Major Burrows is invincible while underground; The player must wait until he pops partially out of the ground and perform a Ground Pound. This knocks Major Burrows completely above ground and he will run frantically away from Mario, who must Star Spin him to do damage, after which he becomes angrier and burrows back underground. This process must be repeated two more times, and each time Major Burrows moves more quickly.
