Bowser in the Sky: Difference between revisions

While the method of defeating Bowser is similar to that for the previous fights, there are many differences between Bowser's attacks and the stage. Unlike the previous battles when the player had four [[Floating Mine|mine]]s (eight in the remake), this battle has five mines. When Bowser slams the ground, shockwaves will appear, and they will damage Mario if he touches them. Bowser 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 [[fireball (obstacle)|fireball]]s. The last difference is that Bowser has to take damage from three mines before admitting defeat; when Bowser takes damage from two mines, he will shake the battlefield, causing it to form a star-like shape, and the third throw will require much more power and timing than the first two. 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 Peach and two Toads (Luigi, Wario, and [[Yoshi]] in the DS version) are waiting for him. Mario releases Peach from above the door entrance, and she bakes a [[cake]] for her hero(es). The credits then roll. The game ends with a screenshot of the cake that everyone bakes, with figures of Mario and Peach on top, and the words "The End" below. In the N64 version, the screen will freeze afterward and the system will need to be turned off or reset. In the DS remake, the making of the cake is shown on the bottom screen during the credits, and additional figures of Luigi and Wario are added if they are unlocked. This time, the player can press the {{button|ds|start}} button on the [[Nintendo DS]] to return to the Title Screen.
