We can stomp on Goombas and Koopas all day long, but Mario has encountered some pretty tough bosses. For this list, we’ll be looking at the toughest fights Mario has had to endure. However, we’re only looking at the main series, no spin-offs. Our list includes Fiery Gobblegut from “Super Mario Galaxy 2” (2010), Phantamanta from “Super Mario Sunshine” (2002), Knucklotec from “Super Mario Odyssey” (2017), and more! Which of these bosses made you want to leave Peach to her own devices? Share your thoughts in the comments!

    Fiery Dino Piranha use to be my worst nightmare to defeat as a kid. But now as an adult it’s actually a piece of cake and quite fun.
  • Mecha Bowser is super easy. It’s the dang balloon popping level on the roller coaster that is the real frustrating part from that world.
  • I think the final bosses in the Mario & Luigi series were pretty tough.
  • @thekattkult
    I think the Broodals on the moon in Odyssey were harder than some of these bosses only because you have to fight one after another without much of a save or recharge. Individually they were not too bad but one after another became quite a task.
  • The harder these boss battles get, the more exciting it gets. I very much enjoy fighting against lots of tough Super Mario bosses.
  • @SingingGinge
    Phanatmanta, although hard, was so much fun to play and beat. I used to go back and challenge that boss again and again. Sunshine just hit different, in general. Such an unforgettable classic in the series.

    This list came at a perfect time. I literally just beat Bouldergeist from Super Mario Galaxy in the daredevil comet mode and man, it took so many tries! I felt so accomplished when I managed to get the star! Super Mario games are the best!
  • @Chmima
    For what it’s worth, Bowser from the NES Super Mario Bros. was THE hardest. I was 8 years old. My heart was racing. My palms were sweaty. My focus was intense. It took me an entire weekend to navigate World 8. This was before I knew of the warps. I screamed when I finally cut the bridge. Then was told no more video games for the next week. Great times!
  • @luxlegend8729
    We can all agree that Fighting Mecha Bowser was very confusing when u thought you hit it, and you didn't
  • @nobod2567
    What's more shocking is that Big Man's Boss fight in Splatoon 3 is heavily inspired by the Phantamanta fight
  • Lol, I think Meowser in Super Mario 3D World isn't tough at all. You just have to stay in the middle of the screen and wait for Meowser to appear at the top or the bottom of the screen and then climb or slide down. I even get bored because the screen scrolls so slowly. And I'm always waiting until I can finally hit the POW Block at the top of the tower and end the fight.
  • About Super Marto 64 Bowser's final fight, you forgot to mentioned one little detail: he spit red and blue flames and the blue fire persues the player, try avoid that in the reduced arena kkkkkkkkkkkkk
  • @icefire2104
    Thanks Mojoplays for giving me flashbacks of fighting Bowser in Super Mario 64.
  • @riahlexington
    Phantamanta is one of the most unique but infuriating bosses ever
  • Please do the 10 best final boss tracks from the Sonic games, because “I’m Here,” “What I’m Made Of,” “With Me,” and all the others are great.
  • Daredevil comet version of Bouldergeist is definitely the one that stands out to me. I've beaten all the Mario games many times and that was the only really tough boss fight.
