On T4 and beyond, the fight is looped with Bobbery's attack and Sweet Treat.
Always heal Mario to 4, Bobbery to 5, and FP as much as possible to use Bob-ombast for more damage.

Either Mario or Bobbery (or both!) will always go into peril when attacked, which provides a net positive SP regen.
(If Mario was healed to full and only Bobbery was attacked each turn -- though this is unlikely -- you may run out of SP, so using Mario's Danger status for star power is useful here)

Bobbery being in peril isn't necessary every (or any) turn, but it is faster. (Bowser is 70/80 weight to hit the front character; 40/80 to hit both, 30/80 to hit the front only, and 10/80 to hit the back only)

SP routing was a lot more interesting for the Bowser fight before I realized you could just use Last Stand on Mario. I was using P-Down D-Up and Unsimplifier before, due to the mental route that I took to arrive at the final strategy I used.

Now, it's just kinda "whatever", but it's still a solid strategy, I would say.
