The easiest way to beat this boss is to Rev-roll to the right of the boss and abuse the big hit box, pause the game to force his Invincibility to run out, then unpause to get a hit, repause to abuse invincibility frames, repeat until Blinky is defeated.
Right when you’re about to set up the first hit on blinky (the most consistent RTA method used in runs) you can hit him right when he spits out his tongue, It is only about a second faster and inconsistent so it's not viable for runs, this can also be used as a back up if you get a 5-1 2 cycle.
With precise positioning and timing, it's possible to clip out of bounds with Blinky's toe.
Some version's have the blinky boss name listed as "Blinky's Frog"
The Frog's tongue moves more rapidly, and the hints on how to deal damage are never mentioned | Video
On phase 1, Blinky says "My big froggie tongue should get ya! As long as it doesn't break . . ." On the other releases of the game, he says "My big froggie tongue should get ya! As long as you don't butt-bounce on it. . ."
On phase 2, Blinky says "Let's see how ya deal with steel! And don't even think of rev-rolling!" On the other releases of the game, after he says "Let's see how ya deal with steel!" the fight continues without any hints on how to deal damage.
The Frog's uvula doesn't glow.
The water puddles aren't on gcn, this is might be a porting error.
