How to Beat A Kung Fu Tale (Kung Fu-1) Boss

Press B to Counter

Early in the level, you will be introduced to the simple gimmick behind the boss: you just need to counter its punches and kicks via the quick time event.

During the boss fight, pay close attention to the shrinking circles. Once you hear a kling sound and the circle glows, press the B button to counter the Kung Fu Grape's attacks.

Avoid Spamming Attacks

You won't be able to damage the Kung Fu Grape boss as it will automatically keep blocking your attacks and will slow down your progress. Simply wait for the boss' attacks and counter it.

Attack Boss When It is Dizzy

After countering its attacks a couple of times, the boss will launch a flurry of kick where you need to counter each one after the other.

After blocking each attack, the Kung Fu Grape will become dizzy. This is you chance to punish the boss and launch your own flurry of attacks to defeat it!

Press B to Deflect Projectiles

In this level, the Kung Fu Grape will start using projectiles to attack Peach. The same tactic with the punches and kicks also apply here, as you just need to deflect these attacks with the B button.

You'll be able to see the boss charge up its projectiles. Once it launches a projectile, wait for a kling sound and for the shrinking circle to glow then press B to deflect it.

You need to do this a couple of times. The boss will also launch a barrage of projectiles where you need to counter each one consecutively.

Counter the Boss' Final Attack

After launching projectiles, the boss will charge towards Peach and will deliver a barrage of attacks. Counter each move with the B button.
