Sandworm

A good look at the SandWorm's mug

The SandWorm is an evil, worm-like boss in Wario World, fought in a large sand pit that continually pulls Wario in the center. SandWorm is the boss of Greenhorn Ruins. His main attack is spitting spiky balls, but if damaged enough, will strike back with powerful moves, including slicing Wario with his scythe-like hands. He is quite easy, though, as all Wario must do to damage him is give him repeated punches.

SandWorm never becomes stunned. But when one of his health skulls gets chopped off, he slashes after Wario with his scythe-like hands. Also, SandWorm may dash to the center of the arena and start spitting many spiked balls in random directions. When this happens, the arena pulls Wario in much faster. Simply stay away from his sand trail, and sooner or later, he will die, giving Wario access to Dinomighty!

SandWorm is the second of two mini-bosses in Excitement Central, Greenfist being the first.

A SandWorm also appears in Pecan Sands. That time, he's bit faster (and smarter).
