How to kill Skeletron easily

To beat Skeletron quickly:

1. First, get a good amount of meteorite shots. 2. Buy the minishark from the merchant. 3. Go fight Skeletron, BUT aim the minishark at his hands. The goal is to hit both hands sequentially. This is very effective. TIP: If you have the Knight's Edge, the part where you fight his head becomes much easier.
