==History==
===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
===''Super Mario-kun''===
{{main|Mekakuppa}}
The concept of a robotic ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' Bowser was first used in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''; the robot, [[Mekakuppa]], has the Japanese name of Mecha-Bowser, though both are also shared with the usual name for [[Mechakoopa]]s.
 
===''Super Mario'' (series)===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Mecha-Bowser is found in [[Mecha-Bowser Appears!|Episode 1]] of [[Pinna Park]] and is controlled by [[Bowser Jr.]] To fight it, Mario, riding the park's [[Pinna Park#Roller Coaster|Roller Coaster]], must collect and fire [[water rocket]]s (via [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]) at Mecha-Bowser. Mecha-Bowser attacks by shooting [[Bullet Bill]]s at Mario, and by breathing fire on the Roller Coaster track, which can be doused using FLUDD. After enough hits, the robot explodes, and Bowser Jr. pilots its head away to escape.
