| '''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 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 view will be on the players on a platform in space. The view will then change to be in front of the platform, and Bowser will appear, roar menacingly, and pull some dice out. |

| 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 short while, 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. If any dice show Bowser's symbol, he'll attack after being damaged 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 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 is damaged halfway, he will increase in size. He will occasionally tilt the stage to complicate the players' attempts to roll the dice, and his fireball attack will also become larger and more difficult to avoid. After attacking with his fireballs, he'll roll a special dice with the six bosses on it. If Bowser rolls a previous boss, that character will appear and attack the players; if he rolls himself, he'll make a ferocious fireball assault, launching many more than his regular attack. |
| *[[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 Bowser is not defeated before five minutes pass, the minigame ends in a draw.
| | When [[Wiggler]] appears on the spiky dice, he walks around three times before walking out of the arena. When [[Big Bob-omb]] appears on the spiky dice, he slams the ground causing [[Bob-omb]]s to fall out of the sky. When [[King Boo]] appears on the spiky dice, [[Boo]]s must be avoided. The first time is clockwise or counterclockwise and the second time is the opposite direction. When [[Blooper]] appears on the spiky dice, it floats tossing [[Urchin]]s a certain number of times. When [[Chain Chomp]] appears on the spiky dice, it falls from the sky, moving toward the other players. Bumping walls will change direction. |
