Top Ten Super Mario Galaxy Bosses

Come on! Bouldergeist is no doubt one of the best Mario franchise bosses in general, in my opinion! Megaleg looks awesome, but was the easiest level in the entire game! Bouldergeist is a ghost that is controlling a bunch of rocks, which explains the name! And he is really not that hard until he gets his fists, which make it harder to hit him, but he is especially hard on his daredevil run! My favorite level in the game is actually Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada, and Bowser Jr. is a hard boss in it, but not as hard as some! I wish they would make an Airship level like Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada, but haunted - the Airships would be flooded with Boos, Dry Bones, Bouldergeist, and other ghostly characters! I'm going to make a haunted Airship level in Super Mario Maker, called: ''Metal Mario's Ghostly Fleet'' - an Airship fleet for my favorite Mario character, Metal Mario! I mean come on, when do we ever see a haunted Airship level in a Mario game? Never! The answer is never! I've seen a ton ...more
This is really cool. At first, there is no way to hit him and then he throws grey, black, and gold rocks at you. The grey rocks are normal rocks with no effects other than damaging you. The gold rocks explode into coins(they don't appear in the daredevil run). And finally, the black rocks explode into Bomb Boos. You use those Bomb Boos to fling at Bouldergeist. Do this 3 times and he/it will show his/its true form. A black blob with a red weakpoint. Bomb boos are summoned during this that you have to swing at Bouldergeist. After this, he enters his second phase where has has hands that go down in 2 bomb boos. They do reappear after a bit though. This boss is challenging in his daredevil run and he even reappears in the Boss Blitz galaxy in Galaxy 2.
Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run use to be hard for me, not because Bouldergeist is actually difficult, but because I have bad luck with the Bomb Boos and no precision.
He is like, really good. You have to swing the black boy boos at his big long shaft, and then big boulder boy will turn into a little ball with a red slimy phallic thing hanging down and you have to hit him one more time with the black boys and he will die. Obviously, a really fun boss.

Here me out. This is a great boss. Unique in a way different from other bosses. Music is good, and an overall fun boss fight.
I like how this is a basic level(a fun water level) with a crazy boss where you have to shoot shells while avoiding mini versions of the boss.
He made water bosses fun. (Now that's astonishing)
Who else? Bowser? Laugh out loud!

All time instant classic. The sheer satisfaction you get after defeating this great boss is unbelievable. Always will be one of this game's highlights. The music, the buildup and the fight itself are all perfect. The only bad thing about it is that it is a tiny bit too easy and too short. Otherwise it would've been the best in the entire game potentially.
Is that his name? MegaLeg? Three legs? Huge? Bowser Jr.?
Watever anyway this boss was always a bit of a pushover. Why so big if so easy? So yup... Good enough 4 me to make the list.
Climbing a big robot to aim bullet bills at the cage. This is really cool.
He's not that hard.

Best boss fight in the entire game. Forget this game, in the entire series. Nope, best boss fight of all time in any video game to ever exist. The music, intense additions, buildup, the reactor, the stages, atmosphere, presentation and the level design of the planets combined with bowser's epic skill move set are easily the best in any boss to date.
Why is this only 4th? It should be 1st by a landslide. The other bosses are great, but bowser in this game is a whole other thing.
The Bowser in the first galaxy is, besides being more difficult, really cool. Especially the final one where he has several phases. One of which, I think it foreshadows the boulder mushroom.
In the second galaxy, he's big so that removes the risk of running into him(because he floats). The final final boss is kind of basic.
In the original galaxy he was fantastic, can't say the same for him in galaxy two (mindlessly ground pounding planet)
First game, Yes. Second, not so much

Really nostalgic. The concept behind it is great, but it would've been appreciated if he was a bit harder. I love the idea of playing tennis with a boss, and the lava version of him later on is really fun and good. Although once again, a bit too easy. Still an all time classic, with some nice music in the background
Pros: the king of flipping LAVA, that itself is insanely awesome, but being a tentacled monster who bathes in lava, that is unbelievable, his son Prince Pikante who appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not as cool but he is harder than his father. Cons: Both (all three if the Super Mario Galaxy 2 encounter counts) of your battles with him are easier than DINO PIRHANA, COME ON! Also he might just be the king of octoombas and not lava (of course, he could be the king of both, which would make him even MORE awesome) the pros beat the cons by a long shot though, and while I agree that Megaleg and Kingfin are SLIGHTLY more awesome than him, I would also agree that he is a lot cooler (I meant more awesome, not the temperature, in which case it would generally be the opposite) than most bosses
King Kaliente was pretty cool in the first battle, but when he came back as the fifth observatory boss like a new, severely burned, revenge seeking octopus lord, well that was just unbelievably epic.
A basic battle but the tennis-like gimmick is pretty cool.

This is stupid easy, why do people say he's hard? Sure, he's on fire and much faster, but guys, seriously, it's still Dino Piranha. The EASIEST boss in the game! Literally, just do what you do, the tail goes out at an opportune time if you do it right.
Hoe is a plant on fire and now it's alive, makes as much since as a shark that can't bite through a gummy bear even though it's a SHARK!
Dino Piranha on fire. Difficult but really good.
He is known to many for his high difficulty level in both games

Again, GSDR is not hard. Just do simple jumps, avoid the fireballs, throw shells at Kamella. Easy.
I feel the only stressful part is the 1 HP, but the boss itself is not challenging.

This was the first ever boss (as is everyone's) I encountered in Super Mario Galaxy. I felt so bad when I opened the egg I cried. Then he screamed and I fell over dying. Tail umm watdoido with this?
This is like the easiest boss in the game!
First boss in game

Well not sure

I love this boss! it's a good memory, considering from what I heard, The game he's originally from was good.

This boss made me want to throw my T.V. at my other T.V.. If that makes any sense. It was hard for a noob like me. But it was still a fun one to play, even just for the fun of it.
Nice use of the cloud flower. Also has a cool second phase.
Don't does it man

Yeah he was a cool boss


A bit annoying honestly
This boss is very tricky!
Worst boss ever it took me like an hour because it takes a long time, but it was kind of easy, except fir the acid it shoots out
Very unique battle.

My most favorite Mario boss music of all time. And also Yoshi is there too! My favorite.
A giant robot with hammer arms. It also provides a good challenge.
An Incredibly fun fight!
Also, it has some pretty awesome music.

Seriously? This deserves to be higher on this list! This guy is awesome and you got to battle him multiple times in the series. Also, he is so easy that even the daredevil stars are HARD to fail!
Cool and All but I voted him just because it took me 4 TIMES!

This was honestly not that bad of a boss until I met fiery gobblegut. Fire! Anyway gobblegut is a dragon with body pimples. Lol. Hit them = you win.


Gobblegut was a good boss but this makes it more difficult and awesome.
Cool and Climactic, shame it wasn't the main star in the galaxy.

He is very good. He is a creative and fun boss. The difficulty is just right, but mostly comes from how hard it is to hit him rather than how much damage he does. It is always fun to drill from below and smack into his bottom.
Love this music! Technically in the sequel, but still in the franchise, so I say Galaxy 2 bosses can belong on this list.



Not really a boss

Absolutely stupid. Easy as pie.
