Mecha Birdo
From I Wanna Be The Guy Wiki
Mecha Birdo is a boss in I Wanna Be The Guy. It first appears in the GBA version of Super Mario Bros. 2. It shoots missles that you have to jump on, while shooting its' weak point (its' antenna). After the antenna is destroyed, it will shoot missiles faster and will also shoot deadly laser blasts. This boss is notable because it is very, very hard to beat, possibly even the hardest boss in the game. Put in "Mecha Birdo Cloud8745" in the YouTube search engine to see what this mechanized Birdo does to some people.
In the IWBTG version, after the laser blasts ends, Mecha Birdo shoots eggs extremely fast, which if The Kid touches the end of, he will die. It is possible to die at the same time as Mecha Birdo and still be sent on.
Strategy: It's advised that you run onto an egg near Birdo while the battle is starting. Wait until the weak point is near the same level as The Kid, and hit your fire button as fast as you can. (Since the bullets go away when they hit, you will be able to continue to fire.) Once it begins getting over your height again, jump and shoot. This will probably bring it to the lasers in around 10 seconds. Now, try your best to dodge the lasers, while shooting at its eyes. This is VERY difficult, as the lasers come out of the eyes. Be ready as soon as the lasers are off, as now all the red ends of the eggs will kill you. Hit Birdo in the mouth while its' shooting an egg now, avoiding ShyGuys, and Birdo will eventually fall. As said above, it's ok if you die at the same time as Birdo.
