During the first part of the battle, the mines are purple. If Wario is to touch one, he will transform into [[Puffy Wario]], which is of no use to the player and will merely waste valuable time. When Catbat's health gets lower as the battle goes on, it will send out red mine instead of purple ones. These will harm Wario instead of transforming him.
