Fortunately, all attacks except the energy missiles and the Evil Eye leave him vulnerable. Once he attacks you and flies in, quickly punch him, swing him around, and toss him. Also, another way of stunning him is to pick up one of his boulders he throws, toss it into the crater he is hovering over, and a spray of magma will shoot up, dazing him. Slam him, pick him up, and execute a [[Piledriver]], [[Wild Swing-Ding]] or [[Power Throw]]. Five powerful moves defeat the Winter Windster and access to [[Beanstalk Way]] is granted.
The Winter Windster drops explosive boulders from its cloud throughout the entire battle; these can squash Wario if they land on him. However, Wario can also toss a boulder into one of the lava craters, causing an explosion of lava to be sent out. The lava can be used to knock the boss from the sky if it is over that crater. Once the Winter Windster is close enough, Wario can quickly punch it to daze it, and then use a [[Wario World#Mad Move|Mad Move]] on it. The Winter Windster is defeated after hitting it with five Mad Moves. After the battle, Wario is able to access [[Beanstalk Way]].

Wario is inflated by the Winter Windster forcing itself down his throat

It uses a variety of attacks in his battle. It can attack by breathing a stream of cold air, which will freeze Wario, leaving him vulnerable to be headbutted by the Winter Windster. The Winter Windster can also duck into one of the lava craters in the arena and send out pulsing shockwaves of energy which will hurt Wario upon contact. It also shoots blue energy missiles. The Winter Windster's final attack is the "Evil Eye" attack, which will cause it to phase out into bursts of energy if Wario looks into his eyes when they start glowing red. The energy causes Wario to be inflated, which causes him to float over the spikes outside the arena. The player can allow Wario to regain control before he lands on the ice spikes by shaking the Control Stick quickly. Turning backwards without looking at the Winter Windster's eye enables Wario to dodge the attack.

The Winter Windster drops explosive boulders from its cloud throughout the entire battle; these can squash Wario if they land on him. However, Wario can also toss a boulder into one of the lava craters, causing an explosion of lava to be sent out. The lava can be used to knock the boss from the sky if it is over that crater. Once the Winter Windster is close enough, Wario can quickly punch it to daze it, and then use a Mad Move on it. The Winter Windster is defeated after hitting it with five Mad Moves. After the battle, Wario is able to access Beanstalk Way.
