10 Laziest Super Mario Boss Fights Of All Time

1. All Bosses - Mario Is Missing

Super Mario Bros.
Nintendo

In Mario is Missing!, Bowser has kidnapped Mario and stolen all the world's hairdryers. (Reminder - That is the actual story.) Luigi must travel the world to rescue your brother and locate historic artefacts that are hoarded by Bowser's underlings. On your journey, locals will ask you multiple choice questions on history and iconic landmarks. Basically, Mario is Missing is a geography test disguised as a platformer.

When you complete an area, you must face a Koopaling before moving onto the next section. During these encounters, you need to stomp on the enemy's head as they run from one side of the corridor to the other.

If you're wondering what the bosses' fighting techniques are, they don't have any. Worse still, you don't have to dodge the Koopalings. If they bump into you, nothing happens. Since it is impossible to lose against Bowser's cohorts, I'm not sure if they can classified as bosses.

If you thought Bowser would pose a threat, you'd be wrong. When you reach the end of the game, the King of Koopas is automatically defeated via cutscene. There have been many disappointing bosses throughout the Mario franchise but the enemies in this game are inarguably the laziest.
