World 8-Bowser: Part 2: Difference between revisions

Upon entering, a cutscene plays. Mario sees [[Princess Peach]], bound to the [[Goal Pole]] with a massive bow. Peach then warns Mario as [[Bowser]] falls from the sky and roars a challenge at Mario. The floor cracks and breaks, causing both Mario and Bowser to fall. Mario must then climb the collapsing tower in order to reach Peach. At the start of this segment, the timer is reset to 400 seconds. Bowser will try to attack Mario with fireballs and [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s. After Mario passes a tightrope sequence with some [[Paragoomba]]s on it, Bowser attacks Mario with [[barrel]]s in a similar fashion to [[Donkey Kong]] from the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game. After this, Mario climbs some stairs until he reaches a bridge, where Mario must get behind Bowser while he employs familiar tactics (Fireballs, jumps, tail whips). Then, Mario must bait him into attacking the wall blocking what is assumed to be the final button. The button causes the bridge to collapse, causing Bowser to fall supposedly to his death. A gate is opened and Mario can progress. However, Bowser re-appears, shooting strong purple fireballs that are able to break any breakable platforms they touch. After a lengthy platforming sequence, the screen sets in front of Mario, and he must escape from Bowser, who chases him along the final bridge. Mario must maneuver around the [[Brick Block]]s covering the bridge to reach the actual final button, which causes Bowser to fall again. A cut-scene shows Bowser falling from the bridge while being hit by two slabs of rock falling from the tower, eventually hitting the lava. Another gate is opened, revealing Peach. Mario must reach the Goal Pole and free Peach as the game comes to an end.
