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."
 * European website bio: "Mario's arch-enemy is waiting for him in his castle..."

New Super Mario Bros. 2

 * North American website bio: "The colossal King of the Koopas is up to no good again—and with the Koopalings in tow, he might be unstoppable... Can you make it all the way to his castle?"

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."

Items descriptions

 * 8-bit Bowser Statue: "This pixelated Bowser statue calls back to a simpler time when there were only eight bits."
 * 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 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."

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.

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.

Tips
- Fire Breath: "Fire Breath loses power the longer it is used. Waiting a short time between bursts will allow it recharge."

- Bowser Bomb: "Bowser will leap into the air horns first. Hitting an opponent on the way up makes it much easier to clobber them again on the way down."

- Tough Guy: "Bowser's a real tough guy. When he's only lightly damaged, weaker attacks won't make him flinch."

- Whirling Fortress: "Repeatedly pressing the button while using this in midair will give you a small boost in how high you fly."

- Bowser Bomb: "If you land this on a shielding enemy, you can break their shield in one hit. Just make sure you capitalize afterward with a dropkick!"

- Bowser Bomb: "You can grab on to an edge while bombing, but only if you're really close to it. It's a quick albeit risky way to descend quickly."

- Fire Breath: "Once Bowser's used up his fire once, he needs time to recharge. Give him 10 seconds, and he'll be ready to roast!"

- Flying Slam: "Bowser's target has a bit of control over their direction in the air, too. The lower their damage, the more influence they have (but still not much)."

- Whirling Fortress: "Try using this right after shielding an enemy attack. Cancel the shield and whirl toward the enemy to counterattack!"

Words in Bold indicate exclusive to the Wii U version.

Super Smash Blog bio
"Who's the greatest nemesis of all!? It's King Bowser! In Super Smash Bros. his power and weight make him a reliable fighter. Use his Fire Breath to keep opponents at bay, then use his damaging attacks to launch them off the stage! He transforms into Giga Bowser for his Final Smash and delivers a super powerful punch!"

Profile
"A Koopa with big spikes, Bowser is an extremely strong competitor and will dominate the Power events with his big muscles. His nasty disposition makes him an intimidating competitor in any event that he enters, especially the hammer throw and javelin throw."

Profile
"Bowser is Mario's arch-enemy and leader of the Koopa race trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdom at every opportunity. Large and strong, this towering competitor has the Spinning Shell ability on the Wii and DS and Flame Dash ability on the DS. The snow will not slow down this member of Team Mario. You can be sure Bowser believes the gold medal has his name on it!"

Profile
"One of Mario's biggest rivals, Bowser is an extremely strong competitor and will dominate the Power events with his big muscles. His size makes him a formidable competitor in any event that he enters, especially the Hammer Throw and Javelin Throw."

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

 * Online Profile: "The fire-breathing Bowser isn't normally someone to be trifled with, and he's just as formidable out on the ice and snow."

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.

Website bio

 * The Koopa King's strength, fire breath, and large army of Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and more make him a constant threat to world peace.

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 it'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!

Who is your Mushroom Kingdom BFF?

amiibo

Bowser 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.''

Memories bio
''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.
