| '''Bowser's Block Battle''' is the final boss [[minigame]] featured in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. This and [[Bowser Jr. Breakdown]] are the only boss minigames played on [[Bowser Station]], and players cannot choose from three other boss minigames. The same happens on [[DK's Jungle Ruins]]. [[Bowser]] fights as [[Giant Bowser|Super Bowser]] as he increases in size. | | :''Not to be confused with [[Bowser's Block Party]] in [[Mario Party DS]].'' |

| The players must attack Bowser by rolling dice marked with their own faces and Bowser [[emblem]]s on the remaining sides. These dice are not typical Dice Blocks but objects that players can pick up and throw if they want to change what faces up. After 10 seconds, the rolls are set and dice can no longer be picked up (dice that are held by players when the time limit expires are thrown automatically, and the rolls are included). The dice that show the players' faces are converted into energy balls that players can shoot at Bowser for [[point]]s. Players attack in decreasing order of number of dice with their faces shown, so those with the most dice make the first move, and those with the fewest dice take a turn last. Players with equal numbers of dice with their characters' faces attack together. After every player attacks, if any dice show his emblem, Bowser attacks by spitting a trio of [[fireball]]s once for each die, and anybody hit by a fireball loses one point. If no dice show his emblem, Bowser grabs the board in disbelief and groans in frustration. Bowser then throws a new set of dice onto the stage, and the process repeats.
| | Players must attack [[Bowser]] by rolling [[Dice Block|dice]] marked with their own faces and Bowser symbols on the remaining sides. These dice are not typical dice blocks, but objects that players can pick up and throw if they do not like what was previously rolled. After a few seconds, the rolls will be set and dice can not be picked up (although those already in a player's hands can be thrown and the roll will be included). Each character will then attack and deal damage to Bowser equal to the number of dice showing his or her face, starting with the player or players with the most dice. After every player attacks, if any dice show Bowser's symbol, he'll attack by spitting a trio of [[fireball]]s once for each dice; anybody hit by a fireball will lose one point. The process will then repeat. |

| When his [[Health Meter|health]] drops below half, Bowser becomes even angrier and starts roaring loudly before increasing in size again and makes the battle more dangerous. After tossing the dice onto the field, Bowser grabs the stage and tilts it from side to side to complicate the players' attempts to roll the dice. If he gets any chances to attack, the fireballs are larger and faster than before, making them more difficult to avoid. He also gains one new attack: After everyone has attacked with their dice, Bowser rolls a large, spike-edged die with images of the six bosses in this game on it. (This die does not crush any players it lands on top of, so players can still make it tumble and change the image it shows.) After it lands, the camera zooms in to show which image was rolled. The die disappears in a puff of smoke, and the players must evade one of six elaborate attacks: | | When Bowser's health drops below half (signified by his health bar dropping past the white line in the middle and turning orange), he will increase in size and make the battle more dangerous. After throwing his dice, the Koopa King will grab the stage, occasionally tilting it to complicate the players' attempts to roll the dice. If he gets any chances to attack, the fireballs will be larger and faster than before, making them more difficult to avoid. He also gains one new attack: after everyone has attacked with their dice, Bowser will roll a large, spike-edged die with images of the six bosses on it. After it lands (the camera zooms in to show which image appeared), the die disappears in a puff of smoke and the players must evade one of six elaborate attacks: |
| *[[Wiggler]] walks around the arena three times before leaving.
| |
| *[[King Bob-omb]] drops into the middle of the arena and makes [[Bob-omb]]s fall out of the sky.
| |
| *[[King Boo]] summons two separate groups of [[Boo]]s that spin in gradually expanding circles. The first group spins clockwise or counterclockwise, and the second group spins in the opposite direction.
| |
| *[[Blooper]] floats near the front of the arena (where Bowser is) and tosses 10 [[Urchin]]s at the players.
| |
| *[[Chain Chomp]] drops into the middle of the arena and charges at the players. When it hits a wall, it changes direction. Players must dodge a few charges before Chain Chomp leaves the arena.
| |
| *If Bowser rolls his own image on the die, he launches five waves of fireballs straight ahead. The waves alternate between three and four fireballs, forcing players to weave between them.

| Whoever delivers the final attack on Bowser earns an additional three points, and the player with the most points at the end of the minigame wins.
| | *If [[Wiggler]]'s image appeared on the block, he walks around the arena three times before leaving. |
| | *When [[Big Bob-omb]]'s image appears, he drops into the middle of the arena, causing [[Bob-omb]]s to fall out of the sky. |
| | *[[King Boo]]'s appearance on the dice causes him to summon groups of [[Boo]]s that spin in gradually-expanding circles. The first group spins clockwise or counterclockwise and the second group spins in the opposite direction. |
| | *If [[Blooper]] appears on the block, it floats near the northern edge of the arena (where Bowser is), tossing [[Urchin]]s at players. |
| | *[[Chain Chomp]]'s image on the dice causes it to drop into the middle of the arena before charging at the players. When it hits a wall, it will change direction. Players must dodge a few charges before Chain Chomp leaves the arena. |
