This level is unlocked via completion of [[Red-Hot Elevator Ride]] and its own completion unlocks [[Superstar Road]] and the [[Secret Island]].

The first part of the course is a short section comprised of [[lava]] and platforms similar to the [[Bonecoaster]]. Bowser Jr. will periodically crash into the ground, destroying [[Brick Block]]s and the previously mentioned platforms.
[[File:NSMBU Bowser and Bowser Jr Battle.png|left|thumb|The final two bosses]]
The first part of the course is a short section of [[lava]] and [[Bridge (New Super Mario Bros. U)|bridge]]s. [[Bowser Jr.]] chases the player in his [[Junior Clown Car]], periodically attempting to drop on their heads and also may try to push them into the [[lava]] below if they get too close. The player can dodge the attack by moving out of the way as Bowser Jr. drops, but he destroys any [[Brick Block]]s he hits on the way down. The player cannot harm Bowser Jr. in this section (due to a glass dome over the cockpit of his Junior Clown Car), so they must simply avoid his attacks as they work their way through the course. Throughout the area, [[Lava Bubble]]s are found between platforms, and [[Bony Beetle]]s can be found on some platforms. A [[Warp Door]] is found at the end of the area, leading to the second area of the level. To the right of the door are two [[Hidden Block]]s. The one on the top contains a [[1-Up Mushroom]].


The second part of the course contains the first [[Bowser]] battle, which greatly resembles the first part of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'''s final boss. Hitting the switch at the other side of the course causes an [[Axe]] to cut the bridge Bowser is standing on, making him crash into the [[Pit (obstacle)|pit]] below. After the player moves on to the final part, Bowser Jr. convinces [[Kamek]] to enlarge Bowser.
The second area of this level begins with a [[Checkpoint Flag]] in front of large green doors that lead to the battle. Two Hidden Blocks on both sides contain a [[Fire Flower]] and an [[Ice Flower]]. Through the doors is a corridor filled with incoming [[fireball]]s breathed by [[Bowser]] that leads to Bowser himself. Once the player reaches Bowser through the corridor, both sides of the room are closed off by gates before the battle begins. The first phase greatly resembles the first part of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''{{'}}s final boss: hitting the switch at the other side of the course causes an [[axe]] to cut the bridge Bowser is standing on, making him crash into the [[pit]] below. After the player moves on to the final part, Bowser Jr. arrives with [[Kamek|Magikoopa]], who casts a spell to enlarge Bowser.


The last part of the course is a boss battle with Giant Bowser. Unlike the previous encounter, however, the player must directly harm Bowser by stealing Bowser Jr.'s Koopa Clown Car and crashing it into Bowser. After doing this three times, Bowser is defeated and the game ends.
The final part of the course takes the player to a courtyard overlooked by a tower holding [[Princess Peach]] captive. Before the player can reach Princess Peach, they must survive a boss battle with [[Giant Bowser]]. Bowser Jr. appears and laughs at the player with Giant Bowser following. He then [[jump]]s up and roars at them, signaling the start of the true final battle. Unlike the three previous encounters, the player must directly harm Bowser by stealing Bowser Jr.'s Junior Clown Car and crashing it down on Bowser's head. However, Bowser Jr. cannot be defeated, no matter how many stomps or attacks from the player(s) he has taken, although he can be stunned. The player can then throw Bowser Jr. at Bowser to damage him, although this method is time consuming. The player can also shoot a large amount of fireballs at Bowser or perform [[Synchro Ground-Pound]]s (with multiple players) to defeat him. While doing this, they must evade Bowser's enormous fireballs and spinning shell, as well as Bowser Jr.'s diving attacks and dropped [[Bob-omb]]s. After three strikes to the head, Bowser is defeated and the game is beaten. Bowser Jr. then looks humiliated, and then jumps down to see Bowser.

The Final Battle, or Peach's Castle-The Icon of Princess Peach's Castle from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.2, is the final course of Peach's Castle in New Super Mario Bros. U and features the final boss of the game, Giant Bowser (with Bowser Jr. in his Junior Clown Car). This level is unlocked via completion of Red-Hot Elevator Ride and its own completion unlocks Superstar Road and the Secret Island. This is the only level in the game that shares the same name with its New Super Luigi U counterpart.

Layout[edit]

Mario fighting Giant Bowser and Bowser Jr.
The final two bosses

The first part of the course is a short section of lava and bridges. Bowser Jr. chases the player in his Junior Clown Car, periodically attempting to drop on their heads and also may try to push them into the lava below if they get too close. The player can dodge the attack by moving out of the way as Bowser Jr. drops, but he destroys any Brick Blocks he hits on the way down. The player cannot harm Bowser Jr. in this section (due to a glass dome over the cockpit of his Junior Clown Car), so they must simply avoid his attacks as they work their way through the course. Throughout the area, Lava Bubbles are found between platforms, and Bony Beetles can be found on some platforms. A Warp Door is found at the end of the area, leading to the second area of the level. To the right of the door are two Hidden Blocks. The one on the top contains a 1-Up Mushroom.

The second area of this level begins with a Checkpoint Flag in front of large green doors that lead to the battle. Two Hidden Blocks on both sides contain a Fire Flower and an Ice Flower. Through the doors is a corridor filled with incoming fireballs breathed by Bowser that leads to Bowser himself. Once the player reaches Bowser through the corridor, both sides of the room are closed off by gates before the battle begins. The first phase greatly resembles the first part of New Super Mario Bros. Wii's final boss: hitting the switch at the other side of the course causes an axe to cut the bridge Bowser is standing on, making him crash into the pit below. After the player moves on to the final part, Bowser Jr. arrives with Magikoopa, who casts a spell to enlarge Bowser.

The final part of the course takes the player to a courtyard overlooked by a tower holding Princess Peach captive. Before the player can reach Princess Peach, they must survive a boss battle with Giant Bowser. Bowser Jr. appears and laughs at the player with Giant Bowser following. He then jumps up and roars at them, signaling the start of the true final battle. Unlike the three previous encounters, the player must directly harm Bowser by stealing Bowser Jr.'s Junior Clown Car and crashing it down on Bowser's head. However, Bowser Jr. cannot be defeated, no matter how many stomps or attacks from the player(s) he has taken, although he can be stunned. The player can then throw Bowser Jr. at Bowser to damage him, although this method is time consuming. The player can also shoot a large amount of fireballs at Bowser or perform Synchro Ground-Pounds (with multiple players) to defeat him. While doing this, they must evade Bowser's enormous fireballs and spinning shell, as well as Bowser Jr.'s diving attacks and dropped Bob-ombs. After three strikes to the head, Bowser is defeated and the game is beaten. Bowser Jr. then looks humiliated, and then jumps down to see Bowser.

Trivia[edit]

  • The music that plays during the first part of this level (as well as the challenge course Ultimate Boost Blast) is a slightly more sinister-sounding arrangement of the Peach's Castle theme, which a part of it also plays in the world map.
  • One second elapses from the timer even after the player lands the final hit on Bowser, meaning they will still get a "Time's Up!" if they have one second on the timer upon defeating Bowser.
