Top Ten Lamest Mario Boss Battles of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Boom Boom - Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros U, New Super Luigi U

Someone at Nintendo is really obsessed with this guy. They need to quit using him! He's in Mario 3 seventeen times, 3D Land seven times, 3D World four times, NSMB U six times, and NSL U six times. That's forty fights with this idiot.

To top it off, he's not even a good boss! You just jump on his head, wait a few seconds, and repeat. He barely even gets a chance to attack, and when he does he just flails his arms around like an idiot! I thought Nintendo was the king of innovation. Well, using the same boss forty times doesn't seem very innovative to me!

And somehow this guy is not considered terrible, but the Koopalings are merely filler. Guys, play the game. Boom Boom, Pom Pom, and Mega Goomba are way worse than the Koopalings.

2 Baby Bowser - Yoshi's New Island Baby Bowser, referred to simply as Bowser, is the infant version of Mario's arch-nemesis Bowser, and the main antagonist of the Yoshi's Island series.

Anyone remember the final boss from Yoshi's Island? It was FANTASTIC! The atmosphere, the music, and the boss were amazing!

Unfortunately, 19 years later, they couldn't top it. Yoshi's New Island ruins our childhood. First, you have to fight a giant Baby Bowser just like the original game, except it's absolutely atrociously bad. All he does is shoot super slow fireballs, and then he starts hopping up and down for no reason!

"But DC! The platforms move after each jump!" Yeah, I know, but why? The platforms never go under the lava. (If you don't understand, it means it can never hurt you!) It's completely pointless! He just keeps wasting your time as you think about how many other games you could've spent your money on.

However, after that, you'd think it'd be over, but suddenly, warping through space and time, King Bowser appears. Really, Nintendo? That's the best you could come up with? Pretty shamelessly lazy. Well, on the plus side, this boss can't be much worse than the Baby Bowser one! Oh wait, it's the same boss! Terrible!

3 King Bob-Omb - Super Mario 64 King Bob-omb became a recurring boss in later games, specifically spin off games such as Mario Party 9 and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.

So you've made it to the top of the mountain, where the dastardly King Bob-Omb awaits. This is not just any bomb, it's the king of them all! Is it going to be dangerous? Definitely!

Oh no! He's coming after me... really... slowly. That's right folks, all he does is walk around... menacingly! He doesn't really attack you either, and he doesn't even send his Bob-omb army against you. He just walks around. So you throw him on his behind and he explodes. There's nothing worse than that.

You literally run circles around him. Or you can let him throw you and reset his turn speed.

4 Cloud N Candy - Yoshi's Story

I always thought that the whole point of bosses was to test your skill or try to kill you. This guy hops along, made out of candy floss. What's his grand evil scheme? To increase the chances of Yoshi getting tooth decay? Truly, he is the greatest villain of all time!

So he hops around, and if you happen to take some damage, every time you attack him, his yummy candy floss body recovers any damage you got. Maybe they can add sprinkles next time too. That'll definitely make him more intimidating! Move aside, Bowser! Cloud N Candy is in town, and he means business!

5 Whomp King - Super Mario 64
6 Boss Boo - Super Mario Sunshine

Boss Boo is not King Boo, but either way, he deserves to be mentioned. So King Boo was fought in Luigi's Mansion, but he was basically replaced by Bowser. So Boss Boo gets the spotlight for Super Mario Sunshine. But nope. It sucked.

The boss takes place on a giant spinning roulette wheel, and you need to win on the slots. Boss Boo spits out fruit. Then you need to throw a red hot chili pepper in his mouth. What part of that makes you think "Boss Boo"? It could be any other enemy and it would be the same exact boss fight.

7 Mega Goomba - New Super Mario Bros

You don't have to use the booster springs. Mario can jump, lead him over to the west wall, and then wall jump on his head three times in five seconds. There you go, noobs.

So people say NSMB had great bosses. I agree, but I'd rather fight Boom Boom than this guy! At least Boom Boom doesn't take over thirty seconds to complete.

8 Marching Milde - Yoshi's Island
9 Koopalings - Super Mario Bros 3 - New Super Luigi U

I personally enjoy some of the Koopalings fights, but I wish there would be more interesting gimmicks than what actually happens.

10 Final Bowser - New Super Mario Bros (DS)

This one is so boring. I actually hate New Super Mario Bros 2 more than this one though, but it is definitely boring.

The Contenders
11 Bonechill - Super Paper Mario

Here's what would have made Bonechill better:

1. Give him tough armor on his head that you have to break before you hit him.
2. Half the damage he takes when you hit him with Luigi's super jump.
3. Every time you hit him (and you can only hit him once at a time), his armor regenerates, even tougher than last time.
4. His attacks are way faster.

I would like somebody to hack a Bonechill fight and add these suggestions. Maybe then Bonechill would be a better fight.

I should've made this number one. This boss is horrible and so is his character! He spews out info, is completely unmemorable, and then guess what? You play as Luigi, spam the jump button, and this fight is over in less than ten seconds.

12 Megasparkle Goomba - Paper Mario: Sticker Star
13 Big Boo - Super Mario 64

What if we took Boo and made him bigger? I hope whoever invented this guy at least got a raise for it. Otherwise, it is super boring.

14 Meowser - Super Mario 3D World

This boss is just a platformer, but it's definitely more interesting than jumping over his head like in Bowser Bridge fights.

This boss is fun, but he will be remembered as one of the only bosses I have defeated.

15 Bowser and Bowser Jr. - Super Mario Sunshine
16 Bowser Jr. - New Super Mario Bros DS Bowser Jr., or sometimes simply Jr., is a video game character who appears in Nintendo's Mario franchise as the secondary antagonist. He is the youngest son of the series' primary antagonist, Bowser.
17 Giant Bowser - New Super Mario Bros Wii u
18 Bowser - Super Mario Bros. Bowser is the main antagonist of the Mario Bros. Franchise. From kidnapping Princess Peach to simply destroying a fun game between Mario and Friends in the Mario Party spinoff series, this king of the Koopas has set up a certain hatred towards himself amongst the large cast of Mario Characters. He first... read more

Literally just jump over his head.
