Koopa Seven is a form Bowser takes at the end of Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World 7 of the Super Mario Kodansha manga. His name and appearance is an obvious nod to Ultraseven from the 1967 series of the same name.

With Super Mario Great ruining his wedding with Princess Peach and Princess Daisy, Bowser asks for some help from the Koopa Daimyōjin statue. He gives him his powers, turning him into Koopa Seven, giving him a giant height, to the point of towering over Great, a cybernetically enhanced helmet, and a "7" on his belly (in reference to the issue, the seventh of the Super Mario World arc). Bowser grows so big to the point of destroying the Kame Star they were occupying, sending his Koopa Troopas flying into space, while the heroes manages to board the Yoshi Bird 5-gō.

During the battle, Koopa Seven has the upperhand, finishing Super Mario Great with the Kameriumu Kōsen. The move results so powerful that Great has to expel Mario from his body in order to save him, but Mario refuses to let him die, giving him the Muteki Star Bracelet, turning him invincible and making him able to destroy Koopa Seven. Like his kaiju before, Bowser blows up, leaving nothing behind. Since this volume takes place in a different continuity from the rest of the stories, this presumably kills Bowser.
