The use of Fountain of Dreams is also a key factor in the Bowser Challenge's high difficulty. As previously mentioned, the team of Bowsers can easily fill the stage with hitboxes, and the stage's small size also ensures that the challenger cannot camp, perform hit-and-run tactics, or spam against the Bowsers. Even if players can somehow find a method to camp against the Bowsers on the stage, the lack of a time limit prevents either team from using a [[time out]] for victory. Fountain of Dreams also features a deceptively high upper blast line, and in combination with Bowser's high weight, the player can only use the left, right, and bottom blast lines to KO him. | The use of Fountain of Dreams is also a key factor in the Bowser Challenge's high difficulty.

Provided that the Bowser players are semi-competent, the Bowser Challenge is seen as being effectively impossible to win for the challenger, and its level of difficulty can be seen even amongst top professional smashers. | Provided that the Bowser players are semi-competent, the Bowser Challenge is seen as being effectively impossible to win for the challenger, and its level of difficulty can be seen even amongst top professional smashers. At one tournament, {{Sm|Ken Hoang}} in his prime was unable to get a single KO in the challenge, and at the same tournament, {{Sm|Captain Jack}}, who came the closest to completing the challenge as {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}, only managed to get 4 KOs. | ||
No record exists verifying a player as having won a legitimate Bowser Challenge. The current, verifiable record for the challenge is 6 KOs out of a potential 12, performed by {{Sm|A Rookie}} with {{SSBM|Mario}} in one of Ken's livestreams on [[Twitch]]; this performance, however, was bolstered by 3 SDs from the Bowsers. | No record exists verifying a player as having won a legitimate Bowser Challenge.
