In this game, Boss Bass swims on the surface of the water trying to leap out and eat [[Mario]] if he gets too close. It does not matter which form the player is in because Boss Bass will defeat Mario instantly in one gulp, even if he is [[Statue Mario|a statue]]. In both of the stages he appears in, the water level rises and sinks, making Mario an easy target. Throwing blocks, shells, [[hammer]]s, and [[fireball]]s at Boss Bass can defeat him, as well as tail attacks and using a [[Super Star]], but he'll eventually come back. However, in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]'', if the player has turned on [[Orange Switch|the e-reader card]] that makes enemies hit by [[fireball]]s turn into [[coin]]s, and the player successfully hits Boss Bass with a fireball and collects the coin, Boss Bass will not return for the rest of the level. | In this game, Boss Bass swims on the surface of the water trying to leap out and eat [[Mario]] if he gets too close.

In the second mode of ''[[Mario Teaches Typing]]'', Underwater World, the game repeatedly loops footage of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] or [[Princess Peach]] swimming away from either a Boss Bass or a [[Blooper]]. Their appearance is slightly different: their mohawks, fins, and tails are cyan, and they have several sharp teeth rather than a single blunt tooth. | In the second mode of ''[[Mario Teaches Typing]]'', Underwater World, the game repeatedly loops footage of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] or [[Princess Peach]] swimming away from either a Boss Bass or a [[Blooper]].
