Top Ten Mario Games with the Best Final Bowser Battles

This game has one of the few Bowser battles that are actually hard. The first two battles aren't too bad, where you have to make him hit only one spike bomb. In the third and final battle, you have to slam him into three spike bombs, which can be pretty difficult. When swinging Bowser around, it's hard to tell where you're going to throw him unless you're close to a spike bomb.

After two hits, Bowser will make sections of the platform fall off and form the shape of a star, which makes it even more challenging. Bowser looks weird, like most other enemies in the game, and the music also sounds kind of creepy. But altogether, it's a pretty interesting Bowser battle.

He's mean, he's green, and he knows how to make a scene. Bowser is one of my and the world's most favored video game villains of all time. Sure, Super Mario 64 was good, but Galaxy was better. The music is epic, and the battle is awesome. This does NOT mean I don't like Super Mario 64.

I really like this boss because it takes EVERYTHING you've learned throughout the game - spinning, jumping, etc. - and uses it for a final boss as amazing as ever!

Tough fight. Good music. Epic. Pretty long. Astonishingly amazing.

Despite being so easy, this battle is beyond amazing. You're fighting an absolutely enormous Bowser while free-falling through a black hole, pummeling meteors at him while what is possibly the greatest final boss theme of all time plays in the background.

Bowser was enormous, and the graphics were so good. This is easily the most creative boss fight in mankind, although really easy.

This is my favorite Mario game. I love that they went with a different setting instead of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Finally, the button doesn't save Mario's butt this time! Yes! Something new! Plus, you see Bowser in his shell in this game! Bowser has so many attacks!

I like that the button isn't getting all the credit for rescuing Peach.

I'm not really into how the battle plays out, but I'm definitely into that music!

It's a close race between Bowser, and it gets your heart pumping. You have to move fast in the end, which is both hard and fun!

The music, the special fireballs, the slow-motion death - everything was awesome.

Babe, this is the best Bowser fight on a handheld device. Just interesting and very surprising as you run from Bowser in the end.

This Bowser battle is well-known for introducing the Koopa Clown Car. That thing used to scare me when it got angry and started trying to crush me. This is also one of the first battles I've had with Bowser.

How can you not like this final battle? You have to defeat a scary, gigantic Baby Bowser before he rams right into you! Also, let's not forget the totally epic battle music.

Kamek's dialogue: "Honey, I enlarged the baby... and deflated a gamer's psyche!" No seriously, I had nightmares about that fight!

It starts out as the classical fight in Super Mario Bros., then it turns into an escape from a gigantic Bowser! EPIC!

The same as the classics until Bowser turns into a GIGA BOWSER and crushes everything. More of a stage, but still awesome.

Classic at first, but then it becomes unique when Bowser turns really BIG! Really great battle.

By far the best Bowser battle I have ever experienced. Everything from the concept to the intensity, the setting, and even the music was practically perfect.

Absolutely the most awesome Bowser battle ever. For once, he's actually being smart...until he stands on the POW Block.

Bowser turns into a cat. Enough said.

You punch him with his hat. I don't think that sentence made sense to you, but it will after you fight him.

The way you have to stomp on his head is so typical for a Super Mario game!

It is an incredible final boss fight. I do not know how Nintendo did this.

The best final Bowser battle. Seriously. In most games, Bowser is more often than not a joke. Paper Mario shows the inner villain in him, showing what he's capable of and how deadly he can be.

There we go! This one's the best! Bowser gets to see how strong he actually is. Plus, Fawful's inside of Dark Bowser! I'm done. This battle's just lit.

Although you battle against Dark Bowser and play as the real Bowser, this battle is still cool.

And with this battle, a legend begins...

This was, for now, my favorite Bowser battle - even better than the rest.

No matter how much the game sucked, the final boss looked epic. You can't deny it.

I'm tired of everyone whining about how Antasma wasn't the final boss. After all Bowser has been through in the previous Mario & Luigi games, I'm glad to see him finally defend his reputation as a villain. This is also one of the hardest Bowser battles we've had in a long time.

You fight Bowser when he is practically a god and can do anything he wants! The music, Adventure's End, also rivals that of In the Final, the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story final battle music.

Atmosphere + Music + Well-balanced difficulty = Best final Bowser boss in the series.

This is my favorite game of all time (don't hate me), and its final Bowser battle is just epic. If you think about it, you're kind of fighting to save Bowser from the black paint that's possessing him.

I also like how the music is a remix of a few songs from the game, such as Eerie Hotel, Bowser's theme, and, of course, the title theme. I haven't finished this game yet, but I know that the final battle is going to be epic.

This battle is awesome because you can do whatever you want. From giving him wings to stacking him on all enemies.

You can make Bowser do anything you want!

How can it be a copy if it's made by the same creators?

While it might have been easy, the overall concept of this battle is awesome. There is so much to avoid, from Bowser's flames to Bowser Jr.'s endless barrage of Bullet Bills to the hoop that flies everywhere. I truly love this boss.

The game and battle had good graphics, but they were the same as the Wii version, so it's not my favorite.
