You're right about it being hard, I got to Bowser's castle with 3 Hammer Bros. suits left. If I lost my suit, I'd lose a life and try again. On my last suit remaining, I finally got to Bowser. My older brother watched with amazement as I plowed through the castle on my turn without taking damage. (Keep in mind that I'm 17 and have been playing Mario games my whole life.)Anyway, we wondered if it would be possible to harm Bowser in any other way than him killing himself. So I hit him with a hammer and my bro said give up, nothing happened and I said "Wait, I think I heard a sound when I hit him." So I threw two more hammers right before losing my suit and he died.
Getting to Bowser was much easier with the Tanooki suit because you could destroy almost anything that got in your way by falling on it as a statue. Alas, I only had one left and lost it right at Bowser cause I didn't jump high enough. I guess I'll find out if that works the next time my bro and I play through the whole game.
