Okay, so I really only have a rough idea of how Bowser's AI works. If Mario's HP is 5/20 or less, Bowser's AI won't ever check to heal himself and I brought a couple of items I need for the sole purpose of not getting hit. If there's other turns Bowser could have used Star Shield where I didn't account for them, I legitimately cannot parse his AI to find out when.
Even if I did catch all of them though, this fight is far from guaranteed. I ended up bringing a Kooky Cookie with me because I needed to be invisible for 3 turns, not 2. So, a second Repel Gel was just not going to cut it. I also just didn't have the space for a third Repel Gel so I essentially had to just make a wish and pray that the Kooky Cookie granted it.
I got it on my first try.
So uh... this strategy is a mere 40% success rate. Make of that what you will. I didn't bring Shooting Stars with me into Chapter 8, but the shop sells them so I was set to make this work. I'd wish I could have come up with something better, but A.) I actually really like how this fight came out and wishing for something else feels like looking a gift horse in the mouth, and B.) I didn't have any time left to come up with anything better.
Also something about it being thematically appropriate using mostly Shooting Stars against a boss we fight in space using wishes against us.
