10 Video Game Bosses Beaten By Their Own Arenas
3. Bowser (Super Mario Bros.)
Instead of spitting fireballs in the general direction of Mario from about 10,000 metres away, a better plan for Bowser would have been to simply use that handily placed axe to cut the drawbridge down himself as soon as his dungareed-doomsayer approached.
Perhaps he'd just had it refinished or something. Why else would he limply stand there, allowing Mario to vault over his bonce and deliver him straight into the lava below? And moreover, eight sodding times?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me an octence? It's no wonder he got his kids to do his dirty work by Mario 3, having brushed off one scorched spike too many.
