Beating the castle doesn’t mean you’re finished with World 6. As you try to leave, another fun house descends from above. It’s time to face off with Motley Bossblob if you want to reach World 7.
The ? Block found near the stairs up to the gondola provides a Double Cherry. You’ll want this item for the upcoming boss fight.
Boss Battle: Motley Bossblob
Motley Bossblob doesn’t look all that tough.
Right, then. Let’s rumble!
The first thing Motley Bossblob does is to jump into the air to squash you. After a few shorter hops, he takes one gigantic leap. You don’t want to be under him during any of the jumps. Always keep dashing during any of these jumping phases, especially after he’s taken a couple hits. He is so fast he’ll be almost on top of you. On the last jump, the blobs that make up his form scatter, and he releases a Double Cherry for you to collect.
When the silver blobs are scattered, you can squash them while chasing around the clown himself. If you can’t reach him in time, Motley Bossblob will restore his giant form and try squashing you again. The more blobs you squash, the smaller he is with every transformation until you actually manage to hit him. Hitting Motley Bossblob causes him to summon a fresh set of blobs, and he starts with his jump attacks again at a much faster pace.
After three hits, Motley Bossblob is defeated. You’ve earned a Green Star and passage to World 7 for your trouble!
