Greenfist[1] is the first boss of Wario World. It is a humanoid green lizard[2] who is fought on a single, small green platform the end of Greenhorn Forest. Greenfist can be stunned after enough hits from Wario,[3] and then lose a unit of health afterward from being hit by either a Piledriver, Wild Swing-Ding, or Mega Toss. Greenfist's main attack is slamming Wario with its fists, flattening him on contact. After receiving some punches Greenfist uses another attack where it charges and runs 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. Greenfist requires only three powerful moves to defeat,[4] and is weaker than the other bosses. It can also be damaged by leading it off the edge of the arena during its charge attack. It makes the same death sound as Ironsider before coughing up several coins.

Notes[edit]
- Greenfist, along with the Sandworm, Dual Dragon and Red-Brief J, are the only bosses in Wario World that do not require Mad Moves to defeat; while Greenfist can be defeated with Mad Moves, it also loses a health skull if it falls off the edge of the arena, which can happen during its fist-whirling attack.
- 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.
