Bowser (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)

Bowser is the main antagonist of almost all of the Mario franchise, appearing in almost every game in the series, Bowser usually serves as the final boss of the franchise. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, he is the main boss of World 8, is the second boss of that level and is overall the nineteenth/penultimate and twentieth/final boss of the game.

While some of his fights have been critically panned, Most of his fights have praised especially this incarnation of him for its qualities.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) The first phase of the battle is a neat call back to the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES.
 * 2) Funny intro before the second phase of the battle were Kamek literally dresses up like and disguises himself as Peach.
 * 3) The second phase is super incentive, you're facing off against a giant Bowser while somewhat being in a level.
 * 4) Amazing music.
 * 5) Fantastic atmosphere.
 * 6) The attacks that Bowser unleashes (such as fireballs) are really impressive to look at.
 * 7) The overall boss feels like a chase, and it works.
 * 8) Epic way that Bowser gets defeated.
 * 9) Beautiful ending.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) This fight kind of overstayed its welcome, as it would be replicated for the next New Super Mario Bros. games.
 * 2) The ending fails to bring up Princess Peach's birthday at the beginning of the game.
