Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story guide hub

Giant Bowler #5

After the successful fight against the Dark Star, it continues again with Bowser. He sees Dark Bowser fleeing and opening new paths. You should follow it and save it first and possibly buy new items. Leave the castle downstairs, where you’ll meet Fawful, he’ll turn Princess Peach’s Castle into a monster and kick Bowser flat. Again, Mario & Luigi must return to the power chamber of the tail and Bowser’s energy. Bowser will be huge again! This gigantic struggle is marked by many traps and strong counterattacks. First of all, you should hit the castle again and again and take care that you do not get into the black pit. The attacks best all counters, i.e. turn the touchp in a circle and jump up. The Fire is only needed if there are several Enemies! Towards the end, the castle also strikes back from the black pit! Give the castle the final blow and the battle is won.

Tip

Now it is up to you whether you go back to the castle or solve a few additional tasks to learn, for example, two new attacks. If yes, please click here. This solution assumes that you have all special attacks!Broggy and the Magic Window


A new struggle

So go back to the castle and destroy all the statues in the ball form. You will quickly see Fawful before you follow him, should you recharge the energy of Mario & Luigi! Once you have found Fawful, the fight begins shortly afterwards. Right at Begin you have to hit Fawful three times and then duck. When it’s your turn, select Broggy and target the jet helmet. If you make the attack excellent, you should be able to suck in the helmet in the next round. With Mario & Luigi you attack the helmet then three times with the Falling Star, at high power, the jet helmet is now defeated. Otherwise, attack again with Bowser. Now it’s Fawful, this one you should always tail with the Broggy, after five excellent attacks he is defeated. His attacks are sometimes quite difficult to counter and require high concentration. In the Star Attack you have to hit exactly the big star, otherwise always duck. You should beat the Goombas exactly on Fawful so that you do not feel the dark balls.

A short break

If Fawful is defeated, you should completely replenish your energy again, because it goes on with the fight:. Follow as Dark Bowser. Remove his fire breath with X. Then you have to go to Chest Station with Mario. A small game board follows. You have to steer Bowser so that he runs into Dark Bowser. At the end, a path opens up, jump after until you are at the top. Save there first.


The final battle

Now go up and collect the items left and right. The fight begins. First, choose the Broggy again and attack Dark Bowser. Do this with the Broggy until he falls over. He will regenerate. Now you have to hit his stomach and then suck in Dark Fawful. Switch to Mario & Luigi. If you have enough power, you can attack the two glasses with the trampoline, otherwise with the star mix. If both glasses are defeated, it goes to the tentacles, here the trampoline is sufficient. When all three tentacles are defeated, you can finally attack the Dark Star Core. Keep using the Falling Star. Depending on how strong you are, the Dark Star Core is either defeated in these rounds or he flees Bowser’s body again, then you have to attack Dark Bowser again until you can hit his stomach again and suck the thing in again. Then again defeat Dark Star Core and tentacles and now try to finally destroy the Dark Star Core. You just have to press X many times and Dark Bowser is finally defeated.
