One thing I noticed in all the new Super Mario Bros games with the Koopalings is that Lagway Von Kooppa always has really good boss fights none of them are bad while the other ones with the other Koopaling fights sometimes have bad fights depending on the game

New Super Mario Bros DS still has some of the most creative bosses of the 2D mario games Also was hoping to see SM64DS on the list! Goomboss and King Boo stood out to me as really cool new additions to the game. Chief Chilly not so much :P
I always saw Chief Chilly as the Big Bully battle "done right". Like, Big Bully is supposed to be a miniboss (or even just a straight-up boss) but there isn't much to the fight other than kicking him into the lava. The music doesn't even change to the boss theme for him. Chief Chilly is everything the Big Bully boss *should've* been, in a way
@@lilypyrope4620 Hadn't considered it like that before! It is definitely a dynamic fight now that I think about it. I also appreciate that in two separate titles, Chief Chilly is the only boss that actively tries to trick you. In SM64DS he hesitates on his final charge to mess with your timing. In Mario Kart DS, he jumps when you boost at him so you miss and fall into the water. I guess I should give him more credit 😋
@@ButteryOtter Yeah I always found that interesting. Also rather fitting (in this context) that Big Bully was the first boss in MKDS to Chief Chilly being the last
Fry Guy is easy if you collect the mushroom blocks on top and drop them down on him. You can even drop them on the top level when he swings up and keep the block available for another hit.
3:01 But I would have thought that being a tough boss would have been a GOOD thing - since it is a challenge, in a series where there aren’t too many challenges (including boss fights)! I am just saying that you could argue that the fight being a challenge could make it considered a GOOD boss!
Honestly I think boss fights are really fun sure some are bad and yet some others are good but they still feel fun especially super Mario Odyssey has the best hard mode bosses ever also I really love fighting bosses it's the greatest thing ever
I think it's safe to say that the final Bowser fights never fail to disappoint, they are decidedly good. I can't think of a "bad" final bowser fight, and aside from, like, fights that are deliberately easy (like the tutorial Bowser fight in the Mario and Luigi saga) I'm hard-pressed to find a genuinely bad bowser fight in general
@@maxence2594 I would consider this a case of poor execution rather than a bad fight altogether. I believe that the purpose of this fight was to test us, the player, on what we have learned over the course of the game, by having waves/phases of the fight that required certain stickers which allowed us to bypass said phase easier than without them, like using tape for the first phase to stop the enemies from respawning (though I usually just bowled them over). So I can definitely see what they were going for, they just fell short on the delivery
13:35 Oh, the memory of this boss! I remember I had always had trouble with him, until I figured out the strategy regarding how to beat him: Stay close to him. He becomes way more predictable. My gut instinct when first fighting Bouldergeist was to stay away as far as possible. However, that allows him to do whatever he wants and he becomes very unpredictable - which doesn’t happen when you go in close to him, reducing the space he has around you… Now, as far as the worst boss in Mario Galaxy, I definitely would say Kamella - because I legitimately had SOOOOOO much trouble with her fight, especially in Daredevil Mode.
While technically not a Mario game, I'd say an honorable mention to Yoshi's Island since the baby Mario is still a prominent character. Best fight is the finale with Bowser Jr, who is transformed into a Godzilla type monster that creeps forward. Just that whole part was amazing. And the worst would be the easiest one Marching Milde, it just becomes an annoying fight because it keeps spawning smaller versions of itself, not much of a challenge there and that late in the game you'd think you'd be getting tougher enemies that that.
I don't recall Rezors being easy. Perhaps if the ground in those battles were solid and you had the entire screen to dodge fireballs, but I remember always running out of ground to stand on and how difficult it was to avoid the last one's fireballs when the only thing left to stand on was the platforms the defeated ones were standing on. Granted, I'm not sure I beat Forest, Chocolate, and Valley fortresses more than once or twice each, so I really only have practice with the weakest version of that boss... and if I'm mistaken that the Rezors fights get harder, then I probably had the adrenline rush of being close to beating some of the hardest levels in the game making it seem like the difficulty had been cranked up from the Vanilla Forteress fight.
So with the octopus boss in Super mario odyssey, you don't actually have to ground pound him. I didn't even know you could ground pound him. The simple method is to hit him exclusively with water. No Mario required.
Great video, but no mention of the Mecha bowser fight in toy time galaxy from galaxy 1 or the Digga leg in Galaxy 2. Both were great fights IMO because of the similar platforming challenges before hand. What do you think?
Larry Koopa from Super Mario World was kind of disappointing. It’s such a tough castle, but the boss is just a slightly harder repeat of the First battle against Lemmy
I think for super mario galaxy 2, one of the best bosses has to the the one against the Rollodilo. This is because 1) it utilizes a very underrated power up - the rock mushroom, 2) the boss is fun to battle gameplay wise and 3) it looks very nice aesthetically. However, I have to agree that the mega hammer and boomsday machine are also extremely good fight in the game.
My personal picks for some of these games I played, not all of them New super Mario bros DS Best boss fight: Monty Tank Worst boss fights: Bowser Jr fights New super Mario bros Wii: Best boss fights: Bowser and Ludwig Von Koopa castle fight Worst boss fight: Iggy, always hated that chainchomp mechanic since it's takes away from the fight New super Mario bros U: Best boss fights: Bowser, Ludwig Von Koopa, and Iggy, finally Iggy boss without chainchomp mechanic Worst Boss fights: Boom boom fights
14:18 Wow… That is so unbalanced and broken! You would have thought that Nintendo would have had better level design - and not included the power-up in the area of the fight!
Did not realize this until the "Encore battle", which didn't make the first fight harder, per say, just more tedious since I needed to get gushers every time I tried the pound
In super mario odyssey, i think like you that the worst boss in the game is mollusque lanceur, but it's for different reasons. It's because all you really do in this fight is just zipping around the area while trying to get to the boss, who throws attacks at you that demand very little effort to dodge.
i feel like most of his reasoning for some of the bad boss fights was that they're hard. isn't that kinda the point? not hating or anything as i enjoy these videos a lot, just something i noticed.
I think your opinion on bowser's fight in super mario sunshine being good is actually pretty unpopular. In fact, some people consider that fight to be one of, if not the worst fight bowser has ever got. They complain about his lack of challenge, the idea of him being in a giant flying hot tub pretty dumb, and apparently, some people even went trough the weak spot when they were destroyed.
Unless I’m wacky the witch in Mario land 2 looks a bit like Waluigi. I know it’s a stretch, and an utter coincidence, but it’s pretty dang funny nonetheless Edit: is that colored version of the game unofficial? If so I wonder why they gave the witch a pink nose. I woulda made her green, or at least kept her skin tone consistent across the nose… maybe something to do with contrast or whatever
Eely-mouth is more annoying than hard, and I’d rather hard. I don’t think he (they?) has ever hit me. I don’t get the phantamanta hate though, he ain’t that difficult… which I guess would also put him in the category of annoying, because beating him ain’t quick. bugaboom always bugged me (pun intended, cry about it) because I sucked at timing the ground pound as a kid, and I was trying to chase him. Never revisit that one childhood boss if you want it to remain difficult, unless that one childhood boss is the fawful express from M&L:BIS because the ds (or 3DS, in many cases) mic sucked for that flame attack
Are literally all entries the final boss of each game? Edit: 99% of them are according to the list. This should've just been a worst list because to just say "the final fight against Bowser" every single time except twice is wholly uninteresting.
I believe the point of them wasn't to be a hard boss, more to be part of the plot progression, as the only times you fight them are in the "tutorial", to unlock new areas and for the first shine in Bianco Hills (which could also be considered part of the "tutorial", in a way)
No one cares about pin or first beggars
What does this mean
@@graceholbert2126it means no one likes ppl who say first or ppl who ask for a pin on their comment
Yeah
you do clearly,since you made a whole comment giving them attention kek

In Paper Mario (2001), beating a single Anti-Guy in Shy Guy Toy Box is the best, but beating 3 Anti-Guys in Bowser's Castle is the worst.
amazing game
One of things I've really appreciated about the Mario games, is that they're not meant to be super hard. They're meant to be fun.

I agree, but ignore the other response comment.
The boss you're talking about at the last bit of your comment is Iggy, not Lemmy

In super Mario 3d world, I believe that the histocrat is one of if not THE best boss fight.
From sunshine, the Manta Ray was my absolute favorite boss battle. You can just spam spray the ray and the boss is dead
@OfficialCopyCat__ What have I won??? I don't remember signing up for anything!
I use to love boss fights in nsmb series
They are fun... What's not fun is imposters pretending to be Copycat... He's fake.

Also the Rango fight in Super Mario Odyssey is SUPER EASY because you can just ground pound on top on him and beat him under a minute
I feel like he doesn’t like boom boom
