Rathalos: Difference between revisions

{{character- infobox

As an Assist Trophy, he can strike the opponent with his claws or breathe fire onto the stage. When he roars, nearby fighters may be stunned. In the boss fight for Rathalos, the player fights him on a flat plains stage resembling the [https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Ancestral_Steppe Ancestral Steppe] from the ''Monster Hunter'' series. He is fought in the final round in the Classic Mode routes for [[Yoshi]], [[Marth]], [[Duck Hunt]], and [[Piranha Plant]]. He is also fought in the Classic Mode route for [[Bowser]], [[Hero]], and [[Sephiroth]], albeit before the final round (with [[Mario]] and [[Metal Mario (form)|Metal Mario]] for the final battle for Bowser, and with [[Robin]] and a giant [[Charizard]] for the final battle for Hero, while Sephiroth's route is akin to a boss rush, with Rathalos as the first opponent). During the boss fight, Rathalos can use all of its attacks from his Assist Trophy form (with its claws also dealing poison damage), while also being able to ram the player, swing its tail at them, and fly into them from the background. At certain points, Rathalos may retreat to the background and unleash massive fireballs which will carpet the ground on fire for a few seconds. Although it can be attacked anywhere at any moment when it is faced head on, the most effective method to fight Rathalos is by immobilizing it with items like [[Pitfall]]s and [[Deku Nut]]s, which can appear either randomly or by striking its tail.
