MAP26: Bowser in the Black Abyss is the twenty-sixth map of Super MAYhem 17. It was designed by Michael Fraize (Marcaek) and rd, and initially uses the Bowser's Castle music track from Mario Kart 64, originally composed by Kenta Nagata, and remixed and sequenced to MIDI by Jarel Jones. During the boss fight, the music track changes to a MIDI rendition of "Bowser's Rage," originally composed by Yako Tsujiyoko for Paper Mario.

Secrets[edit]

  1. Look around you at the start and find a pool of blood next to a fence. This indicates that you can walk through the fence. Attempt to do so and you will teleport to a new area. There is a megasphere here along with a BFG9000 (several on one location so you get more ammo for it). There will be several arch-viles and a cyberdemon to here as well. (sector 441)
  2. At the red key area, go towards the switch, then look at the south wall. Press along it until you discover another switch, then use that one to open a wall at the base of where the red key is. You will find a soul sphere, but look out for the arachnotron that teleports in. (sector 581)
