Basically there are limited things you can do to enemies in the game; restricted to jumping on them, using fireballs, or colliding with them while using invincibility. Now since there is no invincibility near the Bowser fight, and colliding with him (whether you jump on him or not) causes player damage, you're limited to Fireballs, and hitting the lever. Show The only argument against this however is in the case of the "Imposters" or "Fake Bowsers", which will revert to their original forms once being hit by a fireball and can be dealt with in their own respective manner (e.g. the Goomba can be squashed). EDIT: @Michaellogg has pointed out that this last statement is actually incorrect; the "transformed sprite" is purely aesthetic, as hitting it with fireballs kills it outright. Attention!

HistoryMain article: Bowser Bowser, once again, kidnapped Princess Peach and taunts Mario to rescue her. Bowser can be heard throughout the castle at points taunting Mario on his progress. Bowser is confronted on three different levels, in which, he is defeated by Mario at all times. It wasn't until the third and final battle where Bowser is put down for good.BattlesFirst battleMain article: Bowser in the Dark World Bowser is first fought at this level after getting 8 Power Stars (in Super Mario 64) or 12 (in Super Mario 64 DS). Bowser is fought on a large circling platform requiring Mario to grab him by the tail and spin him toward any of the bombs outside of the arena. Bowser's primary attack is a fire breath that has a very short range. Mario simply needs to avoid Bowser's fire breaths and throw him once at one of the bombs to end the battle.Second battleMain article: Bowser in the Fire Sea In order to get to Bowser for the second fight, Mario must first go through Dire, Dire Docks, and obtain the first Power Star there (which involves boarding Bowser's submarine). After making through the levels, Mario will come across Bowser once more. The same elements apply here from the first battle: Grab Bowser by his tail and spin him once at one of the bombs around the arena to defeat him. However, Bowser some new tricks one mainly being him rocking the platform back and forth when he stomps on it.Third battleMain article: Bowser in the Sky The third and final fight with Bowser can be accessed by first collecting 70 Power Stars (80 in Super Mario 64 DS) and making it through the level. Bowser puts up much more of a fight in this final battle now using shockwaves forcing Mario to jump over them with timing. Bowser also breathes fire that can even follow Mario around for a few moments. Also, Bowser now requires three hits into the bombs to defeat him. After two hits, Bowser destroys most of the arena making it into the shape of a Power Star which makes throwing him into the bombs and avoiding his attacks more difficult. Eventually, Mario is able to defeat Bowser once and for all and dons the Wing Cap before flying away with the last Power Star.Trivia
