Top Five Best And Worst Bowser Battles 

Not sure if this counts, but Dark Bowser at the end of Bowser's Inside Story was always my favourite Bowser fight.

One could say Adam's taking a look at... Both sides of the coin.

1:06 I guess you like Chuggaaconroy. Well, I have two words for you: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWSER'S AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dreamy Bowser. Easily one of my favorite, if not my absolute favorite Bowser battle of all time. Ever. Design ? Amazing. Ambiance and atmosphere ? At their finest. Difficulty ? Bowser is actually being SMART by protecting its weakspot and healing whenever in need, just like the player would. On my first run, this fight took me half an hour, and every single second was intense. Attacks ? Creative and pretty clever. (Bowser's usual fighting style, only amplified by the Dream Stone, making for some amazing and hard to counter techniques, along with permanent assist from minions and DX Airships) Music ? SWEET MOTHER OF GOD. ALL OF THE GOOSEBUMPS.

"I turn the other WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Nice I can understand why you have that as your favorite. Sadly I took that one down on my first try and if I ever beat a boss, let alone a final boss, on one try when I am prone to making so many mistakes... I'll let someone else finish that.

Oh, wow... This was the first time I've ever seen Dry Bowser... And holy... It's just terrifying...

Not gonna lie: Z's cameo made me cry from laughter. Now I want a Bad Dub Hot Tub!

Disclaimer: This product is fake. Well crap. I wanted that bad dub hot tub!

Oh yeah. The final battle with Bowser in 3D land gets as humourous as him bringing down the house? **Forgets the end of the battle where he supposedly has a dramatic slow-mo fall sequence before getting slammed on the head with a brick**.

I always liked Mario 64's because its makes you feel like a bad ass swinging him around like that

My favorite part of the NSMBU final battle is when Bpwser uses his meteor flame move after coming out of his shell. The way he walks towards you while meteors fall around you makes him look like a badass. He just needs those shades.

Ok, here's the thing, I actually don't hate the Super Mario Galaxy 2 Final Fight with Bowser. Think about it, how many times has he actually tried to kill you without the kooplings or kamek or Bowser Jr. to help him? Sure it's easy as hell but the atmosphere of the fight, the music, and feel of the fight was amazing for me.

After seeing the Bowser battle of Yoshi's New Island, New Super Mario Bros. 2's battle actually looks threatening by comparison. At least in NSMB2, the lava is a constant threat, and it requires the player to keep jumping from flimsy platforms while dodging claw swipes and fire. New Island's fight looks like they just gave up. Though, at least it didn't repeat the old "run under him and hit the switch" routine.

I kinda expected the final battle from Super Mario Galaxy in there. For me at least it doesn't get more epic than fight him stronger than ever as you hop from planet to planet getting closer every time to the CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. Then you proceed to trow him at a gigantic star and when you think he is done he comes back for a final dialogue before HE GETS SUCKED INTO THE STAR WHICH COLLAPSES INTO A BLACK HOLE WITH HIM ON IT, AND SURVIVES !!!!!!!!!!! Plus just how that battle was presented was pure gold.

POV: It's 2014, and you're currently watching this on your grease-drenched tablet on the lowest volume possible so you don't get caught by your parents.

I have never played Yoshi Topsy-Turvy. And after seeing this video, now I never want to.

9:10 is the the funniest thing I've seen you do QuarterGuy. Good work!

Bro, I come back to this one specific video every once in a while I love it a lot

One of the most nostalgic videos ever for me

Yo, QG, there's something I want to know. Just *what the fuck is the list of villainous blunders and where can I find it*?

My favourite Bowser Battle has got to be the one just before the final boss in TTYD. I just love how he saved Mario's butt while still challenging him to a fight. And we got to fight Kammy as well. _"What's a finale without a Bowser appearance? A cruddy finale, that's what!"_

I really do need to fire my interior decorator!

Someone give me a link to that villainous blunder list. Please and thank you.

My favorite has and always will be (for the foreseeable future) the third and final battle in Mario 64.

In my opinion, Dreamy Bowser should be on this list.

I'm sure you get all the ladies

Take a swig every time Adam says "Bowser".

Where's the final boss from Bowser's inside story bro?

Everyone in 2002 : corona fucking mountain! Everyone today : corona fucking virus!

"I turn the other WAAAAAAY!" ...Good going.

One cool thing about the fight in topsy turvey is the music was the inspiration of dean Ambrose’s wwe theme

9:23 Look at the bright side (or dark side depending on you you look at it): We're having a lot more clipping problems in the AAA games of today. That clip you had was dandruff compared the the present day.

Fun fact: Baby Bowser's second form is considered a Background by the game, not a Sprite. I'll let that sink in.

BREAKING NEWS: Brawlbrstms3 has uploaded the final boss theme for New Super Mario Bros. U, and there's no background sound!

On the last entry on the best list, what is the music that plays in the background? I’ve been trying to find it for forever lol 19:32

I thought Dark Bowser and the Dark Star Core was pretty awesome. The battle incorporated the inhaling mechanic, it had awesome visuals, and the theme was AMAZING. I wish that was in the top 5 on here, but oh well.

Man, the nostalgia is real with this video. I always wondered though: could anyone please tell me the music used in the intro? It's so cool.

To be truthful I enjoyed the final battle in Galaxy 2, yes it was simple, and I won without taking a hit in the final stage, but at the same time that was because I was going frantic, I thought it was one of those fights that if he reaches you you are toast, fighting with that perspective may jave helped me enjoy it more, but even after hearing the complaints I still found it fun, much more so than the final battle of Partners in Time

My favorite Bowser boss battle was the final boss battle in Bowser's Inside Story. The music and the atmosphere was so intense and I'm so glad that the game doesn't save after the battle which allows you to play it over and over again.

I can see why people would call Capcom lazy for reusing the Orochi battle in Okami, then reusing him AGAIN along with every other major boss once you reach the Ark of Yamato. However, I gotta say, considering how freaking EPIC all of the bosses are, I really like the idea of reliving them without having to play through the entire game!

This is the first video I've seen by you, and it's so good that I Ground Pounded the Subscribe Button

what about dreamy bowser? that was one of the best

Very nice list! I completely forgot about Yoshi's Topsy Turvy though...Probably for the best. Dumb question though, why do people use the "smooth pixels" option in emulators? I like having chunky pixels to look at. :

No Bowser's Inside Story? Eh. I thought it was god tier, especially for a final boss.

fun fact: if you use gameshark/action replay to make yourself win the bowser battle, depending if you use a emulator or n64 either 2 things will happen:emulator:the game will just show a space-like background and the game will softlock1964 emulator only: there is a rare chance of the the game resetting as if you beat it.n64: can do the standard emulator one but not 1964, also has its own unique oneVERY RARE: the game will show unused defeat lines by bowser after the fight and the game will continue as normal. he will still be the final boss

BOWSER'S ARMS: the spinniest arm in the galaxy! (hey, X-nauts)

Mannn I watched this back in 2014 and it was hilarious and one of my favorite YT videos. Seeing it nowadays always will make me laugh and it’s nostalgic asf!

I died on the super mario sunshine fight because it glitches twice

6:58 "OF DOOM" lol so funny keep it up Adam.

I WANT A BAD DUB HOT TUB !!!!!!

Holy shit the nostalgia watching this, this came out when I was 9, half my life ago. Yikes.

21:15 Soper Mario 3D land?.

First video of yours that I've seen and all I gotta say is... Keep up the great work :D

This was fun to watch as per usual, but I do have a nitpick. I think it's better to have the 5 best followed by the 5 worst instead of alternating between best and worst. The change from positivity to negativity is a little jarring to be honest. That's just me though, this was still a great video ^_^

I wonder what would happen if Bowser for a fire flower.. Would he start breathing Napalm, or have some sort of fire upgrade?? Or would he just be able to shoot fireballs from his hands instead of just his mouth?? I wanna see him get a Fire Flower to be sure

YOU PRESSED THE WRONG BUTTON!

I like how QG’s voice is at the same pitch as the music playing in the #1 worst Bowser fight

What is the music at 19:04 ?

"The best, and only, RPG on the 64" Pokemon stadium 1 and 2: Am I a joke to you?

I think Bowser from Paper Mario Sticker Star fits in the worst list. It's the same as every other boss in that game. Go into the fight, pray you have the right stickers, use them.

Excellent list as always , QG! My personal favorite will always be the one from Paper Mario. My favorite mario game and one of my earliest gaming experiences, I always look forward to that epic finale.

I actually disagree with you on Partners in Time. I actually enjoyed that final boss. It was at least creative and unique than other bosses in the series. I think they did a good job on it. It's a one timer thing and I love it when games does that sort of stuff. But I'm also glad you didn't put Super Mario 64 final boss on here. I honestly think it's overrated.

7:02 That is the face that says, Oh shit!

I personally loved the battle with Bowser and Dry Bowser in New Super Mario Brothers 2. Just my opinion.

Somehow this is still the most popular video made by QG after all these years.

Bowser looks cute in Super Mario 64 !!!

Aw man. I was hoping you'd do a "Top ten Clowns, Psychoes and Goofs" seeing as how it was April Fools Day, but this is nice. And Here's hoping there's a new villain for Mario Party 10. Worst: 5:Think of Dark Star Bowser except purple. 4: I'm glad I didn't get this game. 3: Boss battle, easy. Getting there... not so much. I'm glad I only beat this game once. 2: Yet another go through heck only for a lame final boss. things. 1: Not once, but twice. Worst ever. Best: 5. I remember. 4. Not the former Played have I, but the latter, holy cow. 3. I remember this fight too. Use Watt. 2. When I went through this, I had nightmares. True story. 1. If that was good, imagine Cy-bowser.

-To those who clicked the dislike button, "You pressed the wrong button!"

If you ask me, the best Bowser battle ever is the final fight against Giga Bowser in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He was terrifying, enormous, unexpected, tough as nails, and was pretty much just the ultimate test of the player's skill.

"Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a subpar sequel" I'm sorry, what? Did we even play the same game? Are you speaking from an alternate universe?

...I think I just lost brain cells reading the comments section. If you don't agree with QG's opinion, then MAKE YOUR OWN LIST AND DON'T BE A JERK ABOUT IT!!! Geez, how many times do I have to say that on vids like this...? -_-

Vileness blunder 8 Digging your own grave. (Final boss of Super Mario Bros 3) Vileness blunder 128 Not guarding your weakness (Super Mario Sunshine Final boss weakness) Vileness blunder 256 Doing the exact same thing and expecting different results (in Super Mario Galaxy 2 Bowser's plot is the same as in Galaxy 1)

NSMB2 is a fricking remake of NSMBW for the 3DS, of course the final boss battle is inspired by it.

My personal favorite is the one in Galaxy 1. One v. One showdowns between archenemies is exactly what I love. And as an added bonus, Mario just uses his fists!...and the molten core of a planetoid. Also, I like the one in Bowser's Inside Story since it's not often you see both of the Mario Bros. fight Bowser(unless of course it's one of the Multiplayer games).

hoot? personally i think the first boss fights with bowser are bad (first game)

I've watched qg's videos for a year and this video was the one that started it all for me

Partners in time was not the weakest game mate, the music was good, and so was the animtion, a big improvement from Super Star Saga's Bowsers inside story only had one good song, the final battle, Partners in time is amazing, don't talk trash about it

THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!! THE CAKE IS A FREAKING LIE!!!!!!

Will never forget that Yoshi Island boss fight. THE most memorable boss fight from my childhood, of any game, not just Mario. In fact, I'm going to jump on Snes9x and complete the whole game, just so I can do that boss fight again.

Omg i cant believe you chose that fight as number 1... IT FUCKIN SUCKS its so damn easy and just isnt that epic. I hated New Super Mario Bros U in almost every aspect honestly. New Super Mario Bros Wii did everything so much better. I could go on for a long time explaining in detail but the point is that the game and its final boss battle, fuckin suck.

i love your commentary... very well put together

Mario and luigi partners in time is probably my most favourite mario game. I loved every second of it. It had such a dark story of an alien invasion but it was awesome. I played the hell out of the game and managed to beat it when i was 9 years old. Loved that game. Im going to play it again on a DS emulator just to bring back a few glorious memories

Though you have got to admit that the final phase in galaxy 2 was pretty epic looking.

I agree with you on the Super Mario Galaxy Final Boss fight. I remember being disappointed seeing him use that same technique he used in the previous levels then getting really excited when seeing their was a second part and of course being disappointed by how easy that part was too.

When you talked about the bad levels in SMS, i was surprised you didn't bring up the chucksters

Really appreciated that rank up magic joke ;) -Nick

Best 3. NSMB U 2. Super Mario 64 1. Yoshi's Island Worst 3. Yoshi Topsy Turvy 2. NSMB 2 1. Super Mario Galaxy 2

Oh man, did I just see US Squadron in your intro? fuck yeah!!!

Great playlist! I personally would have mentioned Giga Bowser's first appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee, that was simply awesome. But it's not exactly canon to the Mario series ;)

Always like fights and games like these When they show that the villain is smart but yes there’s some repetition to their attacks, but overall The way to damage them has to change.

When I was a kid, I was so dumb that couldn't realize that you had to throw Bowser his Mecha koopas back, I was stuck for weeks until I had the luck of reading how to beat the game in a videogame magazine, and Yoshi Island's final fight..... gave me the chills as a kid, and even today, ITS SO SCARY WHEN HE'S NEAR! good top

I literally just realized that your number transition music is the fight transition music from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure arcade game.

I hurt the back of my throat from trying to conceal my laughter when QG put the Mario hat on.

That was great! Honestly this makes me want to play some of the new Mario games again now. (There have been so many I haven't had time to keep up!) Quick question though, is there a list for that whole villainous blunder thing that keeps popping up in your vids? I'd like to see it.

I like that the song "I turn the other WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" has the [Y] spread across the screen xD

9:39 - So, about the Super Mario Sunshine fight. Specifically the cutscene that plays BEFORE IT. I actually got in touch with Scott Burns - the voice of Bowser in Sunshine and the Koopa King's recurring voice from 2002 to 2009 - on March 31st last year. Though it was moreso to ask him to something related to who he voiced in Mario Sports Mix, Ninja (his last role before voicing the TV Reporter in Scars Above 12 years later). Basically, I asked him if Culex's defeat sealed off the gateway to the Super Mario universe from the Final Fantasy universe, how did Ninja, Shirma and Chroma get into the Mario universe regardless (twice for that matter)? He couldn't answer my question, although he wished he could, but he *_DID_* provide some _very_ interesting information on his time with Nintendo. To quote: "When I provided voices for Nintendo the character lines were never laid out in story form. It was always just a page filled with individual lines or noises to read and perform." Basically, what this meant for Mario Sunshine's development is that Nintendo just told Makoto Wada to go nuts with the entire script. So if anyone's to thank for the Bad Dub Hot Tub, thank Makoto Wada.

I knew the Sunshine boss battle was going to appear. I mean, you fight Bowser, in a hot tub filled with slime..........

The only upside I see to your choice for worst bowser battle was that he looked VERY menacing he he tries to swipe at Mario. With him being covered by shadow and his eyes glowing. It's a nice aesthetic move.

9:13 - 9:17 LOL WTF! You really know ur jokes! & there HILARIOUS!

With this countdown based on Bowser, I kinda expected Fawful's Minion to show up somewhere... Oh well, nice countdown anyways.
