'''Bowser in the Sky''' is the third and final [[Bowser]] stage in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and is the last level of the games. [[Mario]] travels through platforms in the sky until he reaches a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to a final fight against Bowser to save [[Princess Peach]] and the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s in [[Peach's Castle]]. 70 [[Power Star]]s (80 in ''Super Mario 64 DS'') are required to open the [[Big Star Door]] on the third floor and reach the top of the [[endless stairs]], or else the staircase will loop. However, there is a [[List of Super Mario 64 glitches#Backwards Long Jump|glitch in the N64 version]] that can be used to get up the stairs without the required stars. | '''Bowser in the Sky''' is the third and final [[Bowser]] stage in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and is the last level of the games.

Even if the player has more than 80 Stars, if any other character enters through the Big Star Door, they will still be brought to the endless stairs. | ||

While the method of defeating Bowser is similar to the previous fights, there are many differences between Bowser's attacks and the stage. Unlike the previous battles when the player had four mines (eight in the remake), this battle has five mines. When Bowser slams the ground, shockwaves will appear, and they'll damage Mario if he touches them. He retains the fire attacks from the previous battles and can also breathe a stream of fire into the air, which will fall back down as several fireballs. The last difference is that Bowser has to take damage from three mines before admitting defeat. On a side note, when Bowser takes damage from two mines, he'll shake the battlefield, causing it to form a star-like shape; this makes the third throw require much more power and timing than the first two, and the player cannot make the fight easier by getting Bowser close to the edge and spinning him into a mine. Additionally, each time Bowser is damaged, it becomes easier for Mario to grab Bowser's tail without having to bait him into performing the charge attack. After the third hit, Bowser will give Mario the [[Jumbo Star]]. When he touches it, he acquires the [[Wing Cap]], allowing him to fly and land in the castle grounds, where [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and two [[Toad (species)|Toads]] ( | While the method of defeating Bowser is similar to the previous fights, there are many differences between Bowser's attacks and the stage.

Mario will release Peach from above the door entrance, who bakes a cake for her heroes, and then the credits roll. | ||
