Boss Bass: Difference between revisions

In this game, Boss Bass swim on the surface of the water trying to leap out and eat [[Mario]] if he gets too close. It does not matter if Mario is small or big, or has any power-up equipped, Boss Bass will defeat Mario instantly in one gulp even if he was [[Statue Mario]]. In both of the stages he appears in, the water level rises and sinks, making Mario an easy target. Throwing blocks, shells, [[hammer]]s, and [[fireball]]s can defeat him as well as tail attacks and [[Super Star]], but he'll eventually come back. However, in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]'', if the player has set on the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Cards|e-reader card]] that will make enemies hit by [[fireball]]s turn into [[coin]]s, and the player successfully hits Boss Bass with a fireball and collects the coin, Boss Bass will not return for the rest of the level.

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Boss Bass (known here as '''Bubba'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pages 12 & 108</ref>) appear in two places on the [[Tiny-Huge Island]] course. Like [[Cheep Cheep#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Cheep Cheep]], they have been redesigned with visible orange and yellow scales, and they also wear sunglasses and they have no tooth. They aim in on the player character with their mouth wide open, attempting to eat them. If a character is eaten, that character will lose a life, regardless of their current health. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', their design was reverted to their original one, and the closest one can be defeated with a nearby [[Super Mushroom]].
