Mercury. All electromagnetic radiation acts in accordance with an "inverse squares" law; double the distance, and the amount of radiation is reduced by a factor of four, or two squared.

Mercury is 0.38 AU from the Sun, while the Earth is one AU from the Sun. The inverse of 0.38 is 2.63, and 2.63 squared is 6.9. So, the Sun's light at Mercury's distance is about 7 times more intense than it is for Earth.

it depends on which stage you're fighting him on. the first 2 times, make him ground pound the blue spots, hit his tail, then hit his shell. the 3rd time, first, he'll turn into a rock with his head sticking out. hit his head, then hit his shell. after doing this twice , you'll be transported to another planet. here, he'll turn into a ball of spikes. hit him with the pods, then hit his shell. again, do this twice to go to a new planet. on this planet, do what you did on the 1st 2 times twice to beat him for the last time.
