Editing Goomboss Battle

'''Goomboss Battle''' is an additional course in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The course is accessed through the [[Mario]] painting in the room behind the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]], which can be unlocked by having eight [[Power Star]]s. Defeating [[Goomboss]] at the end of the course will grant the player the [[Mario Key|key]] needed to rescue Mario.

The course is made up of several [[platform]]s situated over a [[toxic cloud]] and a large [[pit|abyss]]. The platforms are either stationary, tilting, or rising platforms. Several [[Goomba]]s are also seen moving around on the platforms, and [[Piranha Plant]]s are found sleeping in certain areas. The player starts on a tall platform with a ramp the player can [[slide]] down. In the center of the stage is a mesh grate the player can hang and swing from. Also in the center of the course is a [[block (Super Mario 64)|brick]] that contains a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]]. In the southern portion is a long platform that ends in a tall wall only Mario can [[Wall Jump|wall-jump]] up. To the east is a tall platform with several tilting platforms leading to a [[? Block]] to the north of it. The northwestern segment of the course has a pole with a [[Lakitu]] circling it that the player can climb up to reach the bridge that leads to Goomboss. On the bridge are several Goombas, and a [[Spinning Heart]] and Piranha Plant are placed just before the entrance to Goomboss.

When the player falls down the hole at the end of the bridge, they will be brought to a circular arena where they will have to fight Goomboss. Depending on whom the player is playing as, the strategy to defeat Goomboss is different.

If the player is playing as [[Yoshi]], Goomboss will create a row of Goombas behind him. Yoshi must circle around Goomboss, eat a Goomba, and then turn it into an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]. After creating an egg, Yoshi has to throw it at Goomboss by using {{button|DS|B}}. With every hit, Goomboss will grow, turn around, and spawn more Goombas behind him. After Yoshi hits Goomboss a total of three times, he will be defeated.

 

If the player is anyone other than Yoshi, Goomboss will create a row of Goombas in front of him. The player has to [[punch]] the Goombas into Goomboss in order to attack him. With every hit, Goomboss will grow and create more Goombas. After the player attacks him for the second time, Goomboss will create more Goombas both in front of and behind him. Punching one more Goomba at Goomboss will defeat him.

===Red Coin Star===

Scattered throughout Goomboss Battle are eight [[Red Coin]]s, though in order to collect them all, the player needs to have every playable character unlocked along with the [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]]. When every Red Coin is collected, the Power Star will appear at the [[Star Marker]] on the east side of the course, just before the rising platforms. The locations of the Red Coins are:

*On the single platform to the west, under the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Black Brick]]. In order to collect this coin, either [[Wario]] or a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]] must be used.

*Above a tilting platform on the 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.

*Near the Star Marker, at the end of the rising platforms.

As Mario, the player needs to make it to the long platform to the east of the starting area. On the platform is a [[Star Switch]], and pressing it will cause the Power Star to appear in the [[Star Sphere]] at the top of the wire shaft. Mario needs to wall-jump up to the top and collect the Power Star before the Star Switch's timer runs out.
