How to Beat Bowser
- Defeat Kammy Koopa First
- Use Power Lift to Increase Attack and Defense Powers
- Flurrie's Lip Lock is Very Effective
Defeat Kammy Koopa First
When fighting against Bowser and Kammy Koopa, you should prioritize defeating Kammy Koopa first because the turtle wizard has the lowest HP among the two but has attacks that can heal and increase the attack and defense power of Bowser.
Use Power Lift to Increase Attack and Defense Powers
You can use the Power Lift special move to increase your attack and defense powers to reduce the damage from Bowser's attacks. Once your attack power is increased, use Power Bounce to deal high amounts of damage.
Flurrie's Lip Lock is Very Effective
Madame Flurrie's Lip Lock move is very effective against the Bowser and Kammy Koopa because the move ignores the enemy defense and allows Flurrie to damage the enemies by stealing their HP and then heals her own.
It's also a good strategy to position Flurrie in front, so she can shield Mario and fight while recovering.

Playable During Intermissions
Bowser, besides being a minor antagonist in The Thousand-Year Door, is also a playable character in his own sections of the game.
In between story chapters, you'll uncover Bowser's own story of chasing Mario around while playing through sidescrolling levels reminiscent of standard Mario games.
Do note that these sections are not replayable, so you will only be able to play as Bowser a few times.
