**Chapter 1**

Our first boss is Greenfist. As soon as the fight starts, walk up to him and perform a 3-hit combo. After this step is done jump above Greenfist and perform a ground pound, this single ground pound should hit 3 more times. After the ground pound hits Greenfist, he should start to charge up an attack. At this point walk to the northernmost part of the arena and jump over him as he gets close. This will cause him to take his first point of damage. As Greenfist is recovering, position Wario as close to the northernmost ledge as possible with Wario facing toward the camera. When Greenfist lands in front of Wario again, simply punch a single time then attempt to grab him immediately. Once you grab him perform a piledriver without moving from the original position. This will do two more skulls of damage to Greenfist. Once he lands on the platform again, he will scream and give you the boss medal and the fight will be over.

**Chapter 2**

Our next boss is Antlion. The first two cycles of the fight are the same as a casual run. Run up to the boss and perform a 3-hit combo until they have 3 skulls remaining. Antlion will attempt to go to the center of the arena to perform an invincible attack. This attack can be interrupted by attacking just before the boss becomes invincible (link below shows a cycle skip). After interrupting the invincible attack, dodge a charge attack that cannot be interrupted. After this attack the antlion will repeat the process of going into the center, repeat the cycle interruption again until antlion is dead.

**Chapter 3**

Our first world boss is Dinomighty. To perform a quick version of the fight, stand still for about a second until she leans down, fully jump, then ground pound. This should knock her out instantly. Pick her up then perform a piledriver, once done you don't need to move at all. The next step is to wait for about another second after Wario touches the ground after the piledriver, then jump and ground pound again as she is about to jump back up. This should also instantly stun Dinomighty again. Repeat this process until the boss fight is over.

**Chapter 4**

Brawl Doll is our next level boss. A fast fight can be done similarly to a casual playthrough boss fight. For the doll's first life, attack them normally until they are stunned and perform a piledriver. For lives' 2 through 5 grab the pillars around the arena while dodging the lasers that Brawl Doll will shoot. After each round of lasers Brawl Doll will become vulnerable, throw a pillar at it to stun it and repeat the process until the fight is over. Please note that pillars *should* respawn after they are all destroyed.

**Chapter 5**

Clown Around has an interesting strategy for beating them. The fight will start with the boss rolling their circus ball across a tightrope toward you. Simply wait in place until they throw the ball away and remove their heads to become vulnerable and stun them as you would any other enemy. At this point, pick them up and perform a charged throw toward the opposite platform. This will make the boss jump back on their circus ball and travel toward Wario again. (Link below to show reference.)

https://www.twitch.tv/dip92/clip/CoweringLovelyApeArgieB8-bkRT2DNUD0cbCP_R

In the next part of the fight, Clown around will return to your side and throw their ball and remove their heads again. Stun them again at this point and perform a piledriver. Once done, the boss will spawn another circus ball and attempt to flee. Jump onto one of the glue globes attached to the ball to follow them. Once across, stun them again and perform another charged throw toward the opposite platform. This is where things get tricky, after throwing Clown Around across the gap wait for three seconds and walk off the stage closest to the opposite platform. This will cause Wario to spawn on the side with Clown Around on it as they return to the platform. The boss will have thrown their ball across the gap toward the previous platform. Hit them as soon as possible after Wario respawns to cause them to flee then follow them like before by jumping on a glue globe. Once across, stun the boss again and repeat the previous step to complete the fight. (Link below for respawn timing)

**Chapter 6**

Dual Dragon is a very easy boss to defeat. As the fight starts, punch one of the dragon heads repeatedly to stun them until they get hit by a fire blast from the opposite head. After the fire goes away start punching the opposite head six times and wait for another fire blast from the previous head. This should have done two skulls of damage thus far. Now you will have to wait because the head you just stunned will now shoot glue globes out of its mouth and the opposite one will suck them in. After the glue globe are gone, stun the head that shot the glue globes out by hitting it six times again and wait for another fire blast. Repeat the previous step one more time and if you're successful, Dual Dragon should have two skulls remaining. Stun one of the dragon heads again until it is hit by another fire blast. This time, Dual Dragon will shoot another fire blast immediately. Try to stun the opposite dragon head again to complete the boss fight. (Link below shows the gist of the fight)

https://www.twitch.tv/dip92/clip/HungryCrepuscularChowderCorgiDerp-RjXHyuSNFt7OuzTJ

**Chapter 7**

Winter Windster is a floating boss that drops cannonballs periodically between it's attacks. To defeat the boss wait until they drop a cannonball, grab it, then stand next to the west crater. The boss will attack with a chilling breath to freeze Wario. Allow this to hit Wario then break out as soon as possible and punch the boss until they are stunned. after they are stunned pick up the cannonball again and throw it into the northern crater. Come back to pick up Winter Windster and piledrive them next to the northern crater. After this piledriver the boss will attempt to float up again, but they should get hit by the fire flowing from the crater and become vulnerable again. Stun winter windster again, then piledrive them next to the western crater. They will float up into the air again at this point and drop cannonballs again. Grab a cannonball without being crushed by other potential cannonballs spawning, then throw it into the eastern crater to stun the boss. More cannonballs should have spawned right before the east crater erupted. After the boss is stunned, pick up another cannonball and throw it into the eastern crater again. Pick up the boss and piledrive them next to the eastern crater and punch them again after they get hit by the eruption. At this point, simply wait until Winter Windster perform another breath attack. Allow this to hit Wario again then break out and punch the boss until they are stunned. Perform a piledriver to complete the fight. (Link below for the gist of the fight)

https://www.twitch.tv/dip92/clip/BreakablePuzzledWormMcaT-HuJegFEK6Z6QfhGF

**Chapter 8**

Spideraticus is a fast paced boss that many consider to be the hardest fight in the game. To start the fight, dodge the first attack by jumping over it, then wait for the next attack. Once the next attack begins charging, take one step to the side then perform a corkscrew conk toward Spideraticus. If done properly, this should hit the boss one time. As soon as Wario lands from the corkscrew conk, perform a dash to hit the boss at least four more times, then perform a punch combo to fully stun the boss. At this point, pick up the boss and walk to the edge of the web, then perform a piledriver. Make sure you are facing the web when performing the pileriver. Spideraticus will try to return to the center of the arena after it recovers, intercept by running behind him then ground pounding over the boss. Stagger punches after this first hit until the boss is stunned again. Repeat this process until the boss is defeated. (Link below shows placements of piledrivers and punch patterns.)

https://www.twitch.tv/ruffeline/clip/BlushingBashfulNarwhalOSkomodo-1tkYBsiR_Sewqc15

**Chapter 9**

Red-Brief J is simply a waiting game for the most part. As far as strategy goes, there are many different ways to fight Red-Brief J. However the safest fast strategy goes as such. For the first skull of damage, simply walk around the boss toward the edge of the platform behind Red-Brief J and wait for him to charge. Once he has charged at the ledge, perform a ground pound near the center of the arena to knock him into the lava without damaging Wario. For the second skull, walk straight toward a flat edge of the arena and wait for the boss to follow you. Once he starts his next attack, perform a ground pound to cancel it. If done correctly, the boss should bounce closer to the center of the arena. Once they stop bouncing, punch them quickly to trigger their next attack. They will glow pink and perform a spinning move. Allow yourself to get hit by this to end the animation faster. After Wario recovers, get to the closest edge and dodge the charges Red-Brief J does. (Link below for skull 2)

https://www.twitch.tv/dip92/clip/SlipperyIcyOrangePupper-ErafnfZfAkRSCVSg

For the third skull, Simply walk as far away from the boss as possible to trigger their attacks faster. Red-Brief J will use two attacks on this skull, then perform his charges. Dodge the charges as usual, then ground pound to complete the skull. Skull four requires precise movement. To start the skull off, you'll want to stand somewhat close to the boss, roughly about a full stride away. Now we want Red-Brief J to start walking after us out onto the grate part of the platform. To make him walk with Wario, we want to stay as close to the boss as possible without getting hit by his stomps. Once out on the grate, the boss will perform a shooting attack, ground pound the platform to cancel the attack. Once his attack is canceled, walk far away again to trigger his next attack faster. Wait for his charges again near the edge of the arena, then dodge them as usual to end the skull. (Link below shows how to "walk" Red-Brief J)

https://www.twitch.tv/dip92/clip/PlumpArtisticMartenYouWHY-da8aHokxrPQM-1T6

For the fifth and final skull, Walk as far away from the boss to trigger their attacks as soon as possible. For his second attack, he should perform a spinning attack from before. Allow Wario to get hit by this spinning attack, then be prepared to dodge Red-Brief J's Charge attacks. After the charges, ground pound near the center of the arena to send him into the lava.

Note: Red-Brief J is ***NOT*** defeated until they land on the platform and begin to fall over.

**Chapter 10**

Mean Emcee is admittedly not much different to fight in a speedrun compared to a normal playthrough. To start the fight, run up to the boss and start using staggered punches until they either start crouching, or until you hit them five times. If Mean Emcee crouches, he becomes invincible and must finish his charging move until he can be hit a fifth time. After the fifth hit during every cycle, the boss will enter a cup and perform a game of guess the cup with you. Simply follow the cup the boss is in to the best of your ability, then punch the correct cup once on the ground, then once in the air to knock Mean Emcee out of said cup. Perform a piledriver to the boss and repeat the process until the fight is over. (Link Below to show gist of the fight)

https://www.twitch.tv/dip92/clip/FaintThankfulShrewThunBeast-NDBV-0NwU2emVWCH

Note: Mean Emcee is **NOT** defeated until they explode.

**Chapter 11**

Ironsider is an Invincible entity with floating hands spawning in the arena periodically. To defeat the boss, simply stun a hand, then throw it at Ironsider for a skull of damage. You can also piledrive a hand into Ironsider for a skull of damage as well. Sadly, there is not much advice to give about Ironsider, other than to aim your throws carefully to ensure you hit the boss instead of another hand. At the beginning of the fight only two hands will spawn, but more will start spawning throughout the fight. These hands can also be destroyed by Ironsider's fire breath attack. To dodge this attack, simply perform small circles around the boss following the direction they are spinning. Once you hit Ironsider with five hands, they will scream and the fight will be over. (Link below for the entire fight)

https://www.twitch.tv/dip92/clip/GentlePuzzledEggNinjaGrumpy-zv3RLfiVzi8V8fkM

**Chapter 12**

Captain Skull is a very quick fight if done properly. To start off, jump onto the spring and launch yourself across toward the opposite ship from where Wario is currently. Next, perform a punch combo on the boss to stun him. Once stunned, pick up the boss and carry them over to the northeastern side of the ship. In this area, there is a small ledge with a barrel on it. Jump onto the ledge with Captain Skull then stand as close to the left edge as possible while also facing left. Perform a piledriver, then immediately turn around and grab the barrel. At this point Captain Skull will try to jump away to start his next cycle. To stop this, hit him with the barrel as they get up to stun them again. If done properly, you should be able to pick the boss back up. Now, travel to the southeastern side of the ship and repeat the previous step. After Captain Skull is stunned with another barrel, there will be a ledge to the right with two more barrels on it. Jump down to it and position yourself far enough away from the barrels to prevent their destruction. Piledrive the boss again, grab a barrel, time your throw, then repeat the process once more until the fight is complete. (Link below for the entire fight)

**Chapter 13**

The final boss of the game is Black Jewel. To start the fight, Black Jewel will spawn five crystals the hold Spritelings in them. To make the boss vulnerable, you must break all of the crystals, Then you can perform a very short Wild Swing Ding on Black Jewel to damage it. To break the crystals as fast as possible, wait for the boss to shoot a fire laser across the ground. Walk somewhat close to the fire column, then start dashing to the right over and over until you come across a crystal. With a good angle on your dashes, Wario should be able to break these crystals while he's running. If a crystal doesn't break, simply cancel your dash and punch it, then start dashing again until the boss is stunned. There is a chance that before your break the final crystal on each cycle for Black Jewel to shoot fireballs around the arena. This attack tried to home in on Wario, and can interrupt your attack on Black Jewel so be sure to simply wait if needed. Repeat this process seven times to defeat the boss and win the game! (Link below shows an optimal phase of the fight.)

4. Chapter 4 - Wonky Circus
5. Chapter 5 - Shivering Mountains
6. Chapter 6 - Beanstalk Way

9. Chapter 9 - Closing Remarks

***Chapter 1***

The first trick is very straightforward. In Greenhorn Forest there are two bridges near the end of the level with a "scripted" Unithorn lair below. In order to skip this tutorial, simply perform a dash jump at the center of the bridge just as it's about to collapse as shown below.

![](/static/blob/qnypx33n.png)

**Chapter 2**

This next trick requires a semi-precise angle. In Greenhorn Ruins after the first wall of Glue Globes, there is a sub-level to the left and more glue globes plus a gap to the right. Once you've completed the sub-level, return to the right and dash against the railing at about a 45 degree angle facing right. If Wario travels along the railing without bumping off, you can jump across the gap if timed perfectly. (The picture shows the angle and spot where you'd need to press jump)

![](/static/blob/4zjwlrle.png)

**Chapter 3**

Horror Manor has two important skips to start off the level. The first trick is one that uses a bit of physics abuse with a hill at the very start. In the picture below, there is a circled part of the hill in question that Wario can stand on.

![](/static/blob/3nv1wq8n.png)

Once Wario is in position, have him look straight up the wall and perform an immediate dash jump to try and force Wario toward the plateau above. If performed correctly, Wario's jump should look similar to the picture below. (This tree makes it hard to see, but he's there I promise) Performing this trick sets us up to go into our first sub-level in Horror Manor, and also sets up to skip another major roadblock called The Bonehand (more on him later).

![](/static/blob/dz482rke.png)

Our next skip is directly after the hill jump shown above. In Horror Manor there are two gates that block Wario off from completing the level called Bonehands. This first Bonehand can be skipped with a relatively new, yet simple to perform glitch. Firstly, follow the top of the plateau along the fence after completing the first sub-level. You should hit an invisible barrier around this area.

![](/static/blob/wzxx5ldz.png)

Once in position, you can jump down onto the top of the gate. From here small movements are needed to be safe and precise. Walk slowly to make Wario waddle gently into the invisible barrier. Waddling is needed to position Wario as close as possible, if Wario runs, he will bounce backwards from the barrier and be thrown off of the gate during the attempt of this trick.

![](/static/blob/pzmw22we.png)

Now that you're waddling, all you have to do is wait. The Bonehand will attempt a slam attack against you. Let this attack hit Wario, then hold the control stick to the right. If done correctly, Wario will pass through the barrier during his getup animation.

![](/static/blob/xz059gxn.png)

After skipping through the first Bonehand you will dash across a narrow path toward two stone pillars. This spot marks a Crystal Entity mini boss fight. To skip it, simply jump north of the white fence seen in the picture below and walk to the right until you reach the graveyard section.

![](/static/blob/4zjwjd1e.png)

Lastly in Horror Manor is it's arena. You will fight through a house past four doors with Lion heads on them and into a room with a giant hole in the center. Once here, position Wario at the northernmost point of the hole. Look toward the hole directly south and dash, Wario will tumble onto the edge of the arena below without triggering it. If you walk to the right, you should be able to continue the level as intended.

![](/static/blob/3nv1511n.png)

**Chapter 4**

In our next world Wonky Circus, there are two more gates similar to The Bonehands in Horror Manor called Clown Gates. Skipping both gates in this level is possible without glitches, but takes a lot of practice. Our first gate is located near the first sub-level in the area, and can be skipped by using the tent in the background for more physics abuse. To begin the trick have Wario jump above the trap door that leads to the first sub-level and onto the tent.

![](/static/blob/kzwrdx8e.png)

After touching the roof of the tent you'll want to jump again as far up the tent as possible. After this second jump, make Wario ground pound on top of the tent just before he lands again. This will stop Wario from sliding anywhere and help to keep control. If done correctly, Wario should be about here.

![](/static/blob/xzd4d5vz.png)

After Wario gets up from his ground pound he will start sliding down the tent, at this point you must try to execute an immediate dash jump.

![](/static/blob/1n57m0ke.png)

Once this jump is done, you will have to perform two more dash jumps consecutively until you reach about halfway around the tent's roof from front to back. At this point the trick is pretty much done. Wario should be past the Clown Gate's barrier by this point and you should be able to jump off the tent toward a sub-level seen in the distance.

![](/static/blob/1n73gd9e.png)

Another obstacle in Wonky Circus is a Crystal Entity fight halfway through the level. In order to properly skip it, stand on the edge of the block and perform a ground pound to break it. Wario should only have one foot touching the block as this is attempted.

![](/static/blob/3nv15m1n.png)

After the block is broken, Wario should still be standing on the border where the block used to be. At this point you can jump down the hole, this is done to let Wario move freely midair. If Wario keeps grabbing the ledge on his way down, input a punch just as he's about to grab the ledge to prevent it.

![](/static/blob/dz481wwe.png)

As you fall, you will see a circular area below you. The goal is to aim for the very edge of the area to avoid triggering the Crystal Entity. Once you land safely, walk along the edge until you reach the path on the right. Please note that there is some leeway here, you don't have to land on top of this ledge, but at least right next to it for the trick to be a success.

![](/static/blob/rz25gv8z.png)

Our next gate is heavily position based. After the arena fight in Wonky Circus, you will come up to a blue treasure platform on a wooden walkway with a small plank leading south. Our jump begins here, have Wario line up with a shadow visible on the platform facing to the right (red line for reference).

![](/static/blob/ynl2yjme.png)

Once in position, perform a dash jump from the very edge of the plank and hold A throughout the entire jump, this helps ensure you get the best height and distance for the trick.

![](/static/blob/dz4827we.png)

If done correctly, you will land on the column shown below between the Unithorn lair and Clown Gate. Hold the control stick right during this time or else you will slide into the Unithorn lair.

![](/static/blob/wzxx5drz.png)

As you hold toward the right while on this column, perform a dash. This will cause Wario to tumble forward and slide between the walls of the column and the gate.

![](/static/blob/rz25308z.png)

**Chapter 5**

Shivering Mountains is where a lot of runners place their distain for the game with one reason being the difficulty of the first arena skip, and another being the Angler Mangler mini bosses. For the latter of the two, there is a glitch we can perform simply called "3.8". To execute the glitch, grab a Barrel Buster (snowman dude), then walk underneath the Angler Mangler's light as normal. Once in position, perform a pile driver as soon as Wario leaves the ground. With practice, this should get the appropriate height of the piledriver. Please note the measurement of 3.8 is based on height of the piledrive itself and can be seen in the upper right corner after every piledriver. After you successfully do a 3.8 piledrive, the Angler Mangler will take damage the moment he becomes vulnerable again over and over until it is defeated. Do NOT press the B button, or the R trigger during the glitch pressing either input resets the glitch and you'll have to start again. (The height of when you should piledrive is shown below.)

![](/static/blob/pzmwrjke.png)

The First arena in Shivering Mountains can be skipped in a number of ways, but we will be going over the most consistent method by author's opinion.  After defeating the Angler Mangler mini boss, jump down the middle of the slope until you hit a ramp in the center, jump off of it and land to the southern wall of this plateau.

![](/static/blob/yzro1vjz.png)

Once here, travel along the bottom wall until you see an snow bear with a club. pick him up and align with a breakable block to the right and lightly throw him to break the block.

![](/static/blob/qzp7g36z.png)

Here's where thing get tricky! By barely touching the control stick, have Wario waddle over to the edge of the hole until he starts teetering. Try to be as close to the camera as possible for the setup. This step sets up to help give Wario maximum left to right movement.

![](/static/blob/5e14lome.png)

Once Wario is teetering for his life, simply input a punch then hold right on the control stick.

![](/static/blob/oeogr94n.png)

Once you are out from the square hole, start holding slightly down and right on the control stick. This will lead you to the closest wall of the arena below. Just as you are about to touch the outline of the arena, input a ground pound while still holding the previous inputs. Wario should bounce on the outer ring of the arena and fall out.

![](/static/blob/3ekx3krn.png)

Note: Sometimes this ground pound isn't enough on it's own, if this is the case, try spamming a jump to force Wario out.

Shivering Mountains has two arenas in it. The second one is extremely easy to skip if you know how. After exiting the cave section of the mountains, you will come across another raised platform with the arena inside. All you need to do is walk to the very top of the arena before stepping into it, then walk along the northern wall to the other side. (In the picture you can see the angle of which you need to walk.)

![](/static/blob/xz059pxn.png)

**Chapter 6**

Beanstalk Way is notorious for having strangely difficult tricks near the beginning and end of the level. Near the beginning of the level there is a plateau with a sub-level, a red treasure platform, and a few birds (Ideally you would have just completed the mentioned sub-level directly before this trick). Perform a dash toward the small waterfall southeast of where you spawn. Wait here for a moment as the birds try to follow you, and as they are about to reach the water, jump back onto land closest to the wall on the right. At this point the birds should be grouped up next to the waterfall, you will try to jump on top of a bird from here.

![](/static/blob/kzwrd08e.png)

If positioned correctly, you can land on a surface near the top of the waterfall and skip fighting a mini boss in the area. This trick also allows us to have access to a sub-level faster than we'd naturally come across.

![](/static/blob/xzd4dlvz.png)

After completing the previous trick and beating another sub-level, you should notice a dangling ladder in the middle of the area. Wario's jump can barely reach this ladder without enemy help if he stands close to the southern wall.

![](/static/blob/1n57mqke.png)

Once in position, perform a full jump while holding up on the control stick while aimed toward the lowest point on the ladder. This trick allows Wario to get back up to the main route while skipping the wild swing ding.

![](/static/blob/1n73gy9e.png)

After completing the free-fall sub-level, there is an arena with a breakable block over top of it. Do NOT break through this block, instead just dash jump to the right as much as you can from the ledge. This skips the arena in its entirety, but there is also a statue part within that arena, so remember to come back for it after defeating the area boss.

![](/static/blob/7n64rlmz.png)

Beanstalk Way's second arena is a different story from the first. after traveling past a hill filled with charging rams and defeating a Tree Demon, you will climb some glue globes up toward the second arena. To avoid getting trapped, carefully jump along the pedals of the arena platform to avoid the circle trigger zone (use ground pounds if needed for precision).

![](/static/blob/rnq1pjwe.png)

Just as you have skipped the second arena, there is a giant yellow flower you must land on to proceed. A Crystal Entity fight will trigger if you walk in the center of this flower. To avoid it, simply walk along the outer parts of the petals until you reach the next flower.

![](/static/blob/yzrokmjz.png)

**Chapter 7**

Mirror Mansion provides a significant increase in difficulty for runners. There are three areas (technically two) in this world that can be skipped and save time. Our first area is roughly 1/3 the way through the level after the first Terrible Portrait fight. Follow the intended path until you fall down a hole, once there, head right until you hit a wall then have Wario stand against the northern wall and wait for an enemy to approach.

![](/static/blob/7e9j141n.png)

Once the enemy is close enough to the northern wall, you can bounce on his head to gain height.

![](/static/blob/ynl2ywme.png)

Bouncing on the enemy and holding up on the control stick should allow Wario to grab onto the grate above him. Once he has grabbed ahold of the grate, simply jump to the right and over the first wall.

![](/static/blob/7z36ydlz.png)

This next jump is almost just like the previous one. Travel toward the right until you are under an overhang of a walkway with ninja birds littering the area. Lure a bird to the southernmost part of the screen.

![](/static/blob/qnypx7dn.png)

Much like the first jump, bounce on the enemy until Wario grabs the edge of the walkway. It's possible to jump on one of these birds as they attack to gain extra height if needed. This time however, once you grab the walkway, jump immediately in order to stay on top of the walkway, then continue as intended.

Once you have fallen down the third hole in this level then beaten the sub-level to the right, a Terrible Portrait boss will be toward the left. This version of the boss can be skipped by simply jumping around his barrier. To perform this safely, stand on the railing close to the left side of the area lined up with the edge of the Terrible Portrarit's leftmost hand.

Once here, jump outward toward the camera and try to strafe around to the other side of the Terrible Portrait wall. If done correctly, Wario should land about here on the other railing and be able to progress.

**Chapter 8**

Pecan Sands is the last area in the game and with it comes some surprisingly easy tricks and skips. There are four jumps Wario can make in this level that are much faster than the intended route in this level with one being done as soon as we spawn in. For our first jump Wario spawns in a sandy alley of sorts with a column behind him and a ledge northwest of him.

Run toward the sandfall and jump to grab the ledge next to the red button, then jump up next to the red button. This saves time due to the 15 second commute Wario would have to walk around otherwise. It also sets up for you to get two sub-levels, and gets us to our next jump.

Traveling to the left after the previous trick leads past two palm trees toward a gap. Simply dash toward the gap in question and jump at the last possible second to clear it. This skips a very brief climbing section and lands us closer to our next sub-level.

After completing two more sub-levels, you should come across a Glue Globe waterfall of sorts with a light blue treasure platform and a mini boss blocking a ladder to the left. to skip this mini boss, grab ahold of a falling Glue Globe while its at the highest it can be.

Once you grab ahold of the Glue Globe, jump left and strafe upwards toward the treasure platform seen in the picture. Wario should land safely on the walkway setting up for our next trick immediately after. Be careful however, the mini boss has a move that can suction Wario toward itself, so make sure it doesn't drag you back off.

Coming up immediately after the light blue treasure platform is a giant creatrue head that creates a sand slide toward an arena. In order to skip the arena and the sand slide quickly, stand on the ledge next to the leftmost claw of the creature head and aim directly left of the camera. Perform a dash jump while on this ledge and hold the A button throughout the jump. Wario should land next to a pillar that leads him to a Blue Spriteling.
