Other

Standard Tactics:

Daroach attacks by accurately throwing small bombs (which can be inhaled for the Bomb ability), shooting beams of ice across the screen using his scepter, and blasting three ricocheting stars with the Triple Star that evaporate after a few seconds. He also teleports around the room, making it hard to attack him. In Star Allies he will also use friend hearts.

His attacks are upgraded versions of the attacks he used in the first battle. His ice beam attack now shoots a larger, more powerful beam. The bombs he throws are now red, larger, and far stronger to the point that they cannot be destroyed by Kirby using a copy ability.

Weaknesses: Due to his extreme greed he can get himself into bad situations, such as the events of Squeak Squad where he was possessed by Dark Nebula.
