Is Boom Boom present in the fortresses, or did they replace him with someone else?
Boom Boom go bye-bye. Here's how the boss structure works. There are 20 boss fights in total. Each world has a Koopa Kid allocated to it. You fight the Koopa Kid in the mid-map fortress first, and then when you beat them they jump away and run off to the castle at the end of the map. When you get to the castle and encounter them again, Kamek appears and flies over, dropping magic dust over the room. This then makes something weird happen: either the platforms will start moving or half of them will go missing or something like that. As well as this, most of the Koopa Kids will change their fighting style the second time around so the same tactics won't work. Some of you using your maths skills will realise that eight worlds with two boss fights in each doesn't come to 20, but that's because there are a few extra ones that I'm not revealing.
If you recall, the original New Super Mario Bros. had 19 bosses. Structure breakdown in terms of worlds:
World 1: 2 (Bowser Jr, boss)
World 2: 2 (Bowser Jr, boss)
World 3: 2 (Bowser Jr, boss)
World 4: 2 (Bowser Jr, boss)
World 5: 2 (Bowser Jr, boss)
World 6: 3 (Two Bowser Jrs, boss)
World 7: 2 (Bowser Jr, boss)
World 8: 4 (Bowser Jr, boss, Bowser Jr, final boss)
In all, that's ten different Bowser Jr. battles, Bowser, Mummipokey, Cheepskipper, Mega Goomba, Petey Piranha, Monty Tank, Lakithunder, Dry Bowser, and the Bowser+Bowser Jr. team-up at the end of the game.

If there's one game I'm excited for, it's this one. I'm glad to see that there's a pretty decent number of boss fights. Hopefully some of them will be intense.
The towers and castles will have the Koopa Kid battles, but the rematches apparently have an added twist. No word of any other kinds of bosses yet; Dry Bowser sure was a unique boss, and brought back memories.
I'm going to create a official thread a couple of weeks before the game officially launches and probably combine all of threads into one or just make one from my knowledge including facts, screens , and gameplay videos.
