Spoiler ends here: You looked! Even if I told you not too!Battle
Phase 1
The Kretin has four phases. It becomes Alpha Kretin in Phase 1. In this form, it is pentagonal, with one Kretin in the centre. It attacks by firing blasts of energy from its arm cannon (can be repelled via hammer.). It can only be damaged if the player smashes the boss's orbs. The red orbs are immune to Luigi's attacks and the green ones are immune to Mario's attacks. Once the orbs are destroyed in their entirety, the Kretin falls apart.
Phase 2
When it enters Phase 2, the Kretin takes on its Beta form. It can create duplicates of itself (Like Dreamy Mario does in his own battle in Mario and Luigi: Dream Team) and the Kretin copies can form a laser relay with their bodies. Mario and Luigi have to jump the laser. After their turn, the Beta Kretin and the duplicates can shuffle around. The fakes have only 1 hit point, the real one takes damage normally and has to be destroyed in order to win the fight.
Phase 3
The third phase plays out like Phase 1 does, but it has a triangular form.
Phase 4
Phase 4 is identical to Phase 2, except the replica laser relay lasts longer.
Alpha Kretin-X
Once the Alpha Kretin has been destroyed, Class 2 is automatically unlocked in the Challenge Node located deep inside Bowser. In order for Mario and Luigi to participate in Class 2 and fight Alpha Kretin-X, the two must pay a toll of four hundred coins. Once the toll has been paid, the Kretin reappears in its more powerful form, in which the Beta Kretins assume a different appearance, making them look more fierce and solid.
Trivia
- Alpha Kretin represents AlphaDream's logo. This is possibly based on their logo.
- In the remake, the green Alpha Kretin blobs have surprised expressions, while the blue ones seem to be sleeping.
