[[File:NSMB Minigame-Bowser Statue.PNG|frame|The Bowser Statue in Danger, Bob-omb! Danger!]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''{{'}} main game, Bowser Statues merely appear as a decoration for corridors leading to fights against Bowser. However, in the [[minigame]] [[Danger, Bob-omb! Danger!]], the mechanical Bowser Statue from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' is the primary obstacle. It moves around, shooting fire in an attempt to light a [[Bob-omb Buddy]]. Using the stylus, the player must help the Bob-omb Buddy escape from the fire. Likely due to it being a sprite instead of a model, the mechanical Bowser has a more stony appearance than in ''Double Dash!!''

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' various golden Bowser statues are seen in [[Bowser's Kingdom]]. Two of them appear in the area that [[Topper]] and [[Hariet]] are battled, with one being destroyed for each defeated. They have clothes based on the Japanese gods {{wp|Raijin}} and {{wp|Fūjin}}, the gods of thunder and wind, respectively.

Heads of golden Bowser statues can be found in some parts of the Kingdom as well. [[Cappy]] can be spun on both of their horns for [[coin]]s. Two large heads appear facing inward on a large arch towards the end of the [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]]-filled area at the top, and do nothing. Four large heads appear on the giant arch before the [[RoboBrood]] arena, where they let out flame every few seconds. However, since they are in the corners and are facing outwards, getting damaged by them requires jumping off of the structure. A much larger head appears on the front of the same arch, and has a [[Power Moon]] in the nose that can be obtained by [[Ground Pound]]ing on it.

Stone Bowser statues appear in the Underground Moon Caverns of the [[Moon Kingdom]]. One Bowser statue near the beginning of the caverns can be [[capture]]d and moved in order to reveal a hole underneath it with a [[Power Moon]].

Giant Bowser Statues reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', appearing in both a gray and golden variety like in ''Super Mario World''. The gold variant first appears in [[Secrets of Shova Mansion]], where a [[Shova]] pushes it during the level's [[Wonder Effect]], while the gray variant appears in [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage]], where it blocks the player's path, but is destroyed by a stampede of [[Bulrush]]es.

Bowser Statues, though never named, appear occasionally in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. Bowser Statues first appear in the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]", where one attacks Mario by shooting a fireball at him while he is traveling through [[Bowser's Castle|Neon Castle]]. Later in the episode, Mario accidentally stumbles upon another Bowser Statue, which proceeds to spit a fireball at him; Mario manages to narrowly avoid this fireball, which hits his [[Chargin' Chuck|Koopa Football Player]] pursuers. In a later episode, entitled "[[Mama Luigi]]", two Bowser Statues are shown to act as guards to the entrance of Neon Castle; additionally, a Bowser Statue is also found in the basement of Neon Castle. This Bowser Statue is eventually shut-down by Yoshi, who eats one of its spat fireballs and blasts the Bowser Statue with flames.

One large one appears in the first courtyard, and some smaller ones without arms appear in a later hall with horizontally-sliding [[Thwomp]]s.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', a single Bowser Statue, also called the '''Mechanical Bowser''',<ref>Hodgson, David S. J. ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 130.</ref> appears towards the end of [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)|Bowser's Castle]]. It slides horizontally along a rail next to a hairpin turn along the top of a castle wall where the track is, shooting large fireballs. These fireballs move at high speed at a single height and can prove dangerous to racers racing both towards and away from the titanic statue, particularly those attempting to perform the shortcut skipping over the hairpin, where spinning out may result in failing to make the jump and falling. It moves in a very jerky, mechanical manner.
In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', a single Bowser Statue called [[Mecha Bowser]] appears in [[Bowser's Castle (GCN)|Bowser's Castle]]. It can move in a jerky, robotic fashion, and it shoots fire that can hit the racers. It does not have a lower half, seeming to slide horizontally along a rail. It later reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''{{'}} [[Danger, Bob-omb! Danger!]] minigame as well as ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' Mecha Bowser appears in the new iteration of [[Bowser's Castle (Wii)|Bowser's Castle]], while the Bowser Statues from ''Mario Kart 64'' reappear in their original course, now all with hands and facial detail. The one in the courtyard can now hit races with its fire.

It overlooks the end of a long stretch in the center of the track, halfway through the course, now seemingly coming out of the [[lava]]. As racers drive towards it, it launches large fireballs that bounce along the middle of the track until they explode, acting as a hazard that adds a major risk factor to taking the middle&mdash;and fastest&mdash;route through the room. The racers then drive past Mecha Bowser on either side of it, as the track splits into two when it reaches the stone Koopa.

To get around these, the bros. must perform a [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]].
