Super Paper Mario Boss Sheets

After the first two Paper Mario games, the third entry, Super Paper Mario, was more of a platformer with mild RPG elements, based largely on Bowser's short platforming segments in Thousand-Year Door. However, most of the boss and enemy stats are relatively transferable to the battle system of the first two games, and in turn Arpeggio. Some of these bosses rely on gimmicks only possible in real-time instead of turn-based play, so I've done what I can to make them work here.

It turns out that the main difference is that while later bosses in the first two games will have a high basic attack stat even potentially going up to 10, basic collision damage from bosses in this game even right up to the last few might still be as low as 2, and that's what I've usually gone with as their Attack Power stat. Furthermore, while some of them have special attacks that will deal much more in a single hit, it is more common for these bosses to rely on accumulated damage from many small hits, and so they may overall seem underwhelming in Arpeggio terms. Even in Super Paper Mario terms, there is a tendency for these bosses to seem difficult at first, sometimes showering the player with projectiles or moving in dodgy ways, but once you learn their patterns they can come off as too easy. That said, their charm was more in their character, and as always you can write updated sheets for them (which I've actually done here in a couple of cases).

The boss listed here as "Bit Blooper" was actually called "Big Blooper" in the game, but I've renamed it based on its location in the Bitlands, due to potential confusion with other Paper Mario bosses simply named "Blooper" (this one and this one) as well as the generic enemy. Try to keep up.
