It would appear that Bowser's Awesome Adventure is in fact the best entry in the series, revealing the true depth of character and heroism one would expect from the enlightened monarch of the Mushroom Kingdom. Not only is King Bowser a truly manly figure who can cleave through any situation with brute force and burning bravado, but he is in fact an inspirational figure to the downtrodden minions who are not permitted to seek residence in the single, solitary Toad Town! It is by his divine will and boundless ambition that so many dedicated Bullet Bills, Goombas, Shy Guys, Monty Moles and many others may be lifted from starvation and poverty.
Bowser's Awesome Adventure has also taken great strides to distance itself from the pox of Partners in Time, casting off the burden of the generic with a dramatic hefting worthy of King Bowser himself. The combat is a bit more challenging and involving with room for experimentation, there is a window for absolute skill beyond merely being awake and the pacing of new challenges is perfect.
They were even kind enough to give the Mario Brothers a cameo piece in Bowser's Amazing Adventure, a magnanimous gesture of respect for the timeless rivals!
