BACKGROUND: The three Shadow Sirens have been sent by the X-Nauts to dispose of Mario and take the magical map. The eldest sister is Beldam, who controls the element of ice.  Beldam is very cunning and will do whatever it takes to get the Thousand Year Door open. She often comes up with the Shadow Sirens' "brilliant" plans, but usually forgets one important factor.   She will often lose important items and pit the blame on the youngest Siren, Vivian or on the newcomer, Doopliss.
Although she works for the X-Nauts, she's hiding an alleigance to someone else.
OTHER BACKGROUND INFO: "That's Beldam.  She's the oldest sister, the leader of the Shadow Sirens. Max HP is 9, Attack is 1, and Defense is 0.  But her blizzard attack has an Attack of 2. She can make her partners big and make us tiny, and attacks with weird magic. The worst thing about her is that sinister snicker.  She sounds so totally evil! I mean, she's just the sort of person you want to avoid like the plague, y'know?" - Goombella

"That's Beldam.  She's the leader of the Shadow Sirens. Max HP is 30, Attack is 5, and Defense is 0. Her special move is a blizzard blast.  If it hits you, you'll totally freeze. She has lots of other tricks up her sleeves, too. I wonder what that plan was that she mentioned?  What do you think they're up to?" - Goombella

"This shady woman is certainly selfish and mean!  I mean, what a total meanie! You see how cruel she is to her own sister?  I wonder what went on between them..." - Goombella

"That's Beldam of the Shadow Sirens.  Remember?  Vivian's sister? I'm totally surprised she followed us all the way out here, though. And what was that plan she was yapping about, huh?  This sounds bad..." - Goombella

"Leader of the three Shadow Sirens. She'll throw all sorts of magic at you and has a very unpleasant disposition." - PM2 Player's Guide

BATTLE PLAN:
Attack Pattern: Beldam will sink into the ground and resurface next to Mario or his partner and give them a smack. Beldam will occasionally cast a blizzard on Mario and his partner, possibly freezng them!  Beldam can also shrink you or enlarge her sisters.
Basic Strategies: Watch the ground when she sinks into it, you can see where she is.  Press B to superguard it if you can. During the first battle, use attacks that hit all sisters, like Earth Tremor and Quake Hammer.  The latter is suggested because you might want to save star power for Sweet Treats. When you run out of FP, attack Marilyn first.  Then take out Beldam and Vivian last.  During the second battle, use your judgement to alternate between different special moves. Kill Beldam first this time because of her low health, then Marilyn and Doopliss last.
Advanced Strategies: Quake Hammer is suggested for the first battle. During the second battle, use your strongest attacks on Beldam first. For badges, use whatever you think will help during a multi-enemy boss, you should have enough badges to choose from.
