During Grand Mam's battle, she will attempt to charge the Friend Star and launch her bomb arms into the ground. She can also call on reinforcements to warp into the battlefield, including [[Sir Kibble]], [[Blade Knight]], and [[Burning Leo]] (enemies whose abilities are key to defeating this boss). To defeat Grand Mam, the Star Allies must first cut loose one of the bombs while it is out, then light the severed fuse to make it explode on top of her. This done, her armor will be knocked off, leaving her body open to attacks from the Friend Star for a short duration before she restores her armor.
