==History==

[[File:Bowser_Impostor_All-Stars_Version.png|thumb|A fake Bowser in ''Super Mario All-Stars''.]]

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the seven fake Bowsers are placed in each [[castle]], with [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|Bowser's Castle]] containing the real one. Defeating a fake Bowser with five [[fireball]]s reveals that they are really just common enemies disguised as Bowser. The enemies and their abilities are:

Like Bowser, the blue [[Bowser's Brother]] in World D-4 is also a fake revealed to be a Spiny when defeated with fireballs, and only breathes fire. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', both of these fakes are replaced with the real ones, although Bowser's Brother is now green and looks identical to his twin.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a fake Bowser appears as a boss in the [[World-e]] level [[Classic World 1-4]], where it plays a similar role to that played in ''Super Mario Bros.'', though it looks identical to the game's real Bowser. It is revealed that the fake Bowser is a Goomba if it is defeated with fireballs.

While typical fake Bowsers do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', variants powered by [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] known as [[Tail Bowser]]s make their first appearance.

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', fake Bowsers appear at the end of the [[fortress]] levels in Worlds [[World 1 (Super Mario Run)|1]], [[World 3 (Super Mario Run)|3]] and [[World 5 (Super Mario Run)|5]]. They are a Goomba, a green Koopa Troopa, and a Buzzy Beetle, respectively.
