I got Bowser. He has 26 HP and 12 Defense. But both kinds of attack are higher than usual. I thought Mario was a glass cannon, but he's gotten ridiculous level-ups in everything and has turned into this by level 9:

He is an absolute war machine. The game has gone from "the whole point of an RPG is to not let all 3 team members die" to "I guess I can institute a clause to try and not let the other 2 die for fun". I could fully complete this game, I believe, by just letting everyone else stay at 1 HP after they die and not worry about it because Mario will just tank everything and destroy all else that moves.
And then of course right after I say that, the next boss is a cake I have to attack multiple times per turn to beat. Lovely. On the bright side, my reward for finishing the fight:

Well isn't that nice.
