The baby from PiT isn’t Jr, but Bowser as a baby himself. It’s a cool parallel to Mario and Luigi holding their baby selves on their backs throughout the game.
Good! I'm glad you pointed that out. I swear it's like some people cannot tell the difference between Bowser Jr and baby bowser. I mean even worse is the Mario Bros are going back in time and meeting their baby selves so why would it be Bowser Jr to begin with? Of course it's baby bowser. Damn it nathaniel!
@@Sly88Frye That's because they share the same design (minus the bandana), which is why it's easy to get them confused
The different bandana is obvious enough, to be honest
@@Sly88Frye Even the Finnish Wikipedia page for Mario characters can not seem to differentiate them!
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 that doesn't matter if their design is similar. The problem is in every case baby Bowser exists when Mario is a baby or in stories that Yoshi is the main character which seem to all take place back when Mario was a baby. There is no excuse for calling baby Bowser Bowser Jr in partners in time. There is absolutely no excuse for that because the Mario Bros clearly went back in time and saw their baby selves so obviously the Bowser that you are seeing there is baby bowser. Why would Bowser Jr be that far in the past? It was already established that the Mario Bros and Bowser are pretty close to the same age.
Number one in my opinion is dark star Bowser, I just love the detail that the Dark star picks the strongest form it can copy, which happens to be Bowser, which makes sense considering everything you and the bros have been doing has led to Bowser being at his peak health and performance
One of my favorite games. I loved it on the DS
Yeah I think he's just a super Mario Galaxy fanboy. I saw this boss fight yesterday, and I don't know if I've gotta play it myself for the real feeling but it wasn't that great in comparison to dark star bowser
Bowser's Inside Story is the best game ever amd the Final Boss was pure art and masterpice
that's technically not bowser
@@coolfella9745he's a MARIO fan
13:16 It's not Bowser Jr it's Baby Bowser, whole game is about traveling in the past, which is why Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are here, and so Baby Bowser too. This is the past version of Bowser, not his son.
THANK YOU
Fr it's baby Bowser nobody gets it
He's close enough, I can see why people confuse it
THANK YOU
@@jeremyreyes1817No? Bowser Junior is the same as his dad?
"Bowser teams up with bowser jr" Just a small correction, that one isn't Bowser Jr, but bowser in his youth
Edit: how did i got so many likes!?
Yes!
Ikr
Who tf would know this and how
Or are you talking about Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time?
@@austria-hungary7680 yes
Bowser's Inside Story has the best final boss theme in all Mario games. No wonder because it's composed by Yoko Shimomura.
I prefer Adventures End in Dream Team
Why am I not surprised it was Shimomura? She's a musical master.
@@miguelgcgamer9878 Adventure's End is one of my most favourite tracks of all time, it's a shame that they didn't put it in Smash
A man once said, Shimomura could fart into a tin can and it would still sound beautiful.
It’s really good but I prefer the Bowser theme in Super Mario Galaxy.
I’m so happy bowsers inside story was rated so highly! It was the first Mario and Luigi game I played when I was a kid and I remember replaying the final boss so much I was able to do it no hit. The music is so good and fits a final boss!
Sorry to rain on your parade but no-hit isn’t that difficult on that boss. Either way a total masterpiece, I played that fight many times too!
I used to be so bad at rhat game but I still loved it. Only beat the boss twice and then I lost the game.
@@SonicMaster519 its almost as if they were a child and was happy. Stop being an ass and let people enjoy stuff
@@user-gj7sy1dy1q My apologies, I wasn’t trying to be rude at all! I just felt as if the boss is quite easy to no-hit but I still would like to congratulate them.
@@SonicMaster519
When I was 5 beating the damn carrot minigame was so hard that I literally celebrated it with cake. Beating the final boss was the peak of my early childhood 😅
Personally I consider the Super Mario 3D Land final Bowser fight to be the best ever, with the barrel throwing and all the running and platforming it just feels like a perfect blend of everything a Mario final boss should be.
I was looking for someone with this take in the comments! Not to mention, the music is phenomenal imo too.
Not to mention the last section where you're running from Bowser and have to avoid the blocks.
3d land is far underrated
I used to do these fights every morning on the bus. Easily the most fun I've had in a mainline mario game that didn't involve multiplayer.
@@superhappywars3713 better than 3d world to say atleast
I still randomly think and get flustered about Paper Mario (64) Bowser healing for 30 HP from time to time, even if I’m just like cooking food or something totally unrelated. 😭
Yo it's GaMetal!
hahahaha
*CCCCRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH*
Arguably the most difficult Bowser boss fight EVER!
He can only do it three times, if memory serves. Some of the other bosses in Paper Mario have no such restrictions.
Fun fact: Sakurai once said that "Giga Bowser is based of the original Bowser as a scary monster instead of gentle design"
Ohhhh Yeah That Makes Sense And Its So Epic
Giga bowser is just Bowser from Dark souls
@@RL-DarkSpark Wait The WHAT?
Modern Siiroth meanwhile: Sakurai secretly hates how Bowser is protayed in the Mario games, so make Giga Bowser because that's what he wants Bowser to be.
By the way, I seriously miss the days for when Siiroth didn't go with his exaggerated headcanons
13:35 - I don’t think that’s Bowser Jr. That’s Mario, Luigi and Bowser fighting alongside their younger selves, that is Baby Bowser.
My favorite Bowser boss is the final Fury Bowser battle in Bowsers Fury. Especially the last phase where you chase him down. So good.
Same here, that entire game completely blew me away the first time I played it, like Dark Souls Mario lol
Damn those Mario & Luigi games look like so much fun. I need to try those out
Yes. Yes they are. And yes. Yes you do.
Hey act man did not expect you to be here
Bro they're some of the best games I've played I've had a blast.
I did not expect to see you here Act Man! I recommend playing Superstar Saga. I PROMISE you, after you play it, you will make a video over it
Highly recommend Superstar Saga or Bowser's Inside Story!
The intro has got to be the most cinematic, well-made, and best-edited intro I've ever seen from the channel. Spectacular job!
i think hes editor "Jon" did a good job though.
@@PeachyShowtime I totally agree, he did a great job
@@mariobois5303 I agree aswell. Jon already did a REALLY good job editing but this is GODLY
@@PeachyShowtime Jon didn’t animate the intro. It was Camtoonist, one of the people working on Bandys Universe
@@gavinisback Nice. Props to that guy!
Something I really like about the Bowser's in the Mario and Luigi games are the fact that regardless of how much power he gets, a lot of it comes from his army, despite the fact he can do insane things alone, many of his strongest attacks utilize his subordinates. Inside story has the dark minions and his special attacks, dream team has both the dream minions when he's big and the dreamy Bowser final battle minions stalling you while he tries to heal. Then there's paper jam where he gets revived when his army becomes part of him! It shows that he thinks highly of them even when he's achieved his goals
I guess it's not technically a bowser fight, but aren't we even going to give a honorable mention to the amazing luigi's mansion bowser/king boo fight? Seeing bowser with his head twisted 180° and decapitated by the end of the fight gives me chills in the best way a mario game can. Amazing fight.
4:29 I feel like that “But Yoshi was not amused.” screen could become a meme in the future.
Edit: wtf how did this dumb comment get this many likes thx I guess
it probably will
ikr I was thinking the same thing
I thought it already was? I've seen people use it as a reaction meme before
@@mrsuperheatran2794 Oh I looked it up and there's a few memes of it but not many
@@mrsuperheatran2794 We need more un-amused Yoshi memes in our society.
3:15 : "But it also plays a lot GOODER compared to the original." Please. I can't handle it. GOODER?!?
I guess it’s kinda expected if you spend your entire life talking about video games.
Oooh it makes me so happy to finally see Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story getting the praise it deserves
Why wouldn’t it? It’s the best Mario & Luigi game, and the best Mario RPG, behind only Thousand-Year Door!
Taking Superstar Saga and Bowletta into account, I was disappointed to not see Shroob powered Bowser on the list
But that fight is just a little extra, you can’t even attack, just dodge
@@Salieri01 I mean, several of the included "fights" are "run away from Bowser." I really don't see any criteria that would disqualify that one without also removing several others.
I'm pretty surprised the Story Mode wasn't considered at all for Mario Maker 2. The last level (Meowser Showdown!) pays really nice homage to the final battle in 3D World, and has a decently interesting battle combined with a great buildup. Definitely beats most of the Bowser/Meowser fights you'll see in online levels.
That intro though! I wonder how long that took to make.
It took the animator camtoonist about 5 days or so
Dang, that's pure dedication. If this is what a ranked video looks like, I can't wait to see how Bandy's Universe will be.
👍
@@NathanielBandy niceee
Wtf 23 hr ago? This video uploaded 4 min ago how is this possible?
There's a mistake, in #22 (a.k.a the Partners In Time boss fight) the small Bowser isn't Jr, it's Bowser's younger self. Bowser Jr is the one with the red smile on his bandana.
I honestly didn't expect Bowser's Inside Story to be this high on the list at 3rd and 2nd (due to sprite differences).
its my favourite mario game, it has its goofy moments, great soundtrack and is full of absolutely unique things, and massive ive played it for sure over 100 hours in the same file.
@@uiopisreal9966 it is SO damn good. It has really funny moments for a mario game, the plot is great, the different bosses and chracters are so interesting, the mechanics are so unique and OH MY GOD the music! I can't get the music from the garden part out of my head!
He even undersold it. There's also the hidden gauntlet final boss which is a way harder and more intense version of bowser. Best boss fight in the game
I’m glad 3D Land managed to rank really high. That battle was non-stop as Bowser restlessly attacks you while the tower falls apart.
Yes, that battle was so epic to play, the Platforms breaking, the threat of bowsers flames/spike balls/barrels chasing you, the background music Epic af honestly it's a really good fight
@@phantom9831 Ah yes, the music. It’s easily best track in the game. Really sells you on the intensity and urgency of the scenario. Thanks for reminding me.
@@nintendolife25 no prob x) i love this game so much that i never miss an opportunity to play it one more time
One reason I enjoy the Galaxy battle so much is because its one of the very few tines in a platformer you get to just attack Bowser directly with your bare hands. Yes you do use the environment to make him vulnerable, but you're actually doing damage with your own two fists and I just love simple, no gimmick brawls between archenemies.
5:53 Bowser mains when they deal 40% by holding down the B button
20:17
Stanley: *silently glaring as he keeps narrator quiet to avoid him making a sassy joke*
3:16 "It plays a lot gooder" - Nathaniel Bandy, 2022
My man’s Nathaniel just said “gooder”
This was actually a topic in one of the last Nintendo Power Magazine's and New Super Mario Bros Wii's fight was surprisingly the number one spot and honestly I can't blame them. The scope of the battle is absolutely huge.
my mind went straight to the wii fight after reading the title. such good design
Honestly, I'm surprised the baby Bowser fight from the first Yoshi's Island wasn't on this list, considering that is technically Bowser, it's just him as, well, a baby.
But, overall, absolutely great list!
Same with the Bowser fight in Yoshi’s story. It is inventive.
I feel like the Mario Party DS fight is good enough to include (I mean Hotel Mario and Smash Melee are on the list). Basically, Bowser transforms into a pile of blocks, with he golden one being the weak point. You have an assortment of punches and kicks that you have to pull off while dodging the attacks from his various block formations: Beyblade, Cube, and Train. I'd place it just above Giga Bowser.
This was such a fun fight. I was waiting for it to be on the list
if there's mario parry ds there needs to be all mario party games
@@garsrandom4358 Only the ones that have boss battles against Bowser specifically. It would make the list more definitive.
@@Cool-Vest_Leo and one even has 3
16:05 Superstar Sega?
Meowser is one of my fav video game boss battles ever. It's unique and gets intense when he uses the double cherry. Also the rain makes the whole thing like beautiful
Tbh, my very favorite Bowser fight and by far is from Dream Team Bros, specifically due to what it represents.
This fight is basically the result of his entire development through the Mario & Luigi series. One where he isn’t used as a sidekick to betray later on after being betrayed by literally everyone in BiS. One where isn’t used as a vessel to control and use for someone else’s purpose in Supersaga.
In this game, Bowser knows that Antasma is gonna betray him and makes the first move, which is in itself a huge plottwist considering how Bowser was treated through all the Mario & Luigi games. Bowser reclaiming his role as the final boss was heavily unexpected and that’s what makes it so great.
It’s also the fight where Bowser finally acknowledges Luigi as a threat as big as Mario for his plans. This is a fight where the two brothers are tested to their limit against a literal God of Dreams.
He is not playing around anymore. No longer a joke character but a final boss, and not a regular bowser final fight but a real threat.
And add to all this the godly OST that really represents an Adventure’s End.
A huge part of why he's considering Luigi a threat is probably due to unconsciously remembering the dreamy Luigi fight. After all, Dreamy luigi was capable of defeating him solo within his own dream and it's only after he grows even larger that mario is involved at all, and that's just him guiding the star.
I also totally agree about it being the best Mario and luigi bowser fight. While my favorite Mario and Luigi final boss is probably Dark Bowser and Fawful/Dark Star Core just because of how it's the Mario bros and Bowser working together to stop this threat that's threatening the whole kingdom. Not to mention Bowser proving that he's better than any imitation. There's also the whole sequence of chasing/fighting Dark Bowser leading up to the fight including the awesome vertical section. The reason that's not the best Mario and Luigi Bowser fight though is because you aren't fighting Bowser. You're fighting an imitation.
I think this comment plus me actually PLAYING Bowser's Inside Story really helped me see the perspective of Bowser's betrayal of Antasma. While I was and still am VERY disappointed that Antasma isn't the final boss, I now see that it makes sense with the previous game's developments. Bowser is tired of being betrayed and controlled. Though, we really didn't know for sure that Antasma would betray him, as he only misspoke, and stated he only wanted "To spread his wings" and be free. Antasma really did a lot for him tbh, he gave him power to defeat the bros in Dream's Deep, Helped him obtain an artifact which could grant both of their dreams, and Antasma respected Bowser and didn't wish over him or on the things he wanted. He wished for a castle for both of them, on Bowser's recommendation, which basically gave him dominion over Pi'illo Island, and gave him the power to live in his dreams and power up. We don't know if Antasma was going to betray Bowser or not, but I personally don't think so because he had times where he could, but didn't. And he was betrayed mostly because of Bowser's trust issues and his inflated ego.
The Bowser battles in Super Mario 3D Land (3DS) 23:39 are by far the best Bowser battles. I could play an entire game made of just those Bowser battles, they were so fun!
And can we take a good minute and talk about how GREAT the final boss theme in 3D Land is tho???
4:33 Yoshi may not be amused, but I sure am. This is meme material.
11:19 I’m glad we haven’t forgotten about Super Princess Peach. It was my favorite game on the DS and is extremely underrated.
I'm a girl gamer! *falls into spikes*
Galaxy was the first game I properly beat Bowser. So seeing it as number 1 made me incredibly happy. I still remember going through the final level. It itself was such a lead up to the fight. Not to mention how it's not even bowser who takes out the steps underneath you.
0:00 best intro ever!
The best part about Meowser for me is that it reminded me a lot of an episode of the Super Mario Bros 3 show, in wich Bowser uses every single powerup, including the boot.
I was thinking that too. He called himself Super Koopa in that episode I believe.
That episode is Super Koopa
That is one of my favourite episodes! (I actually have the whole series so- yea)
I really have no idea why you'd rank the uninspired adult Bowser fight in Yoshi's New Island anywhere higher than the more interesting New Super Mario Bros. U battle.
Because the gameplay in the Yoshi's Island one is much more complex and fun
17:28 Best Bowser battle ever
My personal favourite is bowser's fury. I just can't get over how chaotic and epic this boss is. And the music is just phenomenal! Also the fact that you can use mario's entire moveset in the kaiju battles is just genius. I know alot of people find bowser's fury to be mediocre for 3d mario, to me, this game is one gem of a super mario game.
You can't roll or dive
@@Ganonussyszestygorillagrip yes you can. Check the action guide
I wish games had more creative bosses, bowser in bowsers inside story is just perfect and Super Mario Galaxy is perfection
24:15
Wait...if bowser throws barrels like dk.....does that mean dk is just bowser in a gorilla costume?
I can't help but think of the spongebob episode with the real gorilla disguised as patrick.
@@derekassarian55 I was thinking about that while writing that lol
some of the Mario Party Bowser fights are intense. Mario Party 5 specifically comes to mind.
Yeah I wondered why they weren't included
The only one I've ever been able to play was 8 but I still expected to see it on here, at least somewhere, since technically you fight Bowser.
@@midnight_blue_moon yeah, I'd expected at least one of the Mario party fights since the DDR fight was there lol. Some of those fights were brutal though
3:05 my best example of paying to detail is this video, man, you make such a great content
SMG 1&2 proved just how much the right music sets the tone. I hope they bring back the orchestrated music at some point in the future.
21:08 Do not f*** with two bowsers
Take a shot every time he says “Bowser grows big.”
4:02 nice PowerPoint slideshow
Fun fact, those blue Bowsers are sometimes officially called Bowser's Brother, which I think is really funny.
I was today years old when I found out bowser had a brother…
I call him Mortan Sr. The koopalings real father.
What?
@@boneman9751 It's just a metaphoric name. But he has a real brother though. It's the Koopaling Iggy as you can read in the booklet of New Super Mario Bros. Wii!
@@herefordbull8468 Yes, maybe the Koopalings are Jr's cousins
11:08 That's because there's 2 arenas on this castle, one with this layout and another with the original, it depends on which path you choose during the stage
yes
13:24
Correction: That's not Bowser Jr. That's literally Baby Bowser
I was rooting for Paper Mario to be first but at least it was high up there. The atmosphere feels great too.
The original paper Mario and TTYD are two of my all time favourites, happy the original was up there
Yeah, me too. Paper Mario final boss is WAY more epic than SMG final boss imo. Great list though.
28:55 You watch Bowser get sucked in a massive pile of lava with no way of escaping
Proceeds to show a scene where Bowser escaped to see his Galaxy get destroyed
I half expected the OG Yoshi's Island to be number 1 since the sequels got listed and that was a scary but bad ass boss fight
The music was so good too. 😭
@@ILUV412 That alone makes it a top boss fight.
He didn’t include it because he thinks that Baby Bowser is Bowser Jr when he clearly isn’t.
@@wiiu-theunderratedconsole7569 tbf I used to think it was Bowser Junior but later realised it was a baby Bowser since the Mario Bros. are also babies 😂
By far the most intense out of this whole list. Maybe he never played it or something
Mario and Luigi partners in time was amazing. The boss battles were genuinely difficult as a kid. I remember fighting bowser and little bowser in that volcano and being so happy when he lost lol. The last boss fight In that game was brutally difficult too.
7:13 there is a fast strat for this fight, after throwing bowser at the first and second bombs, you can actually dive grab Bowser's tail before he lands which saves a lot of time in speedruns
DUDE THAT INTRO ANIMATION WAS SICK
Nathaniel's included so many different bowser forms, he would have included one with Doug Bowser if he could
One of my best memories with fighting Bowser was when I beat the final form in SM64, because it took three bombs to beat him instead of one, and the shape of the arena turned into a star, making hitting the bombs much harder. One of the few times in my life I jumped and cheered playing a video game.
It’s always gonna be Mario 64 for me. The last fight with bowser the music everything made it feel like it was up to you to save the whole mushroom kingdom. As a little kid playing my older siblings system I was blown away.
27:24 No one's gonna point out that he said "Inside Dark Bowser" when it's the REAL BOWSER??
Facts fr
15:16 can we just appreciate how he managed to clutch that fall.
oh my god most nostalgia I have felt in a while
I'm sorry
I always liked to think that the reason Bowser was rainbow when you fight him the third time is because of all the star power he's gained, now I realize it's lighting but I still like to think the other thing.
In my opinion, all the Baby Bowser fights are pretty exceptional, especially Mega Baby Bowser in Crafted World, the most creative boss fight I've played
Except in Yoshi's New Island
Yeah, and he didn't include them in the video because he stupidly believes that Baby Bowser is his own son instead of Bowser as a baby. I wonder if he thinks that Baby Mario is Mario's son.
My fave's the one in the first Yoshi's Island, love that boss so much
15:38 the way he grows accompanied by the whisper is so funny istg
I spent most of this list wondering where Bower's Inside Story would be and I'm so glad it made it near the top!
Bowsers inside story’s final battle is hands down the best bowser battle I’ve every played.
The music, the fact we play as both the bros and bowser and the atmosphere were all incredible
The first Bowser's inside story had AMAZING sprites the whole vibe of the fight is the music and the art
21:15 It's all fun and games until bowser becomes dio
Might be crazy but I feel like 3d land does something that not many others do with the final boss, and its build tension. You fight bowser normally in the final boss and its pretty hard. But then you get a unique section that is silent, and it feels like its over after everything. You even finally find peach until siddenly he appears again then leads into the most intense fight there is and it goes on for so long and it is constantly hectic and desperate.
9:56 "I feel like they feel" - Nathaniel 2022
"Virtualy identical"
"You would never guess going into a game that you'd get attached to an actual paint bucket"
After playing the stanley parable ultra deluxe this line is weirdly funny to me
Reminded me of when I cried for a ship in One Piece. A ship, of all things!
The music going with the Mario and Luigi Bowser fight is just brilliant, and I'm so happy it made it into Smash Ultimate.
BRO Nathaniel I have been watching you for 3 years and now your editing has improved so much I hope you hit 10 mil one day XD
That intro was AMAZING!!!
You forgot the Luigi’s Mansion when you fight bowser when you have to blow off his head, but other than that this video was really good.
I will forever respect him putting galaxys boss as number 1
27:00 did bowser just... falcon punch?
When Bowser swiped the platforms in New Super Mario Bros 2, it was so satisfying when the platforms lined up and he destroyed them all. And, Super Mario 3D world was the best adventure I had.
“ Bowser teams up with bowser jr" Just a small correction, that one isn't Bowser Jr, but bowser in his youth
when bowser was introduced: he is stoping you from getting the princess!
the release of yoshis iland: he is stoping you from getting weeg! and then! guess what? read it with me!
BOWSER GROWS BEEG!
3:16 "but it looks and plays alot gooder than the original." My new favorite nathaniel bandy quote.
8:14 anyone else notice the spirit he's using?
Pink Golden Peach
11:05 The layout of the blocks are identical, but in all versions of SMB3 there are 2 bowser battles, one for the top path of the castle, and the other for the bottom.
15:53 That's probably cause you were playing the US version. The JP/EU version is basically a whole new song, there's like 1 whole minute of new music
26:20 oh hell yeah.
26:38 hm
26:49 yes def
27:01 yep
27:12 indeed
27:23 dark star fawful
27:41 *AHAHAHAHAHAHH* nice. This is the one I played.
26:00 so basically plot armor
Oh, I'm surprised you didn't count the Popple and Rookie fights from Superstar Saga, given Rookie is also Bowser.
And I'm happy to see Sticker Star and Color Splash high up on the list: Despite being... not the best games (I still love Color Splashed though), their Bowser Battles are cool and interesting.
And I just want to mention one thing that makes Huey's use during the final boss far better than Kersty's:
Kersty's annoying. And her sacrifice is just her giving you a power up, which makes the whole battle far easier after.
Huey however is used at the middle of the battle, and not near the end... And it's not to sacrifice himself to make you stronger, but to fight alongside you, taking the hits so he can absorb the black paint. As the battle progresses, you can even see the damage he took... And if he takes too much, you lose. It's a far more interesting use, and you really feel like he's helping.
And he's not annoying.
Havent beat Colour Splash but for all the game's flaws, Huey is actually a good character
Just wish the game had more than one good character haha
Fun fact: You can use Infinijumps to cheese the Sticker Star Bowser battle without using Kersti as a sticker, so while definitely outside of the realm of what the developers intended, it means Kersti’s sacrifice was needless.
A few Bowser battles you missed.
1. SNES - Yoshi's Island
2. SNES - Tetris Attack
3. NES - Mario is Missing
For Super Mario Bros 3. The number of blocks Bowser needs to break to fall into the pit is different depending on which route you took to get there.
If I remember correctly from the large room, if you take the top route, you get the full set of bricks and the bottom route as one less row.
This is actually two different bowser rooms as with a P-Wing you can actually visit both rooms.
All versions/ports of Super Mario Bros 3 have this.

Bowser it's still to this day my favorite Nintendo villain. He has such an awesome personality and he's so cute at the same time and for being a good dad as well. 😊😊🥰❤❤
Game developers: how much big Bowser do you want?
Nintendo since 2000: _yes_
So far my favorite one has been the Paper Jam one. The boss fight theme and the battle itself is amazing
