Super Mario World/Bosses


 * ''This is a list of bosses in Super Mario world, for a list of common enemies, see here.

Reznor
Reznors are monsters that look like triceratops and hang out at the end of fortress levels. The only way to beat them is to knock them from underneath their platform and in later fortress yhe floor will break faster.

After you knock off two Reznors, the platform underneath you will start to disappear, giving way to the lava lake beneath. Jump up to one of the platforms the Reznor was on for safety. From there, you will need to jump up to hit the rest of the Reznors. However, if you're quick, you can sometimes defeat all four Reznors without having to jump on the moving platforms.

If you're not that quick it's best to knock off two opposite Reznors first so that you don't have to change platforms while defeating the other ones.

The Big "Boo"
The Big Boo is a large white ghost found in ghost houses. Like Boo Buddies, you can stop them from pursuing you by looking at them. Mario cannot jump over it, he needs to lure him out of the way or use a high platform. The Big Boo is also a boss within the Donut Secret House. Hit it with three grab blocks to reach the secret exit.

Roy Koopa
After you beat the forest fortress, you will have to face him. You and he will be enclosed over lava between 2 pillars that slowly move together. Eventually, if your not fast enough, they will crush you. Roy Koopa doesn't throw anything at you, but he does jump. Once you hit him, he literally bounces of the ceiling. And the walls. You will have to jump on him three times to defeat the castle!

Wendy O. Koopa
She appears in World 6 castle and It´s only a harder version of Lemmy cause she calls rebonding fireballs. To defeat the castle, you have to face her. Jump On Her 3 times to defeat her.

Bowser
Bowser is the final boss of Super Mario World. He shoots five fireballs, and then throws Mecha-Koopas. In the battle, Toadstool appears giving the message "HELP!"

To fight him, knock out a Mecha-Koopa and then toss it upwards onto Bowser. After being struck, Bowser will turn upside down and drop giant cannon balls onto the battlefield. After a round of this, he will send down small flames; find a safe place to stand in between. When they disappear, the sequence will begin again and Bowser will throw Mecha-Koopas out.

The second hit will cause Bowser to change his attack slightly with the cannon balls. He will always finish with the flames and then send out Mecha-Koopas.
