Hisstocrat

Hisstocrat is a boss that appears in Super Mario 3D World as the boss of World 3-B: A Banquet with Hisstocrat. He is a large purple serpent wearing regal attire, such as a crown and cape. His name is a portmanteau of the words "hiss", a sound made by snakes, and "aristocrat", referring to his king outfit.

Hisstocrat serves as the second boss of World 3. Hisstocrat only has two attacks; one is to emerge from the ground to send boulders flying and landing down on the player. The second attack is to send out snakes with platforms. If Mario and co. jump on a snake who's platform is cracked a few times, the snake will bite and damage the player. His only weak point is the top of his head, where he has a large X-shaped bandage. After three hits, Hisstocrat is defeated, and the Warp Box to the Goal Pole is revealed.

A female version of Hisstocrat named Queen Hisstocrat serves as the boss of World Bowser-B: Hisstocrat Returns, and fights alongside Hisstocrat in World Flower-12: Boss Blitz.
