Super Mario Galaxy

Great Bowser's the final boss Again?

When will Nintendo ever learn where Bowser's the final boss of maybe more then 90% of the Mario games, hope there's a TURE final boss other then Bowser in this game
 
90%? Let's test those numbers.

Ultimate Tally of Main Villain Roles in Mario Games

Bowser Is The Main Villain
1. Super Mario Bros.
2. Super Mario Bros. - The Lost Levels
3. Super Mario Bros. 3
4. Super Mario World
5. Yoshi's Safari
6. Mario is Missing
7. Mario's Time Machine
8. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
9. Super Mario 64
10. Tetris Attack
11. Paper Mario
12. Super Mario Sunshine
13. Mario Pinball Land
14. Super Princess Peach
15. New Super Mario Bros.
16. Yoshi's Island DS

Donkey Kong is the Main Villain
1. Donkey Kong
2. Donkey Kong 3
3. Donkey Kong '94
4. Mario vs. Donkey Kong
5. Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2

Wario is the Main Villain
1. Super Mario Land 2
2. Mario and Wario
3. Wario's Woods

Cackeletta is the Main Villain
1. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga

Dimentio is the Main Villain
1. Super Paper Mario

King Boo is the Main Villain
1. Luigi's Mansion

Princess Shroob/Elder Princess Shroob are the Main Villains
1. Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time

Shadow Queen is the Main Villain
1. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Smithy is the Main Villain
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Tatanga is the Main Villain
1. Super Mario Land

Wart is the Main Villain
1. Super Mario Bros. 2


Comparison of all main Mario Games
(Does not include the karts, parties, or sports. Also this list includes the main Mario series only, and not the spinoffs such as Wario and Donkey Kong)

Bowser IS the main villain in: 17 Games
Bowser IS NOT the main villain in: 16 Games

Percentage: 51%

Therefore, Bowser is the main villain 51% of the time. That's barely more than half, and since he is Mario's archenemy, I think that's a fair number.

Still, Nintendo needs to make an new villain for this game
 
Your whole point was that "Bowser is the main villain too often", but I just proved that he ISN'T the main villain almost as often as he is. I see nothing wrong with Bowser being the villain of Super Mario Galaxy.
 
So? Bowser's goal is to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. To do this, he needs the kingdom's ruler, Peach.

It may be cliched, but it makes sense.

I'm someone who grew up with Mario, and for me, "more of the same" is good sometimes. Yeah, I like it when the story writers come up with something new, but at the same time you just can't beat the classics. In closing, I'd rather the Mario series overuse a familiar concept than get too different to the point of no longer being like Mario at all, like the Sonic the Hedgehog series did with their realism and their gunplay in recent years.
 
SWEET!
 
I have one word:

REALLY PWNFUL

Oh, that was two... well, anyway, this looks very great. Too bad that text was written in Japanese.
 
I hope the Kooplings are in it. Also, this doesn't prove that Bowser is the main villian of Galaxy. In Superstar Saga, the main goal seemed to be to get Peach's voice, but it wasn't.
 
Well he will appear, they have artwork for him, I think he and Magikoopa will have a major role, and I hope Petey will not appear!
 
yes there bringing the airships back
they are my favorite part of smb3
this is so gonna be awesome.
I cant wait
 
Anyone see the Paper Mario refrence? >.>

Agreed.
me too, because, lately, other bad guys stole his role as the main villain, besides, the game are more funny with bowser as the villain

well, I want bowser jr, but I want much more the return of the other koopalings, but with the airships, there's a good posibility of their return WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
There's some unwritten law which prevents Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings from ever appearing in the same game. And Nintendo sure loves Bowser Jr. Koopalings PWN Bowser Jr.

Word.

I wonder what Peach held.
The waffle-munching white & nerdy lil' beast!?
 
Excellent! Gotta love the SMB3 references with the Doomships and the Paper Mario reference with lifting Peach's Castle into the sky. (Or in this case outer space).

It may seem like a minor detail, but I just love the fact that you actually control Mario in the opening scene. Yeah, it's only for a bit, but still it just adds a certain element to the game. Especially with all the toads screaming at you when you run by them.

Looks like I better find some dough and quick. November and December is almost here...
 
or at least, annother transformation of bowser (not change of colors), stronger than bowser, but no as strong as giga bowser,
