- Climb the stairs, grab the Ultra Shroom from the ? Block, then use the Save Block. Enter the door when you're ready for the final battle.
Boss: Count Bleck
- In the beginning, Bleck will be invincible. After hitting him several times, a scene will unfold, and then the real fight will begin.
- This battle can be won in a variety of ways. If you can, I'd advise using the Bowser + Thudley combo to end this fight very fast.
- Alternatively, you can mount Bowser on Carrie and shoot fire while jumping and dodging his attacks.
- Luigi's super jumps also work well here, allowing you to attack the count from below, assuming you know where he is.
- His blobs of darkness are easy to avoid; just jump.
- If he uses a block hole, run in the opposite direction and you'll avoid it with ease.
- Now that Bleck is dealt with, it's all over isn't it? Unfortunately, it is not. Now it's time to right the real boss.

Final Boss: Super Dimentio
- Like with Bleck, you'll have to hit him a few times for the real battle, due to the invincibility he starts with. After the scene ends, prepare for the final battle.
- Using the same strategy that we used on Bleck makes this battle quick and easy. You may use Thudley for stomping or Carrie for burning, either way, Super Dimentio will fall in due time.
- YouTube: Super Dimentio Boss Battle (Time: 3:49)
- When you see a target coming for you, move out of the way or you'll take massive damage.
- Once Dimentio is beaten, you'll have beaten the game.
- Congratulations!
