Bowser boss battles

Mario fighting Bowser in Bowser in the Dark World

Bowser is fought in three courses, each of which is behind a Big Star Door, and a certain number of Power Stars is required to open the doors. Big Star Doors can be opened only with Mario, though once one is opened, any character can enter the door. The only exception to this is the Big Star Door leading to the final Bowser course; if any character other than Mario enters it, that character is brought to the endless stairs instead.

The following is a list of Bowser's subversive worlds and the number of Power Stars required to access them:

• Bowser in the Dark World – 12 Power Stars
• Bowser in the Fire Sea – 30 Power Stars to open the Big Star Door, and the first Power Star from Dire, Dire Docks
• Bowser in the Sky – 80 Power Stars
