As you begin to walk across, you’ll see fireballs come in from the sky at an angle.They’ll break the blocks when they come into contact.
Run across this section, attacking enemies where necessary.Dodge the fireballs as you go.Watch out for the large fireballas you jump onto the platform at the end.

At the next bridge, you’ll need toavoid the fireballs again. There’s a red star beneath the third one that you can jump up to collect. When the slope flattens, you’ll need torun between the two fireballs quickly when there’s a gap. Attack the enemies that run your way, then head through the star door on the right.

How To Defeat Dubior
Dubior acts similar to how it does in previous boss fights.
Itflits around the arena, produces mini versions of itself that itshoots at you, and it shootselectricity at you from above. It alsocharges across the screen at you and crasheswhen it hits the other side of the arena, giving you the opening to attack.
However, while you’re dodging Dubior’s attacks,the ground below you isn’t stable. The platform continually moves to the left.Gaps appear in the platform, and ledges with regular enemies inside also appear. You’ll need to watch out for these, asthey may attack you from below.
The best strategy for this fight is tostay up in the air.This way, you can avoid attacks from below, as well as Dubior’s attacks from above.
