Learn how to defeat Bowser in his gnarly speed machine during the World Bowser-B boss fight in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. This guide covers all three stages.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Bowser's Speed Machine: Can be damaged by bombs, jump kicks, or cat scratches.
- Bowser: Vulnerable to bombs kicked back at him.
Phases:
- Stage 1: Bowser throws bombs. Kick them back at his car (3 hits) or directly at him (1 hit) using jump kicks or cat scratches.
- Stage 2: Bowser throws two bombs, then a fireball that creates a fire pool. He might throw a third bomb. Three hits to the car or one direct hit to Bowser progresses to the next stage.
- Stage 3: Bowser throws two fireballs, then drops bombs. Dodge his attacks, then kick the bombs back at him to finish the fight.
Strategy:
- Bomb Kicking: The primary method of attack is to kick Bowser's bombs back at him. This can be done with a standard kick or a jump kick.
- Cat Scratch: If you have the Super Bell power-up, cat scratches can also send bombs back at Bowser.
- Dodging: Pay close attention to Bowser's attack patterns. Dodge bombs, fireballs, and the resulting fire pools.
- Warp Blocks: You may need to jump through Warp Blocks during the fight.
- Post-Fight: After defeating Bowser, collect the appearing Coins, grab the + Clock, and jump into the Warp Block. Save the first Sprixie Princess trapped in a jar beside the Goal Pole.
