Super Mario Galaxy

• Prima Games guide bio: Bowser is the great fire-breathing villain of the Mushroom Kingdom, a dastardly creature bent on capturing Princess Peach and taking control of the kingdom for his own, nefarious needs. 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.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

• European website bio: "The flame-haired, fire-breathing King of the Koopas could never be described as a quitter. For every failed attempt to hold Princess Peach captive, Bowser seems to have five more schemes up his sizeable sleeve. Could his latest plot finally see him getting the better of Mario?"

Super Mario 3D Land

• North American website bio: "The dastardly King of the Koopas is making Mario's life difficult once again. He'll spit fireballs, shake the ground, and throw whatever he can get his hands on to keep you from getting to Princess Peach."

New Super Mario Bros. 2

New Super Mario Bros. U

• Website bio: "With a fearsome fleet of airships at his disposal, Bowser and his cohorts have decided to mount an attack right on the heroes' home turf."

• Bowser Statue: "A statue of Mario's eternal rival, Bowser. Scary to see at night."
• Bowser (Wedding) Statue: "Decked out in a tux to pop the big question! He looks pretty gallant for once, so... Maybe he'll get a "yes"?"
• Gold Bowser Statue: "A shiny golden statue of Bowser. OK, it's a little cool with that gold and all."

Nintendo Character Guide (1993)

"Bowser" King of the Koopas
His evil magic is powerful, but it has not helped Bowser make friends. The fact is, even the other Koopa's^[sic] hate and fear him. He decided to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom because he could not stand the idea of happy fungi.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Writers Bible Bio

"Despite every devious and dastardly plot he hatches, Koopa has a certain Rodney Dangerfield-like vulnerability which makes him as loveable as he is hateable. Koopa is pure id. Unmitigated selfishness running rampant in an ugly green body. He will capture, trick, bribe, threaten, attack, cast evil spells, hurl malicious insults, throw temper tantrums, and do anything else despicable and nasty to defeat the Super Marios. And he has so much fun doing it; we always wanna see him try again. In Super Mario 3, Koopa fans can enjoy his humorous rantings and funny frustrations even more as he contends with his seven black sheep Koopalings. If reptiles had hair, Koopa would've pulled all his out by now."

Trophy Bowser
	Game/move: Super Mario Bros. 10/85
	How to unlock: Completing Classic Mode or playing 100 VS matches as Bowser
	Bowser has a long history of kidnapping Princess Peach to lure his nemesis, Mario, into traps. He leads an enormous group of mischievous creatures, not the least of which are his seven children. With outrageous strength, flammable breath, and more spikes than you can shake a Star Rod at, Bowser is a constant threat.

Trophy Bowser [Smash]
	Game/move: : Fire Breath Smash : Koopa Klaw
	How to unlock: Completing Adventure Mode or playing 200 VS matches as Bowser.
	In many ways, Bowser is the toughest character around. Not only does he have near-impervious hide, but his great mass makes him almost impossible to hurl offscreen. Of course, his weight also makes him rather slow to maneuver, so when facing him in battle, it's best to press your attack and not give him a chance to counter.

Trophy Bowser [Smash]
	Game/move: Up & : Whirling Fortress Down & : Bowser Bomb
	How to unlock: Completing All-Star Mode or playing 300 VS matches as Bowser
	Bowser's Fire Breath strikes continually, but it grows gradually smaller over time until it's barely smoldering. The Koopa Klaw rakes enemies at a distance and pulls nearby foes in close for a good gnawing. Bowser's Whirling Fortress moves laterally over the ground; it works in midair as a recovery. The Bowser Bomb is powerful and paves the way for more attacks.''

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

• Instruction booklet bio: "The King of the Koopas is a destructive heavyweight."
• Website bio: "The biggest and the heaviest of fighters, Bowser has a slightly different flavor this time around! To be honest, there are a LOT of characters that offer a slightly different flavor this time around. If you think they’re all going to be the same as they have been, it'll be rough for you."
• Snake's codec conversation
  • Colonel: Careful, Snake! That's the great and terrible Bowser!
  • Snake: Bowser? Looks like a cheap movie monster.
  • Colonel: Hardly. Bowser leads an entire army of monsters. But I'd worry more about his claws and fire if I were you.
  • Snake: Doesn't look that tough to me. Seems kind of slow, actually.
  • Colonel: Well, he is the king of Koopas. It's only natural he'd be slow. But that's only because he's the heaviest fighter here--by far. He's a powerhouse of destruction. Careful he doesn't flatten you.

	The king of the Koopas and Mario's eternal rival. He breathes fire, hurls hammers, attacks from vehicles like the Koopa Clown Car, and uses all sorts of weapons in hopes of taking out Mario.

Trophy Giga Bowser
	Appears in: Wii Super Smash Bros. Brawl
	How to unlock: Clear All-Star Mode as Bowser
	Bowser, transformed into the terrible and brutal form first seen in Super Smash Bros. Melee. While in this form, he cannot be stunned or budged. His appearance is so fierce, it's as if he doesn't even belong in the Smash Bros. universe. He cannot maintain this form for long, so dealing out damage efficiently is key.

Trophy Paper Bowser
	Appears in: Wii Super Paper Mario
	How to unlock: Random
	The great king of the Koopas who plots to rule the land with a firm fist. In a change of events, Bowser goes from being Mario's rival to adventuring side by side with him. Bowser's special skill is breathing fire and he has nearly twice the attack power of Mario or Peach, which allows him to take out foes from a distance or multiple enemies with a single blow.

Trophy Wedding Bowser
	Appears in: Wii Super Paper Mario
	How to unlock: Random
	The great Koopa king in a sharp, white tuxedo. Bowser is forced into marriage with Princess Peach by Count Bleck, who plots to wipe out the universe with the Chaos Heart. Although it's all part of Count Bleck's plan, Bowser doesn't seem to be displeased with the prospect. This might just be the last time we ever see Bowser in a tuxedo.

Mario's princess-kidnapping arch-enemy. Yes, he's quite the villain, but he can also be a bit of a buffoon, too. And sometimes, he even ends up on Mario's side! As a serious heavyweight, he's tough to launch, and using standard attacks on him will only make him laugh. If you want to send him flying, make sure to whack him really hard! (British English)

Bowser has tricked out his kart exactly like Mario's. With a level playing field, it all comes down to the driver's skill. Well, and luck. And if the driver got a good night's sleep... Only the goddess of victory knows who will win. That's part of the fun of Mario Kart! (American English)
The kart Bowser has here isn't unique to him. You can use the same parts with any racer – even Mario! Of course, even if everyone has the same kart, the race still won't come down to pure skill – luck always plays a part. It's that unpredictability that makes Mario Kart so exciting, after all!

Palutena's Guidance

• Pit: When I think of Bowser, I always picture him deep in his castle, steeling himself for a fight.
• Viridi: Or, you know, playing golf or racing in a go-kart.
• Pit: He's looking pretty aggro today. Must be because he's in a fighting game.
• Viridi: When Mario first fought Bowser, I hear he had to use an axe to chop down a rope bridge and drop the big guy.
• Palutena: It all sounds like something from an 8-bit action movie!
• Pit: I won't lie. I'm a little scared.
• Palutena: Don't be. Bowser may be powerful, but he also leaves big openings. Fight smart and look for chances to counterattack.

Flag Description (Wii U version)

Bowser
The vicious and egotistical King of the Koopas! He's come to these Olympic Games with a host of seasoned minions in tow, and ordered them to win gold on penalty of fire breath - even though he plans to keep all of them for himself. It's just what any good villain would do.

Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)

• Bowser can breathe fire, right? Well, he should use that to light the Olympic Caldron at the Opening Ceremony! Talk about a showstopper! ...Actually, you know what? Scratch that idea. I'm not sure that angry fire breath is the best way to embody the Olympic spirit.
• Bowser has ten spines sticking out of his shell. They're pretty sturdy looking, not to mention pokey. You wouldn't want to be on the business end of those!
• Bowser has a son named Bowser Jr. He might be the son of the big bad Koopa himself, but since he's still a kid, he comes across as kind of adorable.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

• Instruction booklet bios
  • English: Yep. Mario teams up with Bowser. These two archenemies have put aside their differences and joined forces. Let's hope this alliance sticks. Watch your back, Mario.
  • Japanese: マリオを困らせてきた悪役クッパが、今回は味方になるらしい。本当なら心強いのだが⋯。 (Bowser, the villain who has been pestering Mario, seems to be an ally this time. If that's true, it's reassuring...)
• Official Nintendo Player's Guide: "One for all and all for one" may be the motto of most members in Mario's party, but Bowser prefers to mutter, "And I'll take care of myself!" This cruising bruiser normally sticks his neck out for nobody but signs on with his long-time nemesis after his cowardly confederates head for the hills. If he spent less time nursing his tough-guy reputation and more time fighting, things would go much smoother. But then he wouldn't be Bowser, would he?
  • Who's Who: Pure bluster, lots of leather with studs, and the fact that he's bigger than everyone else has gotten Bowser to the top of the Koopa kingdom. Underneath that rough exterior, though, Bowser is a romantic. Or so he likes to think. Princess Toadstool doesn't quite buy it, which is why she's continually spurning his amorous attentions. With the invasion of Smithy, though, Bowser faces a far greater challenge than getting a date for the Koopa Def Jam!

• Bowser isn’t exactly a “friend,” but where would Mario be without a troublesome giant Koopa who keeps snatching Princess Peach? The world would certainly be a lot less fun.

Bowser
As the huge demon king of the Turtle Tribe who leads the Koopa Troop, he is Mario's fated rival. He often plunges the Mushroom Kingdom into crisis by kidnapping Peach, but his ambitions are stopped by Mario every time. Who knows if a day will ever come when he can win against Mario.

Memory bio

BOWSER

It is surprising that our truce with Bowser lasted longer than our first battle together, yet his desire for revenge against Cursa for commandeering his minions has thus proved stronger than his longing to kidnap Princess Peach or his animosity towards Mario. Bioforms are motivated by a number of factors, not all of which are necessarily virtuous.
