Bowser, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

King Bowser Koopa (sometimes known as King Bowser, King Koopa or just Bowser) is the supreme leader of the Koopa Troop, king of the Koopas, and the arch-nemesis of Mario and Luigi. Repeatedly, he tries to kidnap Princess Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Occasionally, the Koopa King has attempted to conquer the entire Mushroom Planet.

Game Appearances

The Tiny Tyrant

Main Article: Baby Bowser

Bowser's first appearance chronologically was as a child in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. His baby form was quickly shown to have similar powers of his adult form. This was also his first meeting with Mario (as Baby Mario).

The first appearance of King Bowser in the original Super Mario Bros.

The First Mushroom Wars

Bowser's first appearance (release-wise) was Super Mario Bros.. In this game the now fully grown tyrant has fully emerged as the leader of the Koopa Troop, and is attempting to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. He turns many of the Kingdom's defenders into weeds, and kidnaps Princess Peach and her seven Mushroom Retainers, the only ones who know how to break the spell. He then turned seven of his minions into Fake Bowsers, and sent them to guard the Mushroom Retainers in seven different castles. He goes to an eighth castle where he hides the Princess.

Bowser had not counted on Mario and Luigi to show up. The heroes traversed through the Mushroom Kingdom, freeing the Mushroom Retainers and eventually reaching the eighth castle and fighting with Bowser himself. The Koopa King attacks by spitting Fireballs and throwing Hammers at the duo. He can be defeated by Mario or Luigi running under (or Jumping over) him and hitting an Axe behind him, taking away his platform and causing him to fall into the lava. At the end of the game, Bowser is defeated and the Mushroom Kingdom is saved.

Bowser does the exact same thing in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

The Conquest of the Lands

Bowser's second appearance was in Super Mario Bros. 3. This game gave gamers quite a surprise by introducing Bowser's children, Lemmy Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Ludwig Von Koopa, Roy Koopa, Wendy O. Koopa, Larry Koopa and Morton Koopa Jr. Bowser's children acted the same way that the Fake Bowsers did in Super Maio Bros., each one conquered a different land and turned the king of said land into a generic enemy, while Bowser resided in the eighth and final land. Mario and Luigi once again set out to defeat Bowser and his family. Throughout the game the heroes would receive helpful letters from Princess Peach, however after freeing the seventh land they get a letter from Bowser, which reveals that while they were saving the different lands Bowser had kidnapped the Princess. Mario and Luigi boldly make there way towards Bowser's Castle, for the final showdown. In the end the Koopa King is defeated once again and the Princess is saved.

The War for Dino Land

Bowser and the Koopalings reappeared in Super Mario World. Bowser kidnapped Princess Toadstool (who was on vacation there, along with the Mario Bros.( yet again, and he also kidnapped several Yoshis, friendly natives of the island who resisted his rule. Mario, Luigi, and a particularly heroic Yoshi (who was, oddly, named Yoshi) saved the princess and the captured Yoshis by defeating the Koopalings and King Bowser.

The boss fight in this game was unique in that Bowser and Mario battled on the roof of Bowser's castle while Bowser was in his Koopa Clown Car, throwing Mecha Koopas and Big Steelies at the hero. Mario could use the Mecha Koopas to his advantage by tossing them back at Bowser. After two hits, Bowser disappeared for a while, casting flames at Mario. However, his attack were countered by Princess Peach, who threw a Mushroom to Mario or Luigi After all this, Bowser would return and attempt to ram into Mario with his Koopa Clown Car. The cycle of attacks would then repeat. After this happened three times, Bowser was thrown off the roof of his castle, and the princess was rescued.

A Brief Alliance

Bowser actually served as Mario's ally in Super Mario RPG. He used Chain Chomps and his claws to attack, and his special moves often involved summoning his minions to attack.

At the beginning of the game, Bowser kidnapped Princess Toadstool as she was picking flowers at Mario's Pad. He flew her to his castle, Bowser's Keep, in his Koopa Clown Car. However, Mario was on his tail. The plumber burst into Bowser's throne room and fought him atop Bowser's chandeliers. But Bowser seemed to be unbeatable. Attacking with claws and spikes, Bowser was determined not to lose to Mario again. However, with some advice from the princess, Mario attacked the Kinklink chain holding up the chandelier. The chandelier and Bowser were sent plummeting to the ground below. However, Bowser threw Hammers at Mario's chain, sending him falling as well. On the ground, Mario Jumped on top of Bowser, giving him a boost up to the princess.

Bowser and Mario's rivalry escalates in Super Mario 64.

After the battle, a huge sword named Exor crashed into Bowser's Keep, sending Mario, Toadstool, and Bowser flying in different directions, scattering them across the world. Bowser's Keep was taken over by Exor and Smithy's gang. Bowser ended up near Rose Way. Once there, he decided to join forces with Mario, (even going as far as naming Mario, Geno and Mallow honorary members of the Koopa Troop) until his castle was won back. Even after his castle is rescued he helps Mario and his Party for a bit longer, because (as Geno points out) the castle will not be safe until Smithy was defeated.

The Attack on the Castle

In both of these games, Bowser did not technically "kidnap" the princess, but invaded her castle and trapped the princess, along with many Toads in the paintings of the castle. In this game, Mario defeated Bowser by grabbing his tail and throwing him into one of several bombs surrounding the battle arena. Mario had to fight him thrice in order to save the princess.

Paper Bowser

Template:PM1enemy

Bowser, aided by Kammy Koopa, second in command of the Koopa Troop, took control of the Princess's castle by lifting it into the air with the power of the Star Rod in Paper Mario. Mario, along with his friends Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Bow, Watt, Sushie and Lakilester, had to rescue the Seven Star Spirits in order to use the Star Beam, which would deactivate the Star Rod. After the initial fight against Bowser, he retreated to the roof of his castle. Using the Power Platform Kammy Koopa built, Kammy boosted his size and power to ensue his victory. The Star Beam failed to work against Bowser. However, Princess Peach discovered that by wishing for Mario's strength to increase, and Twink granted her wish by giving Mario the Peach Beam.

Now that Mario was able to negate the Star Rod's effects, he had no problem taking Bowser down and returning everything to the way it once was.

Paper Mario was significant because it revealed another of Bowser's motives for kidnaping Peach; he has a crush on her and hopes to steal her away from Mario.

Bowser's Ghost

Bowser didn't appear in Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo GameCube - instead, King Boo used a Bowser suit. It is unknown if King Boo actually possessed Bowser's corpse (according to Madame Clairvoya, the fortune-teller ghost) - but Bowser was indeed "soundly defeated" before the events of Luigi's Mansion. Another possibility is that King Boo simply used a Bowser suit. Information on this debatable subject can be found on the King Boo article.

During battle, the Bowser suit could only be defeated after a spiked ball was thrown at the Bowser head. Once that happened, King Boo would be exposed and Luigi could suck him up with his Poltergust 3000. Another fact that proves that it was a suit, and not the real Bowser was that when King Boo's energy got low and retreated to the body, he screwed the head on backwards!

Island Takeover

Bowser masterminded yet another evil plan to kidnap the princess in Super Mario Sunshine, this time stooping so low as to use his son, Bowser Jr., as a pawn. Bowser told his son that Princess Peach was his mother and that Mario was a bad man who stole her. He urged him to take Peach back. Bowser Jr. took on the disguise of Shadow Mario, filled Isle Delfino with graffiti, and framed Mario. Mario, determined to prove his innocence, cleaned up the mess with FLUDD. While Mario was washing away the graffiti, Bowser Jr. kidnapped the princess.

Bowser Jr. and Bowser fought together against Mario in the end, although they inevitably lost. Later, Bowser Jr. revealed to his father that he knew all along that Peach was not his mother, and that he couldn't wait for another chance to take Mario down. Bowser couldn't be more proud of his son.

The Journey to the Beanbean Kingdom

File:Bowser.jpg
Official art of Bowser from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Bowser helped Mario again in the third Mario RPG, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - but not for long. Bowser takes the brothers on the Koopa Cruiser to Beanbean Kingdom, but the Koopa Cruiser is brought down by Fawful. Bowser ended up falling in a large cannon, and a troublemaker named Tolstar of the Beanbean Kingdom promised to embarrass Bowser by telling the humiliating incident to the entire kingdom unless Mario and Luigi could provide him with a hundred coins. Eventually, the StarShade Bros. came along and shot Bowser out of the cannon.

Rookie

The next time the Mario Bros. see him, the great Koopa King has amnesia and is working for Popple, the Shadow Thief. While accompanying Popple, Bowser adopts the name 'Rookie'. Mario and Luigi fight Rookie and Popple twice in the game before Bowser regains his memory.

Bowletta

However, as soon as Bowser remembers who he is, Cackletta possesses his body and becomes Bowletta. Bowletta kidnaps Peach, which leaves Mario and Luigi with the task of rescuing her. Bowletta takes command of the Koopa Troop, including the Koopalings, and launches a massive military strike against the Beanbean Kingdom. After Mario and Luigi defeat Bowletta, the brothers are taken into her stomach to fight Cackletta's spirit for the final battle. When she is completely destroyed, Bowser returns to normal, only to be put in a package later on by Prince Peasly.

Crystal Stars

Template:Ttydenemy

Bowser also appeared as a minor villain in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. In this game, Bowser had many cut scenes in which he was a playable character. These scenes were often quite humorous and involved Bowser traveling through a side-scrolling world similar to the ones in Super Mario Bros. Bowser tried to collect the Crystal Stars before Mario, but, ultimately, failed to find any of them.

Mario and his friends Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, a Yoshi Kid, Vivian, Bobbery and Ms. Mowz fought Bowser twice during the game; once in the Glitz Pit, and once before Sir Grodus woke the Shadow Queen in the Palace of Shadow.

Back To The Past

In the game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Baby Bowser appears in the beginning, kidnapping Baby Peach. Baby Mario and Luigi fight and defeat him. Baby Bowser frequently returns (swallowing two Cobalt Star shards, stealing a huge pile of Yoshi Cookies, etc.). Eventually, after Princess Shroob (disguised as Princess Peach) is brought to the present, Bowser pops in, grabs Princess Shroob, and flees. However, he falls off the balcony and into a time hole, where he meets his younger self. (which he mistakes to be some bratty kid) They team up and fight Mario and Luigi inside Thwomp Volcano. When they're defeated, they all get abducted by Shroobs, but Bowser falls out and lands in a time hole back to the present. When Mario and Luigi defeat the Elder Princess Shroob, she turns into a small mushroom. Back in the present, Bowser eats it and becomes Shrowser, who fights Mario and Luigi (and doesn't allow them to attack). After this, the Elder Shroob is completely destroyed, and Bowser faints with the brothers doing a victory pose on him.

Back to his roots

Bowser and Bowser Jr. devised a new plan to kidnap Peach in New Super Mario Bros.. First, they distracted Mario by sending a thunder cloud to strike Peach's castle with lightning. (This may have been the doing of Lakithunder.) While Mario was taking care of the castle, Bowser Jr. made off with the princess. Mario fought Bowser as the first boss. This boss fight was similar to the one in Super Mario Bros. Shockingly, Bowser died in the first world when he fell into the lava, becoming an undead monster with an appearance similar to that of a huge Dry Bones. His undead form was the next-to-last boss. At the end of the game, Bowser Jr. revived his father in a giant pot of magic potion, and the duo fought Mario one last time.

Other Appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Bowser is a playable character with three trophies. His moves are:

  • Fire Breath (neutral B)
  • Koopa Klaw (smash B)
  • Whirling Fortress (up B)
  • Bowser Bomb (down B)

Also, there are other trophies related to Bowser, such as Baby Bowser and the Koopa Clown Car.

Additionally, a character named Giga Bowser appears.

Bowser is a very big, strong, and slow character; making him a key character to deliver strong attacks, but even though having a shell, he has terrible defensive abilities. His amazing bulk allows him to do his somewhat signature move, the body crushing, belly-to-belly Body slam (Grab with Z, down).

Trophies

Regular Trophy

Description: 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.
Unlock: Beat Classic Mode as Bowser.

Smash-1 Trophy

Description: 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.
Unlock: Beat Adventure Mode as Bowser.

Smash-2 Trophy

Description: 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.
Unlock: Beat All-Star Mode as Bowser.

Mario Kart Series

Bowser has appeared as a playable character in virtually all of the games in the massive Mario Kart sub-series, including the original Super Mario Kart, to the more recent Mario Kart DS. In Mario Kart: Double Dash! his partner was Bowser Jr.,his special item was the Bowser Shell, and his special Kart was the Koopa King. He is always a heavyweight character, and most of the Mario Kart games give him his own course, aptly named Bowser's Castle.

Mario Golf Series

Bowser is usually a default playable character in the Mario Golf games. But in Mario Golf: Advance Tour, he is unlockable and can only be unlocked by transferring data to and from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.

Mario Tennis Series

Bowser also appeared in the Mario Tennis Series where he was playable in every one there was.

Mario Party Series

Bowser has appeared as an enemy in the Mario Party series since the first game, causing chaos and coin-loss on the players. He is often given his own space, which when landed on by the Player will teleport him/her into bowser's presence. There are multiple mini-games based around Bowser, from blowing him up (and losing if you do), to a multitude of mini-games where if a character loses, Bowser takes his or her coins or a star. Throughout the series, Bowser has taken many forms, mostly in Mario Party 2

Black Hole Bowser

Black Hole Bowser is the villain terrorizing Space Land. He is always seen in a spaceship, which, strangely enough, is not similar to the Koopa Clown Car. At the end, the winner must battle Black Hole Bowser. Black Hole Bowser has an on-board tractor beam that takes all coins from whoever it hits. It fires every time the countdown goes from 5 to 0. This happens every time a player passes through the central part of the board, where there are four different ways to go.

Bowser Sphinx

The Bowser Sphinx is the villain of Mystery Land. He can be recognized by being a Bowser wearing an Egyptian-style collar. At the end, the Bowser Sphinx will challenge a Koopa Troopa to a game of riddles in order to win the aliens' gold statue, (the aliens are actually Bob-ombs). The Koopa succededs, but is punished anyway and put into a rock. The winner of the game then challenges the Bowser Sphinx to another game of riddles. The player guesses correctly, the Bowser Sphinx disappears and the statue breaks to reval the alien that was trapped inside. The other aliens come to take their rescued comrade away on their spaceship.

A similar entity appears in Mario Party 7 in Pyramid Park, but as a regular Sphinx, not Bowser himself.

Bowser the Brash

Bowser the Brash is the Old West-style alter-ego of King Bowser. He is the villain of Western Land. The outlaw wears a cowboy hat. At the end of the Western Land party, the winning player must save a Koopa Troopa banker from Bowser the Brash. A duel with cheap pop-cork guns is fought to save the money.

Cap'n Bowser

Captain Bowser is the pirate-style alter-ego of Bowser. He wears and eye patch over his left eye and his weapon, like the rest of the Pirate Land characters, is a saber sword. His appearance at the completion of a Pirate Land game sees him trying to prevent a Koopa Troopa from taking a bundle of treasure so he can take it for himself. The character who won the game would sword fight with Captain Bowser and defeat him to save the Koopa Troopa.

A form of King Koopa similar to Captain Bowser also appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Rolling Down the River / The Mario Monster Mash" as "Captain Koopa".

Wizard Bowser

Wizard Bowser is a vampire-style alter-ego of Bowser. He wears a long black cape and wields a wand that shoots red circles out of it. At the end of the Horror Land party, the winning player would use 'Magic of Truth' to defeat Wizard Bowser.

Portrayals

File:King.jpg
King Koopa in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.

He is voiced/portrayed by:

  • Harvey Atkin in the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.
  • Scott Burns in most of the video games.
  • Dennis Hopper in the Super Mario Bros. movie.

Personality

Bowser's personality at first was like one of a stereotypical villain with no feeling. But more recently, Bowser has been a very humorous character. It is especially shown in the Paper Mario series where he has especially humorous quotes, such as "Nobody can capture the princess without my say-so!". In the Mario Party series he often wants to ruin the party in various ways,sometimes strange. One example is in Mario Party 7 where he gives the player ten coins so he can do something bad about them. He, overall has a very amusing personality that is easily noted about him.

He also recently was shown in many games that he is not very intelligent. One particular example is in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time where he doesn't recognize his past self and starts insulting him.

Physical Description and Traits

Bowser, as seen today is huge, green, bipedal, Spiny. Though probably not meant to look at all like a Spiny, he does not that much, as Spinies are red, quadrupedal, and have a small amount of spikes. He was probably made to look like a giant Koopa with spikes and horns as his original name was King Koopa. He has bright orange hair and eyebrows, which were actually not in his original game, Super Mario Bros., in which time it has extremely hard to animate hair. He also has two small horns, many spikes on his back, and a couple spikes on his tail too. He has many spiked collars around his neck and arms, making it possible that he is slightly immobile. He has three claws on each of his big, fat feet. His feet slow him down very notably. While his face and his back are green, his underbelly and tail are yellow. But in the original Mario bros, his underbelly was green as well. His tan lips are extremely bulged, even up to having his nostrils on them. On each of his hands there are four claws. These hands are probably not one of his disadvantages, unlike his feet. His eyes are always a bit menacing, because of his eyebrows. Though color is barely detectable, his eyes are very slightly red.

Roles Taken

Bowser has taken on various roles in the many games he is in. In most games he is the main villain, such as Super Mario Bros. 3, in other games he is the secondary villain, such as in Paper Mario:The Thousand-Year Door. He is a notably good sports player and race car driver, known for being very aggressive and powerful in these games. In some games he is shown to love Princess Peach for the reason of his kidnapping. But recently he has shown that he just wants to be the villain, often breaking the fourth wall in these statements.

Powers and Abilities

Bowser has many Powers and Abilities, this lists quite a few:

  • Fire. Flamethrowing is Bowser's trademark attack, in New Super Mario Bros., he is shown to be able to shoot blue flames as well as orange. Fire is also one of his weaknesses.
  • Hammers. Bowser is shown to have the ability to throw hammers at Mario with amazing speed. Strangely, Mario's Hammer is yet another one of his weaknesses.
  • Swimming. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Bowser is shown to have good swimming abilities, just like Mario. He apparently doesn't really like swimming though.
  • Meat. Bowser apparently has a huge attraction to meat, as in the side-scrolling special levels of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Bowser will grow huge if he eats some meat.

Those are just about all of Bowser's many Powers and Abilities.

Relationships with other Characters

Here is a list of the relationships Bowser has with other characters:

Mario

Mario is Bowser's arch-nemesis, as Mario continuously saves Princess Peach from him. They don't get along, but don't seem to really hate each other either. Mario and Bowser have put their differences aside to work together on a few occasions, such as Super Mario RPG and Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Princess Peach

Bowser has expressed a romantic attraction to Princess Peach, though the feeling isn't at all mutual. Still, Bowser is typically more civil and less rough around the Princess, as seen in Paper Mario.

Luigi

Luigi relationship to Bowser is similar to Mario's, just not as extreme. Luigi doesn't hate Bowser as much because he sees him less.

Koopalings

Bowser Jr. is Bowser's son, and so far the only child that's been shown to have any sort of interaction with him. From Super Mario Sunshine, it can be seen that Bowser is very proud of Junior, and cares a lot about him. So far, the games haven't shown any dialogue with his other kids.

Yoshi

Yoshi has also had many adventures with Bowser as the main villain too. Though he helped Yoshi when he was young, Bowser then betrayed Yoshi.

Toad

Toad has shown no real relationship with Bowser. Toad often tries to protect Peach from Bowser, but he gets kidnapped just as mercilessly as the princess. Luigi's Mansion showed that the mere mention of Bowser scared Toad.

Bowser's Family

Trivia

  • In Bowser's Mega Strike in Mario Strikers Charged, he shoots himself up into the air like a rocket, even with fire trailing behind him. As soon as he is suspended next to the ball in midair, he ducks down for a split-second, and grabs the ball with his hands. After this is done, he turns at metallic gray, his spikes grow slightly, including his claws, his hair turns to fire, his eyes turn a firey red, and he leans back to throw the ball. When the transformation is complete, he throws the ball down at the field, towards the goalie, with major speed.
  • In Mario Party Advance, Bowser claims to have an IQ of 9,800.
  • Bowser is the only member of the Big Eight to not star in a game of his own
