History Awesome / MarioParty

** Right when Bowser is about to shrink the player character even further after he/she wins the right to fight him, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong arrive at Bowser's Castle and pull a BigDamnedHeroes moment, with Donkey Kong knocking Bowser aside and destroying his Minimizer scepter, giving back their size to the playable characters and allowing the player to fight and defeat Bowser.

* More or less every final boss mini-game is tense enough to work as one whenever the player wins.

* Daisy slapping Bowser into the sky in Mario Party 3. No wonder Bowser rarely kidnaps ''her''.

* The Frightmare Bowser fight in Mario Party 5, especially the last phase--and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXdtP4Wkyo the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWPN7cMYJEU music]].

* ''Mario Party DS'' deserves a mention because unlike in the other games, you can fight Bowser in the final mini-game with bare hands and feet instead of wands or any other items (not that they're uncool). Bowser has a magic belt and what does your character do? Beat him to a pulp of course!

* ''Super Mario Party'' Bowser is playable but unlike in Mario Party 10, Bowser does not play to destroy team Mario but he plays by the rules the rest of the characters play, and he can still win and become the super star, the fact that Bowser can play Mario at the Plumber's own game on equal footing with Mario and Mario's friends and possibly win and become the super star without having to go on a Giant Bowser Rampage oozes awesome.

** In ''Super Mario Party'''s Sound stage, Waluigi performs a moonwalk, which is very much like Michael Jackson's Moonwalk.
** Yoshi's dance in Sound Stage looks like something you'd see in [[WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans The Backyardigans]].

* The victory skits at the end of each board in ''Mario Party 2'' has the top player heroically defeating Bowser in a way that matches the theme of the board, which is especially fun after all how much he messes with you during the board. The one for Bowser Land takes the cake, though.

* In ''Mario Party Island Tour'', in Story Mode Bowser ''wins''. When the character reaches the top of Bowser's Tower, Bowser will reveal that the destroyed Bowser was a decoy and then proceed to knock the character off the tower, saying that they can come back any time.
* Mario Party 10's star is Bowser, who is playable for the first time (not counting a bonus game in 4). Whoever plays as him can ruin the other players' days.
