Version 1.2d - Final public release - Monday, August 16, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The following guide features my own personal strategies used to defeat
the bosses found in the Gameboy game, Wario Blast.  There may also be
some reader submitted strategies as well.  Those are marked as so.

Before anyone asks, no, I don't have the ROM to Wario Blast and no, I
will not send it to anybody (for obvious reasons), So please, do
yourself and me a favor and don't ask!

I. Guide Version History:

version 1.2d - August 16, 2004
Email change - [email protected]

version 1.2c – February 2, 2003
First, an email change: This faq has listed the wrong email address for
myself for a while now so I finally decided to upload a new version of
the FAQ with my new address.  Also, after reviewing the FAQ, I’ve
noticed plenty of little mistakes and badly worded strategies, so my
intention with this release is too reword them.  The previous release
*was* meant to be the final public release, but this is a much needed
update, I do believe.

version 1.2b - ?
(This was for some reason, an undocumented updated.)

version 1.2a - May 14th, 2001
This is just a minor redesign.  Nothing much is new except a couple
fixes in grammar and such.

version 1.2  - April 11th, 2001
Minor update about the final boss.  Got a tip emailed to me from ian
white <[email protected]> and it sounds pretty good to me so
I'm going on ahead and adding it here until I can come up with
something better. :)

version 1.11 - February 12th, 2001
Very minor update, just some tweaking of the redesign and some minor
rewording of some of the stuff here.  Btw, this just may turn into a
full-fledge Guide about the game and not just a Boss Guide...

version 1.10 - February 9th, 2001
The redesign is done.  It looks a lot better now.  Also I rewrote some
of the more weirder sounding Boss Strategies and changed what the
Abilities sections said about the abilities to what the game itself
says about them.

version 1.00 - February 7th, 2001
It's complete.  All boss strategies are complete, except the 8-4 boss
as he's a pain in the ass for me and I can't beat him for some odd
reason.  Grrr... Everything else is complete for now, and the next
update will hopefully have the 8-4 stuff and a much better design for
it.  (First version on GameFaqs.com.)

III. Wario Blast: Boss Strategies

-= Level 1-4 Boss =-
Prize: KICK Ability
Passwords: Wario 1415 - Bomberman 5141

There's no real strategy needed here.  Collect the items as fast as you
can while keeping away from the three little enemies that this boss
spawns.  Three blast hits will kill this boss and to hit it, you simply
need to just blast it.  Bombs will kill the little spawns easy, but if
you can just set a couple bombs in the boss's pathway, you should be
able to hit it pretty easily.


-= Level 2-4 Boss =-
Prize: DASH Ability
Passwords: Wario 9653 - Bomberman 3569

Go about collecting the items as fast as you can while avoiding the
boss.  To even hurt the boss, you have to get it to throw it's disc
thing and to do that, you have to sort of face him to make him do it.
Once he throw it, a bomb blast will hurt him, but the trick here is to
lay a bomb down just before he gets in a line of sight of you and then
make him stop and run the heck away before you die by your own blast.
Just remember that with each blast, he gets a tab bit faster.  Three
blasts will kill him and it'll be over.


-= Level 3-4 Boss =-
Prize: TROUNCER Ability
Passwords: Wario 8282 - Bomberman 2828

Collect stuff first.  Using the KICK ability here is your best bet. The
boss flies around somewhat random, but every so often will spit out
three or so spawns towards you which will eat your bombs as well.  You
want to hit him when he has his mouth open.  There is a trick to it.
Line up with him when he stops, and kick a bomb under and past him.  If
you do it quick enough the bomb will go off about the same time he
starts spitting out the things.  Four hits will kill him.


-= Level 4-4 Boss =-
Prize: LINER Ability
Passwords: Wario 4780 - Bomberman 0874

Collect the stuff first.  You want to at least have the ability to drop
at least three bombs here.  To hurt this boss, the bomb blasts has to
hit it when it sheds it's leaves.  This should be an easy battle,
mostly because the boss moves quite slow since you have the DASH
ability.  Use this slowness to your advantage and place three bombs at
intersections around the boss.  When you come close to the boss, it
sheds your leaves, so when you drop the bombs close, it should drop the
leaves right then and the bomb blast should knock it out.  Three or
four hits kill it.


-= Level 5-4 Boss =-
Prize: MOTO Ability
Passwords: Wario 6271 - Bomberman 1726

Collect all the items.  To harm this boss, you need to blast the boss
when he's throwing a lightning bolt at you.  The best way to do this is
place a bomb when he's coming towards you and move just as he starts to
throw the bolt.  Move out of the way really fast and the blast should
hit him.  He speeds up after every blast and it takes about six blasts.


-= Level 6-4 Boss =-
Passwords: Wario 8169 - Bomberman 9618

Collect all the items.  Now, to win, you've got to blast the boss three
times, however, you have to make him grow and blow up first. Blast him
once, he'll grow a bit.  Blast him a second time, he'll grow bigger.
Don't bother with another blast, just get outta the way.  Within
seconds, he'll blow up and the blast from it can kill you.  After that,
he'll be out of it for a second, and that's your point to blast him.
Keep repeating that cycle and three hits he'll be gone.


-= Level 7-4 Boss =-
Passwords: Wario 0117 - Bomberman 7110

Collect the items.  Now, you've got to hit the knight guy when he's
twirling his sword.  After a couple hits this way, he'll actually start
throwing the sword, like a boomerang.  Hit him once more when he does
NOT have the sword in hand, and you'll win.  This should only take
about five or so hits, but he's fast so don't underestimate him.


-= Level 8-4 Boss =-
Passwords: Wario 8513 - Bomberman 3158

Okay, I have not been able to beat this guy for some reason.  His
laser-ish blasts keep catching me every single time.  To hurt him,
however, you need to bomb him while he's letting out a missile.  How
many hits you need, I have no clue.  Anyone willing to help me out with
this can email me.

Here's a tip from ian white <[email protected]>:
"In Wario Blast you say you have not yet beaten the last boss , well if
at the start you quickly do a liner into him it jams him sometimes and
you may hit him. Then its just a case of circling him and blasting his
ass by blowing up his rocket the blast him when he's loading another
rocket .Then when its just his head just blast him like hell, I hope
this helps."
