'''Red-Brief J''' is the boss of [[Thrillsville]] in ''[[Wario World]]''. He is a large, bipedal, anthropomorphic bull, who, as his name suggests, is clad in red undergarments, as well as a metallic helmet. His body is covered in a few scorch marks.


Red-Brief J has the largest variety of attacks of any of the bosses in the game. First and most common, he absorbs red energy and charges toward [[Wario]] at full speed. As the fight goes on, he adds one charge for every health point he's lost.  Secondly, after summoning purple-colored energy, he jumps up and crashes down, dunking almost the entire arena into the lava. Wario must stay on the raised, middle section to dodge it. In his third attack, Red-Brief J would jump, hover in the air, and dive at Wario extremely fast. This is usually followed by a fourth attack where he fires multiple fireballs at Wario from the hoof on his arm.  J's fifth and final attack type is when he draws in pink energy. He begins to twirl like a ballerina toward Wario. The attack has an insane homing ability, so it's tough to dodge.
His stage, '''Red-Brief J's Showdown''', consists of a metal platform suspended over a pool of [[lava]], located in a snowy canyon. Red-Brief J has the largest variety of attacks of any of the bosses in the game. Before he starts any attack, he will strut around after [[Wario]] with his hooves on his hips. Wario must not go near Red-Brief J's feet when he does this, because fire erupts from them while he is walking. In his first and most common attack, he absorbs orange energy and charges toward Wario at full speed. The number of charges increase by one for each point of damage Wario delivers.


To defeat the bull, who is invulnerable to Wario's punches, Wario must wait for Red to do one of his huge charges. If dodged just right, the hulking bull would lose control and end up teetering on the edge of the arena over the lava. When this happens, Wario must immediately [[Ground Pound]] the middle section of the stage, causing Red-Brief J to fall off. After five dunks in the lava, Red-Brief J succumbs and Wario receives the third [[Giant Treasure Chest Key]]. Red-Brief J, along with [[Dinomighty]], are the only bosses to appear in the video game's official artwork.
Red-Brief J's second attack is to point and shoot homing fireballs from the hooves on his arms. Meanwhile, Red-Brief J's third attack involves drawing in purple energy and jumping extremely high, then landing at the middle, briefly dunking half the arena in lava. Wario must stand on the middle area to avoid being hurt from this attack. His fourth attack has Red-Brief J jump into the air and start spinning, while drawing in blue and white energy. He starts front-flipping and then dives head-first into Wario.
