Climb the Tower

Princess Peach Showtime - Climb the Tower

To defeat Light Fang, you need to climb the tower and jump across platforms and reach the top. This may seem simple enough, but the level offers some challenges which can hinder you.

Hide Behind Walls

Princess Peach Showtime - Hide Behind Walls

Light Fang's terrifying gaze will cause time to rewind if you get caught, resulting to you being sent back to the beginning of a section of the stage.

Use the walls to hide behind Light Fang's gaze, which you can anticipate with the spotlight coming from its eyes.

Defeat Small Snakes

Princess Peach Showtime - Defeat Mini Snakes

Small snakes will pop out from purple portals around the level. Make sure to attack them to avoid getting overwhelmed as you climb the level.

Break Light Bulbs to Stun Light Fang

Princess Peach Showtime - Break Light Bulbs

Throughout the level, you will encounter small and large light bulbs.

Breaking small light bulbs will temporarily stun Light Fang, which gives you some time to progress the level without worrying about its time-rewinding gaze.

Breaking the large light bulbs, however, will dismantle Light Fang completely, and a purple blob will appear.

Press B Repeatedly When a Purple Blob Appears

Princess Peach Showtime - Light Fang Purple Blob

After breaking a large light bulb, approach the purple blob that will appear from Light Fang's dismantled body and repeatedly press the B button.

Doing so will move you to the next section of the level, and you need to do these a total of three times to defeat Light Fang.

Use the Heart Charm

Heart Charm - Theater Lobby

If you're having a difficult time beating this boss, you can use the Heart Charm to get three extra hearts. You can turn this on in Sparkle Theater 1F and talking to the Theet near the center of the lobby.

Do note that there are no penalties when using a Heart Charm, so feel free to get extra hearts whenever you want the fight to be easier. You can always turn it off by speaking to the Theet again.
