'''King Kalientes''' are [[list of bosses|boss]]es in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are two similar-looking [[Rocto]]s who seem to be in league with [[Bowser]], as one leads a portion of his fleet and the other is called upon by [[Bowser Jr.]] to fight Mario, and guards a [[Grand Star]]. The first is fought in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and the second in [[Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor]]. The first battle is for a [[Power Star]] and the second battle is for a Grand Star. Their name comes from the Spanish word ''caliente'', which means "hot". The King Kalientes shares their boss music with [[Bugaboom]] and [[Topmaniac]]. The two King Kalientes are differentiated from each other in the same manner as the counterparts for [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Gobblegut]]. The game's English trading cards treat the two as the same individual and refer to him as a "[[Blooper]]-octopus."

King Kaliente is a giant [[Rocto]]. Unlike most of the game's Roctos, he resembles a real-life octopus due to his long suction cupped arms, just like a real octopus's arms. His skin is orange and his eyes are blue. Unlike the other Roctos, his skin lacks spots, more akin to an [[Octoguy]]. He has a crown on his head, a small red cape tied around his neck with a jeweled brooch, and a white mustache above his nozzle-like mouth. A small antenna topped with a red orb emerges from the top of his head, just barely visible above his crown. The second King Kaliente's whole body has a much darker, blacker hue and red eyes.

The standard King Kaliente is first fought in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]], where he resides in his volcanic-topped UFO, the Octo Magma planet. After [[Mario]] lands on the Octo Magma planet, a yellow [[Luma]] will warn him about the king (albeit indirectly, only stating that there is "big danger" up ahead). When Mario reaches the volcanic side, the king will emerge from the lava pool and shake his head, angered, beginning the battle. He will first spit out three [[fireball]]s, followed by a [[coconut]]. Mario must perform a [[Spin]] or a [[Spin Jump]] to whack the coconut back at him, which stuns him, and [[Star Bit]]s will emerge.

Mario must perform a [[Spin]] or a [[Spin Jump]] to whack the coconut back at him, which stuns him, and [[Star Bit]]s will emerge.


The king will again shoot out three fireballs and then a coconut, which Mario can spin back at him, which will make the King deflect it back at Mario. If Mario whacks it at him again without the coconut flying past him, he will knock the king's crown off for the second successful hit. If it is missed, the attack pattern will repeat until Mario is successful. If the player long jumps to King Kaliente during the battle, King Kaliente will knock the player back like he does when deflecting a coconut.

Line 21: Line 19:
King Kaliente will get very angry after his crown falls and sinks into the lava, and unleashes a big roar of wind, blowing the lava around and sprouting small [[Lava Bubble]]s that will bounce on the lava or on the ground toward Mario for the rest of the battle. If they touch Mario, they will burn him and cause him to lose up to two [[Health Meter|HP]]. Again, the king must be attacked three more times in a row with a coconut. If this is pulled off, King Kaliente finally fails to deflect and is knocked out, collapsing back into the lava pool.  A [[Power Star]] will sprout out of the lava and appear next to Mario, and the Lava Bubbles will vanish.

As determined at the end of the [[List of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|E3 2006 trailer]], the ability to "swipe" the fireballs away using the [[Star Pointer]] was going to appear, but this feature was removed the final version of the game.<ref>{{cite|author=VGMusMix|date=November 14, 2020|url=youtu.be/1iHCYACYfp4?feature=shared&t=688|title=''Super Mario Galaxy'' E3 2006 Footage Compilation|timestamp=11:28|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>

He is fought at [[Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor]]. His tactic is the same as the one in the Good Egg Galaxy, but he becomes more aggressive much faster and the fight itself is harder. The fight takes place on a ring of small conjoined hexagonal platforms that will sink into the lava if Mario stands on them for too long. This King Kaliente's attacks are also much more frequent, and include sending in dozens of Lava Bubbles after the first hit, taking an additional shot in the first and second hits, and after his crown is knocked off, [[meteor]]s begin raining down from the sky. After Mario defeats him, he will give up a Grand Star.

Only the first King Kaliente makes a returning appearance in the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' galaxy [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]], along with several other bosses from the first game. He is the second boss Mario fights in this galaxy. His appearance and attack methods are identical to Mario's first encounter with him in the Good Egg Galaxy and Mario also defeats him using the same method as well. When King Kaliente is beaten, Mario can access a [[Launch Star]] that blasts him to the next planet leading to a battle against [[Major Burrows]]. Another [[Rocto]] boss in the game, [[Prince Pikante]], bears a strong resemblance to King Kaliente, who is implied to be related due to their names and designs.
