Bowser
To defeat Bowser, Mario has to grab its tail, swing it round and round to gain speed, and release it so it will hit one of the bombs surrounding the arena. Despite fire, Bowser also attacks by jumping on the arena so to fall Mario into lava. It teleports when Mario approach it. Be patient; and run in the up hill direction when it jumps to tilt the whole platform. For the Bowser in this stage, one hit to a bomb will finish him.
