Summary

Bowser, sometimes known as King Koopa (Japanese: 大魔王クッパ, Daimaō Kuppa or "Great Demon King Koopa"), is the main antagonist of the Mario series and the King of the Koopas. He has repeatedly kidnapped or attempted to kidnap Princess Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom. He has also attempted to conquer other lands, such as the Mushroom World, Dinosaur Land, Sprixie Kingdom, and even the entire universe. Despite his villainous nature, he has occasionally helped the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom against common threats and participates with them in their numerous sporting events in spin-off games.

Since his debut, Bowser has been in nearly every Mario game, including the main series, spin-offs, and crossovers. Due to his role as the primary villain of the Mario series, he is mostly the final or penultimate boss in his appearances, if not as the main antagonist (an example being Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga). In the Mario RPGs, Bowser is generally cast as an antihero or a minor villain, with the exception of Paper Mario, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.

Successfully runs an entire kingdom and army, having set up complete tyranny on global and even galactic scales that were only thwarted by the intervention of Mario. Created a bubble machine that could trap the fun of the Party Islands and create duplicates of various Mario characters as well as a perfect copy of himself that he constantly used to trick the heroes in order to catch them off guard later.

1/4

Fire: What this reptilian tyrant is known for. It is Bowser's signature attack and he is able to make use of this with a multitude of diverse applications:

• Fire Breath: Bowser's signature attack and probably the most skilled fire breather in the series as he is able to breathe fire in various ways. Bowser will breathe fire either in large streams or individual large fireballs. He also uses this move to make a fiery rain and breath different colored fire that has unique effects such as breathing blue fireballs that homes onto his target. Bowser have occasionally shown to be even embed his physical attacks such as claw swipes and tail whips with fire.

• Fire Storm: Bowser breathes a large stream of fire that acts as a whip. Hitting opponents with it cause them to be cloaked in fire, run uncontrollably, and reverse their normal movements.

• Fire Breath Barrage: Bowser's Special Shot in Mario Tennis Aces. First, he roars and begins breathing a stream of flames on his racket, setting it on fire. He then jumps high and quickly spins in the air while leaving trails of fire before hitting the ball.

• Fury Blast: An enhanced version of his normal Fire Breath. This version of his iconic attack is only used by Fury Bowser, in which he unleashes a large stream of fire in a single direction of his choosing.

• K.O. Punch.
• Shockwaves.
• Fury.

1/3

K.O. Punch: Bowser will charge up his fist with some form of energy before unleashing a devastating punch on his opponent.

Dashing Punch: Bowser will slide forwards as if he were on ice at high speeds while holding his fist out.

Spiked Shell: Like the Koopa Troopas, Bowser can retreat into his shell and start spinning around at high speeds and ramming into the opponent.

Spike Shot: Bowser will either shoot spikes from his claws or shell at his opponent.

Shockwaves: Bowser will stomp or hit the ground so hard, he will generate shockwaves. The shockwaves will occasionally have an electric or fiery effect.

Fury: A double-edged status alignment that activates when Bowser takes several hits, glowing red and roaring upon activation. All of his attacks will double in power but he also receives double the damage from his opponents as well.

• Bowser Crush.
• Illusionary Hats.
• Gravity Inversion.

1/3

Magic: Alongside his usual tactics for combatting his foes, Bowser is also no stranger to using magic to achieve what he desires.

• Transmutation: A personal favorite of his, Bowser will cast a spell on his target(s) that will change them into helpless stone bricks, blocks, plants, frogs, apples, or even obedient monsters, being able to affect entire populations of a country at once with the spell with ease.

• Bowser Crush: Bowser will create a giant green Mechakoopa to stampede over his opponents.

• Illusionary Hats: Bowser will create illusionary hats to throw at his opponent, despite being illusions they can physically harm anyone they touch.

• Gravity Inversion: Bowser will alter his targets gravity to fling them to his desired destination, being able to move even those who can withstand and somewhat resist the gravitational pull of a black hole, he can also alter his own gravity to achieve the same effects.

• Endless Distance: Bowser will distort and manipulate the very fabric of space itself to create what seems to be an infinite amount of distance. Using this technique,Bowser will create a spatial loop that traps his targets at the start leaving them unable to get near him.

• Bowser Curse: Bowser will place a curse on his target that will allow him to control their movements, having been shown to make them take steps they didn't mean or want too, or force them to turn around and walk in the opposite direction.

• Mario ground-pounding.

1/1

Ground Pound: Introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3, the Ground Pound is a move usually executed by crouching in midair, but it is sometimes used by pressing the jump button twice instead (usually in Mario Party minigames). When the move is used, the character slams their rear end on the ground, which can cause many results. Bowser is no exception, as he's also shown to perform a Ground Pound should the need arise.

Poison Gas: Bowser will create a fog of poison gas that will damage and poison his opponents. He can also utilize poison attacks with his claws and bites.

Terrorize: Bowser will summon a giant Boo to strike fear into his opponents. This will cause damage and inflict the Fear status on his opponents.

Crusher: Bowser will make a giant jagged rock spire up from the ground beneath his foes.

Magic Weapon: Bowser will forge a weapon made of pure energy in shape of a hockey stick. This move is only seen in Mario Sport Mix.
