Spideraticus
Spideraticus is a gigantic spider boss whom Wario must defeat at the end of Beanstalk Way during the events of Wario World. The arena consists of a network of roots of a tree with Spideraticus's giant spider web taking up about 80% of the stage. Wario cannot jump while on the web, so he must stay on the outside until an opportunity to attack arises.
Spideraticus has quite a few attacks. The first is a shockwave attack that must be jumped over. When Spideraticus has two or less health skulls remaining, he adds another, faster shockwave. The spider boss's second attack is to fire homing bursts at Wario. Again, the lower Spideraticus's health, the more bursts are shot.
Third, Spideraticus could shoot five Glue Globes at Wario, suck them in one by one and bite Wario if he gets stuck on one. (it is this attack that gives Wario a chance to attack) Spideraticus may shoot a small, almost invisible web at Wario to bring him in closer for a bite. If Wario got caught, he must dash away to free himself from the sticky string. Finally, Spideraticus may bite Wario is he gets too close.
In order to defeat him, Wario must to grab onto one of the Glue Globes that the arachnid shoots out, hang onto it and, when close enough, jump off it and Ground Pound his head or body. Then Wario had to use a Piledriver, Wild Swing-Ding, or Power Throw to damage the spider boss. After repeating five times, this mini-boss gave way, leading to the big Boss, Red-Brief J.
Spideraticus is one of two mini-bosses in Thrillsville, preceded by Winter Windster.
