* PostDefeatExplosionChain: Upon defeat, every boss in the game, except for Wendy O. Koopa, Magikoopa, and Chargin' Chuck, gets covered in explosions appearing randomly throughout their sprites. Reasonable enough for the remaining Koopalings and the EliteMook Koopa Troopas, who all pilot mechs, but this even applies to non-machine bosses, such as Big Boo and Bowser himself.
