To do damage, aim at the head with Missiles, Super Missiles, or charged shots. The best strategy might be to remain near the right corner, aiming diagonally up. Start by constantly shooting Missiles until they're depleted, then Super Missiles, then charged shots. Mother Brain will try to walk toward you, giving you less space and pressuring you, but if you keep firing this will ensure that the boss remains back so you can jump and move when needed without worry. Alternatively, you can try to shoot directly under Mother Brain, which may give you some more room to dodge attacks, but it is still preferable to try and dodge the attacks from the right since this allows you to deal damage quicker, and you don't have to worry about Mother Brain stepping forward unexpectedly or any surprise attacks from below. | To do damage, aim at the head with Missiles, Super Missiles, or charged shots.

Initially, Mother Brain has three main attacks to watch out for. First, there is a laser shot horizontally from her eye, which is similar to the lasers shot by Space Pirates. So long as you aren't across from Mother Brain | Initially, Mother Brain has three main attacks to watch out for. First, there is a laser shot horizontally from her eye, which is similar to the lasers shot by Space Pirates. So long as you aren't across from Mother Brain when this is fired, you should be fine. Next, Mother Brain has a bomb attack. Unlike the multiple bombs of the Torizos, this is only a single bomb, yet it is still more devastating. It bounces around five times before exploding horizontally, covering most of the floor. Try to jump before the last bounce to avoid the blast. Also, you can't shoot it to destroy it. Next, she has an attack in which she fires a multitude of blue rings. It can be tricky to avoid, but watch for when she opens her mouth and roars. If the rings appear, immediately jump to avoid the attack, and be prepared to move or jump again for any follow-ups. | ||
After taking a good amount of damage (16 Charged shots or 45 Super Missiles), Mother Brain will add a new attack to her arsenal. With this, she fires a stream of circular energy. You can predict this will happen because she will pull her arm close to her body. When you see this, be ready to dodge it. This beam is especially dangerous, but you can Screw Attack to avoid damage from it. If you want to play it safe, dodge this attack, fire a couple of times, then Screw Attack while anticipating the attack again. You can just repeat this for some time. | After taking a good amount of damage (16 Charged shots or 45 Super Missiles), Mother Brain will add a new attack to her arsenal.
