Hey! Nobody is talking to... oh i did it.
That little green git up there is Gobbo and you don't want to smell him. He sneaks up on you as part of the game's wildcard/opportunistic element that appear after a failed attack with the stage enemy. Smack Gobbo with a mighty attack successfully and you might be rewarded with an upgrade.
Little bastard just shanked you in the back. Kick his butt!
Ok I’ll give him a nuckle sandwich!
