Talk:Bowser/Archive 1

i think it should be noted that there is much controversy in the mario fan community about bowser and king koopa being different ppl. personally i think the differences are quite easy to spot--Valf 10:36, 15 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Well, Bowser is called Koopa in Japan. Bowser is Koopa and Koopa is Bowser. In the Mario cartoons, Koopa looks strange because he was modeled after Wart from Super Mario Bros. 2. Additionally, most of Koopa's forces in the cartoons are from Super Mario Bros. 2. Wart's features were made more reptilian to create Koopa. Additionally, the King Koopa version of Bowser appeared on official U.S. merchandise of Mario under the name Bowser.--Son of Suns 14:35, 15 May 2006 (EDT)

The second image on this article does not look too good. Would anyone mind if I removed it? Thanks. MC Otaku 01:53, 31 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Heh, please do, Otaku. It would be nice if you found something to replace it with first, though, like finding an image of Bowser in his kart. DarkInsanity (talk)


 * How does this work? MC Otaku 19:24, 2 June 2006 (EDT)
 * Edit: Wait, somebody already got that. Never mind.

Question
Didn't Nintendo origanally say Koopa/Bowser died in paper Mario, but no one believed them, so they gave King Boo that Koopa/Bowser suit to prove it? And then they changed thier minds? HK


 * I don't know is Nintendo officially stated Bowser died, but I don't think they would kill of their biggest villain. In Luigi's Mansion, Madame Clairvoya states Bowser has been "soundle defeated". Many consider this to mean Bowser died, but this could mean the Bowser was just beat up so much he couldn't fight for a while. Thus the suit at the end could be Bowser's corpse or a robotic (or magical) suit. But, Bowser did die in the New Super Mario Bros. and became an undead monster. However, he was just revived to his normal self. That means if Bowser died before Luigi's Mansion, he could have been simply revived. --Son of Suns 12:30, 28 June 2006 (EDT)

Yes, I havent beat sunshine, but maybe something there says he was revived by JR before that, too? HK
 * No. There is no mention of resurection in the entire game. It's just implied if you believe Bowser died before Luigi's Mansion. Like I said, Bowser could be in hiding, so weak after the battle in Paper Mario that he had to take a break and send both King Boo and his son to do his dirty work for him. Also, Luigi's Mansion cannot be the last game chronologically. This is because Professor E. Gadd invents the Poltergust 3000 in this game, but invents the Super Poltergust 3001 in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and the Poltergust 4000 in Mario Kart DS. If Luigi's Mansion was last chronologically, then the Poltergust Luigi uses would have to have a higher number than previous Poltergust models. --Son of Suns 15:05, 28 June 2006 (EDT)
