I mean, it wasn't that bad, and the inclusion of Bowser Jr. (and flying his copter) was neat, but in the face of games like NSMBW and Super Mario 3D Land, this final boss was simply... lacking.

And don't even get me STARTED on the very last stage.

The Dumbest thing about the last stage is that Bowser Jr starts with a shield that prevents you from jumping on him, and then in the second half of the stage he just loses it for some reason.

Have it so he has the shield in the fight and you ground pound on it to break it. Just don't have it disappear for no reason.

I rather liked it.

Yeah it re-uses the giant Bowser battle AGAIN but its a different way that hasn't been done in a Mario game yet.

It's weaker than Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Yoshi's Island ones.

I'm still hoping some day we get a Shadow of the Collessus-esque Bowser Boss where he is soo large you have climb up to the top of his and attack his weakpoint, I know they have explored the concept with Megalegs, but still. Really want it.

Well, with the exception of 3D Land and NSMBWii, those games had decent final bosses.

I'll give you Yoshi's island but I wasn't too crazy about the SMG2 Bowser fights. Since all 3 of them are basically the same thing with the exception of the last one where you have that extra fight at the end. But that extra fight was terrible, Bowser only had one attack and you could beat him before he even got a chance to use it.

Well yeah, but that last bit was still awesome.

Are you talking about SM64, SMG, or SMG2?

Specifically galaxy 2.

I mean yeah in those other games you fight Bowser 3 times but there are very clear differences in how Bowser attacks.

in SMG2 however its the same every time. Bowser tries to punch you, summons meteor, hit him with meteor, punch, meteor, hit him with meteor, after that he starts breathing fire before summoning meteors and punching.

Its the same thing for all 3 fights.
