== Notes ==
Each '''Bowser battle''' is located at the end of its respective stage: [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Dark World|Bowser in the Dark World]], [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Fire Sea|Bowser in the Fire Sea]], and [[RTA Guide/Bowser in the Sky|Bowser in the Sky]].
== Tips ==
*Avoid letting Bowser make more than '''three full rotations''' before throwing him; otherwise, he will start spinning too fast to reliably aim.
*In order to trigger Bowser's text after defeating him, Mario must be within a short distance of him and face towards the center of his body.
*The "whoosh" sound that plays while spinning Bowser is not indicative of whether he is pointing towards a bomb; try to focus on aiming ''visually''.
*It is highly recommended that runners who play using an original Nintendo 64 controller switch to a different controller for Bowser fights, as rapidly spinning the N64 controller's stick will wear it down.
**Recommended controllers include a Hori Mini Pad, a [https://a.co/d/d72pG9Q Retro-Bit Tribute 64] or [https://a.co/d/4ZTzk7B Warrior64], or a GameCube controller via a [https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/gc_to_n64_adapter_v3_with_builtin_controller_pak/index.php Raphnet adapter].


Bowser Fights are very important, in all 3 bowser stages, there are entrances
==Tutorial==
that take you to Bowser, you have to pick bowser up from the tail and throw him

into one of the bombs.


Once you defeat bowser he will fall on his back
== Bowser in the Dark World ==
and once you talk to him he will drop a key in 2/3 of the stages
=== Standard ===
except for the final bowser stage he drops a big star. Once

you collect the big star your run is finished.

=== Bowser Dance ===
Bowser has a ~10% chance to "dance" in place at the beginning of the fight; this allows you to grab his tail earlier and thus throw him quicker. Grabbing his tail near the tip places you closer to the bomb and can make the throw easier.

It is also recommended you use a different controller with a better joystick
== Bowser in the Fire Sea ==
because the Original N64 Controller's joystick is very bad and can damage the stick
In this battle, Mario cannot grab Bowser until the platform stops teetering completely. Avoid groundpounding around Bowser's side of the platform during this period, otherwise Mario may clip through and fall into the lava underneath.
if you spin it rapidly. The best controller option for bowser throws is a hori pad
=== Standard ===
mini or a retro bit tribute 64 controller.

=== Advanced (3/4 Spin) ===
As shown in these examples, you can delay your dive and let Bowser rotate longer if you need more room to spin; if you can spin faster, you can dive earlier to save more time.

The USA version is fastest for all bowser fights due to text boxes
== Bowser in the Sky ==
This fight requires '''three hits''' to defeat Bowser instead of one like in the first two fights; select a bomb order that works best for you below and ''go for it every time'' for consistency.


This is just some information, run the version that is fastest for your category
=== Bomb Order 1 ===
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL5UtVyDyjc}}
=== Bomb Order 2 ===
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SQbVPv639Q}}


=== Bomb Order 3 (Expert) ===
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX8iHSDiTVI}}


Bowser In The Dark World - Requires 1 throw into the bomb
Bowser In The Fire Sea - Requires 1 throw into the bomb
Bowser In The Sky - Requires 3 throws into the bomb
== Bowser In The Dark World ==
In this bowser stage, there is a low chance you can get a "Dancing Bowser"
Dancing Bowser is a litte dancing animation bowser does which he stands still
There is a 10% Chance to get this animation from bowser
This allows you to pick him up by his tail faster and spin him
into the bomb faster. This saves little time
