• Bowser finishing off Dark Bowser.
  • To be specific, after Mario and Luigi destroy the Dark Star Core, Bowser finishes off Dark Bowser with five punches, the last one being the sliding punch that you cannot usually use in battle. Look it up on Youtube.
    • Plus, after he does the sliding punch and Dark Bowser explodes, he does the same victory pose and roar he does whenever he levels up.
• Bowser's moment of Heroic Willpower, with help from Starlow.

Dark Bowser: Soon, this kingdom will vanish along with all who dwell within. And you too will sleep eternally in the dark powers' embrace! Bowser: GWAHAHA! Great dark hurricane! Seriously, perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle! You really sweat the details! Listen up! You're saying the kingdom will vanish? NOT TODAY! THIS KINGDOM IS ALL MINE! SO YOU VANISH! *SHOWTIME!*

• It's a tie between the first time in Bowser's Inside Story that The Mario Bros. have to revive Bowser and he turns giant as a result - and then proceeds to beat the stuffing out of his own castle and in the beginning of the game when Peach smacks Bowser halfway across the Mushroom Kingdom, quite literally.
  • Even better - in tune with some Continuity Porn, she uses her Wish power (see SMRPG and Paper Mario) and, together with Starlow, not only casts an Epic Level Drain, she also levitates him up, and with the tiniest hand movement, sends him flying. Clearly, one does not bother the Princess when her Kingdom needs help.
  • How about when Giant Bowser has to fight Fawfulized Peach Castle, which has a freaking black hole gun that fires at the start of the battle, and again halfway through, and both black holes can suck in either Bowser or Fawful Castle, causing damage. The punch maneuver is your friend in the second half of this battle, as a force field prevents fire damage to Fawful Castle after it takes about 50% damage. Hope you burninated the castle to get Refreshrooms beforehand.
    • The actual cutscene for this was also pretty awesome. Bowser growing about ten times larger, right outside of Toad Town, with all the Toads running around screaming "It's Bowser!" Something about this moment just really made this troper smile.
• As Fawful absorbs the power of the Dark Star, he taunts Bowser about how powerful he is becoming, as he turns to a dark silhouette with red eyes. Then, Bowser steps forward and smashes him in the face, sending him flying.
