no matter how many times you go up
against him fighting this definitive
video game bad guy never gets old
welcome to watchmojo.com and she’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
Bowser battles for this list we’re
taking a look at the most epic boss
battles against the Koopa king in Super
Mario Brothers games we’ve excluded any
battles from Super Mario maker because
come on there are too many Bowser
varieties to choose from none of which
are official number 10 tower chase
Super Mario 3d Land
this is prolly the closest a Mario level
has ever come to feeling like a roller
coaster which is only made more
effective by the inspired utilization of
3d there are many familiar trademarks
you’d expect to find in Bowser’s lair
hot lava cannons and Bowser himself who
literally comes crashing in rather than
attacking him head-on Mario must
navigate through the crumbling
environment as Bowser takes shots from a
farm eventually he’ll send him tumbling
down with the press of a button which
Bowser should really stop putting in his
castles number nine Koopas in space
Super Mario Galaxy
where most Bowser battles have an
ominous build-up that’s practically
apocalyptic this one is refreshingly
whimsical with the sensation of an
intergalactic obstacle course at the
same time though the player still gets
the sense that a great challenge awaits
them
Bowser delivers a final fight that
really makes you feel the gravitas of
the situation leaping from planet to
planet and knocking Bowser around like a
soccer ball it’s a boss battle as grand
and epic as the universe itself and it’s
just one small step for an Italian
plumber number eight a taste of his own
medicine new super mario brothers you
you know that one kid that always ran to
get his dad whenever things got too
rough that’s totally what Baby Bowser
does here thankfully you can use the
little brats clown copter against his
oversized pop in fact it’s pretty much
the only way to win stealing the clown
copter and bringing it down on Big
Daddy’s head is the key to victory here
after you do that for the obligatory
three rounds Bowser is down for the
count and his tattle tale of a son has
nothing left to do but turn tail and run
number seven catfight
Super Mario 3d World
the catsuit was one of the best
innovations in Super Mario 3d World
Mario and the gang aren’t the only ones
they get to use this awesome powerup
though
Bowser takes full advantage of it in
this towering battle as the player
embarks up a skyrocketing skyscraper you
never know when Bowser will come
climbing up scratching down or bursting
out of the walls
hopefully you have more than nine lives
to make it to the top where the ultimate
power box awaits for a booming finale
number 6 blockbuster Super Mario
Brothers 3
by the time you finally reach Bowser at
the end of this timeless masterpiece
your thumbs will likely be completely
drained of energy yet this only
motivates the player to keep their head
in the game you’ll have to stay on your
toes throughout this fight as fowler
attempts to ground pound you into
oblivion by breaking the blocks below
however the king of Koopas will plunge
his way to a shattering fate
interestingly you never need to strike
Bowser here just be careful where you
step
number five
Bowser strikes back Super Mario Galaxy 2
as perfect as Super Mario Galaxy was its
follow-up somehow managed to top it in
every conceivable way
the final Bowser battle is no exception
with even stronger build-up and stronger
payoff while a set up is somewhat
similar to the first game
this truly ups the ante for starters
Bowser’s fist is the size of a small
planetoid and can flatten Mario with a
single punch as the battle goes on the
action just keeps building and things
get bigger until you deliver the final
blow the only thing that really holds
this entry back is the second phase
which seemed a bit anticlimactic after
the awesome first number four big Bowser
New Super Mario Brothers wheat
this we title goes back to the tradition
of Mario’s earliest platformers but with
a few twists as you press the switch and
said Bowser plummeting into a pit of
lava just like you did back in the 80s
you might think it’s time to rescue the
princess and call it a day our princess
is in another cage though and Bowser is
nowhere near finished hey at least he
killed that stupid wizard man I hate
those guys
anyway Mario needs to run for his life
as the fire-breathing beast destroys
everything in his path once you find the
real switch and the real princess Bowser
is history at least until a next game
number three big baby Bowser
Super Mario World to Yoshi’s Island
Yoshi’s Island is a colorful game with a
child-friendly imagery of a storybook
the games light-hearted tone is
overthrown however when Baby Bowser
takes his last stand all of a sudden the
lighting becomes shadowy the music
becomes menacing and the seemingly
harmless go in ascends like a demon from
hell it’s as if a pleasant dream becomes
a nightmare and the only way to wake up
is by taking Baby Bowser out with giant
eggs for someone who’s technically still
a baby this guy is pretty daunting
number two 3d Bowser Super Mario 64
Super Mario 64 was a genuine game
changer as it brought the Mushroom
Kingdom into the third dimension our
minds wouldn’t ballon when we saw 3d
Bowser for the first time he only got
more challenging and intimidating with
each passing fight the final battle
appropriately beating the ultimate
showdown
the grim lighting and haunting pipe
organ music creates an overwhelming
atmosphere few things will make a gamer
feel more triumphant than grabbing
Bowser by the tail and swinging him into
a bomb all in a day’s work for the
plumber before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
number one clown car Super Mario World
here we go super mile world saw the
debut of the iconic flying Koopa clown
and it acts as the centerpiece of the
greatest Bowser fight ever when you make
it to the top of the fortress things
start to get dark and stormy then Bowser
shows his face and you know it’s on
there are too many immortal images and
moments throughout this enthralling
battle particularly the whimpering
expression on Bowser’s face whenever
he’s stricken never before has defeating
Bowser and rescuing Princess Peach been
more satisfying do you agree with our
