When | At the top of every tower, there is a boss fight with [[Bowser Jr.]], who becomes increasingly more difficult as Mario (or Luigi) reaches each tower. When he is defeated, he gets back up and jumps off-screen (and out of the tower). Additionally, the first time Bowser Jr. is defeated in each tower, a brief cutscene ensues on the map, showing him running with [[Princess Peach]] to the [[castle]] of that world. Some worlds have 2 towers. | ||
