The HARDEST Boss Battle In Every Mario Game EVER! [55 Games!]

[@cutestcreeper569]

I love how the note in the Origami King section tells you to not break Scissors' cover, while Scissors is quite literally out of his cover.

[@JGr2000]

Bowser X is easily the hardest boss in Bowser’s Inside Story

[@ndec1922]

I never ended up being able to beat him as a kid

[@I_love_MarioBros]

No cap

[@andre4851]

What about the Train Boss fight?

[@JGr2000]

@@andre4851 yeah that’s hard but I think Bowser X is harder

[@SomebodyOnYouTube5097]

22:58 I mentioned this last time, and I'll say it again really quickly, this boss is worse if you're playing by yourself with one CPU, or one other person because King Bob-omb will always THROW AWAY one of the bob-ombs, and which one he throws is always RANDOM. Also, during phase 2, if it's a bomb you picked that he throws away, he instead throws it at you, making you lose the same number of points you would've gotten from throwing it. This especially sucks in Solo mode.

[@JadeJohnsonIndustries]

Jungle Hijinx DK was the best, easiest, and most-fun boss in MVDK2! I just looked only at the top-screen, and muscle-memorised the controls to be able to use the bottom one without needing to look at it at all! Man, that game was fun!

[@zachgriffiths732]

I feel like the hardest boss in Luigi's Mansion is Sir Weston if you are trying to get gold frame on normal mansion. It is literally impossible without glitches

[@villiam2989]

[@mariofire3940]

Sir Weston wasn’t really that hard for me

[@watergirl929]

@@mariofire3940 me either if you’re fast enough you can exactly unfreeze him before he shoots off his first ice attack. And then since the ice breaks instantly anytime after the first one you can avoid his attacks entirely. All you have to do is be careful of the ice sickles. I get gold on him all the time

[@PhilipGamez]

I remember really struggling with the Super Princess Peach Wiggler as a kid, I got stuck on the part where he fills the room with smoke and I couldn't remove it (mainly because I was using the flight Joy instead of the Cyclone move), I was stuck on this boss for weeks until a friend at school told me how to beat it, eventually I got the gist and it was very satisfying when I finally unlocked Wavy Beach (a World I couldn't wait to reach).

[@carlyskolnik296]

Omg I felt the same way especially when I got to wavy beach I was so excited to unlock it but I remember when I was little I struggled with the rooms filled with smoke but now I can do it

[@danielmoncrief4997]

Kamek Kerfuffle on Yoshi's Crafted World can be hard. You have to fight 4 different versions of Kamek. The first three are previous bosses, such as: Tin-Can Conkdor, Gator Train, and Baby Bowser's robot. They're a little harder than the originals. There are falling platforms and you have to keep moving and jumping while avoiding different attacks. That's pretty hard. On the 4th version, you use Go-go Yoshi to punch cars and plains so they'll fall on Kamek's head. You have to punch all of them. Then once they all hit Kamek, he starts bouncing at you and you have to time his bounces just right to hit him when he lands right in front of you. If you're doing the boss challenges, that's even harder.

[@matthewweinberg633]

13:07 Ah yes, truly the hardest, grandest boss battle in gaming history: S. Also, considering your commentary on the Giant Depleter, I take it you would NOT like to hear about how I encountered it at the end of my very first Tower climb? Whoops, too late. Good luck when you reach him.

Paper Mario Origami King, I made the scissors fight really hard on my first attempt as I accidentally didn't know that breaking their guard would make them use the one shot move, stressful battle but I somehow was able to beat it on my first attempt

[@paperpenguinmods3571]

[@MrAuthor3DS]

Personally, I'd say Ice Vellumental was more of a pain to fight - especially in the rematch simulator. I don't think I could've managed it without taking screenshots of the Ice Maze before it was spun around.

[@I_love_MarioBros]

I BEATED HIM FIRST TRY TOO BY EXTREME LUCK CUS I WAS SWEATING but yeah it is the Hardest Boss fight

[@Vaati35]

U can cheese all histocrats by ground pound jumping from the floor next to them up onto there heads, then jumping from one of there heads to the others to deal damage to both. Can be hard to pull of though.

[@GirlGamerAnna]

22:12 it’s because we can’t mash fast enough to escape the suction and when we can, we mistime the button to grab the bomb seed. And then sometimes I accidentally throw the seed too early!

Honorable mention , the stingray boss in Mario sunshine that was a BEAST for me when I was a kid 😭

[@spencerbowden2979]

The stingray also was glitched. His goop he left behind would electrocute you with a collision glitch if it was touching a body of water you needed to use to refill. The only body of water unaffected by this was the ocean. So you had to make sure to keep the inland water sources clean or your hurt yourself trying to refill.

[@ramiel555]

My first time through TTYD I had the hardest time with Smorg. It's especially dastardly because you're stuck on a train and can't get off to go level up or gather money if you feel like you need either one.

[@miraabramson1728]

I would say macho gruba because you don't have powerlift yet

[@supermario6387]

The hardest NSMBU fight is definitely the big Sumo Bro, except that’s when I was more young and didn’t know you could hit him again to reset his get up timer, but for 3D World the hardest is definitely the final fight against motley boss blob

[@micahsimpson9091]

Personally, Giant Depleter didn't give me so much trouble. Maybe because I found a stunlock combo that I used on it.

[@G_Knee-S]

I just used Luigi to cheese it, but out of curiosity; how'd you stunlock it? edit: on second thought, silly question. Just use items to reset cooldown and spam that skill that seals the enemies for x turns at the end of each turn.

[@lego_master.616]

i think the hardest is phantom from mario + rabbids kingdom battle because on my first time doing him the game made mario glitch to the beginning only as mario and the second is meowser in 3D world i hated his second face so much i would rage quit

[@MageOfDarkness69]

20:07 the absolute most dangerous boss in any mario game

[@goldenyoshistar1]

16:34 I fought Antasma X at Level 43 on Hard Mode [Required Level 50 to beat it, and it took me nearly 2 hours to beat it, and I've not beaten the battle medley so I am dreading fighting Antasma X a second time.

[@BraydinBlackwell]

6:25 For me, eely-mouth was one of those bosses that I was afraid of at first, but then not afraid at all. To be honest, i just used the hover nozzle to clean his teeth. I had no idea that you needed to use the other nozzle. 😅

[@BraydinBlackwell]

Oh, and also i don't know if this will upset anyone or not, i don't mean to... But... For the fight with Clem in Luigi's mansion 3, i also thought that fight was tedious. Until i realized that you could have gooigi stay on the rim, while you fight Clem in the water. I don't remember clearly, but i think Clem will try to melt gooigi if you use this strategy. But unless you don't keep him busy, i don't see any problems.

[@GeladoDias1985]

Thats hilarious, I have a very similar story where as a child my sister won me the mushroom bingo for my first ever win of the shadow queen fight. Bingo ftw

[@slashermaster28]

6:26- Really? I always just use the hover nozzle the whole time. Granted, yes, it makes the battle take longer, but it also prevents you from falling into his gullet.

[@dylansuxx]

3:43 that battle was so scary to me as a kid 😭 Just seeing bowser looking like that. 😭

[@watergirl929]

Boolssus is the sole reason why I have never attempted to try an all gold frame run. I get angry enough just trying to beat the boss. I’ve gotten silver before but no way no how I ever getting gold.

[@comrade8]

i think a lot of people are forgetting the boss in paperjam. king bob omb. you have limited time and you need to get a card that gives you extra time. very luck based. it took me a few days to get used to the fight and beat the game

[@UltimateDragonX99999]

I once fought and defeated Antasma X on Hard mode along with all X bosses and giant X bosses from the battle ring on hard mode as well. Also antasma X on hard mode is brutal and reason on how beat antasma X hard mode was thanks to the duplex crown. 16:33

[@Coolkid7-f1d]

29:59 Clem is hard, but King boo in this same game Is crazy hard. I’m surprised his fight isn’t on this list. Why? Because of phase 3. Phase 3 Has all 3 king boos throwing attacks at you, the scariest easily is the one where king boo slams his tongue at you in phase 3 because you have to juke out 3 king boos! And did I mention your on a 3 minute timer?!? You can only afford to make few mistakes!

Shrewd Possessor was the hardest for me in the Luigi's Mansion games, Antasma X for the Mario and Luigi series and Dry Bowser from New Super Mario series. Shrewd Possessor screwed me over countless times when my 3DS was operational!

[@SeaOfPixels]

King Boo in Mario Kart DS though. Also for Mario VS Donkey Kong Miniland Mayhem it's definitely Final DK when going for the trophy. Doing that final boss where you cannot get damaged or miss at all is super difficult.

I find it interesting Paper Mario and New Super Mario Bros. are referred to as Paper Mario 64 and New Super Mario Bros. DS, respectively, likely to tell the original games apart from the other games. Two of NSMB's sequels (Wii and U) _did_ use the system's name in the title which was common for games on Nintendo systems to use (Super, 64, Advance, DS, 3D, and U) although NSMB2 on 3DS and NSMBU Deluxe on Switch were exceptions.

[@whitethunder9064]

I don't know what version of Luigi's Mansion you were playing, because in both the GameCube and 3Ds version, you do NOT have to leave Slim Bankshot's room to get the billiards to return. You just wait for him to circle the table. Honestly, there are WAY tougher ghosts than SLim.

Hear me out... Electronic Entertainment Expo 2023 is cancelled. Yeah, but not only event-cancellation. This time, it's over. ESA (on behalf of those behind E3) and Reedpop has confirmed it. The main reason is Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo ditched E3 for this year. That proves the last two "deaths" were only event-based. This one is most likely complete, and it's practically over. E3 2021 might as well be posthumously cancelled. Unless ESA presses the reset button over whatever the Big 3 did, E3 will be no more. Yep, I can easily figure out the reason why. And as of the time I originally written this announcement, I just found out. Since the 2022 cancellation coincides with the last April's Fools, I make sure to check it out by myself to make sure what's confirmed, and no more point for guessing because we just found out.

I think in Super Mario Galaxy 2 a daredevil run against Squizzard in Slipsand Galaxy is still harder than Bowser Jr.'s Boomsday Machine. You just have to play nearly perfectly to avoid being hit and defeat this boss.

[@darkhunter5293]

Culex is called a Superboss for a reason.

[@jakkurinjactenderjakala4129]

[@gamingtheologian8515]

There's an easy way to beat Wart. You don't have to throw them in his mouth. You just have to hit him when his mouth is open. Wait on the ground beneath him and just jump up slightly and hit him when he opens his mouth. It's easy that way. After that then, I would say Fryguy becomes the hardest boss.
