--> -- Bowser and Dark Bowser's exchange, mere moments before the final battle begins

* It's relatively small, but hearing Bowser say Mario's name. It's not said through a chat bubble or a subtitle, but through his own [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]], [[BaritoneOfStrength intimidating]] voice.

->'''Dark Bowser:''' Still here? Has the dark power not crushed your puny hopes? Soon this kingdom will vanish along with all who dwell within. And you, too, will sleep eternally in the dark power's embrace!
->'''Bowser:''' [[EvilLaugh GWAHAHA]]! [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield Great dark hurricane]]! [[LampshadeHanging Seriously, perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle]]! [[CasualDangerDialogue You really sweat the details]]!
->''[beat]''
->'''Bowser:''' Listen up! You're saying the kingdom will vanish? [[ShutUpHannibal NOT TODAY!]] '''[[EvilerThanThou THIS KINGDOM IS ALL MINE!]] ''[[NoYou SO YOU VANISH!]]'''''
->~'''[[FightWoosh SHOWTIME!]]~'''

* A small detail, but when Mario is preparing to counter with his hammer while carrying Luigi after he gets knocked uncounscious in battle, he is ''pissed off''. And when he's holding the hammer for too long, he grits his teeth. [[BigBrotherInstinct If you hurt his brother, he's gonna make you pay for it, that's for sure.]]

* If you manage to defeat [[BonusBoss Bowser X]], it becomes an awesome moment for you as the Emoglobin host will proclaim "You two, best globins ever!"

** This is something of a meta moment of awesome for Bowser as well. Throughout the game, he's been supplanted by Fawful and Midbus as the Big Bad of the title and suffered repeated humiliations throughout his journey. Upon reaching Peach's castle, he discovers that the Dark Star has even copied and attempted to replace him completely. Not only that, but it's set up an awesome final boss stage that Bowser thinks is rightfully his. If this were anyone else, then the chances of winning may be rather slim. But this is Bowser we're talking about here. Bowser's not just a final boss, he's THE final boss, and he's not going to be pushed around by some loser pretending to be him. The ensuing fight is Bowser drawing upon more than thirty years' experience of fighting Mario, to kick-ass and establish himself as the only final boss allowed to ravage the Mushroom Kingdom. It proves that, while there will always be pretenders, the Koopa King truly is the biggest badass around.

--> -- Bowser and Dark Bowser's exchange, mere moments before the final battle begins.

** How about when Giant Bowser has to fight Super Peach's Castle of Fury, 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 mechanic is your friend in the second half of this battle, as a force field prevents fire damage to SPCF after it takes about 50% damage. Hope you burninated the castle to get Refreshrooms beforehand.
** The battle with Super Peach's Castle of Fury has a special moment in the remake. For the remake's version of the Giant Bowser battles, each of them ends with a finishing move, where Bowser punches the enemy into the sky with some RapidFireFisticuffs, then clobbers them across the battlefield with a MegatonPunch. Here though? He punches the castle SO HARD, he sends it flying ''around the planet so fast it catches fire'' and crash lands back into the battlefield.
*** 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!" "Flee!"

** 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 mechanic 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.
