounded by sharp ice spikes.

It uses a variety of attacks in its battle. It can attack by breathing a stream of cold air, which will freeze Wario, leaving him vulnerable to be headbutted by the Winter Windster. The Winter Windster can also duck into one of the lava craters in the arena and send out pulsing shockwaves of energy which will hurt Wario upon contact. It also shoots blue energy missiles. The Winter Windster's final attack is the "Evil Eye" attack, which will cause it to phase out into bursts of energy if Wario looks into its eyes when they start glowing red. The energy causes Wario to be inflated, which causes him to float over the spikes outside the arena. The player can allow Wario to regain control before he lands on the ice spikes by shaking the Control Stick quickly. Turning backwards without looking at the Winter Windster's eye enables Wario to dodge the attack.

The Winter Windster drops explosive boulders from its cloud throughout the entire battle; these can squash Wario if they land on him. However, Wario can also toss a boulder into one of the lava craters, causing an explosion of lava to be sent out. The lava can be used to knock the boss from the sky if it is over that crater. Once the Winter Windster is close enough, Wario can quickly punch it to daze it, and then use aMad Move on it. The Winter Windster is defeated after hitting it with five Mad Moves. After the battle, Wario is able to accessBeanstalk Way.
