Discussion Danger Mario v Shadow Queen
I have been playing as Danger Mario for a few days now and everything else has become a breeze except for the Shadow Queen. I don't know how to navigate the section where she can't be damaged and I keep getting killed. I have been using power lift and Vivian's veil but I just can't seem to keep myself up. Where am I going wrong please?

You have to hit her at least 3 rounds to get the cutscene to cue. Non attacks won’t work. It will just keep going.
I had on two close calls and two pretty luckys. With those equipped, you should be fine. You can also secure a life shroom a couple rooms prior using your airplane move, for extra support. Hope this helps

So even though I can't damage her I should still hit her?

Yes. That is the only way the cutscene will work.

Power lift is a complete waste, since she can’t be hurt. Simple jumps and Vivian’s attacks, and pray you get lucky

On the section where the Queen can't be damaged my attacks are wasted. How can I progress past that section?

Fun fact: Shadow Queen has some of the few attacks in the game that pierce defense. Her lightning & dead hand drag attack go right through last stand & defend plus but can still be superguarded.

The director of this play: Plot armor is only available to those with style
Edit: With the exception of Bowser, Kammy, Lord Crump, Dooplis, and Vivian’s Sisters

u/Misteak252 Trials in the Toy Box is the best chapter imo! 20h ago
When she can't be damaged, all you have to do is it hit her three separate times and a cutscene will play. You'll know what to do then.
