Bowser's Kingdom
Bowser kingdom information
Bowser's Kingdom is the second-to-last kingdom of the main story. It is one of the most linear kingdoms in the game, consisting of a series of floating islands connected by spark pylons. While in Bowser's Kingdom for the first time, the player is unable to leave the kingdom until the RoboBrood boss at the end is defeated. In this kingdom, Bowser reveals the existence of the true final kingdom of the main story, the Moon Kingdom.
Terrifying Gatekeepers
Don't run afoul of the Stairface Ogres that guard this kingdom. When they spot an intruder, they bring their huge mallets down, no questions asked. On the other hand, you have to admire their tenacity and work ethic. The scars on their faces show they don't give up easily.
Beautiful Tile Work
This kingdom's architecture is unique. Roofs are made of heavy, layered tiles that will not budge even if walked upon. They also create a uniformity in the overall design, enhancing the beauty of the palace.
Though you can move along the roofs, this palace rests quite high in the sky, and if you fall off, you will most definitely die. It's not the surest footing either, so be careful.
Statues Guard the Court
The palace tower highlights the inner citadel, and the gate leading to it is guarded by fearsome statues.
The statues are fashioned after gods of wind and thunder, the perfect motif for a sky palace, and since they are modelled on Bowser, the ruler of this kingdom, they serve as a warning to foes here and abroad.
Impressive Fortifications
Surrounding the inner citadel are the second and third courts. The second court is specially fortified, with many cannons to repel invaders. Cannonballs often roll along the ground, and many tourists fall trying to evade them. Try not to get too close!
An Oasis of Calm
This elegant garden is a balm for the brutality of this kingdom and will help you forget all the hardships you faced to reach it. You can even buy souvenirs, so be sure you stop by!
The Hole Thing
All along the walls, these holes were meant to allow defenders to shoot at invaders, but nowadays you're more likely to find a demon or a snake coming out than an arrow.
