Greenfist[1] is a humanoid reptilian with a green body and silver hands. It is the first boss of Wario World, and it is fought on a single, small green platform the end of Greenhorn Forest. Greenfist can be attacked from taking enough hits from Wario, stunning it, and then from one of its health skulls being destroyed by either a Piledriver, Wild Swing-Ding, or Mega Toss. It can also lose a health skull just by falling off the battlefield. One of Greenfist's attacks involves it slamming its fists on Wario, flattening him on contact. Greenfist's other attack, which it uses after receiving some punches from Wario, involves Greenfist charging and running after Wario, flailing its arms wildly. Two damage can be dealt to Greenfist directly by using a either Mega Toss and throwing it off the cliff, or Piledriving near the edge. After three powerful moves, Greenfist is defeated, coughs up a large amount of coins, and Wario is allowed into Greenhorn Ruins.

Trivia

  • Greenfist is the only boss in the game to have three skulls instead of the usual five, therefore making it the weakest boss in the game.
  • Greenfist and the Sandworm are the only bosses whose names are never mentioned in-game. All of the other level bosses are mentioned by Spritelings in their respective levels, while the boss-only stages that the world bosses appear in are named after the bosses themselves.
  • Greenfist has the same death voice as the Ironsider.
