  • Prima Games guide description[page number needed]:
    • English:
      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.

Super Mario Bros. (film)Edit

ERTL Action Figure file cardEdit

SOCIETY HIT PARADE!
In this portion of The Times, we honor a citizen of Dinohatten, who has made a statement, left an impression, stood out above the rest, been different. These good people are not necessarily good. Some are, some aren't. You be the judge.

This day, we honor Koopa.
Hometown: Dinohattan
Occupation: Ruler
Ancestor: Tyranasaurus[sic] Rex
Personality Trait: Evil
Favorite Bath: Mud
Favorite Food: Snake on a stick
Favorite Saying: "I guess I'm not a good guy"
Contribution to Society: Ruler of the reptilian city of Dinohattan. He exhibits excellence in all facets of leadership. He specializes in the smashing of all attempts at turning Dinohattan into a democratic society, which has included sliming and devolving some of his closest friends.

Nintendo Character Guide (1993)Edit

"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 BibleEdit

  • English:
    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.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!Edit

  • Website description:
    • English:

    • English:
      Mario's arch-enemy is superb at using his drifting skills to race through curves.

  • Guide description:
    • English:

  • Trading card description:
    • English:
      A.K.A. "King of the Koppas," Bowser is the persistent thorn in Mario's side. The proverbial fly in his ointment, if you will. He's now outdone himself with a newly designed track in his castle. Lava, flames, cannonballs and spiked Thwomps--the stuff dreams are made of...

  • Instruction booklet description:
    • English:
      A mighty foe that trades speed for pure power.
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.

  • Instruction booklet description:
    • English:
      The King of the Koopas is a destructive heavyweight.


  • Website description:
    • English:
      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 kart Bowser has here isn't unique to him. You can use the same parts with any racer – even Mario!

    Palutena's GuidanceEdit

    • 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.

    Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)Edit

    • 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!

    • Official Nintendo Player's Guide description:
      • English:
        "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?[25]
        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![26]

        Your Beefiness, Monsiuer Turtle Bits, The King of Awesome
      • English (United Kingdom):
        Get to know Bowser better than you ever thought possible – from the inside out! While Mario and Luigi get gung-ho down in his guts (let's hope there’s more than one exit), Bowser’s on a solo mission to protect his castle – and his dignity – against the dastardly Fawful.
    • Instruction booklet description:
      • English:
        The big bruiser who rules over the Koopas as their king. He'll get Princess Peach this time, if it's the last thing he does...
    • Prima Official Game Guide description:
      • English:
        Every great hero needs a villain that is truly his equal. While Mario has been able to defeat Bowser many times in the past, the Koopa King never fails to pull himself off the ground and hatch a new plot to take over the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. With the arrival of the Blorbs, though, Bowser may finally need to fight to save the Mushroom Kingdom, not fight to take it over.

    The official home of Super MarioEdit

    • Original website description:
      • English (United States):
        The king of the Koopas dreams of ruling the Mushroom Kingdom, and only Mario and his brave friends stand in his way! This towering tyrant commands many minions—including Koopa Troopas, Goombas, Bullet Bills, and Shy Guys—and together they wreak havoc upon the Mushroom Kingdom. He often stirs up trouble, but despite his monstrous strength and fiery breath, Mario and company always find a way to stop him.[41]
    • Current website description:
      • English (United States):
        The King of the Koopas. Bowser is Mario's archrival and is always causing trouble in the Mushroom Kingdom.
        Bowser commands many underlings, including Koopas, Goombas, Bullet Bills, and Shy Guys. Whenever he sets his sights on the Mushroom Kingdom, his plans are often foiled by Mario and friends.
        Bowser is a mighty foe who possesses incredible strength and can even breathe fire.[42]

        Troublemaker, mighty, greedy, angry hero

        Bowser joins the team, and he is not happy about it! Cursa stole his minions, and he is not going to let them get away with it, even if it means partnering with Mario, the Rabbids, and their friends.
    • In-game description
      • English:
        OVERSEER
        Bowser shines when launching area attacks and spawning minions to do his bidding.
    • Memory description:
      • English:
        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.
