Question
QUESTION: i am on world 2 level 6, how do you defeat the owl, i am on the bit where princess peach has fallen off the bridge, and the owl is spinning and throwing eggs, i have been told you have to wait for the owl to glow before you press joy then you can fly up and attack the owl, but the owl   never glows and cannot attack the owl, we have been on this bit for about a good 5 mins to see if the owl glows. are we doing something wrong. please help!

ANSWER: The trick is when you're in that free fall part (I think you can destroy the eggs he throws to refill your vibe bar) when you use joy you'll see him put up a shield and you can't attack him.  Fly up above the owl, and then turn off joy.  He'll turn off his shield and you'll land on him.  Do this 2-3 times and he'll be down for the count!  Hope it helps!

QUESTION: hi, the problem im having is that i can't get princess peach to fly. i have tried everything.
ANSWER: Make sure you fill up your vibe bar.  The part I'm talking about is when you're in a state of free fall (2nd part of the fight).  For the 1st part when he swoops down at you, you can jump on him.  After you damage him enough, then you reach the part where you need to use joy to fly above him.

Answer
Have you tried going to websites like www.gamefaqs.com?  From there you can search for super princess peach and get a list of strategy guides that other people have written.  Maybe you find one that can explain the fight better than I can, as well as give you tips for other boss fights.
