In battle, Molasses would slowly walk back and forth, attempting to stab Wario with his spear, similar to a regular Pirate Goom. Molasses' spear prevented the anti-hero from using any head-on attacks; instead, Wario had to [[Ground Pound]] him from above. After ten hits, theMolasses would surrender, and Wario could continue his looting. Although Molasses engaged Wario in many battles, the purple-clad thief always emerged the victor.

Molasses was also the guard of Captain Syrup's personal treasure collection. After Captain Syrup was defeated at the end of the game, Molasses tried to stop Wario from stealing Captain Syrup's treasure, but once again he lost to the powerful anti-hero and the treasure was stolen. The movie seen during the end credits show him following Wario to his castle, revealing that Molasses switched to Wario's side after his final defeat.
