How, it's the same as the first 2 other than a little quicker reaction...Wellbe6 said:
Let me clarify on my reasoning (I voted Bowser, btw):
Piranha Plant: it's overly simple, though the easiest to make a stupid mistake with the B button (grab/release). The tactic for 3rd life point is stay in a corner when the seeds come up, and stay there until a seed is spat at you. Grab it, and then the usual.
Hammer Bro: be wary of irresponsive DS screen, that's it. (The most pushover-y "battle". It would be better if the sequence was 3, 5, 7)
Dry Bones: too much luck involved to get a short time. Dry Bones isn't very intelligent either, and the third life point leaf that blocks a button in the top screen is useless...
Kamek: the first 60-70 seconds are a waste of my time. Battle strategy against the Magikoopa himself is OK, but I hate waiting for the books to clear my path (they can hurt you, those books when Kamek stomps like crazy after being inked).
Bowser: the only true boss battle. The first form's time can be cut to around 1/3rd at the cost of 1HP (I won't say, though). Second form is the hardest to pull off without 5 seconds of waste. Third form looks hard, but can be done in one swoop at the cost of 1HP again. Though if you're a conservative player, Bowser's strategies let you exploit that too.
So yeah, Bowser is the best boss for legitimacy as a battle against a boss. =P

Dry Bones, a free form boss battle. I may have liked Bowser's more if it sort of related to his board more, if that makes sense.
I voted for Kamek.
I liked the final 3 bosses. The first two were too easy.
Topics merged.
^From a new player's point of view, Feed and Seed is probably too hard of a first boss, with the concept of using B to grab then release bomb seeds.
However, I would say that only Bowser provides somewhat of a challenge (mainly snake form), since Hexoskeleton is a pushover since Dry Bones can't attack you in most playthroughs, while Book Bash is a minute of time wasting followed by lacklustre tactics by Kamek.

Yeah, I don't get why they included the chase part of the library. It's a waste of time. I just wanted to get the boss over with.
I enjoyed the fights between Dry Bones, the Piranha Plant, and Bowser. Dry Bones' battle was very open and it was fun to run around him. The piranha plant battle was actually quite interesting as the battle was quite unique. Reminded me of Balloon Fighter in terms of how the characters were supporting themselves. Finally, Bowser's battle was very fun and challenging (to some extent). I do agree that it was weird for him to turn into blocks, but the battle still ended up being fun to some point.
Dry Bones and Bowser were my favorite bosses. The ways to defeat them were simple.
Dry Bones and Bowser for me. Anything that is free roam is pretty cool. Kamek was also pretty good, flying through bookshelves and whatnot. 
Piranha Plant - Button-mashing is unacceptable.
Hammer Bro. - He's my favorite character, who has the easiest boss minigame in MPDS.
Dry Bones - Voted, because... he's cool. His boss minigame is somewhat creative too.
Kamek - I hated his board. The gimmick course before the battle is a waste of time. The battle itself? It's so-so.
Bowser - Seen him everywhere...
So I voted for Hammer Bro and Dry Bones.

Piranha Plant: Who made this minigame? This minigame is unacceptable for a first boss minigame!
Hammer Bro: I am pretty good at memorizing, so I like his boss battle!
Dry Bones: I liked that you need to use magic to defeat him.
Kamek: Obstacle course is too hard, but the battle is just meh.
Bowser: I hate his snake form, but other than that, it is decent.
I prefer MP4 boss battles more than these, though.

I liked Dry Bones the best cause' you could distract him before he killed you! I still like bosses in general. O0
My favorite DS boss is Kamek. I really don't like any other bosses in Mario Party DS.
I loved all of the boss battle minigames in Mario Party DS.
Dry Bones as the others are either hard or easy or boring.
Piranha Plant: Did not know what to do at first. Thought you had to grab it and quickly toss it down while he was spiting them back out. Boss was so-so.
Hammer Bro: Easy until last pattern. Totally was first boss material.
Dry Bones: You having to run around and use magic to destroy the boss was more different and creative and was cool. (Love how he falls apart at the end.)
Kamek: ? at obstacle course... Easily destroyed him when I get to him... Major dificulty spikes... equals least favorite boss.
Bowser: Destroying the first two forms is easy but the final form...dang. Why would Bowser want to turn himself into a tile anyway. All Mario needs to do is run up, grab him, and toss him on the floor. It would be: *smash* one heart gone *smash* two hearts gone *smash* boss defeated. Problem solved.
Ranking:
1. Dry Bones
2. Hammer Bro
3. Bowser
4. Piranha Plant
5. Kamek

Feed and Seed was so freaking hard for me when I first got it,
Hammer Chime was too easy,
But I liked the other 3. Hexoskeleton was also easy but I liked the Free Roaming, Book Bash was somewhat challenge and Bowser's Block Party was fun.
