In ''Wario Land II'', Bobo is considerably smaller than in his original appearance. He only attacks Wario directly in this game by repeatedly swooping down and flying back up again in patterns that change as the battle progresses. Bobo is also able to make wind come up from the ground by flapping his wings, making Wario fly upwards and forcing him back to an earlier section of the boss level unless he [[crouch]]es. He can be defeated by jumping on him six times. Every two hits, his attack pattern changes. First it is a large and slow curve, then it's in the shape of a w, and finally it is in three lines with 90 degree sharp turns. In addition, every two hits forces Wario to stay crouched longer.

He only attacks Wario directly in this game by repeatedly swooping down and flying back up again in patterns that change as the battle progresses. Bobo is also able to make wind come up from the ground by flapping his wings, making Wario fly upwards and forcing him back to an earlier section of the boss level unless he crouches. He can be defeated by jumping on him six times or Ground Pounding him three times. Every two hits (or one hit with a Ground Pound), his attack pattern changes. First it is a large and slow curve, then it is in the shape of a W, and finally it is in three lines with 90 degree sharp turns. In addition, every attack pattern transition forces Wario to stay crouched longer.
