3. Push the Bomb to the Center
4. Jump as Purrjector Cat Slams the Floor
5. Press B Repeatedly When a Purple Blob Appears

Turn the Mouse into a Bomb

A mechanical mouse will be appearing from the holes in the walls. Press the B button in front of a mouse to convert it into a bomb.

Don't Let Purrjector Cat Play With the Bomb

Being a cat, Purrjector Cat will want to play with Peach and the little mouse bomb. In this phase, try to make sure that Purrjector Cat does not flatten the bomb with its paws.

Bat Away Its Paws

You can bat away Purrjector Cat's paws by attacking them. Hit its paws using B when you see Purrjector Cat readying its attack.

Prevent the Bomb from Being Flattened

You can move the bomb around by pushing it with B. Purrjector Cat will mainly be after Princess Peach, so just make sure you keep the bomb away from you when it's attempting to slam its paw downward. If Purrjector Cat flattens the bomb, you won't be able to damage it for this cycle.

Also make sure to prevent Princess Peach from getting hit. Simply move away once Purrjector Cat has decided on where its paw will land.

Avoid Its Tail

Jump up or move back to avoid Purrjector Cat's tail when it uses this attack. However, getting hit won't actually cause you to lose a heart. It will just push you back.

Push the Bomb to the Center

Once you see Purrjector Cat lean forward, it's time to push the bomb to the center. Use B to push the bomb to where you want it. Try to keep it within the center pattern on the floor.

Jump as Purrjector Cat Slams the Floor

Jump up as Purrjector Cat slams its paws down to avoid taking damage.

The shockwave from the slam should launch the bomb up to its face and explode, incapacitating it.

Press B Repeatedly When a Purple Blob Appears

Approach the purple blob that will appear from Purrjector Cat's dismantled body and repeatedly press the B button.

The cycle will then repeat, so just follow the earlier steps again. You need to do these steps a total of three times to defeat Purrjector Cat.

Use the Heart Charm

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.
