'''Shiny RoboBowser''' is an enhanced version of the real-world [[Bowser]] and the true final boss of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. It is a "giant" form of the regular Bowser, combined with the powers of [[Paper Bowser]] and [[Bowser's Minions|his existing paper minions]]. | |||
When [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]], and [[Starlow]] reach up to the real-world Bowser and Paper Bowser, they engage in battle, with the two Bowsers threatening to trap them in the [[mysterious book]] forever and burn it up. During this conversation, they also make mention that they had plenty of time to come up with a "plan." | |||
This comes into fruition once Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario battle the two for some time. The Bowsers tell them what they did was just a "warm-up" and proceed to come up with their ultimate plan.

Eventually, upon Shiny RoboBowser's defeat, the form explodes and causes both the real-world Bowser and Paper Bowser to fall back down to the ground.

Shiny RoboBowser | ==Battle== | ||
One of Shiny RoboBowser's attacks involves clashing his fists a number of times before punching at the Mario Bros. After a few punches, he [[Fire Breath|blows a stream of fire]] at Paper Mario, followed by a giant [[fireball]] that slowly goes across the screen. The player must [[jump]] as soon as the boss punches and shoots a stream of fire and then the fireball towards Paper Mario, or the player receives massive damage and is blown off the screen. The number of times Shiny RoboBowser clashes his fists is the number of times he will hit the Mario Bros. before unleashing the stream of fire towards Paper Mario. | |||
At any given moment when the armor's helmet is active, or whenever Paper Mario uses his [[Trio Attack Hammer]] on the same condition, Shiny RoboBowser | Shiny RoboBowser's next attack involves him leaping offscreen and then landing on the targeted brother, squishing him. The player must [[hammer]] him back to avoid massive damage. The elliptical wind generated is a visual cue that helps the player figure out which target Shiny RoboBowser is landing on. If the player does not hammer at the right time, Shiny RoboBowser smashes one of the Mario Bros., dealing massive damage to the targeted brother and moderate damage to the rest of the party via a shockwave. Hammering him a few times stops the attack. If his armor is intact, Bowser turns his arms into wings and drop-kicks one of the Mario Bros. Pressing the character's button multiple times fends off the attack and damages him. | ||
Shiny RoboBowser can also chase the Mario Bros. by using his paper wings. Paper Mario, as a paper airplane, should avoid the [[Fly Guy]]s as Mario and Luigi jump over the incoming [[Goomba]]s and [[Spiny Shell (red)|Spiny Shell]]s and should grab on to Paper Mario to avoid Bowser's fire breath. If the Fly Guys hit Paper Mario, he is removed for a few seconds, leaving the Mario Bros. exposed to Shiny RoboBowser's fire breath. After a while, Bowser homes in on Mario or Luigi. Jumping on his head deals massive damage to him. | |||
Another one of Shiny RoboBowser's attacks turns his arms into massive [[cannon]]s. He then jumps away and fires a barrage of projectiles; the purple crystal balls fired from his cannons are aimed at the Mario Bros. (the right cannon aimed towards Mario and the left cannon aimed towards Luigi), while the fireballs from his own mouth fly towards Paper Mario. Hammering back the projectiles at the boss damages him. If not, the player suffers major damage and random status effects: The crystal balls inflict [[Dizzy]], and the fireballs can inflict [[Burn]]. | |||
Shiny RoboBowser can also turn his arms into wheels and chase the trio down. As they run, Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario must jump over Goombas and run underneath Fly Guys who will knock them back at the boss and eliminate them from the chase. Shiny RoboBowser also shoots fireballs at them, which has the same effect as the minions. At the end of the road, a [[Chain Chomp]] comes towards the playable characters, who must dodge it to trick it into hitting Shiny RoboBowser, knocking him over and ending the sequence in success. If any of the characters get hit by the Chain Chomp, it is prevented from crashing into Bowser, allowing him to speed up and hit any remaining characters at the end. | |||
At any given moment when the armor's helmet is active, or whenever Paper Mario uses his [[Trio Attack Hammer]] on the same condition, Shiny RoboBowser unleashes his own version of Paper Mario's Trio Attacks, summoning a giant hammer to transform the trio into paper sheets while trapping them in a paper version of the arena. A unique cutscene plays only once when the player selects a Trio Attack in which Shiny RoboBowser will mock the heroes for thinking that their Trio Attack will work, before creating a Trio Attack Hammer of his own to smack Paper Mario's away. During this sequence, Shiny RoboBowser shoots a stream of fire towards any of the three playable characters, and the targeted character must jump to avoid the fire. If his eyes are looking up, Shiny RoboBowser does not breathe fire for a while before shooting at the targeted character, causing the player to lose timing. Jumping too early or jumping as a different character attracts the boss's attention, who releases the fire on them after they jump. If any character still remains after the fire attacks, Shiny RoboBowser gets frustrated and unleashes a body slam on all remaining characters. If all characters jump at the right moment, they avoid damage. Regardless of whether the Mario Bros. were able to dodge the attack or not, Starlow appears once it has finished to point out that Shiny RoboBowser's helmet flashed when he used his Trio Attack, and to inform the Mario Bros. to save their Trio Attacks until the helmet has been destroyed. | |||
While the helmet of his armor is active, Shiny RoboBowser is considered a shiny paper enemy; as such, fire attacks deal critical damage to his armor. However, when his helmet is destroyed, he counts as a normal enemy, thereby taking normal damage from all attacks until his armor is regenerated. | While the helmet of his armor is active, Shiny RoboBowser is considered a shiny paper enemy; as such, fire attacks deal critical damage to his armor.
