How do you hurt bowser without getting hurt? It seems completely inevitable the bombs will hit you and doing it perfect is just luck

This was really frustrating, but the key tips I found that worked was:
Watch for flashing bombs - if they stop rolling and immediately start flashing then run away!
After he throws bombs try to run TOWARDS Bowser as it can cause him to walk slow or not move towards you, making grabbing a safe bomb much easier.

And I'm not sure if it actually helped, but after the first bomb you can pull on his tail and I think it causes him to shoot safe bombs? Unconfirmed, but it was funny doing it anyway.

I settled into a pattern where I just avoided the first two sets of bombs he'd spit after getting back in the suit. It seems like the first ones after that always explode really early, and I was never entirely certain about the second ones. Third set seemed to work out consistently.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize how to grab the bombs. You have to basically be touching the bomb with your vacuum to suck it up, and react fast enough in case it's a dud. I've never played the PAL hidden mansion before, so I thought there was a new gimmick like the other bosses and that's why I couldn't grab the bombs, but it turns out I'm just dumb.

Okay I thought this one was gonna take me forever but it didn't surprisingly!

Things I picked up during this fight:

- If Bowser jumps into the air: DO NOT TRY TO GRAB A BOMB! You can't outrun him with it

- R-Pumping King Boo works wonderfully! Even if you aren't a master, it can still help a lot

- While sucking up King Boo, try to be constantly moving to dodge the ice breath

- While very unlikely, there's a chance that a heart is in a pillar in case you take damage. You'll need 2-3 of them depending on much damage you take

- Really keep an eye on the bombs. Some of them are duds and it will take time to get a feel for which ones aren't. To me, it felt like if Bowser was running towards me, then the bombs were safe. However, I can't confirm this.

It may take a lot of attempts, and that's okay! The more you try, the more you understand and comfortable you become. You got this!

The thing that kept getting me was the fake bombs you kinda got to get a feel for it and hope you dont fall for them outside of that play slow and safe
