Battling Luau
Luau is encountered at the end of the fourth level, Vanilla Heights. He has five hearts. Initially Luau only uses one attack, a straightforward punch. The best way to dodge this is by jumping, as Luau's gummy arms can really stretch! The only way to damage Luau is to jump on him first (which can be difficult when he begins to slide under you to avoid being jumped on), then hit him! After being hit, Luau will start swinging his arms furiously while running all around the arena. Attempting to jump on him at this point will only result in you losing a heart, so stay away from Luau until he calms down and stops running. Later in the battle, Luau will start to utilize another one of his boxing moves: he'll jump straight up into the air and then slam his body down! It's best to keep moving so he doesn't flatten you!
