Bloomsday



Bloomsday (known in Europe ad Scumflower) is the fourth boss of Wario Land: Shake It!. It can be fought in the boss level of Jiggle Jungle known as Bloomsday Blowout. It is a giant potted plant that can inhale a large amount of air and release it into powerful gusts of wind.

Battle
The boss battle takes place atop a log in the middle of a lake where during the first half of the battle Bloomsday will attempt to blow Wario to the edge of the log where a Venus Guytrap waits to attack Wario, after that it will spit out Bumbleprods, Flipstrings or Bandineros, two of which Wario can use to throw at Bloomsday which will temporarily stun it, while it stunned Wario can charge towards it causing it to move closer to edge of the log, after this is will call forth numerous thorny vines that will rise from the ground to attack Wario, it will continue to repeat these moves until it has been attacked at least two or three times then it will change strategies, instead it will groundpound causing two large thorny vines to appear and trap Wario in between them (it may also stun Wario if he doesn't jump right before the attack), Bloomsday will then spit out a Boomdinero and then two Bumbleprods to attack Wario, Wario however can turn the Boomdinero into a Bandinero which he can later use to attack Bloomsday, Bloomsday will then try to suck and blow Wario towards the thorns causing him to let go of the Bandinero, but if Wario manages to resist the attack and dodge the two Bumbleprods Bloomsday will attempt two groundpound again causing the thorny vines to dissapear and giving Wario a chance to throw the Bandinero at Bloomsday thus stunning him and giving Wario a chance to attack, once Wario does this twice he will push Bloomsday of the log causing his defeat and earning his fourth boss emblem.
