Made up for by the hell you're gonna be going through after through to get the next two stars. The original player's guide even calls the star you find here a reward, after all the trouble you went through in Booster's Tower and Marrymore. It's a pretty short area where you find a Star without any interference from the Smithy Gang or any boss fight whatsoever. The whole sequence comes completely out of nowhere and is never explained or mentioned again. Following his defeat, the Shy Guy holding up your chandelier lugs you up to the top of the Keep while jaunty music plays and your party members dance a jig. Boomer is some kind of robot samurai that duels the party in a recreation of the Bowser fight at the start of the game, and the game treats him like some major rival despite the fact that he was introduced about fifteen seconds before the boss battle against him begins.

Although it is an unlimited source of free coins, the fact that you only get one per use during battle makes it the slowest method of getting money. Goodie Bag, a secret item in Booster Tower.Pure Water sells for 75 coins each, which can be a very easy money grind if you need it. However, undead enemies aren't fought that frequently and by the time you leave the dungeon they're found in, your inventory might be filled with Pure Water and have to be sold off to make room. Pure Waters can instantly kill undead enemies and said item is frequently dropped by them.Mario goes toe-to-toe with a Greater-Scope Villain refugee from the Final Fantasy series, and prevails.

The sight of Exor sticking out of Bowser's Keep is the game's Signature Scene that all the marketing featured prominently, so it's arguable that the entire game has been building to this battle. Mario and his allies ascend to the highest turrets of Bowser's Keep and engage a giant sword so huge its handle is bigger than your three party members combined. The fight itself is epic, made even moreso by FINALLY getting the sixth Star Piece that you've by this point been put through hell to find. The Axem Rangers, a parody of Power Rangers / Super Sentai where each of them have a unique fighting style, and when you beat them all they channel their power into their airship to fire a Wave-Motion Gun.The fight then becomes a Duel Boss as Mario and Johnny brawl with Mario's allies and Johnny's pirates cheering them on.

only because when you do so, he laughs at how good of a fight you're giving him, and challenges Mario to a one-on-one brawl. Unlike other bosses, Johnny doesn't call more minions if you dispose of them. After exploring the very long Sunken Ship level to get to his throne room, he engages you with a quartet of pirates. Which Bowser then reverses by throwing a hammer up to weaken Mario's chain and bring him down with him. Mario hops on to the other chandelier as they rise up and the two duel high above the throne room, culminating with Mario attacking the chain holding Bowser's chandelier and making it release him to a Disney Villain Death. Mario gets to the throne room and finds it empty, then looks up and sees Bowser laughing at him from atop one of two chandeliers hanging in the room, Toadstool strung up between them. Sure it's just a tutorial boss that you have to try to lose, but the opening fight with Bowser is epic in concept.That being said, many do still have a genuine fondness for the character regardless. As time has gone on, Geno himself has increasingly gained this status, mainly due to Hype Backlash from people who don't understand the character's immense popularity with the Mario fanbase, finding him overhyped and not actually that remarkable of a character, since he has scarcely made any physical appearances outside of this game.
