Donkey Kong icons Switch Online

Nintendo is changing up its lineup of classic icons on Switch Online, and now designs based on Donkey Kong are up for grabs. These will be available until July 1 at 4:59 PM PT / 7:59 PM ET.

whacka boss fight guide paper mario thousand year door

For those playing through the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch, we have a guide explaining how to defeat the game’s secret postgame boss.

There are two secret bosses newly introduced in the game. One of them becomes available after Chapter 5, while the other becomes available after clearing the Pit of 100 Trials for the very first time. Since these bosses are new to the game, we aren’t spoiling their identities right out the gate. That being said, this guide will contain full spoilers on how to defeat this boss, so you may want to come back later if you’d rather not learn its identity just yet. This particular boss is rather difficult (and takes a long time to get to), so you’ll want to prepare yourself as best you can. Here’s how to defeat the secret postgame boss in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
