Unsurprsingly, this has made some others fall flat.
Below we takes a look at the the best bosses inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Smorg
Smorg is an easy-to-forget boss who appears at Riverside Station.
He just kind of pops up, and there’s nothing really to him.
It’s an evil smokestack with a rather easy boss fighter.
He can hit heavy with his tentacles, which you must work on taking down.
Once his tentacles are gone, you might go for the main body.
Magnus von Grapple
Magnus Von Grapple is the goofy evil robot boss of the game.
He appears in Chapter 2, and is piloted by Lord Crump.
While the Xnuats are the main enemy of the game, they generally aren’t the favorites.
Hooktail
Hooktail is the boss of Chapter 1 and sets the tone for the game.
Hooktail is the start of a family trio of dragons that you will fight throughout the game.
Hooktail is the first and one of the best bosses inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Lord Crump
Lord Crump steals Cortez’s thunder in Chapter 5.
Crump is an annoying boss as he comes with minions.
The minions will heal him, so you will need to take them out before dealing with him.
Lord Crumps, battle catches you off guard as the game makes out like Cortez is the true boss.
After you try returning to Roguepoint thought, Lord Crump will cut you off.
Sir Grodus
Sir Grodus is the obvious big bad of the game.
Ultimately, to beat him with ease, players must do well with multi-bounce and use healing items.
Shadow Queen
The Shadow Queen is the true boss of the game and a fun fight.
Even more annoying is her ability to raise her stats and then use Shadow Wave.
At her peak, she can do a staggering 17 points of damage to Mario and his partner.
This makes her one of the best bosses inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Rawk Hawk (Macho Grubba)
Rawk Hawk is part of a two-part battle with Macho Grubba.
From the player’s entrance at the Glitz Pit Rawk Hawk is front and center.
He is the loud and proud heavy weight champion of the arena.
In battle, he becomes even better as he’s completely willing to fight dirty.
While this is usually seen as annoying in boss battles, players love him.
Rawk Hawk is easily one of the best bosses inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Doorand the fan-favorite.
Doopliss
Doopliss is a sheet ghost with a party hat on, and he is horrifying.
Doopliss is based in Twilight Town and lives inside Creepy Steeple, which both live up to their name.
When he’s defeated, he even joins up with the Siren Sisters for a rematch.
During this, he can turn into Mario’s partners, making him an even tougher boss.

Bonetail is the game’s hidden boss at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials.
Players who want to 100% the game and get all the badges must defeat him.
