Mega Baby Bowser, also known as Big Baby Bowser,[1] is an enormous form Baby Bowser takes in many platformers in the Yoshi franchise. He often serves as the final boss of a game.
Mega Baby Bowser's size has stayed roughly the same across the franchise, and the method used to enlarge him always occurs when Baby Bowser is in a life-threatening situation. For example, in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Kamek enlarges Baby Bowser following his failure to stop Yoshi.
History[edit]
Yoshi's Island series[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]
Big Baby Bowser debuts in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as the true final boss in said game and its Game Boy Advance version. He is fought after defeating Baby Bowser right before Kamek casts a spell on him. The final battle takes place on the remains of the room; at the beginning, Big Baby Bowser sends debris down to destroy part of the ground. During this phase, Big Baby Bowser attacks by breathing fireballs at Yoshi, advancing from the background. If Big Baby Bowser gets too close to the castle, the ground will be destroyed, instantly defeating Yoshi. The player must grab the Giant Eggs that Baron von Zeppelins carry onto the stage and throw them into the background at Big Baby Bowser to knock him back. After enough hits, he simply charges forward, and after seven hits, he is defeated, returned to his normal size, and knocked out; it is possible to land this last hit even if his charge destroys the ground Yoshi is standing on, resulting in a slightly different final cutscene. Afterward, Kamek reappears and vows revenge before flying off with Baby Bowser. Yoshi then sprints up to the Stork and Baby Luigi, freeing them both and allowing the Stork to deliver the babies to their parents.
Baby Bowser sports three fingers on each hand during the final battle, despite his adult self having four. This error is corrected in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, which redraws his sprites to add a fourth finger; appearances in other games also depict Baby Bowser with the proper number of fingers.
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
Although not fought in Yoshi's Island DS, Big Baby Bowser makes an appearance alongside the other castle bosses in the game as the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island are recapped during the game's introduction.
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
Mega Baby Bowser appears in Yoshi's New Island as the true penultimate boss of the game in a battle reminiscent of his battle in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, though more similar to the battle with Giant Bowser in New Super Mario Bros. U. Mega Baby Bowser's is a higher-pitched version of his future son's voice, as evidenced further from the battle. His appearance, when giant, uses his future self's body, while his head is based on his giant form in the original Yoshi's Island. After he is defeated, the stork and Baby Luigi are rescued. However, if the Yoshis never used the Flutter Wings, his future self appears out of nowhere, making Yoshi and Baby Mario battle him before they can do so.
Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]
Mega Baby Bowser is the true final boss in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World and is fought after defeating Baby Bowser before uses the power of the Wonder Wool to make him transform into Mega Baby Bowser, where he once again has a similar voice to his future son. To defeat him, Yoshi must unravel giant yarn balls to get three medium-sized yarn balls each, then throw them at the eight giant, glowing, magenta Wonder Wools circling around Mega Baby Bowser. The game ends when Yoshi successfully defeats Mega Baby Bowser, and the Wonder Wools finally unravels from him, causing all of the single-color-and-white Yoshis to return back to normal.
Prior to this battle, Kamek increases Baby Bowser's size slightly during the final phase of the Baby Bowser battle, allowing him to stomp in a way that creates a Lava Geyser on either side of him. After it wears off, he shrinks back to normal and can be trapped by yarn balls again.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
Mega Baby Bowser returns in Yoshi's Crafted World, where he is fought after defeating the robot that was created for Baby Bowser through his wish before Kamek uses the Sundream Stone's Power. This time, Mega Baby Bowser wears a crown hiding the Sundream Stone and has a slot machine-esque armor which appears to show the health he has. After being defeated, Mega Baby Bowser shrinks back down to normal Baby Bowser.
