| ~ Bouldergeist in Super Mario Manga Mania. |
Bouldergeist is a supporting antagonist in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.
He is a huge rocky monster made of rocks and matter who appears as the main boss of Ghostly Galaxy and reappears as a mini-boss in Boss Blitz Galaxy. In his first appearance, he’s the one who kidnapped Luigi and locked him up in the Ghostly Galaxy, making him the exact reason why Luigi was separated from the Toad Brigade.
Appearance[]
Bouldergeist is a massive entity armored by numerous gray rocks that also shape horns and has yellow eyes. His hands are also made of the same tone of gray rock matter.
In his true form, which is revealed when Mario/Luigi weakens him with Bomb Boos, Bouldergeist is much smaller and has a red uvula with a black face.
Biography[]
Prior to his boss fight, Boldergeist abducted Mario’s younger twin brother, Luigi, and trapped him inside of a small room in the Ghostly Galaxy. After rescuing the green plumber, Mario/Luigi fights the ghost in the stage "Beware of Bouldergeist" on the final planet. Bouldergeist can create rocks from his matter to crush Mario/Luigi; some are colored golden and contain coins, while others are black and contain Bomb Boos. To defeat him, Mario/Luigi will have to spin two Bomb Boos towards him to destroy his rocky armor and a third to damage him while he is reduced to matter. After this, he will reform, but now with two large floating rock hands. He can swipe and slam his hands, and even create stalacites that will damage Mario/Luigi if they spawn under them and act as obstacles to them, but that they can destroy using Star Spins or Bomb Boos. Mario/Luigi don't have to destroy the arms, but they will have to destroy his face again, which the hands make harder to do due to the fact that Bomb Boos will also explode if they hit them instead of his face. Once his uvula-like core is hit with another Bomb Boo, the boss explodes and exposes the Power Star.
If a Daredevil Comet lands in orbit of the Ghostly Galaxy, Mario/Luigi must face Bouldergeist again with only one hit point, and Bouldergeist will not throw golden rocks. Defeating him under these conditions awards Mario/Luigi with another Power Star.
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Bouldergeist is the fourth boss fought in the Boss Blitz Galaxy, and his defeat creates a Launch Star that leads to the next planet, where Fiery Dino Piranha is fought.
