Ever played a great video game and was dissapointed by the final boss in that game? I was playing Wario World, an it is an awesome game, but too short. However, when I fought the final boss, he was too easy. I defeated him without even dying, and I died a LOT in Wario World.
Bowser in every Mario game since Mario 3, really, but I think I remember Miyamoto or someone saying that they treat bosses more as rewards for players rather than ultimate challenges, which is fair enough. I may be confusing that quote with some other game designer, but even if so, the concept certainly applies.
The worst would be Mother Brain in Super Metroid though. It was exciting the first time because of all the cinematics and such, but the complete lack of any challenge is a let down after finishing the original Metroid and this final showdown is more disappointing every time I play it since the surprise is gone, which all that the scene had going for it.
Not Little King's Story, that's for sure!!! Awesome!
Worst... ergh... Super Mario Sunshine. I love that game and getting to the boss in that lil boat was really cool but, Bowser in the Bath?! Why?!
I never actually played that game to the end. So, Mario jumped Bowser when he was in the bathtub? Did he just drop a toaster in the water?
No, though that's what he should've done, and saved the player the absolutely terrible boss fight. And get this: Peach and Bowser Jr. were taking a bath with Bowser.
@The Fox: No, he punched lots of Bullet Bill's back at him, of course. I think anyway, I'm trying to block it out you see. I do believe there were bath toys as well. Bowser is h-core! But not in the bath.

I always disliked Super Mario Sunshine. I never reached Bowser, but I laughed when I read this. What was Nintendo thinking!?
"Ha ha ha! The water's great, eh Junior?" "Mario, how dare you disturb my family vacation! Caw caw!" "WAAAAAH!!" "Junior, I've got something...difficult to tell you about Princess Peach." "That's my boy! Well put, son. The royal Koopa line is as strong as ever! But for now, let's just rest awhile." The one true voice of Bowser. Seriously, how much did they pay the guy to write his lines? And what about the guy who had to voice them? $10? Nah, knowing them, probably closer to $5.
