Games where the henchman becomes the final boss.

I loved dimentio's story and characters. It's a shame the final fight was rather easy.

Yakuza 5. Both the final boss and top antagonist

Dimentio was way more sinister than Fawful

Pretty sure Cackletta was the final boss in SSS. Can't speak to the later games (never played em). Fawful is cool though

The Final Boss theme is so good.

It was passable, but it had enough flaws to feel alien even as a Mario RPG (ignoring combat entirely).
For one, the game took place literally in another world with characters with no analog to what the franchise as a whole is familiar with, so you lost that sense of worldliness that you could derive from SMRPG, Paper Mario, and TTYD. The characters could have passed as familiar species with some deviations that are meant to be an "other" (such as the X-nauts) but I digress.
A shame that it was the last to make any attempts at being original, but it's as if SPM was trying so hard with character designs that they actively regressed and went 100% with toads from then onward.
