I love these sorts of encounters, especially in a game that’s generally as easy as Paper Mario.ĭespite that, the “kung fu master” schtick is a little tired and old at this point. The Master has as much HP as Bowser, hits like a truck, and is quite a challenge to take down. While later bosses in this category included really interesting variations on existing villains, like Bonetail in The Thousand-Year Door, and Wracktail and Shadoo in Super Paper Mario, The Master is kind of…bland.ĭon’t get me wrong, I love how this boss battle plays out. The Master began a Paper Mario tradition of optional super bosses that were tougher than the final boss. The Master is one difficult boss to take down. 8.) The Bloopers (Blooper, Electro Blooper, Super Blooper) He just lacks any sort of character and his HP recovery moves are frustrating.
He’s got a great character design and interesting attacks. Overall, the Crystal King isn’t a bad boss fight. The Crystal King is able to recover health up to three different times! Three! This is a problem we’ll get into later on the list, but if once is annoying and twice is irritating, then three times is probably infuriating to the player. I’m pretty much always against HP recovery moves, especially in RPGs like Paper Mario, where HP numbers are so low. The problem is that the Crystal King lacks any sort of personality and his boss fight can be kind of a pain. The Crystal Palace is also a really neat stage, with tons of Duplighosts and some really neat puzzles. His boss fight features smaller ice enemies that need to be defeated in order to make the fight easier, and his character design is top-notch, with an intriguing design that makes you question what exactly he is. Unlike Tutankoopa, the Crystal King actually has an interesting design. The Crystal King has a really cool design, too bad he recovers health THREE TIMES! With that out of the way, let’s get down to ranking! 14.) Kent C. There are a couple of optional bosses that are iconic enough to include. Rule #3: Exceptions can be made to Rule #1. If you all really want me to rank all (four!) of the Bowser fights in this game, just let me know in the comments.
Rule #2: Multiple encounters with the same boss will be considered the same encounter. I’m also leaving out forced story losses. Mini-bosses like the Anti Guy or *checks wiki* the “4 Fuzzies” don’t count as major boss battles. Rule #1: We’re only including the main bosses. Colorful, funny, and, oftentimes, riffs on existing pop-culture tropes or Mario staples, the Paper Mario bosses are some of the most interesting and funniest characters in a Nintendo game. One of the best parts about Paper Mario has to be the bosses. Cute characters, fantastic music, and a timeless aesthetic make the N64 classic an all-around fun time. It’s like hugs from your grandma, freshly baked cookies, your favorite snuggly blanket, and hot chocolate on a cold winter day all rolled into one.
