Uncle Rupee

Uncle Rupee (Rupeeji in the original Japanese version) is an older character in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland who promises Tingle entrance to the paradise of Rupeeland.

Uncle Rupee turns out to be a demon who gets his power from the currency of Hyrule, Rupees. Uncle Rupee is the creator of Tingles, a state of being anyone can be cursed with. When not in the possession of rupees, and thus physical incapable of fighting, he tricks others into becoming a Tingle, his slave, by promising to bring them to Rupeeland, a paradise where no one has to work. Uncle Rupee is also the last boss of the game.

Battle
When Tingle throws the Master Rupee in the pool, the tower rockets off the earth and flies straight through the moon, where Uncle Rupee is waiting with his two cats and bodyguards.

Before the battle, Uncle Rupee asks you to hand over all your rupees. Don't give him any, because your going to need those rupees.

In the battle against Uncle Rupee, you have to shoot rupees at him, which makes you lose them continuously, but you have all the rupees that you have thrown in the pool and the rupees you are carrying combined, so don't worry too much about it. Even 400 000 or 500 000 rupees should be enough to defeat him, or less, if you're talented. The rupees fire where you hold the stylus.

First Form Ultimate Boss: Uncle Rupee

This is Uncle Rupee's first form. He sits on a flying couch, so it's easy to land hits on him, but be warned: he has many ways to protect himself. He can either send in agents to shoot evil rupees at you, throw dinner plates that shoot evil rupees or send in his two cats, who fire a continuous beam of evil rupee energy. Whenever he sends out the agents, shoot them as fast as possible. As for the dinner plates, you should just break one of them, so you can get a clear shot at Uncle Rupee. When the cats fire the rupee beams, just stay between them and shoot Uncle Rupee (though you can actually shoot the cats, which makes them retreat).

Second Form Boosted Uncle: Grand Rupee

This form has more attacks, and most of them are much more deadly than those of the first form. Grand Rupee can either make a rupee shooting smoke cloud form to the left, right or upper part of the screen. Counter this by shooting at it so the evil rupees wont hit you. His other attacks are creating a smoke cloud at the center of the screen, that shoots four twirling streams of evil rupees. You can avoid getting hit by moving along one of the streams and shooting it continuously. Grand Rupee can also create four smoke clouds at the corners of the screen, that shoot slow moving rupees. Those are best avoided by moving the stylus in a circle, so a single one of them wont hit Tingle. Grand Rupees last and most powerful attack is a wide beam of evil rupee energy. You must shoot the beam so it hits at Grand Rupee instead of you. When you do this three times, Grand Rupee should be defeated.

Third Form Rupee

Now only the head of Uncle Rupee remains, but it has become gigantic. Rupee is at the upper screen and Tingle is at the lower screen. To destroy Rupee, just shoot rupees at him. Rupee attacks by ramming either the left or right side of the lower screen. If Tingle gets hit, he will lose massive amount of rupees, so you must dodge Rupee's attacks. To know which side is he going to ram, watch his mustache. He attacks left, if his left mustache twitches, and he attacks right, if his right mustache twitches, so always go to the opposite side of the screen. When Rupee starts floating higher, immediately go to either side of the screen, as he is about to ram the center. Sometimes Rupee may try to fool you by faking a ram, but remember that he always attack to whichever side his mustache showed. Defeat Rupee and you have beaten the game.
