'''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]] will fight as Super Bowser as he increases in size.

'''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.

The view is on the players, who are standing on a stone platform floating in space. The view shifts to the front of the platform as the already enlarged Bowser appears, roars furiously, and pulls some [[Dice Block|dice]] out in his hand.

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.

When his health drops below half (signified by his health bar dropping past the white line in the middle and turning red), Bowser will let out a scary roar before increasing in size again and make the battle more dangerous. After tossing the dice onto the field, the Koopa King will grab the stage and tilt it side to side 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. (Fortunately, this die won't 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 is rolled. The die disappears in a puff of smoke and the players must evade one of six elaborate attacks:
