10 Most Underrated Nintendo 64 Boss Battles

7. Koopa Bros. - Paper Mario

Paper Mario is an immensely entertaining role-playing game which sees Mario battle his way across the vast plains of Mushroom Kingdom and beyond in order to rescue his beloved Princess Peach.

Although this isn't the first time Mario has gone from being a platform game to an RPG (Super Mario RPG - 1996), it is certainly the first reimagining of the Mario world consisting entirely out of paper.

Overcome with the need to find the Seven Star Spirits and rescue Princess Peach from Bowser's grasp, Mario enters The Koopa Fortress which had been overtaken by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle wannabes - The Koopa Bros.

In a desperate attempt to scare Mario, these clumsy Koopas create their own mechanical Bowser out of wood and various bits of trash.

After easily defeating the fake Bowser, the Koopa bros. fall out of the mechanical suit and show off their attacking prowess in a synchronised spinning move.

As powerful as this move is, the turtles are vulnerable when knocked on their backs leaving the satisfying job to slowly pick them off one by one with your newly acquired sidekick - Bombette.

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
