How to Beat Fourth Boss Spotlion

  1. Deflect Purple Orbs
  2. Press B Repeatedly When a Purple Blob Appears
  3. Dodge Lasers
  4. Defeat Spotlion's Clone
  5. Use the Heart Charm

Deflect Purple Orbs

Spotlion will spew out purple orbs as one of its attacks. You need to deflect these orbs back to Spotlion using Stella's ribbon attacks, either by directly sending it back or using the mirror surfaces of the level to reflect the orb back to Spotlion.

Once Spotlion gets hit with three blue orbs from your reflected attacks, its body will be dismantled and a purple blob will appear.

Press B Repeatedly When a Purple Blob Appears

Princess Peach Showtime - Spotlion Purple Blob

After hitting Spotlion with three blue orbs, approach the purple blob that will appear from Spotlion's dismantled body and repeatedly press the B button.

You need to do these a total of three times to defeat Spotlion.

Dodge Lasers

Princess Peach Showtime - Dodge Lasers

After the first purple blob, Spotlion will start using laser attacks which will get reflected by the mirror surfaces around the level. Make sure to stay away from these areas to avoid getting hit.

Defeat Spotlion's Clone

After the second purple orb, Spotlion will summon a clone of itself. Both Spotlion and the clone will launch purple orbs, so try to avoid the projectiles.

Original Spotlion Will Have a Purple Blob

If you want to only focus on the original Spotlion, you can look for the one with the purple blob in its torso.

Defeating the clone will not advance the fight, as you need to hit the original Spotlion.

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.
