When they appear
The documented run is still seven waves. Gigglers, Gazos, Gloobers, Gembos, Cheerers, Gleebers, and Glaabers debut in that order, and each type stays in later waves. After the Enphosians of wave 2, 4, and 6 are gone, a boss arrives: Gergro, then Borgack, then Risio. Music fades, and a warning shows the boss name and appearance.
Smile More did not delete that structure. It did fix how many of each Glaggle spawn, shorten waves 3–7, and slightly lengthen waves 1–2. Counts on screen beat an old spawn chart.
Boss health is one shared pool. Current scaling adds 35% of the base for each player after the first, and the changelog first raises older boss health by 50% (25% on Mild). Hysteria is only half as effective on bosses. Bosses no longer take half-duration status effects.
Gergro
Gergro is the wave 2 fighter associated with a bat, a gun, and a paint can. Smile More raises walk speed from 26 to 28, speeds up the gun projectile, and cuts paint-can contact damage from 300 to 200. Mild Gergro can throw paint cans in phase 1. Phase 2 can summon allies, scaling with the player count. On Mild, the older note that he saves the spray can for phase 2 may still apply; the changelog only adds the phase 1 cans.
Give yourself space when the attack changes, and do not chase him off the statue lane.
Borgack
Borgack is the explosive boss associated with rockets, dynamite, and a jetpack. Smile More gives his attacks sound cues, raises walk speed from 16 to 18, and shortens the rocket launcher interval from 3 seconds to 2.5. At one sixth health he summons soldiers. You cannot damage him further until they die. While they live he moves slower and uses his main weapon only. After they die he enters the nuke countdown. Mild skips the soldiers and goes to that countdown. The nuke itself is described as the follow-up to that phase, not as a new Maniac-only weapon invented here.
Watch where the projectile lands, then step back toward the statue.
Risio
Risio switches weapons and fights with shadows. Smile More raises shadow health from 150 to 200. Shadows use random weapons instead of only Bamella claws. Walk speed goes from 26 to 35, and Risio uses weapons 25% faster. His Giggle Guitar can summon a Glooble. His Fugorg Glove can fire a charged shot that you can shoot down. On Mild, the difficulties article says he does not enter a desperation phase.
When several targets are on screen, decide which one is moving toward the statue before you chase a shadow.
After a loss
Change the position that failed before you replace the whole class. A Gembo clear on one map does not prove Gembo for every team, and a clip recorded before October 2026 may be showing renamed weapons.
