Burt the Bashful

He bounces around the arena. Hit him with eggs from a distance, then move away before his next landing.

Boss · World 1-8

Salvo the Slime

Shrinks when hit by eggs and drops Lemon Drops; swallow small drops to make more eggs. Defeating him gives the Big Key.

Quick notes

  • Prepare before the boss door. Burt the Bashful ends World 1-4, and Salvo the Slime ends World 1-8.
  • Give Burt room to land. Burt attacks with bouncing movement.
  • Use Salvo's own drops as supplies. Salvo loses size when struck by eggs and produces Lemon Drops during the battle.
FIELD NOTE

Separate dodging, restocking and aiming into clear moments while learning a boss.
