MissionEdit

 
Fighting Bugaboom.

The Mandibugs have started attacking nearby planets, and to end the invasion, the leader of the Mandibugs, Bugaboom, must be defeated. To reach it, Mario (or Luigi) must travel through the starting planet, avoiding Boulders, Slurples, Piranha Plants, and Mandibugs along the way. Using a Bubble Blaster, he must go to the area at the bottom of the waterfall and travel through the tunnel to meet Queen Bee. On the other side of a pole is a small room with a Life Mushroom and some enemies. Once he arrives, Queen Bee asks him to help her and gives him a Launch Star that connects to the Mandibug Planet.

There are two small platforms before the Mandibug Planet that help Mario reach the planet through Banandelions and the Bee Mushroom. Mario then lands on the Bugaboom Planet, starting a battle with Bugaboom. To defeat Bugaboom, its back must be Ground Pounded three times. The first time, Bugaboom charges at Mario on the ground, and he must use a Bee Mushroom to get higher than it before and then Ground Pounding. The second time, Bugaboom starts flying, and he must fly up to some nearby honeycombs. He needs to stay there until Bugaboom passes below him while avoiding its bombs. Finally, after the second hit, Bugaboom grows angry and starts flying faster as well as sideways, preventing Mario from attacking it. He must wait until it flips back, and then use the Banandelions to get above it. When Bugaboom is defeated, a Power Star appears.
