Editing Colored Pencils

In the first phase of the battle, Colored Pencils will launch four to six pencils prior to Mario lining up rings. The pencils signal their landing spot by placing targets over spaces on the board. The targets do not move when rings are rotated or slid. Merely walking over a targeted tile will cause Mario to be struck by a pencil for 3 damage, though it will not cancel his turn. After Mario finishes moving, any pencils that are still airborne will strike their targets. After Mario attacks, Colored Pencils will attempt to launch a Pencil Rain, launching his remaining pencils at Mario for 3 damage each, and then using Reloading, receiving 12 new pencils in time to launch and set more targets. However, if his lid is closed, which is achieved by Mario stopping behind the case and either using a strong enough Hammer attack or using the [[1,000-Fold Arms]] to close the lid, the pencils will explode inside the case, dealing 3 damage each to Colored Pencils and stunning the boss, rendering himself unable to reload. The next turn, Mario can damage the open case by jumping, and Colored Pencils attacks him with Snap Shut, dealing 10-16 damage should Mario be in the inner two rings, then use Reloading again. If Mario closes the lid when the case is empty, Colored Pencils will taunt him before attacking him with Snap Shut.

At half HP or less, Colored Pencils will start using Rainbow Roll attacks, dealing 4 damage twelve times when able to, in bursts of three pencils, before Reloading. The technique also prevents Mario from closing the lid as he charges up during his turn. Instead, Mario can use the 1,000-Fold Arms in front of Colored Pencils and grab the pencils, then initiate a rush attack by slamming the case with them. If Colored Pencils still has HP left afterwards, the severely damaged case will be rendered permanently unable to reload, attacking with Worst Case for the rest of the battle, dealing 2 damage.
