Bosses are like milestones in the Paper Mario games. They are usually guarding one of Mario's objectives such as Star Spirits, Crystal Stars, Pure Hearts, Royal Stickers, Big Paint Stars, or Steamers. At the end of each world, there is a boss. Bosses usually have a large number of hit points (hp), defense, and attack power. Sometimes, a boss can also appear mid-way in a level/chapter. There will also be Mini-Boss, which are stronger then a normal enemy but weaker then a boss. They will become stronger as the Players progress through the game. In the case with Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Paper Mario: Color Splash, some bosses require certain thing cards or stickers to be defeated, there are also optional Bosses called Super Bosses, which are stronger then the final boss.
Note: Bosses labeled in basic letters are mini-bosses, bosses labeled in Bold are the primary boss and bosses labeled in both Bold and Italics are optional bosses.
