Bowser Intermission Levels Overview

Levels That Expound on Bowser's Story

In between Mario's journey to find all the Crystal Stars, you will be able to play as Bowser as he and Kammy try to find not only the captive Peach but also the Crystal Stars.

Play Through Platforming Levels

While going through these intermissions, you'll sometimes be treated with platforming levels that lets you play as Bowser himself. These sections resemble platforming gameplay that you can experience on traditional 2D Mario games.

During these sections, Bowser can jump and use his fire breath attack to knock out enemies and break blocks. He can also get meat from yellow blocks which makes him grow in size and even become temporarily invincible, as if he has used a Super Star.

Bowser will also have infinite lives, so you don't have to worry about getting a game over. However, he will still be damaged by enemies, obstacles, or when he falls down a pit.

Intermissions are Not Replayable

Bowser's levels, along with Peach's, are not replayable and can only be played through once.
