"According to my investigation, you must lure Glamdozer in close, then KER-THWOMP! Know what I mean?"

—The Hint Toad gives a hint regarding how Glamdozer can be beaten.

Glamdozer is a large bug-like boss in Super Mario Galaxy 2, making her only appearance in the Flipsville Galaxy as the boss of the mission Flip-Flopping In Flipsville. Her name is revealed when Mario leaves the second Garden House Planet and the Hint Toad gives a hint on her weakness. She is an adult Pupdozer who rules the species as a whole. She resides on a large green planet shaped like a circle with six grates that Mario needs to use to damage her.

Appearance

Glamdozer is a adult Pupdozer whose body is mostly red and whose face and bottom is yellow. She wears a crown and has a spike on her back, which protects her from above. She has a explosion emblem on her belly.

Battle

Glamdozer is first seen sleeping, so she does not do anything when Mario arrives, although he will take damage if they make contact. To provoke a fight with her, Mario must hit central grate from the underside. This will get her attention. Then, the player must return to the underside of the platform and try to hit her again. If Glamdozer isn't standing over a gate, the player must stand on the nearest gate and wait until she charges toward it. She can also fire large flaming orbs that can get caught in the gates, making it impossible for the player to flip it until the fire evaporates. Glamdozer can also chase the player to the other side of the arena as well. When hit two more times, Glamdozer will get angry and will have faster attacks and more awareness. After Glamdozer is defeated, she tries to stand only to collapse out of exhaustion, and a Power Star will appear.
