STRATEGY (5)

Master Bowser's final boss battle in Super Mario Party DS. Learn strategies for each of his forms: Golden Block, Box, and Snake, to finally complete story mode.

This section details the strategy for defeating Bowser in the final boss battle of Super Mario Party DS. The battle involves kicking a golden block 5 times to deplete Bowser's 3 lives.

Bowser's First Form: Bowser fires 4 fireballs in different directions, which are easy to avoid. He then spins. When he stops, kick the golden weak spot. This depletes one life.

Bowser's Second Form (Box): Bowser transforms into a box that moves one step at a time, firing 4 fireballs. You must kick his weak spot while he is moving. Kick a couple times, move to avoid fireballs, and repeat until 5 kicks are landed.

Bowser's Third Form (Snake): Bowser becomes a snake. You cannot kick his weak spot (the head) when he is moving around the arena border. Stay in the middle and dodge targeting fireballs. When the head moves to the center, the steam dissipates, allowing you to kick the weak spot. He will fire 3 fireballs and push you back; time your movements. Repeat until 5 kicks are landed.

Upon defeating Bowser, you will complete the story mode of Mario Party DS. You can then play unlocked modes, replay story mode with other characters for their badges, and collect MP Points and collectibles.
