Have the spoiler-phobic left the room? Okay, without further ado…
Prince Mush
That’s right, the original champion of the Glitz Pit before being replaced by Rawk Hawk can now be taken on for the ultimate title of champion.
How to Fight Prince Mush
While Prince Mush may send you a message challenging you earlier in the game, you have to finish up the main story and roll credits in order to fight him. He’ll be hanging out in the hallway near the save block and locker rooms in the Glitz Pit. Talk to him and accept his challenge. Then go to one of the GBA-shaped terminals to fight him as an exhibition match.
Strategy Tips
Despite his unintimidating appearance, Prince Mush is definitely a tough customer, rocking 96 HP, 6 Attack, and 6 Defense. The Prince has a couple stances -- one where he’s kind of hopping up and down, and one where’s shimmying back and forth – you can only damage when he’s doing the former, as he’ll always dodge when he’s in the latter stance. So, when he’s moving back and forth, use your time to heal and use attack-boosting items like Power Lift or the Charge ability. If you pull off a successful Superguard, he will be essentially stunned for a turn, giving you more opportunity to attack.
Once you knock off about half of Prince Mush’s HP, he’ll repeatedly go Super Saiyan and boost his attack power. Prince Mush will gain a new combo during this phase, where he flies at you from all directions doing heavy damage with each hit. This combo sucks, but if you can pull off a Superguard during one of the strikes, he will be stunned again. He also has a move where he splits into three – hit the “real” Mush to return him to normal. This second phase is tough, but if you stock up on lots of Life Shrooms and hit a few Superguards, you’ll come out on top.
Whacka
And the other secret boss is… Whacka. He’s tougher than he looks!
How to fight Whacka
Whacka is down at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials, which is located to the west of the underground room containing the

Earlier this year, Xbox finally gave us a first peek at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the new first-person action-adventure under development at Wolfenstein developer under the watchful eye of producer Todd Howard. That first trailer certainly got tongues wagging, and delivered plenty of the puzzle solving and derring-do the series is known for, but, of course, fans wanted more.
This year’s Summer Game Fest show may not have had as many big reveals as some past iterations (although there was a notable reveal or two) but the show did culminate in a pretty impressive trailer for the upcoming PS5 console exclusive Phantom Blade Zero. The trailer features some eye-popping Unreal Engine 5 visuals, big, bad bosses, and some downright-frantic action – the swords are flying fast and furious in the one. Check the Phantom Blade Zero trailer for yourself, below.
Today, NVIDIA has announced that CAPCOM's Street Fighter 6 has joined the GeForce NOW library (as previously confirmed), allowing cloud users to enter the fray. The other major weekly additions to GeForce NOW are Ubisoft's free-to-play competitive first-person shooter game XDefiant, which registered strong numbers at launch, and the asymmetric multiplayer horror game Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game.
Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake has had a rather troubled development cycle, but it seems like Ubisoft is gathering its resources to finally get the project done. Announced back in 2020, the game was originally being developed by former support studios Ubisoft Mumbai and Ubisoft Pune, but reactions to early trailers weren’t exactly positive. It seems Ubisoft brass weren’t impressed either, because the project was handed back to Ubisoft Montreal and eventually completely rebooted.
Earlier this year, Sony announced a remake of the cult-favorite narrative horror game Until Dawn from Ballistic Moon, a new studio founded by veterans of original Until Dawn creators Supermassive Games. The game is being developed with Unreal Engine 5 and will feature a fully controllable camera rather than the old-school fixed angles of the original game. That all sounds good, but the original teaser trailer for the new Until Dawn didn’t really show us much.
While we’ve known about the existence of Concord for over a year now, Sony’s new PvP multiplayer shooter has remained quite mysterious. The game is the work of Firewalk Studios, a new startup headed up by a team of Destiny vets, and teasers have hinted at a colorful, character-driven approach to the genre. Beyond that, details have been scant.
Among the many quality PlayStation 5 exclusives, few are more underappreciated than Astro’s Playroom. Sure, it was just a relatively small-scale pack-in title, but Astro’s Playroom was a ton of fun and made better use of the Dualsense controller’s unique features than any game since. In the past week, rumors emerged that the reveal of a new Astro Bot title was imminent, and it turns out the leakers were right on the money.
