Smash Ultimate Makes Bowser a Better Boss
Smash Ultimate Makes Bowser a Better Boss! When Super Smash Bros. adapted Bowser for a boss fight, it had to keep his famous battle progression from the Super Mario series while also changing the format from a platformer to a fighting game.

So today, let's see how Smash Ultimate's version of Giga Bowser makes the iconic boss even greater - on this episode of Boss Battle Breakdown!

Smash Ultimate Makes Kirby’s Marx Even Better! Marx is one of Kirby’s most famous bosses, so when HAL Laboratory adapted him as a boss in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, they had big shoes to fill.

Let’s discuss that, on this episode of Boss Battle Breakdown!

So today, let’s dive into how the Kirby franchise brought Meta Knight back to his pattern from Kirby’s Adventure - in this episode of Boss Battle Breakdown!
King Dedede Keeps Getting Better
King Dedede Keeps Getting Better! King Dedede has been a staple boss in Kirby ever since appearing as the final boss in Dreamland - but how does HAL Laboratory keep him so interesting and memorable? Let’s look at how his story inclusions across the franchise make him such a great character right up to Star Allies, even if his moveset stays the same. Here’s why King Dedede is so great - on this episode of Boss Battle Breakdown!
