I can't figure this thing out

I tried to debug and keep going back and forth on the video but this one is pretty tough.

Hi Luigi,

I'm not a Sassy monster yet, but you need to use the super_link as place holder using the % sign. Also, you don't add color inside the font-weight property, you have to add it separately.

Perhaps my code will explain itself better:

.animals {
  background: #369;
}

.dogs {
  @extend .dogs;
  background: #369;
}

%super_link {
  font-weight: bold;
  color: red;
}

Hope this helps!
