The MegaBug (or Megadragonbowser) is the antagonist and the final boss of the game Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. It was created on accident while the heroes were trying to reverse the damage Bowser Jr. caused with Spawny.

Profile

Physical description

MegaBug's intro as Megadragonbowser.

The MegaBug has two forms that it shifts between.

While in its regular form, The MegaBug looks very strange, possessing yellow-brown-red molten wings and a small head with the same color.

When its essence fuses with Bowser, the MegaBug becomes the "MegaDragonBowser". This form sees it as similar to Bowser, but with its standard form's wings sprouting from the back and glowing yellow eyes. He is striated with circuitry patterns.

Powers and abilities

While the MegaBug alone is seen as a very weak and skinny creature that won't ever win a fight by itself, as seen after it's done possessing Bowser and it doesn't have a fighting chance against Mario and his friends, it is basically capable of doing everything because of being able to possess people, and in addition, it can also fly, which is an advantage when possessing.

After fusing with Bowser, it becomes extremely powerful, with the ability to fly, along with Bowser's other skills, such as shell-spinning and fire breathing.

Biography

Spoiler warning : Don't you even dare read the spoiler! Because if you do… Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoooooo… A horrible fate awaits you.

Kingdom Battle

The Megabug is an abomination created partially from the mutated DNA of the Rabbids.

During the events of its battle between Mario and his team, they defeated Megabug.

Sparks of Hope

Despite being defeated, a fragment of the Megabug remained floating through the galaxy. It merged with the stellar debris and mutated again. It regained its feelings with a desire to grow. It fed on life energies from the galaxy which became Cursa.

In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

MegaBug appears as the final boss of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. It's encountered in Lava Pit at Bowser's Castle.

Battle

The MegaDragonBowser battle has three phases and 4,800 hit points. During the first phase, it will be surrounded by four Lava Valkyries. Its attacks include the following:

1. Taking flight and attacking one character with a stream of small fireballs from its hand, similar to a Rumblebang; these shots can destroy Mega Blocks and inflict the Burn status.
2. Activating a line-of-sight technique that allows it to shoot a character if they move between its turns.
3. Drawing characters towards its position, similar to Rabbid Mario's Magnet Dance.
4. Slamming onto the ground, creating a shockwave that damages and blows back anyone in range. Destroys Mega Blocks in range as well.

After its health bar's reduced to two-thirds the total, MegaDragonBowser enters phase two and takes to the air. It immediately bombards the battlefield with fireballs, inflicting 20 HP damage and a Burn on any characters in their path and leaving scorched craters where they land. After summoning four Lava Bucklers near the middle of the arena, it will spend the rest of this phase flying around the sides of the battlefield and raining fireballs on the craters, as well as using a protection technique to reduce damage to its minions by taking a fraction of the damage itself. The heroes must attack MegaDragonBowser to deplete its HP again, but dealing with the Bucklers first is highly advised.

Once it's down to its final third of its stamina, MegaDragonBowser enters phase three. MegaDragonBowser returns to the arena (being once again vulnerable to line-of-sight attacks while it moves) and uses its melee smash on the center as it lands. As four Lava Smashers spawn around its position, it now attacks with Whirling Fortress and shields itself on the heroes' turn (raising its defense to infinite). To harm the boss, the heroes must lure it into spinning at the metal blocks around the arena - impact with a block will shatter it and stun MegaDragonBowser for a turn.

Once the heroes drain its stamina MegaDragonBowser is defeated. The MegaBug and Bowser separate, and the former attempts one final attack against the heroes to hold onto its control of the kingdom, but the heroes respond with an offensive of their own, allowing them to destroy the aberration for good.

In Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

The Megabug makes cameo appearances in Sparks of Hope as weapon skins for characters' weapons.

Before the final boss fight takes place, Jeanie mentions its name through the story when she explains what happened to Rosalina and Cursa.

Etymology

The MegaBug may have earned his name how he resembles a computer glitch.

Trivia

• Despite its small amount of screen time in the game, The MegaBug is one of the most evil Mario Villains ever along with Dimentio and the Luigi's Mansion version of King Boo, as it has a desire to destroy everything and is responsible for everything bad that happened in the game.
