Super Mario Remix: Boss Edition is basically a love letter to Mario boss fights—35 of them, mixing classics with some fresh ones. No fluff, just back-to-back showdowns where every hit counts. You’ll recognize a few faces, but don’t get too comfortable—even the old ones have tricks up their sleeves.

At first, I kept jumping on bosses like it was regular Mario, only to get wrecked when they shook me off mid-recovery. Turns out, you’ve gotta time those stomps just right or bail before they counter. The item shop’s a lifesaver, though. Grab a mushroom early unless you enjoy dying in one hit (spoiler: you won’t).

Between fights, there’s a handful of minigames to break things up, but let’s be real—you’re here for the bosses. Some take patience, others feel like a frantic scramble, but they all nail that “just one more try” itch. If you ever wanted a Mario game that’s all killer, no filler, this is it.
