Powers and Techniques

In which no character was able to deal any damage to her. As shown in the Bonetail battle, Vivan no longer needs them to harm someone who's above The Shadow Queen. Bonetail was stated by Goombella to be stronger than the Shadow Queen. And added with his better stats, it makes a lot of sense. Prior to that, Mario and co. couldn't harm the Armored Harriers at all, even losing the battle. Up until Mini-Yoshi came, they were able to defeat them, twice. The cast was then able to defeat the rest of the Glitz Pit fighters, each one being ranked higher than the other. They were able to defeat Bowser, who was able to one-shot Rawk Hawk, a previous boss.
