See the above section, where they are listed. Almost all of these are treated as scripted unique enemy encounters used solely to introduce a mechanic and as such no not really fit the definition of a boss, and with few exceptions, most also have normal enemy battle themes and defeat effects (if ''any'' defeat effects). The only ones to have boss music are PiT's Junior Shrooboid, DT's inexplicable Antasma (which uses his theme), and BiS remake's meeting-room Bowser; the only ones with boss defeat effects are Broggy and the unexplained Antasma. Basically, the majority of these at least are no more bosses than the Elite Goombules in BiS, and only marginally moreso than SS's Hammerhead Bros. in that they are defeated at all. | See the above section, where they are listed.

#{{User|Tails777}} I personally don't think it matters too much if we consider them bosses or not, regardless of their status as tutorial bosses. We don't stop considering [[Welcome To Yoshi's Island]] a level, even if it's a tutorial level you only play once. | #{{User|Tails777}} I personally don't think it matters too much if we consider them bosses or not, regardless of their status as tutorial bosses.

== Story summary pages == | |||
I could have sworn there was a discussion about this somewhere else on the wiki, but I can't find it so I'm bringing it up here (if anyone does know where it is, I would appreciate a link to it). In the aforementioned discussion, there was an idea of pages listing story summaries shown in each of the games, primarily when saving the game, and I'm sure some people including myself did approve of it. I have already noted down the story summaries for Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions and I'm ready to make the completed page right away, but I wanted to get further approval of the idea first. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 20:21, March 3, 2023 (EST) | |||
