Mechakoopa Stomp: Difference between revisions

'''Bowser Crush''' is the fourth and final special attack [[Bowser]] learns in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.  When the attack is used in battle, Bowser summons a giant green (regular colors in the remake) [[Mechakoopa|Mecha Koopa]] that stomps across the battlefield, damaging all enemies. The player can press {{button|snes|Y}} during the attack in order to increase damage dealt. Bowser learns this attack at [[Level Up|level 18]], and he needs 16 [[Flower Point]]s to use it.

The giant Mecha Koopa used for the attack was developed by [[Koopa Troopa]] researchers for several months in a top-secret laboratory located deep within [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]], for the purpose of stomping flowers and frightening butterflies.<ref>''"In a top-secret laboratory deep in Bowser's Keep, nerdy Koopas labored long hours for many months. Their goal: develop the ultimate weapon for squishing flowers and scaring butterflies. Just as they put the finishing touches on the giant Mecha Koopa, though, Smithy invaded. Bowser was initially bummed out that he had to put his plans for carnation crushing on hold, but he brightened considerably when he discovered that the Mecha Koopa does a slam-bang job on bashing enemies. Mwa ha ha!"'' – Miller, K. 1996. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, pg 13.</ref> The giant Mecha Koopa was finished just as the [[Smithy Gang]] invaded Bowser's Keep and the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Bowser was initially disappointed that he could not use the Mecha Koopa for its intended purpose but realized that he could use it to stomp enemies instead. Multiple Mecha Koopas of this sort exist,<ref>''"One of Bowser's giant Mecha Koopas will come stomping on all enemies.[...]" – Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' English manual, page 40.</ref> and it is possible that a different one is summoned each time Bowser Crush is used.
