'''Bowser???''' is a [[List of bosses|boss]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It is a large, mechanical effigy of [[Bowser]] controlled by the [[Koopa Bros.]] It is used by them in order to fool Mario into thinking that it is indeed the Koopa King. Bowser??? only possesses one attack, in which the Koopa Bros. roll the mech over to Mario and hit him with its hand. Throughout the battle, the Koopa Bros. also taunt Mario from inside Bowser??? after attacking him.

'''Bowser???''' is a [[boss]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It is controlled by the [[Koopa Bros.]], but is actually weaker than the Koopa Bros. themselves. It only has one attack: hitting [[Mario]] with its hand. It has more defense than most enemies, but [[Bombette]] can bypass its defense.
Bowser??? appears to be made out of cloth for the skin and shell, buttons for the eyes, and cardboard for its arms and legs. Under the feet is a cart that allows it to move. The fact that Bowser??? is fake is revealed by its overall appearance, and is proven when the Koopa Bros. are conversing from inside of it during the battle. Before the battle, the Koopa Bros. are arguing that someone is "being a hog" and should "move over", which suggests there are multiple occupants inside, in a manner akin to a Chinese marching dragon or pantomime horse costume; in fact, the theme song that plays in this fight is called "Trojan Bowser" which is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Trojan Horse|Trojan Horse]] in Greek mythology. After being defeated, Bowser??? breaks into pieces and falls into the prison cell used to hold the [[Bob-omb]]s, followed by the Koopa Bros. emerging to fight Mario themselves. A picture of [[Princess Peach]] can be seen inside Bowser???'s shell when it is defeated, and more clearly after the Koopa Bros. are defeated and launched to the prison cell.


Bowser??? seems to be made out of cloth and what may be cardboard or metal, and its purpose was to fool Mario into thinking that it was indeed [[Bowser|the Koopa King]] (to create the illusion that it was invincible, as the real Bowser was at the time). The fact that Bowser??? was false was revealed by its overall appearance, and was proven when voices were heard from inside its abdomen. They were arguing that someone was "being a hog" and should "move over", which clearly suggested there were multiple occupants inside, in a manner akin to a Chinese marching dragon or pantomime horse costume. After being defeated, Bowser???  breaks into pieces and falls into the prison cell used to hold the [[Bob-omb]]s (which the Koopa Bros. also eventually fall into). A picture of [[Princess Peach]] can then be seen on the bottom part of Bowser???
The background music used in the fight with Bowser??? is an arrangement of Bowser's theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
