How to Defeat Gold Joe

Unlike Mr. Blackhole, Gold Joe is a small fighter who generally prefers to fight you at close range with his arsenal of swords. His sword strikes can be parried and dodged, giving you openings to really wail on him. However, you need to be careful when dodging around him because the arena's edges are electrified and will cause damage. Be careful not to dodge or run into the wall, or you’ll be regretting it very quickly!
