'''King Kalientes''' are [[List of bosses|boss]]es in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are two similar-looking [[Rocto]]s who seem to be in league with [[Bowser]], as one leads a portion of his fleet and the other is called upon by [[Bowser Jr.]] to fight Mario, and guards a [[Grand Star]]. The first is fought in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and the second in [[Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor]]. The first battle is for a [[Power Star]] and the second battle is for a Grand Star. Their name comes from the Spanish word ''caliente'', which means "hot". The King Kalientes shares their boss music with [[Bugaboom]] and [[Topmaniac]]. The two King Kalientes are differentiated from each other in the same manner as the counterparts for [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Gobblegut]]. The game's English trading cards treat the two as the same individual.

After Mario lands on the Magma Planet, a yellow [[Luma (species)|Luma]] will warn him about the king. When Mario reaches the volcanic side, the king will emerge from the lava pool and shake his head, angered that Mario has awakened him, beginning the battle.

If Mario whacks it at him three times without the coconut flying past him, he will knock the king's crown off. If it is missed, the attack pattern will repeat until Mario is successful.

The standard King Kaliente is first fought in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]], where he resides in his volcanic-topped UFO, the Octo Magma planet. After [[Mario]] lands on the Octo Magma planet, a yellow [[Luma]] will warn him about the king (albeit indirectly, only stating that there is "big danger" up ahead). When Mario reaches the volcanic side, the king will emerge from the lava pool and shake his head, angered that Mario has awakened him, beginning the battle. He will first spit out three [[fireball]]s, followed by a [[coconut]]. Mario must perform a [[Spin]] or a [[Spin Jump]] to whack the coconut back at him, which stuns him, and [[Star Bit]]s will emerge.


King Kaliente will get very angry after his crown falls and sinks into the lava, then unleash a big roar of wind, blowing the lava around and sprouting little bouncing [[Lava Bouncer]]s, that will bounce on the lava or on the ground toward Mario for the rest of the battle. If they touch Mario, they will burn him and cause him to lose up to two [[HP]].
The king will again shoot out three fireballs and then a coconut, which Mario can spin back at him, which will make the King deflect it back at Mario. If Mario whacks it at him again without the coconut flying past him, he will knock the king's crown off for the second successful hit. If it is missed, the attack pattern will repeat until Mario is successful. If the player long jumps to King Kaliente during the battle, King Kaliente will knock the player back like he does when deflecting a coconut.


Again, the King must be hit three more times in a row with a coconut. If this is pulled off, King Kaliente will be knocked out and will collapse back into his lava hot tub-home. A [[Power Star]] will sprout out of the lava and appear next to Mario, and every [[Lava Bouncer]] will vanish.
King Kaliente will get very angry after his crown falls and sinks into the lava, and unleashes a big roar of wind, blowing the lava around and sprouting small [[Lava Bubble]]s that will bounce on the lava or on the ground toward Mario for the rest of the battle. If they touch Mario, they will burn him and cause him to lose up to two [[Health Meter|HP]]. Again, the king must be attacked three more times in a row with a coconut. If this is pulled off, King Kaliente finally fails to deflect and is knocked out, collapsing back into the lava pool. A [[Power Star]] will sprout out of the lava and appear next to Mario, and the Lava Bubbles will vanish.


King Kaliente is fought for a second time in [[Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor]]. His tactic is the same as in the Good Egg Galaxy, but the fight itself is much harder. The fight takes place on a ring of small platforms that will sink into the lava if Mario stands on them for too long. King Kaliente's attacks are also much more frequent, and include sending in dozens of [[Lava Bouncer]]s, taking an additional shot in the first hit, and, after having his crown knocked off, summoning fiery meteors from the sky or spitting them out. After Mario defeats him for the second time, he will give up a [[Grand Star]]. He also looks scorched, possibly from the last fight.
As determined at the end of the [[List of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|E3 2006 trailer]], the ability to "swipe" the fireballs away using the [[Star Pointer]] was going to appear, but this feature was removed the final version of the game.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtRGMlhlFmo</ref>

He is the second boss Mario fights in this galaxy. His appearance and attack methods are identical to Mario's first encounter with him in the Good Egg Galaxy and Mario also defeats him using the same method as well.

King Kaliente is best described as a giant [[Blooper]] with an [[Octoomba]] for a head. His skin is orange and his eyes are blue. He has a crown on his head, a small red cape tied around his neck with a jeweled brooch, and a white mustache above his nozzle-like mouth. A small antenna topped with a red orb emerges from the top of his head, just barely visible above his crown.

When he is battled a second time, his whole body has a much darker, blacker hue and his eyes are red. His attacks include shooting normal and flaming [[coconut]]s at Mario and summoning [[Lava Bouncer]]s. His change in skin tone may come from the fact that he has fallen full-body into lava once, thus charring his skin.

Bowser Jr., Super Mario Galaxy

King Kalientes are bosses in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are two similar-looking Roctos who seem to be in league with Bowser, as one leads a portion of his fleet and the other is called upon by Bowser Jr. to fight Mario, and guards a Grand Star. The first is fought in the Good Egg Galaxy and the second in Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor. The first battle is for a Power Star and the second battle is for a Grand Star. Their name comes from the Spanish word caliente, which means "hot". The King Kalientes shares their boss music with Bugaboom and Topmaniac. The two King Kalientes are differentiated from each other in the same manner as the counterparts for Dino Piranha and Gobblegut. The game's English trading cards treat the two as the same individual.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Normal[edit]

King Kaliente, after Mario knocks his crown off. This can be done by hitting him twice in a row with coconuts.

The standard King Kaliente is first fought in the Good Egg Galaxy, where he resides in his volcanic-topped UFO, the Octo Magma planet. After Mario lands on the Octo Magma planet, a yellow Luma will warn him about the king (albeit indirectly, only stating that there is "big danger" up ahead). When Mario reaches the volcanic side, the king will emerge from the lava pool and shake his head, angered that Mario has awakened him, beginning the battle. He will first spit out three fireballs, followed by a coconut. Mario must perform a Spin or a Spin Jump to whack the coconut back at him, which stuns him, and Star Bits will emerge.

The king will again shoot out three fireballs and then a coconut, which Mario can spin back at him, which will make the King deflect it back at Mario. If Mario whacks it at him again without the coconut flying past him, he will knock the king's crown off for the second successful hit. If it is missed, the attack pattern will repeat until Mario is successful. If the player long jumps to King Kaliente during the battle, King Kaliente will knock the player back like he does when deflecting a coconut.

King Kaliente will get very angry after his crown falls and sinks into the lava, and unleashes a big roar of wind, blowing the lava around and sprouting small Lava Bubbles that will bounce on the lava or on the ground toward Mario for the rest of the battle. If they touch Mario, they will burn him and cause him to lose up to two HP. Again, the king must be attacked three more times in a row with a coconut. If this is pulled off, King Kaliente finally fails to deflect and is knocked out, collapsing back into the lava pool. A Power Star will sprout out of the lava and appear next to Mario, and the Lava Bubbles will vanish.

As determined at the end of the E3 2006 trailer, the ability to "swipe" the fireballs away using the Star Pointer was going to appear, but this feature was removed the final version of the game.[1]

Black[edit]

The second, dark-colored King Kaliente is fought in Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor. He is brownish-black with glowing red eyes, giving him the alternate label of King Kaliente (Black).[2] His tactic is the same as the one in the Good Egg Galaxy, but he becomes more aggressive much faster and the fight itself is harder. The fight takes place on a ring of small conjoined hexagonal platforms that will sink into the lava if Mario stands on them for too long. This King Kaliente's attacks are also much more frequent, and include sending in dozens of Lava Bubbles after the first hit, taking an additional shot in the first and second hits, and after his crown is knocked off, meteors begin raining down from the sky. After Mario defeats him, he will give up a Grand Star.
