In the game's intro, Bowser, along with his Koopalings, invade the Mushroom Kingdom in their airships. Bowser's ship then uses a mechanical hand to grab Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad who are having tea with Princess Peach and fling them out of the castle.
Afterward, he invades Peach's Castle. The first part of his battle is similar to Super Mario Bros. This causes the axe to fall and make the bridge collapse, making Bowser fall. The gate then opens and Mario moves on. When Mario reaches the top of the castle, Peach is being held up in the tower. After this, Bowser Jr. In order to defeat them, the player must jump on Bowser Jr. This allows the player to jump in and hover over Bowser to harm him.
Like the Koopalings, he curls into his shell and spins around when hit. He is defeated after being hit three times by the Clown Car. After beating him, he falls off of the castle as Bowser Jr. At the end, the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. Bowser notices and climbs on, but his weight causes the airship to crash. Bowser then holds onto Bowser Jr. Bowser plays the same role and fights the same in the downloadable content New Super Luigi U. Bowser is once again the main antagonist in Super Mario 3D World.
At the beginning of the game, Bowser is revealed to have invaded the Sprixie Kingdom , kidnapping six of the seven Sprixie Princesses in the process. Bowser then shows up from a Clear Pipe in the Mushroom Kingdom and captures the last one just after she explains what happened, disappearing back down afterward.
Bowser is the boss of the World 1 castle, Bowser's Highway Showdown. Unlike most of his prior battles, Bowser does not fight Mario or the others in direct combat: instead, he confronts them from the back of the Koopa Chase , a car with a hood ornament of his face, throwing Kick Bombs that must be knocked back at him to damage him and spitting fireballs that leave residue.
After taking enough hits from the Kick Bombs, Bowser starts to breathe fire more often, only occasionally throwing Kick Bombs at this point. If the bomb is knocked back just by touching it, it will damage the car, but if it's knocked back with an attack, it will hit Bowser directly and deal triple the damage. Upon being struck by the final Kick Bomb, the Koopa Chase is sent bouncing forward and causes part of the road to collapse, destroying the car and ejecting Bowser from his own castle.
Bowser now spends most of the battle spewing the residue-producing fireballs at the player and only occasionally throws the bombs that must be knocked back at him.
When Bowser is struck by enough bombs, he once again is sent falling into the lava below. However, just as the heroes clear the level and free the final Sprixie Princess, Bowser jumps out in front of them, re-captures the seven Sprixies in a larger bottle, and takes them to the game's true final world, World Bowser , an amusement park built in his image. Upon reaching him, Bowser uses a Super Bell to transform himself into Meowser.
Later, after climbing up the tower and knocking him away with a POW Block , he uses a Double Cherry for the next portion of the battle. During the end credits, Bowser can be seen trapped inside a giant bottle. The game is notable as being one of the few games with Bowser as the main antagonist where he makes absolutely no attempt at abducting Princess Peach. In this campaign, he has become corrupted by some unknown force, becoming Fury Bowser in the process, which not only makes him more powerful and imposing, but also comes at the cost of his self-control.
As such, he not only has to face Mario again, but his own son as well. It was later revealed that Bowser Jr. His behavior changes, depending on the game style that's used, but regardless of the game style, Bowser starts breathing fireballs as Mario gets closer to him.
The size of the fireballs are larger if Bowser is given a Super Mushroom. In the Super Mario Bros. He may also do a small jump during the process. In the Super Mario World game style, Bowser moves around and jumps while breathing fireballs, but he may also breathe fireballs that rain down on Mario from above.
Another trait that Bowser is given in this game style is that he can push back Mario if Mario tries to run through him. In the New Super Mario Bros. U game style, Bowser simply moves left and right, and he will either breathe a fireball, jump, or breathe a fireball while jumping. However, unlike with the other game styles, Bowser actually aims his fireballs at Mario, instead of breathing them at random altitudes.
Bowser may also breathe multiple fireballs, along with making a huge jump. U game style. On an additional note, if Bowser is giant-sized in this game style, his fireballs can destroy most block types, and he can also destroy any Brick Blocks that he comes into contact with. The player can only place up to three Bowsers on a single course layer, and if the player shakes Bowser, he changes into Bowser Jr.
If the player gives Bowser wings, he gains gain the ability to flutter briefly, but drops down if Mario is under him. Unlike with Bowser Jr. Bowser can also throw two Bob-ombs at Mario, which will self-destruct after a while; if Bowser is giant-sized, he throws up to four Bob-ombs. This behavior is constant for all game styles. If Mario tries to combat Bowser, Bowser is immune to jump attacks, but he is defeated if the player delivers 20 hits to him, whether they are through fireballs or with certain items; if Bowser is giant-sized, he can be defeated in 40 hits.
On an additional note, giant-sized items except for the Goomba's Shoe deal 2x as much damage to Bowser than normal-sized items; for an example, 10 giant Koopa Troopa shells will defeat normal-sized Bowser. Bowser appears as the final boss of Super Mario Run , while fake Bowsers were used at the end of Worlds 1 , 3 , and 5.
Sometimes, he will toss Bob-ombs at Mario. If he manages to successfully stomp the Bob-omb, Mario will shoot it back at Bowser. To beat Bowser, the process needs to be repeated three times. In this game, as the final level only consists of the boss fight, the color coins are present in the battle. When the fifth coin is passed by, the level will recycle through from the beginning until Bowser is defeated.
Bowser returns in Super Mario Odyssey , once again as the main antagonist. He invades the Cap Kingdom and kidnaps Tiara to commence his "royal wedding" with Princess Peach , defeating Mario via his wedding hat and shredding the Mario Cap. He then sets up his "wedding", stealing artifacts from various kingdoms to fulfill his desires, and hiring the Broodals to help him against Mario. Although he does not steal anything needed for the wedding from the Metro Kingdom , he does nonetheless cause massive chaos in the kingdom regardless by having Mechawiggler attack the city as well as various tanks, and also proceeded to plaster numerous ads advertising his wedding much to the chagrin of the city's mayor, Pauline , who found the posters "tasteless" especially in light of the chaos.
Mario and Cappy catch up to Bowser in the Cloud Kingdom , and defeat him. However, he shoots them down with his airship. Later, when the Odyssey is en route to Bowser's Kingdom , he has the Ruined Dragon damage the Odyssey, and also has the Broodals hold off Mario long enough to fully escape from the castle to the Moon Kingdom. Eventually, he "invites" various people around the kingdoms to the wedding at Moon Kingdom by abducting them, including Mayor Pauline , and has a final battle with Mario, only to be soundly defeated, knocking him unconscious.
However, due to the Wedding Hall collapsing, Mario is ultimately forced to capture Bowser to get himself and everyone else to safety.
Upon regaining consciousness, he attempts to resume his attempt at wooing Peach's hand in marriage, with Mario doing the same, only for Peach to "reject" them both. Bowser then attempts to go home with Peach but gets jumped on by Mario and knocked away from the Odyssey. His remarks are as follows:. In battle, Bowser equips boxing gloves on his hat, which resemble the gloves sometimes used by the Junior Clown Car.
He will throw the hat and Mario must hit it with Cappy to stop it and flip it over, allowing him to put it on and punch with it using or by shaking the Joy-Con controllers.
Once Bowser sees his main weapon disabled, he will ground pound around the arena, sending flaming shockwaves. He may also throw large brick balls, which can be destroyed with the boxing-gloved hat.
Mario must repeatedly punch Bowser to send him flying into the spiky barrier surrounding the arena. When Bowser throws his hat again, he will throw it along with purple duplicates of it, which disappear when hit with Cappy. The process of punching Bowser must be repeated to damage him again. For the final throw, there will be five duplicates. Also, after being punched enough the final time, Bowser will spin around, damaging Mario if he is in the way.
He must be punched more to defeat him and send him crashing onto his airship. The second fight is basically the same, but Bowser uses some new tactics.
When being attacked, Bowser will always use the spin seen during the final attack in the previous battle, spinning more times depending on how many times he has been hit, and the spins create fiery shockwaves. Like before, he will use duplicates of the hat after being hit once, but he now uses three and eight duplicates, respectively, rather than two and five.
He also has two new attacks that he uses while Mario is wearing his hat. Once Bowser is hit once or twice, he may stand in the middle of the arena and breathe a stream of fire around the arena; as he is surrounded by flames during this attack, Mario cannot strike.
He may also throw flaming versions of his shell, which cannot be punched away like the bricks. Additionally, for the final hit, Bowser must be punched rapidly again after spinning three times. He will then spin once more and can be attacked to be defeated. Concept art for the game included in a Japanese artbook indicated that Bowser would have used the capture ability on Princess Peach.
Bowser reappears as an enemy in Super Mario Maker 2. He functions similarly to the previous title also including when Wings or a Super Mushroom are placed on him and is one of the objects the new Parachute item is able to be placed on. When a parachute is placed on him, he will be able to float down until reaching a solid object like with most objects. Like with the previous game, he is available in all major themes, although in the Super Mario 3D World style he is replaced by Meowser.
It is strongly implied Bowser is Father of Name Withheld in the game's story mode, which is made evident by his speech pattern: his course descriptions have "Bwa ha ha! He also appears in one of the opening sequences. Bowser slowly walks to the middle of the logo, and after he stops, he preforms a ground pound to the floor, causing the number "2" to fall next to the logo.
A Koopa Clown Car comes in and takes Bowser away off-screen. Bowser appears in Super Mario Bros. Like all enemies, he can be sent to other players, and this may make him appear outside castle levels.
A kicked shell can defeat Bowser, but the shell is also destroyed in the process. Transferred Bowsers throw hammers if they are from World and later. There are no fake Bowsers in this game. King Koopa as he is known in Japan is featured as the main villain in the Japanese-exclusive animated film Super Mario Bros.
The plot of the film is similar to that of Super Mario Bros. King Koopa is also trying to marry Peach, making this film the first instance in which King Koopa has shown a love interest in her.
King Koopa first appears emerging from Mario's television to capture Princess Peach. Mario tries to stand up to him, but to no avail. Peach tries to fight back, but is grabbed and taken back into the television, where she is held at his castle. At one point, King Koopa attempts to make Peach love him, but Peach tricks him by having him transform into various things, eventually ending up as a teddy bear which she locks inside a box.
However, King Koopa breaks free by transforming back to normal, leaving and locking her in her room. Later, King Koopa commences the wedding ceremony with Peach, but it is interrupted by Mario and Luigi. Taking the princess, King Koopa and the minister escape to another room to continue the ceremony, only for the castle to fall apart around them. After emerging from the rubble, King Koopa and Mario battle. During the battle, King Koopa is easily able to fight him, though after he consumes the three power-ups Mario becomes strong enough to grab King Koopa by the tail and send him flying, undoing his black magic over the land.
In the end of the film, King Koopa appears at Mario's Grocery , working happily with his minions. Below, Mario must try to catch the oil and hand the buckets to Yoshi for disposal.
Occasionally, Yoshi can knock Bowser away from his position. He also appears in the Modern version of Mario Bros. His role in this game is to hinder the Mario Bros.
Here, he is seen in a tree, trying to throw colored water balloons at Mario's friends, who are relaxing on various objects attached to the ropes. Mario is able to help his friends avoid the balloons by using the ropes to move them out of the way. Mario tries to fight him, but is defeated; it is when Luigi takes a Fire Flower and fights him that Koopa is defeated. Koopa escapes, however, and the bros try to chase after him, but fall down a large pit.
Koopa also throws the princess into the pit, then escapes, locking the basement door behind him. At the end of the book, however, the three escape the basement and force Koopa out of the castle.
King Koopa is also featured as the main antagonist in all three shorts in the Japanese-exclusive Super Mario anime series , which have him taking on the roles of various fairy tale villains. He hears of the beauty of Princess Peach, and, with the help of his Koopalings, she is kidnapped. Peach's grandparents try to stop him, but fail. During the time that the princess is kidnapped, King Koopa proposes to her, but she refuses and is thrown into a cell as a result; King Koopa then continues to plunder the galaxy as usual.
As he is proposing to her again, he hears news that a strange ship is approaching; Mario and his friends, a Para-Beetle , a Spike , and a Boomerang Bro arrive at the city, face King Koopa and the Koopalings and defeat them. Having been beaten, King Koopa vows to never perform another bad deed. While harassing Princess Peach, Mario tries to stand up for her, but King Koopa simply tries to stomp him, which later leads to him eating Mario.
However, Mario starts slashing and stabbing at his insides with the makeshift sword he was given by his father. This causes King Koopa to experience a horrific stomachache and regurgitate Mario, falling unconscious. However, when King Koopa wakes up, Mario is on his head, but he slices off his horns and eyebrows as he leaps off. Embarrassed, King Koopa runs away from the two, dropping a magical hammer on the way. This hammer allows Mario to be grown to a normal size. She is a selfish tyrant, who often asks her mirror who is the most beautiful in the land, with the mirror's response being an image of herself.
However, one day, when asking the mirror the question, Koopa is shocked to see the image of Princess Peach appearing on the mirror, making him angry. After much frustration, she has the Koopalings attack her, but she is saved by Mario, who defeats them. Angered by the failure of the Koopalings, Koopa asks the mirror the question again; this time the mirror tells him that Peach is hiding in Toad's house.
In her laboratory in the basement, Koopa creates a poison, which he then injects into several apples. While both the Toads and Mario are gone from the house, Koopa, disguising himself using a cloak, gives Peach a poisoned apple, which causes her to fall into a comatose state, and flies back to her castle. They succeed with their attack, but the Toads combine with Mario, increasing his strength and allowing him to once again defeat them.
Koopa attempts to escape, but Mario chases after her. However, Mario stops when he sees Koopa holding a knife at Peach. At that moment, Luigi unexpectedly enters the scene with a hammer and attacks Koopa. The brothers then take her and throw her head first into her mirror to defeat her.
Super Show! Bowser's appearance in the shows is based on his in-game sprite from the original Super Mario Bros. In all three cartoons, Bowser was voiced by Harvey Atkin, who also starred in other shows such as Goosebumps as Mr. In The Super Mario Bros. In several episodes, Bowser captures Princess Toadstool and attempts to blackmail her into giving him the Mushroom Kingdom, although some other episodes imply that he already has some measure of control over the kingdom.
In Super Mario World television series , Bowser makes somewhat infrequent appearances. As revealed in the episode " Mama Luigi ", he was once again banished from the Mushroom Kingdom. However, he ends up moving to Dinosaur Land, where he, along with his Koopa Kids, cause trouble. Bowser's fate at the end of the cartoons is never actually disclosed, as his final appearance not counting "Mama Luigi", which takes place in a flashback in A Little Learning shows him trapped in his bedroom, which is rapidly filling with lava.
After The Super Mario Bros. His appearance, as well as his personality and demeanor, is based off of his cartoon appearance in The Super Mario Bros. During the show, Bowser hosts a quiz, to which any viewer can send their answers through the mail, and answers fan mail. He then shows public-domain cartoons unrelated to the Mario series. At the end of each episode, Koopa gives away Nintendo merchandise to the child-exclusive studio audience.
As the plot is the same as the game it is based upon, King Koopa kidnaps Princess Peach while she is on vacation in Dinosaur Land , conquers the Yoshis and sets up fortresses, putting the Koopalings in charge of them. He eventually faces off against Mario and Luigi in his Koopa Clown , and is defeated, spinning out of control into the horizon. He plans to use the NES they are playing to spread a computer virus and take over the world.
He then has his minions head out to infect the system's hardware. When the Mario Bros. After most of his minions are defeated, Bowser, accompanied by a Spiny , attempts to attack the Mario Bros. In the comic included with the White Knuckle Scorin' album, Bowser appears as the main antagonist. He once again kidnaps Princess Toadstool and brings her to his castle, explaining his plan to turn the dinosaurs of Dinosaur Land into fossil fuel and join OPEC.
The princess tells him that he is not smart enough to be an oil tycoon, but Bowser informs her that he would rather have "brute force and a bad attitude over smarts and education," informing her in song that "ignorance is bliss.
Later, Bowser's spies tell him that the Mario Bros. Bowser selects a spell from his spellbook that he believes to have a nasty effect, and with help from Lemmy, who wished to show off the reading skills the princess had taught him earlier , they cast the spell Bowser unable to do it himself due to leaving his reading glasses in the pantry when reading the nutritional label on a bag of "toasted lard chips" , which instead creates an illusion that gives the countryside a medieval motif, also boosting the brothers' confidence.
The spell wears off as soon as Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi arrive at the castle, but Bowser has his Mechakoopas attack them. He also places Toadstool in a cage lowering into a vat of lava; the brothers and Yoshi cannot save her in time, and she disappears into the lava. Mario attempts to fight Bowser still, but his grief allows Bowser to easily beat him. However, Princess Toadstool suddenly appears out of the shadows and strikes Bowser.
Revitalized by her sudden appearance, Bowser is able to be defeated by Mario again, while the princess explains that she escaped due to Bowser leaving the operating manual inside the cage Bowser admitting that his illiteracy caused him to not think about them.
Bowser is defeated by the heroes aided by Lemmy , but he orders all Warp Pipes leading outside Dinosaur Land be severed, supposedly trapping them on the island. However, Princess Toadstool had stolen Bowser's spell book, and Yoshi recites the spell to transport his friends home. At this age, he is shown to have similar powers to the ones he currently possesses as an adult. When Baby Mario and Yoshi enter his room in his castle, Baby Bowser is unintentionally and forcibly awakened from his nap by Kamek who was trying to demand that Yoshi hand over Mario , and pounds him flat in retribution.
Bowser then notices Yoshi, and decides he wants to ride the "green donkey. Yoshi ends up defeating Baby Bowser, even when Kamek turns him into a giant. In Yoshi's Cookie , Bowser appears as one of the four playable characters in versus mode. He has the highest attack of the four, but his other stats are average. The Nintendo Puzzle Collection version of the game features a story mode. While Mario and Yoshi are resting as they are delivering Yoshi Cookies, Bowser appears and steals the cookies.
When they awake, they go after him. Bowser is faced on stage seven on every difficulty, as the final enemy in the game. He is defeated after beating him three times out of five. The rebranded version replaces all of the game's original cast except Mr.
Time with characters from the Mario series and the Yoshi series, with Bowser taking the role of Corderia as the game's final boss.
During VS. Mode, the game's story mode, Bowser has Kamek cast a spell over the inhabitants of Yoshi's Island , brainwashing them into working for him and his Koopa Troop. He also has a massive rain created, threatening to flood the world. He is faced in Mt. Wickedness on hard mode, on the twelfth and final stage, after Kamek is defeated. Bowser is also faced on the final stage and special stage on Stage Clear mode. His health is depleted by stringing together multiple combos.
Both incidents quickly define the young Bowser as a selfish character lacking empathy. In Yoshi Topsy-Turvy , Bowser and his minions attack the island. A spirit named Hongo attempts to contain Bowser and his army by using his magic to place the entire island inside the Forbidden Pop-Up Book , mirroring what Bowser did to Yoshi's Island as a baby. After Yoshi satisfies each of the six spirits of Yoshi's Island, the spirits allow Yoshi to confront Bowser.
The first part of the battle takes place on a platform. Bowser attacks Yoshi by breathing fire at him while bombs fall from the sky. Bowser is damaged if he walks into the bombs. He flies into the air and lands, causing two Shy Guys to fall onto the platform. When Bowser is damaged enough times, the two fall to a lower platform. Bowser only attacks by leaping and slamming the ground, causing two enemies to fall.
The parachuting bombs damage him if he walks into them. Once this is done enough times, he and Yoshi fall to a pair of even lower platforms over a pit of lava; the size of Bowser, however, allows only one of his feet on it. Tilting the system causes Bowser to fall into the lava, defeating him. Afterward, with Bowser eliminated, Hongo releases Yoshi's Island, reverting it. Despite the presence of offspring, no mate of Bowser has appeared in any story, and his only known relationship is his marriage to a reluctant Princess Peach in Super Paper Mario.
Release-wise, Bowser first appears in Super Mario Bros. Bowser and his army invade and conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, using a spell to transform the citizens into inanimate objects as well as kidnapping the only one capable of undoing the curse, Princess Toadstool.
Bowser's attack pattern is similar to that of his impostors; he sits on the bridge spitting fireballs and tossing hammers, as well as leaping into the air. Hitting him with five fireballs or grabbing the axe on the other side of the bridge causes him to fall into the lava, defeating him and saving Princess Toadstool.
In addition to the original game, Bowser appears in all the game's variations, including Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. Bowser repeats his plan in Super Mario Bros. He holds her in his own castle while the Mushroom Retainers are held by his impostors in the other castles. Bowser again resides in the eighth castle, with the same attacks as the original: throwing hammers and breathing fireballs at Mario and Luigi.
The arena, however, is aesthetically different, having two pillars of blocks on the ceiling, the second having a Fire Bar on the end. Also in this final castle is a mysterious dark-shaded look-alike of Bowser, sometimes identified as his brother. Grabbing the ax at the end of the bridge once again causes Bowser to fall into the pit of lava, allowing Mario to rescue the princess. While the Mario Bros. He will inform Mario and Luigi of this via personal letter if the player frees Pipe Land from Ludwig, but they can also warp directly to Dark Land and skip this.
Upon reaching the final room of Bowser's Castle, Bowser falls in to start the battle. His attack pattern involves breathing two fireballs at Mario, then leaping into the air and attempting to Ground Pound him.
Whenever Bowser ground pounds a pair of blocks, they are destroyed, and after destroying an entire column of blocks, Bowser plummets to the massive pit and hits the ground. Another method is to hit him with 35 fireballs or at least three hammers. Besides the main game, he also appears in the World-e levels, with his first appearance being the twenty-seventh level, Bowser's Last Stand. This level is a compilation of obstacles from the previous Bowser's Castles, ending with the Super Mario Bros.
The description for the card implies that he was guarding a secret treasure room from intruders. He also appears in the thirtieth and final e-Reader level, Bowser's Airship 2, where he is fought again at the end. This time, however, the entire room is composed of the blocks seen in the original room, as well as blocks that he cannot break.
Although he does not appear in the preceding level, Bowser's Airship 1, he is mentioned in the level, and the card's commentary has him alluding to his Airship's size not being the only thing that made it impressive. For obvious reasons, he features as the key art for the three cards.
He also was in the Mario Bros. Bowser's next appearance in a standard 2-D platform adventure was Super Mario World. There, he once again appears as the final boss in the Valley of Bowser. Bowser's children, the Koopalings , again make an appearance.
Here, Nintendo introduces something that would continue to be associated with Bowser through the rest of his video game appearances to date: Bowser riding the Koopa Clown Car. Fireballs now proved to be useless, and the player had to defeat him by stunning his Mechakoopas and tossing them back at Bowser. Bowser starts the battle by just moving his Koopa Clown Car right and left. After he is hit by two Mechakoopas he throws fireballs and after Princess Peach throws a Super Mushroom to Mario, Bowser starts to follow Mario and will rotate his Koopa Clown Car for a large ball to come out and move in Mario's direction.
Mario can spin jump on these or simply just avoid them. After Mario throws two Mechakoopas at Bowser, his Koopa Clown Car will get angry but will still smile and will jump on the ground following Mario. After throwing two more Mechakoopas, Bowser will be defeated and Mario would have rescued Princess Peach. Prior to fighting him, he also briefly appears in the Valley of Bowser Map's background flying around in his Koopa Clown Car, although only his eyes can be seen in the darkness, and only a silhouette appears during the occasional thunderclap.
In the GBA remake, he is absent entirely after his level is cleared. While his art is similar to his normal appearance, his in-game sprite appears differently, making him primarily green in color with two large fangs.
The Super Mario Advance 2 sprite corrects this, making his arms their normal color. In a interview, the game's graphic designer, Shigefumi Hino, confessed that Bowser's green skin color here was merely a design oversight. Aside from his role in the game, he also was in the Mario Bros.
After being thrown out of his castle called a keep in this game by the Smithy Gang the antagonists of the game , he reluctantly joins Mario on his quest to recover the star pieces and repair the mystical Star Road, thus defeating Smithy and returning Bowser's castle to Bowser. Following traditional RPG class archetypes, Bowser fills the role of the power tank, with his only diminishing flaws being lowest turn speed and magic power.
He used them to create worlds inside many of the paintings and walls of the castle. Peach and many of her Toads were also trapped in the paintings of the castle and could only be freed by Mario regaining all of the Power Stars. To ensure that Mario did not disrupt his plans again, Bowser sealed off the doors in the castle with the stars and even created doors that would only open with his keys.
Unfortunately for Bowser, he did not lock one door, leading to his undoing as Mario was able to collect stars from the painting beyond that door, and then open other doors and systematically sweep through the castle towards Bowser. Every single time, Mario defeats Bowser by grabbing his tail and throwing him into one of several bombs surrounding the battle arena.
In the DS version, during the Fire Sea battle, Bowser also warps from one section of the platform to another, and pounds the platform to make it go off balance. In the third and final battle, Mario had to throw Bowser into a bomb three times before he was defeated.
Bowser even managed to double Mario's load by breaking apart the vast platform they were on into the shape of a star, making tossing him a difficult venture. He also attacked Mario by chasing him. Bowser was able to escape, but Mario saved Princess Peach and restored peace to the castle with the power of the stars. In Super Mario 64 , Bowser was solely defeated by the efforts of Mario.
However, the remake Super Mario 64 DS differed in that the player was required to be both Yoshi and Mario to prove victorious.
But, keeping true to his rivalry with the red-clad plumber, Bowser would not accept any challengers but Mario himself for the final battle although a glitch allowed him to be fought by anyone. Mario faces Bowser in Super Mario Sunshine. Bowser told his son that Peach was his mother and that Mario kidnapped her.
Bowser Jr. Mario, determined to prove his innocence, cleaned the mess with the aid of F. Mario reached Bowser and his son at the end of the volcano in a floating, sun-shaped, slime-filled bathtub just above the peak of Corona Mountain.
Bowser tried to kill Mario by breathing enormous gusts of flame and splashing slime at him, while Bowser Jr. Mario used F. D's Rocket Nozzle to produce a few massive Ground Pounds that tipped the bowl over, sending the Koopas to fall into a miniature island adjacent to Isle Delfino.
Bowser confessed to his son that he had used him as a pawn, but Bowser Jr. They then decided to continue their vacation together. In Super Princess Peach , Bowser, after hearing about a mysterious and powerful artifact hidden on Vibe Island, decides to search for said artifact, and he consequently also builds his summer villa there.
Eventually, Bowser finds the artifact, the Vibe Scepter, which is capable of controlling and manipulating the emotions of others.
Bowser proceeded to entrust a Goomba with the Vibe Scepter and then orders this Goomba to lead a brigade of Hammer Bros. Bowser's raiding party succeeds in capturing Mario , Luigi and several Toads. Unfortunately for Bowser, his Goomba minion proved incapable of handling the Vibe Scepter's power and ended-up casting a spell over Vibe Island, unleashing chaos throughout.
After all of the Toads and Luigi are rescued, Princess Peach and her umbrella ally, Perry , can face Bowser whom, with the Vibe Scepter, can increase his power; regardless, Bowser is still defeated and Mario is freed by the princess.
In New Super Mario Bros. He is fought the same way as in the original Super Mario Bros. In this showdown, Bowser is a bit smarter and much bigger, and will attempt to lunge at the player when the player gets behind him.
In this game, Bowser travels back in time in search of seven legendary stars that can apparently give him the power to rule the universe. The search for these stars lead Bowser to kidnap b a b i e s all across the planet thinking that the stars are located in the hearts of certain babies.
Bowser appears as the game's final boss, right after his younger self. In Luigi's Mansion , Madame Clairvoya tells Luigi that Bowser has been "soundly defeated" by Mario , and speculates that King Boo might have revived him, suggesting that Bowser was presumed destroyed following his latest clash with Mario. His demise is an unconfirmed event however a red herring on Madame Clairvoya's part, no less , as the Bowser-like entity of Luigi's Mansion is never identified, and is merely piloted as a huge robotic mech by King Boo, who is the final boss and ultimate villain of the game.
Interestingly enough, at the end of the game, the Bowser-like spirit is also trapped in the painting with King Boo. Artwork of Bowser and Bowser Jr.
He commands a vast army of Goombas, Koopas, and other nasties that do his bidding without question. Mario always manages to save Princess Peach from Bowser and stop his schemes, but the brute never learns. Perhaps if Mario finally corners Bowser in the heart of the cosmos, he can pound a little sense into the scoundrel. Bowser used these incredible stars to bring his entire fleet to the cosmos and take over many galaxies, planning to construct a galaxy reactor powered by the Grand Stars that would make all the galaxies collapse upon themselves.
This would give birth to a new cosmos in which he would use to rule and control the whole universe as a Galactic Empire that would last forever with Peach as Bowser's empress. He then kidnapped Peach during the events of the Star Festival, and held her at the center of the universe where he was overseeing the construction of his reactor.
During this time, Bowser Jr. Mario, helped by Rosalina, collected many Grand and Power Stars and destroyed much of the Koopa Troop, encountering and defeating Bowser twice in his attempt to rescue Peach.
Regardless of these drawbacks, Bowser remained confident of his victory and the follow-through of his main goal to construct his own galaxy. Mario eventually battles Bowser at the almost-completed galaxy reactor. During the final battle, Bowser Jr. Despite his efforts, Mario defeated Bowser and sent him into the magma of his own sun. The final Grand Star was released from the galaxy reactor, which exploded and formed a large black hole that began to suck up the cosmos.
The Lumas used their powers to reverse the black hole, creating a new Big Bang and reforming the cosmos. Rosalina then appears to Mario in a vision, explaining to him that the nature and fabric of the universe is always unpredictable and always uses different patterns to sustain itself. Bowser tried to control this force for his own nefarious means, and for that he almost paid the ultimate price; he nearly sacrificed his own life.
Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. Relieved to be alive, Bowser left to plan further schemes. Bowser appeared, and was again the final boss in New Super Mario Bros. Here, he appeared together with his eight minions, the Koopalings and his son, Bowser Jr.
In the last castle of World 8, Bowser was found in the last chamber, sending out fireballs toward Mario, similarly to his appearance in the original Super Mario Bros. After Mario pressed the switch that caused the bridge to collapse beneath Bowser, sending him falling into a pit once again, a victory fanfare played and Mario rejoiced, believing to have won. However, upon inspecting Princess Peach up above, it turned out that it was, in fact, Kamek , disguised as Peach. Kamek then cast a spell over the chasm that Bowser had fallen down.
As a rumbling noise began, Kamek paused to see if the spell had actually worked. To his surprise, Bowser appeared, now at a gigantic size, knocking Kamek off his broom, and proceeded to chase after Mario. Mario rushed through the area beyond the boss room, luring Bowser into launching fireballs at walls so that they were destroyed and he could proceed.
Like most story elements and character backstories of Nintendo's Mario franchise, this achievement is also left vague and undeveloped. Bowser's seven children are referred to as the Koopa Kids or Koopalings.
The origins of these Koopa Kids as well as who the mother of these children remains unknown. Although these children resemble Koopas from the royalty, none seem to look much like Bowser or have sharp curved horns on their heads. There are many rumours offering suggestions as to how these Koopalings came into existance such as that they may be adopted or that Bowser may have a wife named Clawdia.
Bowser and his children form the Koopa Royal Family. Bowser returned to attack the Mushroom Kingdom again along with the help of his seven Koopa Kids.
On this offensive, Bowser attacked the seven Mushroom Worlds with his doomship and transformed each Mushroom King into animals. Each of Bowser's Koopa Kids guarded each of the Mushroom Worlds, as well as the magic sceptres that could be used to transform the Mushroom Kings back into their old selves.
Once again Princess Peach was kidnapped, sending the land into chaos once more. The brothers then moved on to face Bowser, who was dwelling in his castle in Dark Land. Bowser was defeated again after Mario and Luigi tricked him into repeatedly crashing the brick floor in an attempt to crush them.
Eventually, the brick floor gave way causing Bowser to fall an indeterminable height. Bowser and his Koopa Kids rebounded to launch another attack on the Mushroom Kingdom and capture the princess. This time, Bowser invaded the neighbouring region of Dinosaur Land, which also contained Yoshi's Island, and trapped all of the Yoshis there in eggs.
Seven baby Yoshis were also held captive in seven castles all across Dinosaur Land belonging to each of Bowser's seven children. Bowser uses his newly invented mode of transportation, the Koopa Clown Car, to fight the Mario Brothers. He attacked the Mario Brothers from his Koopa Clown Car by barraging them with Mechakoopas, large steel boulders, and fire.
Bowser was defeated by the Mario Brothers once more after being knocked out by his own Mechakoopas punted back up to him hitting him in the head. Bowser, still determined to control the Mushroom Kingdom, returned to invade Peach's castle and imprisoned all its inhabitants in the castle walls with the magic of the stolen Power Stars. This time, Bowser attacks alone, and does not use the help of his children.
Mario tracked Bowser down by collecting the magic Power Stars one by one. Bowser clashed with Mario on three occassions on a large round platform surrounded by four spiked bombs. All three times Bowser was defeated when Mario caught Bowser by the tail, spun him around, and tossed him into spiked bombs around the ring. Bowser once again attempted to take over the Mushroom Kingdom with help from the female Koopa witch Kammy Koopa.
Bowser also used his castle to hijack Princess Peach's castle, with Peach still in it, and lifted the castle high into the sky. This forced Mario to collect the powers of the Seven Star spirits before he could face him again.
There is also a trophy of Bowser at a younger age, "Baby Bowser", who is often confused with his son Bowser Jr. Bowser's Classic trophy plays a large, symbolic role in Melee 's " story ", so to speak; the trophy is shown near the end of the opening FMV, getting struck by lightning.
At the end of Adventure mode, after K. If the right conditions are fulfilled, however, the trophy will rise back up onto the stage, land, and get struck by that special lightning, which will cause it to break apart and reveal Giga Bowser breaking out of it, and the Giga Bowser battle begins. If Giga Bowser is defeated, the trophy will again be seen plummeting into the darkness, where it will now shatter like a little firework, signifying the player's ultimate victory.
Bowser is another returning playable character in Brawl , but with an updated look with more realistic textures, though with a design more akin to the Mario series rather than his more muscular appearance in Melee. All but one of his special moves from Melee return in Brawl -- his side special move, Koopa Klaw, has been replaced with a new move called Flying Slam. His appearance is based on his current appearance in the later Mario games, starting with Super Mario Sunshine.
As Masahiro Sakurai previously mentioned on the Smash Bros. Bowser's moveset and running speed are slightly faster than in Melee. His forward smash now has a chance to hit twice, once for the head, and again for his body, doing anywhere from 36 to 48 percent damage, and being by far the most damaging smash attack in the game.
While he has been buffed from Melee , Bowser still retains a multitude of gaping flaws, rendering him to still be a bottom-tier character with meager tournament results in Brawl , ranking 33rd on the current tier list. Bowser returns as a playable character in SSB4 , with a more upright posture and increased mobility. Bowser ranks 24th out of 55 characters on the tier list. He has been considerably buffed from Brawl to Smash 4 , having been granted increased speed and faster attacks.
The general changes to Smash 4 improve Bowser further, as he no longer has to contend with the likes of chain-grabbing , and the new rage mechanic brings more benefit to his great survivability.
Unfortunately, he still suffers from combos and a lack of defensive options, courtesy of his large size and high weight. Such benefits resulted in him having stronger tournament presence and a larger playerbase. Bowser returns as a playable character alongside the entire playable roster of the series. This is Bowser's first appearance in Super Smash Bros. As the first character in Donkey Kong 's unlock tree, he can potentially be the first character to be unlocked.
