He often serves as the final boss of a game.


Though Mega Baby Bowser's size has stayed roughly the same across the franchise, the method used to enlarge him always occurs when Baby Bowser is in a life-threatening situation. For example, in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', [[Kamek]] enlarges Baby Bowser following his failure to stop [[Yoshi]].

Big Baby Bowser debuts in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' as the true final boss in said game and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. He is fought after defeating Baby Bowser right before Kamek casts a spell on him. The final battle takes place on the remains of the room; at the beginning, Big Baby Bowser sends debris down to destroy part of the ground. During this phase, Big Baby Bowser attacks by breathing fireballs at Yoshi, advancing from the background. If Big Baby Bowser gets too close to the castle, the ground will be destroyed, instantly defeating Yoshi. The player must grab the [[Giant Egg]]s that [[Item Balloon|Baron von Zeppelin]]s carry onto the stage and throw them into the background at Big Baby Bowser to knock him back. After enough hits, he simply charges forward, and after seven hits, he is defeated, returned to his normal size, and knocked out; it is possible to land this last hit even if his charge destroys the ground Yoshi is standing on, resulting in a slightly different final cutscene. Afterward, Kamek reappears and vows revenge before flying off with Baby Bowser. Yoshi then sprints up to the [[Stork]] and [[Baby Luigi]], freeing them both and allowing the Stork to deliver the babies to their parents.

Baby Bowser sports three fingers on each hand during the final battle, despite his adult self having four. This error is corrected in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', which redraws his sprites to add a fourth finger; appearances in other games also depict Baby Bowser with the proper number of fingers.

Mega Baby Bowser appears in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' as the true penultimate boss of the game in a battle reminiscent of his battle in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', though more similar to the battle with Giant Bowser in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. Mega Baby Bowser's is a higher-pitched version of [[Bowser Jr.|his future son]]'s voice, as evidenced further from the battle. His appearance, when giant, uses his future self's body, while his head is based on his giant form in the original ''Yoshi's Island''. After he is defeated, the stork and Baby Luigi are rescued. However, if the Yoshis never used the [[Flutter Wings]], [[Bowser|his future self]] appears out of nowhere, making Yoshi and Baby Mario battle him before they can do so.
