Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Boss 5 - Bowser & Antasma

[@nintenbetas]

Is good to know that Bowser still keeps some of his skills from Bowser Inside Story. Makes the fight more interesting.

[@fredddbot1719]

Indeed.

[@cbfranco3307]

Meh,the mario and luigi games kind of lowballed Bowser.

[@nintenbetas]

@@cbfranco3307 Maybe. but Paper Mario does it more.

[@cbfranco3307]

@@nintenbetas yeah true,but paper Bowser and Bowser are kinda two different people.

[@nintenbetas]

@@cbfranco3307 Yeah. One is the King of Guys that speaks to Giant Posters and the other one is the King that ate a Giga Carrot just to find a Bullet BIll. XD

[@amyvitality66]

Bowser logic: Don't let someone kidnap Peach until I get back.

[@astrotheunhingedguy]

lmaooo

[@wafflemanofficial3130]

This should actually be the final boss. The antagonists teaming up. Both Bowser and Mario have a "dreamy" partner. It's really suitable for a final battle.

[@angrydiddykong262]

Yeah, but if the final boss went like this then there would have been no proper build up if they just decided to work together after that one cutscene. Plus, Bowser betraying antasma was to show character development.

[@OneWhoKnowsThings6009]

@@angrydiddykong262 I disagree when Antasma was the only villain we know who never sought to back stab bowser

[@quack-tastictictac1630]

Yablanitsa Official Technically It is the final boss. It's the final boss of the dream world.

[@random_jae5886]

Bailey Hunt no, that honour belongs to Final Antasma

[@quack-tastictictac1630]

Random _Jae That's what I meant yes.

[@rayyt5566]

6:22 One thing they never explicitly tell you is that for some reason the more you move left and right, the slower Mario gets. Eventually Bowser will catch up to Mario. This only happens in this fight, but not in subsequent Boss Battles...

[@achievedchair17]

Ray's Channel thank you! I’ve just been dyeing to that one attack on hard mode. (I forgot how it works)

[@graysongdl]

Was just replaying this game, and I was wondering why this stupid attack seemed impossible! Thank you!

[@rayyt5566]

@@graysongdl my pleasure. I wonder if this is a developer oversight, or that Mario is slower in this battle only because it’s his first time running away from an enemy in the Dream World?

That’s such a stupid mechanic

[@jacariwatsonallard8603]

No, I'm here because I like the series and wish I could've played the other games

[@JustAndre92]

Fun fact: The "SCREEEONK!" at 1:12 is a _Godzilla_ reference (that's Toho Co., Ltd.'s official onomatopoeia for the sound he makes, as depicted in various non-film media), thus foreshadowing the Giant Battles with Bowser to come later on. AlphaDream are fucking geniuses, is what I'm getting at.

[@astrotheunhingedguy]

i love how this was one of those battles where you still lose regardless of you winning the fight

[@josecapitanmunoz785]

"batface" I see what you did there, bowser...

[@anscrailfanner6812]

this boss battle is one of my favorites in dream team. Idk why, it just is.

[@ratman8441]

Jesse Guillory It's because it shows how badly Antasma wanted a partner and immediately trusts bowser which lead to his betrayal.

[@fnafmaster4092]

Cuz of how bowser looks

[@KirbyZilla]

Cause combanding antastma and bowser ( makes you feel the power

[@alex24017]

Mario and Dreamy Luigi > Bowser and Antasma

[@mlpfan1993]

I mostly like it cause of Antasma's bat clones swarming around Bowser and the way he attacks after you damage Bowser

[@SodiumNuke]

The 22 dislikes are the Luigis who didn’t get onto the luiginary ball

[@TheNonameHousehold]

I like how Bowser acknowledges that when Peach isn't safe in her custom better than her own room at her castle room at his castle... she's safer with Mario, after all she often gets kidnapped in her own place! 🤣🤣🤣

[@rogue1248]

The Bowser model here honestly looks better than the Superstar Saga and BiS remakes.

[@JadeiteMcSwag]

right

[@wilbert5031]

Its not a model but i see your point

[@mariobroultimate1808]

Really? I honestly think it looks bad. In battle it looks okay, but in the overworld it looks horrible.

Reminds me of PiT when it took me over 90 minutes to beat Sunnycide because I refused to use special moves or actually perfecting my moves. But I do like when Mario & Luigi reach that boss that makes clear you arent in the tutorial anymore.

[@renren2946]

It would've been cool to have the boss fight happen a 2 other times with Antasma's second form and final form

No, it establishes the villain’s presence in the story. A lot of JRPGs do this, and I believe it is important.

Watching this makes it seem like the boss will take forever to beat but I learned it's much faster to just jump on bowser it takes way less time to beat him also if there's an antasma bat right in front of bowser jump on it and all the luiginiods will land on bowser landing twice more damage than the luiginary ball would alone
