Power Platform

The Power Platform is an arena Bowser used during the final fight in Paper Mario. It is powered by Kammy Koopa's evil magic. This was Bowser's last chance at defeating Mario and his teammates, even after Team Mario showed up with the rescued Star Spirits. Using this Platform, Bowser was able to prevent Team Mario's Star Beam from hitting him and negating the effects of the Star Rod, that is, until the Star Beam was upgraded to Peach Beam. After Team Mario defeated Bowser and recovered the Star Rod, the Platform and Bowser's Castle were both destroyed.
