after it does the thing with all the stars and everyone says go mario go, and you have to fight the demon again,
no matter how much i hit the focker, it wont die!!!
does anyone know how to beat it easily??

> level.
My dad and bro already have. I have considered it. One of my favourite games ever. And it's pretty short and easy too. The Great Tree was my favourite bit. And I think Doopliss is the best baddie of all time! I love everything about him from his battle music to his slick lines(see what I did there? Perhaps not...)
I'm so retarded it hurts.
I got all the way to the very end - with a very limited amount of special items - and realised I couldn't do it. I spent about a week's worth of evenings trying to struggle through, but then I decided to back-track out of the castle, spend what I could on getting loads of mushrooms and power-ups, etc, went back in there - and I ANNIHALATED it!!! :D
I'd advise you to do the same, especially if you're low also. It may seem a daunting task to have to go back and forth, but trust me, it is worth it.
You'll also find the bob-omb-bloke's big blast attack-thing is best for knocking off health early on - as it gets all on screen enemies; both hands and the body. You also want to use the ghost/witch-girl's hide move when the boss is preparing one of those enormous attacks. But afterwards, as she charges up again, that's your chance to STRIKE!
I loved this game so much. Spent so many hours on it at the start of the year. The last 'Cube game I truly enjoyed to the max... And yet, I can't remember so many names and minor details that are all so obvious to you at first! :P
Exit the room(I think there is a pipe somewhere leading to Rougeport or somthing) and try to stock up on as many items as you can. Get mushrooms, thunder rage(thunder bolt won't damage the Shadow Queen AND her hands),etc. and find the Shadow Queen.
If you want to get her in your tattle log then do so at the first match against her. Afterwards; swap to Bobbery as he has quite a lot of HP. When you can damage her then make sure that you have have Vivian out. Use items and flower points at will. Don't forget your specials.
When she charges up her attack and starts to glow then use Vivian's Veil to avoid her attack. You could also use Boo Sheets if you have any spare. Use Fiery Jynx occasionally to burn her and her hands. Then hammer away, repeat this routine and she will eventually fall.
NOTE: There is really no need to level up for this battle as I beat her at level 20 something.
I hope that helped a little. You know, as a "PLAN B" thing or something.
I also found viewtiful joe quite easy after what id heard. it only on the very difficult setting after u get alistair that it gets hard. anyone knoww what the sequel is like?
I haven't completed it either. I got to the moon base and couldn't be naffed.
Puzzle games aren't.
I could start a list, but you get my point :-).
