I love how MotI's version has Bowser saying all these grandiose lines "Now I step down to see if a shadow can bleed" and Juno's just has him say really immature and petty insults. Both work really well, leaning into different sides of his character. He can be both silly, but also pretty intimidating.

7:10 I love how Bowser specifically tells Dark Bowser (and I guess Dark Star and Fawful by extension) that his “name is not among those who could best his Koopa might”. He acknowledges that there are people in the world that can challenge and even beat him *cough* Mario *cough* But he’s also making very sure to tell this shadowy little wannabe of a villain is NOT among those who come even close to defeating him.

I love the back and forth between Bowser and Dark Bowser like it's a slugfest. DB has RPG final boss speeches down to an art, and Bowser basically drew a cartoonishly large moustache on the Mona Lisa out of ego. Mario's and Luigi's parts were good but that last key change from Bowser really crowned him the true champ of this Grand Finale.

[@wrigthtalekenavi2066]

because unlike before, where he is the big bad final boss, he is THE PROTOGANIST of his own game, and this is HIS GREATEST MOMENT. the final boss is all him, this is the monster that born from Darkstar stealing his DNA, and Pride of the KOOPA KING does not allow any imposters or usurpers, which Dark Bowser tried both. this is HIS GRAND FINALE, and he will beat you down, and sing on your grave while doing it.

Not sure if Juno will notice this... But even with the remaster, both Juno and MOTI's covers of The Grand Finale are both very amazing. Both with strengths and weaknesses. Both with amazing voice acting and amazing artwork. Both well written to the very core. Finally, both has Bowser being badass in this final showdown. In conclusion, I respect both covers and they both deserve recognition.

[@oreganoking193]

I absolutely love the use of repeating lyrics in this. When the Dark Star says "Who are you" it's doing a classical evil villain monologue. Who are these puny mortals, to get in the way of an arcane force that's been around for centuries? When Bowser says "Who are you" he's spitting in the face of some copycat schmuck who's touting their own ego. He's the Koopa King, and no one's going to stand in his way, dark god or not. And when the Mario Bros say "Who are you", they're saying that Fawful and the Dark Star have NO RIGHT to destroy the Kingdom's peace. It's great lyric writing. Honestly, this song is just fantastic, a great tribute to this channel's 5 years.

[@salvadorhernandeztwitchpro1332]

Don't forget the "Who are you" during the key change. It's Bowser saying "Who are you to believe yourself that you had a ghost of a chance to beat yours truly?" He's the Koopa King and won't let some schmucking copycat take his name and face and get away with it. One single KO punch was enough to make his point clear. Never mess with the King of the Koopas.

I said it once, I'll say it again. This is the one moment in the eyes of the Mushroom Kingdom where Bowser is the true hero. Disregard his intentions. Forget why he's there. A Toad is floating up at the tip of the arena looking down at the beast that caused the windstorm, and what does he see fighting this thing to the end? Bowser, the Koopa King. NOT Mario and Luigi.

I like to headcanon that _all_ three versions "happened" to Bowser (both Juno's and MOTI's covers), and the Spamton fight was in between, so Bowser's just got some serious pent-up rage after the Spamton fight, and seeing Fawful "back for round three" just made him _Ascend to the Done Tiers_ and be like "no, you're not happening a THIRD time, go away", and that's why he sounds so more energetic in this remastering.

THAT KEY-CHANGE HOLY SHIT! As a HUGE enthusiast of this theme this was PURE SEROTONIN! The Koopa King never fails to impress!

[@darkg_dg]

It is far better than the original I'd say, I really like Dark Bowser's lines as they reflect the Dark Star's twist on Bowser's personality, Bowser's pride. The voice and word choice make all the difference already. The voice is much more ethereal, sounding more elegant and flowing - it has enough of an alien touch but enough Bowser-characteristic to really sound what I imagine Dark Bowser to sound like! Perfect RPG Boss vibes here. While Bowser's Lyrics are extremely well made for the most part, I do find though that some of Bowser's lines grow stale by the second verse. The lines are certainly not bad, for my personal taste some are simply a bit too surface level in some regards - some are not clever (from Bowser's perspective) and the repetition kills them. That is at least how i feel about them Generally, I think that would have been more interesting if the two would have some more direct word exchanges, they are basically just monologuing in the presence of each other but at least in between the verses there was an attempt at it, a humorous one at that. In the end, it is a really really good piece of art - The personalities are well portrayed, it is really solid writing as always, the artwork is incredible, and the greatest addition; THE KEY CHANGE. WOW, that surprised me, blew my mind, and was brilliantly executed! The writing here is by far the best with lines like “Your name is not among those who could best my Koopa might”, even better than Dark Bowser's Lyrics, it is epic, tense, personal and in your face! Absolute perfection!

While that’s *never* stopped me from having that as a headcanon it really would have cemented that they were fighting together. Even if Bowser didn’t know it he was saving the world alongside the Mario Bros… as a protagonist. The name “Bowser’s Inside Story” comes from how he was the protagonist of this game *independently* from the plumbers and that’s why things like this were the closest he got to fighting alongside them. In other RPGs where he’s “a protagonist” he’s rarely less of a sidekick than Luigi but here he never once was second fiddle to *anybody.* Because he’s the Koopa King and *nobody* can replicate his glory!

I love the Key Change near to end with the Higher Pitch to sound more triumphant it is just *Chef's Kiss*

[@MDGOLD]

*KEY CHANGE!* _Insert Genocide try hard mode undertale player playing_ No but literally that Goes very hard It has to be my favorite part of the video

[@goldenbunny7743]

I love how Bowser literally shouts KEY CHANGE, and then THERE IS AN ACTUAL KEY CHANGE!!! Bowser controls the music!!!

[@AzureStriker-om2jl]

Absolutely incredible remaster of an already amazing cover. Here's to another amazing year of music, Juno!

[@Mr_Edward_Nigma]

6:34 I absolutely love that key change, if anything I wish to have the whole song be like that.

[@AntforceYT]

I remember back in January 2020 when I saw The Grand Finale with Lyrics and introduced me to this amazing channel! The original was so good and this remaster is even better! Thanks for sharing your talent to us all Juno!!!

[@Zaneoo]

Seeing Juno improve in song and art along with bringing ArcherOwl for more art just shows how much he's improved, well done both of you for this music piece.

[@EmilyTheManx]

Oh, my, god. One of my favorite final boss themes from one of my favorite games! You really did a fantastic job with this! 🥰🥰

[@100onyt]

I love this song the perfect finale! I still remember the other one you made a long time ago.This is epic!

[@andrewanderson1512]

I remember this very well, I'm glad that this got remastered.

[@quinntessentialskill7414]

Key Change was INCREDIBLY Hype. Subscribing to this channel was one of the best decisions I've made, cheers to another year of Juno!

[@thewhitewolf6715]

Another masterpiece Juno! You took one of your greatest and made it even more awesome!!

[@GlitchythePumpkin]

I FREAKING LOVE THE NEW BITS! DARK BOWSER, THE FINAL PART, ITS AMAZING, THIS SONG IS AMAZING, JUNO IS AMAZING

[@billyyank1916]

I did not expect this video at all. For the past couple of months, I've been listening to the original lyrics video from 2020 and have been hooked on it ever since. Awesome job!

[@JohnDasilva-zh7wu]

The DXs are never disappoint

[@tomlialucina2300]

i recall the comments on the original saying the thing they liked about moti's yours didn't have was the verse by the dark star itself, so it's really cool to see you add this. i still love all the versions, this is nintendos best track and you lyricists just bring it ot a new level. yoru bowser voice is one of my favorites,and this is a great start to the new year :)

[@misterleletlg6882]

"Time to give the audience what they really came for" and hearing the old Bowser's lyrics is absolutely what audience wanted, congrats Juno

[@kennydarmawan13]

I love how far you have improved as Bowser (and the Dark Star). Every touch-ups and changes make this remaster worth the watch and wait. Keep up the great work.

[@RaelCreative]

Love to see that this series is still treasured!

[@toymariofficial217]

6:33 the key change makes the ending give me literal chills for some reason

[@JackofcardsYT]

remastered is bopping man XD Amazing work as always Juno Songs

[@trainerlsw]

So the Mario & Luigi series got revived. Excited for M&L: Brothership.

[@walugusgrudenburg3068]

This remaster is amazing!!!!! The (helpfully announced by our koopa king) key change part especially caught me by an incredibly pleasant surprise!

[@nuggetlord2187]

SHOWTIME!!! Before bowsember started i was starting to listen to in the final and i watched the stream praying for a remake and, oh boy it delivered. Also happy 5th anniversary Juno and almighty king bowser 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Yoshiabel5555_xd]

Very good remaster, Juno. I especially loved the final part :)

[@dacedave4161]

You have really outdone yourself with this masterpiece I'm always excited whenever I see one these It only makes sense to complement your work in rhyme I'll finish this off by reminding everyone that it's Bowser time

[@FanimationStudios-2007]

I've been hyped for this ever since it appeared as the Bowsember finale. This was absolutely epic. The remastered vocals, the inclusion of Dark Bowser (which the original didn't have) and Bowser's finale verse with his dark duplicate in his grasp was just breathtaking. The message of this song is true; the Koopa King (and Juno's spot on adaptation of him) will never DIE!
