'''Spideraticus''' is a gigantic spider boss whom [[Wario]] must defeat at the end of [[Beanstalk Way]] during the events of ''[[Wario World]]''.

Spideraticus has quite a few attacks. The first is a shockwave attack that must be jumped. When Spideraticus has two or less health skulls remaining, he adds another, faster shockwave. The spider boss's second attack is to fire homing missiles at Wario. Again, the lower Spideraticus's health, the more missiles are shot.

In order to defeat him, [[Wario]] had to grab a Glue Globe that the arachnid shot out, hang onto it and, when close enough, jump off it and [[Ground Pound]] his head. Since Wario would land on Spideraticus's web, he could not jump. Wario had to use a [[Wild Swing-Ding]], or [[Power Throw]] to damage the spider boss. After repeating five times, this mini-boss gave way, leading to the big Boss, [[Red-Brief J]].
