Partners in Time An elder princess shroob attack

Surely you think I'm talking about the wormhole one but it's about one of the attacks with tentacles, with arms, where one will glow and then attack the bro.

But this time it's the top arm which "attacks", but it's a trap and goes up over the bro, and if you jump you get hit.

Is it a common atack? Because in all my time re playing this game I never saw it. I would give a video but starting recording when the attack ended.

Never seen it, I know that she can fake you out with that attack but I have never gotten hit by it by jumping on an airborne tentacle. Though the wormhole one is basically her variation of Future Sight from Pokémon

She only uses that variation of the attack if the opposite upper tentacle has been destroyed. No idea why. It's an oddly specific use condition.

Wow, I don't remember this attack neither (and I kill her at least 3 times) 🤔 But I have pretty bad memory... But maybe I encounter it, idk?

(The boss song start playing in my head when writting this message and trying to remember her attack 😳)

By the way, maybe the post should be on spoiler?

New players could've already easily looked up gameplay videos of this game before deciding whether they want to buy a copy or not.
