==Battle==
The Winter Windster's arena is a large irregularly-shaped block of ice with four small magma pools on it. The arena is surrounded by sharp ice spikes.


This very strange creature has a variety of attacks. The first is a blast of cold air, which will freeze Wario in his tracks, leaving him vulnerable for a bit. In his second attack, Winter Windster ducks into one of the lava craters in the arena and sends out pulsing waves of energy which will KO Wario upon contact. He also shoots energy missiles (the purple ones home in, the blue ones don't). His final attack is an "Evil Eye" attack. If Wario looks into the Winter Windster's eyes when they start glowing red, the Winter Windster will phase out into bursts of energy which fill Wario up, making him float over the spikes outside the arena. Quickly shake the Control Stick to regain control before he lands on the spikes. Wario must turn his back to the Winter Windster to avoid the attack entirely.

The Winter Windster can also duck into one of the lava craters in the arena and send out pulsing shockwaves of energy which will hurt Wario upon contact. It also shoots blue energy missiles. The Winter Windster's final attack is the "Evil Eye" attack, which will cause it to phase out into bursts of energy if Wario looks into his eyes when they start glowing red.

The player can allow Wario to regain control before he lands on the ice spikes by shaking the Control Stick quickly. To avoid the attack, Wario has to turn backwards without looking at the Winter Windster's eye.


Throughout the entire fight, he drops explosive boulders from his cloud, which can squash Wario if they land on him. At any time, Wario can toss a boulder into one of the lava craters, sending out an explosion of lava that will knock the boss from the sky if it is over that crater.

The Winter Windster is the boss of Shivering Mountains and is fought by Wario in the game Wario World. It is the first boss of Thrillsville, and it is succeeded by Spideraticus and Red-Brief J.

Battle[edit]

The Winter Windster's arena is a large irregularly-shaped block of ice with four small magma pools on it. The arena is surrounded by sharp ice spikes.

It uses a variety of attacks in his battle. It can attack by breathing a stream of cold air, which will freeze Wario, leaving him vulnerable to be headbutted by the Winter Windster. The Winter Windster can also duck into one of the lava craters in the arena and send out pulsing shockwaves of energy which will hurt Wario upon contact. It also shoots blue energy missiles. The Winter Windster's final attack is the "Evil Eye" attack, which will cause it to phase out into bursts of energy if Wario looks into his eyes when they start glowing red. The energy causes Wario to be inflated, which causes him to float over the spikes outside the arena. The player can allow Wario to regain control before he lands on the ice spikes by shaking the Control Stick quickly. To avoid the attack, Wario has to turn backwards without looking at the Winter Windster's eye.
