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 controls a bunch of rocks, which explains the name. He's not that hard until he gets his fists, which make it harder to hit him, but he's especially tough 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 tough as some others. 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! I've seen a ton of underwater sunken ship levels, but never a haunted ship in the sky. Airships are awesome, and so is Bouldergeist!

Can't deny that this is the most interesting and hard water battle. Sometimes, on worlds that are dark, I somehow actually get scared!

But this... LOVE IT!

Hear me out. This is a great boss. Unique in a way different from other bosses.

The music is good, and it's 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.

An all-time instant classic. The sheer satisfaction you get after defeating this great boss is unbelievable. This will always 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's a tiny bit too easy and too short. Otherwise, it could've been the best boss in the entire game.

Is that his name? MegaLeg? Three legs? Huge? Bowser Jr.?

Whatever, anyway, this boss was always a bit of a pushover. Why so big if it's so easy? So, yup... Good enough for me to make the list.

Best boss fight in the entire game. Forget this game - best boss fight in the entire Super Mario series. Actually, best boss fight of all time in any video game to ever exist.

The music, the intense additions, the buildup, the reactor, the stages, the atmosphere, the presentation, and the level design of the planets combined with Bowser's epic skill set make this easily the best boss fight 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 on a whole other level.

The Bowser in the first Galaxy is, besides being more difficult, really cool - especially the final phase where he has several different attacks. One of those phases, I think, foreshadows the Boulder Mushroom.

In Galaxy 2, he's bigger, so that removes the risk of running into him (because he floats). The final-final boss is kind of basic.

Pros: He's the king of flipping lava, which is insanely awesome! On top of that, he's a tentacled monster who bathes in lava. His son, Prince Pikante, who appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2, isn't as cool but is harder than his father.

Cons: Both (all three if you count Super Mario Galaxy 2) of your battles with him are easier than Dino Piranha. 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 King Kaliente is a lot cooler (I meant more awesome, not the temperature - if we're talking temperature, it's the opposite) than most bosses.

Dino Piranha on fire. Difficult but really good.

You can't go wrong with a fiery dinosaur plant thingy that's on fire!

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, and 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 that I cried. Then he screamed, and I fell over laughing. Tail... umm, what do I do with this?

This is like the easiest boss in the game!

This boss made me want to throw my TV at my other TV, 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.

Worst boss ever. It took me like an hour because it takes a long time, but it was kind of easy, except for the acid it shoots out.

Probably my favorite boss I've ever battled. A few years after this battle, I realized the music sometimes sounds like farting noises! I really hope they bring Megahammer back in the future, looking really cool!

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.

When I was little, he was hard!

Very funny boss until I figured out there's a world with him on FIRE!

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.

Seriously? This deserves to be higher on this list! This guy is awesome, and you get to battle him multiple times in the series. Also, he's so easy that even the daredevil stars are hard to fail!

Cool and all, but I voted for him just because it took me 4 TIMES!

He's very good. He's a creative and fun boss. The difficulty is just right, but it mostly comes from how hard it is to hit him rather than how much damage he does. It's 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.

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.
