Trivia

• Lake Dipsy, The Announcer, and the Cave Tubby are the only bosses to have only one ability. On the other hand, Po (PM), The Guardian, the Shadow Tubby and the Ghost Girl have three abilities.
• Laa-Laa and Po have the same moveset, same for Dipsy and the Infected Worker (technically a clone).
• Strangely, The Guardian’s “Shadow Blast” ability covers significantly more area than Shadow Tubby’s.
• Some abilities have alternative names (e.g. “Fire Toss” being named “Flame Toss” instead.)
• Since Update V2.3, the rocks in the “Rock Smash” ability now explode after emergence.
