The pair must try to knock Bowser Jr. into the [[electric rail]] three times before time runs out. Players bounce off each other and Bowser Jr. If a player hits the fence, they are stunned temporarily, but if Bowser Jr. hits the fence, he loses a heart and returns to the center, temporarily invincible. Bowser Jr. generally does not try to attack the players, but he sometimes leads them into the electric fence. If the pair fails to knock Bowser Jr. into the fence three times in 30 seconds, he is victorious.

*This is very similar to the boss battle against [[Topmaniac]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and is almost identical to the battle against Bowser Jr. on the [[World 6-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|second airship]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Also, the sound played during this battle is a slowed-down version of the original.
