Spider Mobster
"One-two punch, you and da cops are eatin' dirt. Bingo bingo!"
—Spider Mobster, Death Screen
The Spider Mobster (whose name is currently unknown) is a member of the Moonshine Mob and the first mini-boss in Bootlegger Boogie.
Appearance
The Spider Mobster is a spider with six long limbs, with a round red nose and his top row of teeth usually shows when he is speaking or smiling. He wears a green fedora, tuxedo jacket, a very pale green bow tie, and a pair of yellow gloves.
Intro
The Spider Mobster fist-pounds his palm repeatedly in anticipation of the impending fight.
Battle
The Spider Mobster travels around the platforms. He may do three different attacks:
- He kicks a fellow Caterpillar Mobster, it bounces around the screen. The Caterpillar Mobster can be defeated, causing his body to break into multiple segments that fall. In Simple Mode, this attack is not used.
- He uses a vintage telephone to call in Fly Goons. They fly from the background and charge forward on the platforms. They can be defeated. In Simple Mode, there are less Fly Goons that enter the stage.
- He presses a button to summon bombs that fall from the ceiling and hang between the platforms. They explode when the player is near and burn up the web that hangs them. They shake a bit when the Spider Mobster moves pass them on his way across the stage. There cannot be more than nine bombs at once and some will explode to make way for the next time the Spider Mobster uses this attack. The bombs all explode one by one when this phase is defeated.
- He can simply run across the stage without doing anything.
Some ant cops use a puff of pesticide and aims at the Spider Mobster. They often miss and the puff can damage the player(s); however, they can damage the Spider Mobster as well if they can strike him. Some puffs can be parried.
After defeating the Spider Mobster, he wobbles his head around, having had enough of the battle, and falls off the platform into the foreground. With a weary expression, he then hastily lowers the gramophone which the Light Bug is riding on to the middle of the stage, before exiting the area. Hitpoints = 439/427/495
