Bowser's Block Battle

In this epic battle, hold the Wii Remote sideways and press 2 to hoist and throw oversized dice around a small, confined area. Your goal is to make your character’s portrait pop up on as many dice as possible before time runs out. The more of your portraits you cause to appear, the more damage you’ll deal to Bowser and the more points you’ll earn in return!

Of course, your rivals will be trying to accomplish the same feat. Don’t let them! Toss any dice you see that have your rivals’ portraits on them to mess up their game and potentially earn more points for yourself if your portrait pops up. See how much damage you can inflict to that big bossy brute each turn!

Once all of the dice are locked in place, damage is quickly tallied and dealt to Bowser. The monstrous meanie then counterattacks by spitting out one volley of sizeable fireballs for every die that showed a freaky Bowser logo. Stand far away from Bowser and dart between his fireballs to dodge them and avoid being singed—you’ll lose a point if one hits you!

Bowser flips out after you drain half his health. The big brute now shakes the board to make things more difficult, and he tosses out a giant die each turn that sports portraits of bosses from previous boards.

Whichever boss pops up on the die soon materializes to wreak havoc on you and your peers. Play defense until the summoned boss takes off, then get back to busting on Bowser!

Wiggler: This boss stomps all around the arena in a rage. Stay out of his way to avoid being trampled!

King Bob-omb: This boss causes it to rain bombs all about. Keep moving and steer clear of those tiny shadows that signal inbound explosives!

King Boo: This boss summons two separate rings of rotating Boos that quickly expand to snatch your points. Flee to a corner, then quickly dart back to the center to skirt the Boos as they wind near!

Blooper: This boss furiously hurls prickly Urchins every which way. Treat this barrage just like Bowser’s fireballs: Stay near the foreground to give yourself more time to dodge!

Chain Chomp: This boss hops around in straight lines, crossing the arena with scary speed. Keep your distance to avoid being rammed!
