Bowser's Tank Terror is one of ten boss minigames in Mario Party 10. It is featured as the final boss minigame, being featured in Chaos Castle; after the player clears the board, the minigame can be selected for free play. Bowser appears as the players' opponent here, hence the name.
Introduction[]
The characters are shown piloting four tanks matching their respective colours. Bowser is lifted up into the battlefield with a larger, purple tank as he laughs evilly.
Gameplay[]
This minigame is unique due to the gameplay changing drastically when Bowser loses half his health.
Phase 1[]
Bowser initially attacks by firing shots from his tank and spinning with flame jets. The characters have to retaliate by shooting Bowser's tank with bombs fired from theirs. Each hit deals 1 point of damage. Super Mushrooms float into the arena via Bubble, granting their wielder an attack boost (two points per strike) while lowering the wielder's speed. Any character that gets hit in big form will revert back to their normal size, losing two points.
For every 12.5% of his health bar Bowser loses, one flame jet is disabled for the rest of the game. However, at 75% HP, Bowser will gain a charging attack.
Upon losing half his health, Bowser's tank blows up and he falls into the lava north of the arena as the characters head to set positions along the middle row. A cutscene then plays showing Dry Bowser emerging from the lava, which the characters find to their horror.
Phase 2[]
Dry Bowser attacks by breathing blue fireballs and throwing bones. He can also jump out of range of the characters' attacks and bombard the stage with fireball meteors. Dry Bowser can redirect the Super Mushrooms' movement with his fireballs, while his bone attack knocks the mushrooms out of the arena entirely.
Ending[]
Upon reaching zero health, Dry Bowser clutches his stomach in pain while a light inside his torso glows.
Trivia[]
- Whether Dry Bowser is another mecha piloted by Bowser himself or actually Bowser transformed is unknown.
- This is the only boss minigame where the icon changes.
