Bowser Battle (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) - GaMetal Remix

[@makesomething4093]

It’s crazy how much the Remake version ended up sounding more like this than the original… Prophetic.

"What's a finale without a bowser theme song? A CRUDDY FINALE THATS WHAT! Now stand still and listen to this sick beat!" ~King of guys who talk to posters, the mighty koopa koot Bowser

[@LetsPlaySagaraStyle]

"Gra har har har! What's a GaMetal musical year without a Bowser appearance? A cruddy year that's what"! Awesome rendition to this underrated battle song!

[@jseo0348]

Whats a song without a bowser to end it a CRUMMY ONE!

[@SteelCrustacean]

Why was this boss battle harder than almost any other in the entire game? As King of Guys Who Talk To Posters, _he was prepared,_ while Mario had just fought an already tough boss, having little reserves left. The first time I beat this boss, I only won because of a Jelly Ultra in the bag.

[@shadowpheonix1751]

It’s actually pretty genius when you think about it. Most bosses in TTYD are really good because of how they were crafted to act like mini puzzles. Take Magnus Von Grapple’s rocket arms, Cortez’s 3 phases or Grodus’s shield for example. But the fight against Bowser is actually pretty standard in comparison. It’s a pretty boring boss fight on its own. But because Mario had just fought Grodus, the fight becomes a lot more interesting because your resources have been partly exhausted, which keeps the fight interesting despite its simplicity. Yet another reason why Thousand Year Door is an excellent game.

[@SteelCrustacean]

@@shadowpheonix1751 very true. To take another game from the series, I liked Color Splash a lot, but the "puzzles" in question were kind of standard, save for four boss fights: Ludwig, Roy, Kamek, and Black Paint Bowser. Ludwig had the tail section at the start, although there was the required balloon bit later, which made it slightly lose it's charm. The Roy battle was interesting in its gimmick of paint and card requirements, although it relied on the washer again at the end. Kamek didn't require any cards, which was nice, and he also used every single spell on hand, which made the battle doubly interesting, if tedious. Black Paint Bowser has you defending against him in a sort of Partners in Time Final Boss-esque battle, if I recall correctly, and that made it stand out the most to me, in terms of Paper Mario final bosses I've fought. Note that I haven't fought the final boss of either the original, or TOK, though. I'm merely using this as an opportunity to say that Paper Mario, as a whole, does their bosses very well, in terms of puzzles.

[@extyr]

The first and only time I fought that boss, I almost threw my controller at the wall when I saw it was another full fight without healing as I had barely managed to beat Grodus. Then, on my first turn, I managed to get a shine on the roulette bingo, healing me fully. I thought this was scripted... until I saw this comment section. That part of the game must really suck if you're not as lucky as I was...

[@EqualityEarth]

I’m pretty sure the reason I won was Bc i made sure I would get a level-up fill-up after Grodus @extyr that being scripted would actually be cool 😎

[@therealblackl1ster110]

“King of Guys who Talk to Posters”. I forgot about that. 😂😂😂

[@JonnyAtma]

(Spoiler Comment) . . . . . Just like in Paper Mario: TTYD... Bowser is NOT the actual finale of Side-Quests 3. The TRUE final song of Side-Quests 3 will be out tomorrow!

Fs in the chat for the dudes who show up to fight Groudus below 80 exp, and thus are still damaged and hurt when Bowser decides to come wreck their stuff.

[@Vgamer311]

In a weird way I sort of like when that happens. It feels more epic and cinematic, and seems to me like how the sequence is supposed to play out

[@Volcanic_Rave]

Grodus really isn't that hard a fight though so it's not that bad

[@DaDMonDCB]

I have no problem with it myself, and lucking out and being full health for Bowser is fun, but I know some kids got gaught by it. My 6 year old nephew is trying the games, and I already know it's going to blow his mind when Bowser shows up out of nowhere when he's struggling with the basic game. I can't wait for it. XD

[@crumpscrumbs]

@@DaDMonDCB Dude, please message me back and tell me how that goes when he gets to this part XD

[@nickk3077]

This was the best Bowser fight in the whole series, let's be honest here.

[@KingdomHeartsBrawler]

I'll have to respectfully disagree. Nothing tops the final fight with Bowser in the original N64 Paper Mario.

[@shadowpheonix1751]

@@KingdomHeartsBrawler they’re both really close in my eyes. The Bowser fight in TTYD was a bit more interesting, but the Bowser fight in 64 is a lot more impactful.

[@neonoah3353]

I mean, if you count dark star(bowser) in bowsers inside story, them nah, ttyd isnt the best.

[@lovelovemiraclesunsetgirl]

if you mean in paper mario i think that's fair and i might agree ! though 64's bowser fight is pretty fantastic atmosphere-wise and definitely a serious contender for the best final bowser fight ever methink
