The Koopa Chase appears as the boss of [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]]. The battlefield consists of a long highway, which the Koopa Chase drives along, with the player pursuing it. Bowser will toss [[Kick Bomb]]s and that must be hit back at him nine times if the bombs hit the Koopa Chase itself or three if the bombs strike Bowser directly (Kick Bombs can be lobbed high for this by hitting them with the [[Cat Mario|Cat form]]'s scratch attack, the [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki form]]'s tail attack, or rolled into); players can also defeat him with 27 hits from the [[Boomerang Mario|Boomerang form]]'s [[boomerang]]s or 45 hits from the [[Fire Mario|Fire form]]'s [[fireball]]s.
