Literally nothing but a chase sequence based off the game's gimmick power and a POW block.
>>331324439
Fuck me if that ATMOSPHERE didnt kick ass
What's an example of a good mario boss?
I actually really like the chase sequence bosses in newer Mario games. They're actual platforming bosses. Mario isn't really about combat so it makes more sense IMO. Honestly the only time Mario platformers have had particularly good bosses is the Mario Galaxy games.
Sunshine was the worst
>>331324713
So long gay bowser
>>331324439
Cat Bowser looks silly sure but its a kids game. And whats wrong with platforming in a platforming game?
>>331324801
Fuck off Junior
>>331324439
I couldn't help but think it was cool honestly, even if it was a simple chase it felt intense.
>>331324439
I liked it.
I like how bosses sort of are levels now rather than an arena
>>331324801
This is the correct answer. It is not even debatable
>>331324997
Yeah even though Sunshine as a game is mai waifu, the end boss is pretty crap.
>>331324439
>pink cat Bowser
Looks really gay. Even more gay than Yoshi. And that's saying something.
>>331325101
haha.
>>331324439
>bowser using the two unique power ups of the game against you
>bad
Nah, if you want shit look at sunshine. Not only is the boss pathetically easy, but the setting is retarded with bowser sitting in a gigantic hot bowl full of green water. And to top it all off the level before the boss fight is a god awful,tedious mess where you steer a boat across lava
>>331324898
Mario 3 was a kid's game too and it was dark af
>>331324942
Except for every other boss in the game which are fought in an arena.
The second to last level in the game is literally just a bunch of bosses in arenas.
>>331325101
the pink is the lighting, hes orange/white

>bright, joy-filled eyes, and a perpetually large grin
Someone didnt play Paper Jam
>>331324439
it makes far more sense to base the boss on the mechanics established during gameplay than to make the player discover new concepts immediately. It also allows them to make the boss more challenging or to apply him to the level without breaking the game's pacing
>>331324997
64 was worse
>>331325781
Yes
>>331324439
only furries will defend this
>>331324439
It was retarded, yes
>>331324867
That was much easier than 3D worlds final.
>>331325310
>someone was so casual they never made it to World Bowser
>>331324439
Stupid appearance for Bowser (but that's kind of Mario tradition anyway, now just applied to Bowser), but awesome atmosphere and soundtrack. That's enough for me to forgive Meowser.
What do people expect? Giga Bowser in a main Mario game?
The atmosphere and build up were 10/10, but the fact that the boss was just a fucking POW block was super disappointing.
Overall was still pretty good though, even if the end left a bad taste in my mouth.
I fucking hated 3D World
The music was top notch, at least

the boss was the level, not the pow block. but i can see how it would be disappointing if you expected a fight at the end

If Bowser always had the ability to use power-up items, why did he wait until 3D World to use one, and why did he use the objectively worst power?
The endgame in most Mario games are hype as fuck. Mario survived a second Big Bang in Galaxy.
>hating that fantastic level
Come on, after those shitty car segments did you expect something both combat oriented AND good?
They took what they were good at and ran with it.
NSMBWii did a great job of it too.
>>331329630
Probably an ego thing.
>>331329836
The Big Bang is the greatest hoax in humanity's history. God created the universe and science is a fucking lie!
>Worst
>They made you platform, which was important part of the game
Heck no
It's nice doing something that's not hit somebody 3x
>>331330076
Can I just say, the car segments become a lot more exciting if you run as fast as you can at the car and thus force it to speed up.
>>331329630
He was powerful enough without them.
>>331329630
Didn't he use the Tanuki Leaf in 3d land?
>>331325310
mario 3 was explicitly all an act though
Pow Block was kinda shit.
But the atmosphere and music
Hory Shitu
I liked that part where Mario goes up the pipe, and Bowser's right beside him with a spotlight shined on himself, climbing up the tower. It just looks really cool for some reason.
Not even close. Most 3D Mario bosses stick out like a sore thumb, they don't involve any form of platforming, you just stand around and wait to exploit the boss's weakness, repeat two more times. It's a complete joke. Having a final segment that actually involved platforming was a nice change.
Worst 3D Mario final boss would be Sunshine followed by Super Mario Galaxy 2
>>331333076
He also used the Power Stars to power himself up in 64, and he gets his own kind of powerups from Kamek in a bunch of other games
>>331333298
That was just fan theory for years. Miyamoto only agreed to it because it's 20 years later and he clearly doesn't give a fuck anymore.
>>331333663
He also grows huge by eating meat or having Mario and Luigi poke around in his ass
>>331324547
>That second half of the music as you go up the pipe
>Hear the double cherry aound effect behind you
Fuggin incredible

Giga Bowser doesn't even mean anything in Mario games, where he can already change his size all the damn time.
>>331324439
It's not even as bad as the final boss of Sunshine. It was bad, but Sunshine ended so poorly after a perfect build up I could only think "at least it wasn't as bad as the final battle of Sunshine".
>>331324997
well its the best Mario game so it is debatable
>>331325282
>god awful tedious mess where you steer a boat across lava
No, that was an awesomely challenging build up to the worst let-down final boss of all time.
>>331324439
>>331324439
I fucking loved this boss fight. It just kept surprising me.
Also, top kek.
>>331334698
It wasn't challenging at all, it was a test of patience.
>>331334893
>>331333832
Except it is obvious to anyone playing the game.
>bowser follows you up the pipe
>falls off outside the view of the camera
>mfw i hear doublecherry.mp3
The build up was great, the things that let it down were
1. The boss was a slow pan stage. I'd rather have a platforming challenge than a generic wait for the weakspot 3HP boss, but waiting around on those cloud platforms for the camera to rise wasn't exactly the funnest or most exciting thing around. In this aspect, 3D Land's final boss was a lot better.
2. Fucking POW block. It just feels like they couldn't figure out a proper way to beat him so they just put a block in instead.
