Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Fighter's Intuition (Defeated the Glitz Pit champion Rawk Hawk in a fight), Accelerated Development (Bobbery became powerful enough to surpass himself when he had the Crystal Stars, which were used to weaken the Shadow Queen. In which no character was able to deal any damage to her. As shown in the Bonetail battle, Bobbery no longer needs them to harm someone who's above The Shadow Queen. Bonetail was stated by Goombella to be stronger than the Shadow Queen. And added with his better stats, it makes a lot of sense. Prior to that, Mario and co. couldn't harm the Armored Harriers at all, even losing the battle. Up until Mini-Yoshi came, they were able to defeat them, twice. The cast was then able to defeat the rest of the Glitz Pit fighters, each one being ranked higher than the other. They were able to defeat Bowser, who was able to one-shot Rawk Hawk, a previous boss. Shadow Peach [the Shadow Queen's weaker form], one-shots Grodus, another previous boss. Mario and co. also survives that exact attack), Social Influencing (By either using Appeal or Stylish Moves, Bobbery can cheer up an entire audience. Even to those who initially wanted her hurt or dead are charmed), Explosion Manipulation (With Bomb, Bobbery can blow himself up towards a enemy.

"If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon," Miyamoto said. "They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games."
