2001: A Mario Odyssey

Well I did it, I got everything.
 
I kind of don't see the point in getting every single moon aside from bragging rights. *shrug*

Is there a limit to buying moons?
 
I did it all to get
the harder version of the final boss

And no, there isn't.
 
What's the harder version like? Is it just "if you get hit once, you must pay a fee"?
 
Same fight but how he attacks varies a bit and he moves quicker, your health is unchanged.
 
Why is there even a harder version? That should've been the default. The first final (oxymoron lol) fight with Bowser is very, very predictable and pretty underwhelming to the point I'd compare it to Galaxy 2's fight.

I mean, he has, like, only four different attacks: throw hats and *bleep* at you, stomp like an idiot with easily-avoided fire rings, breathe fire in a circle. When you approach him, he can tail swipe you. It feels more like an effing Mario Party game, except with even less attacks compared to Mario Party 5's Frightmare. And he can spawn a heart or two if you ever oopsie-daisy.
 
I thought it was a good fight myself, just hampered by it being a more difficult version of what came before, which is why I feel Bowser should only ever be fought once at the end
 
They did a good job setting the mood and tension and aesthetics, but I think the fight itself fell short. Still, it's fun boxing Bowser in the crotch.
 
Oh yes, after all the crap he puts Mario through the whole game it felt pretty cathartic.
