“Hear me! I will kidnap Peach OVER and OVER until I pull it off! And no one can stop me! Losing is not an option! And neither is giving up!” —Bowser, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team King Bowser Koopa, often simply Bowser and 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 Koopa. He has repeatedly kidnapped or attempted to kidnap Princess Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom. He has on other occasions attempted to conquer the entire Mushroom World, as well as 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 and 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, and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. www.mariowiki.com/Bowser Check out my Bio BWA HA HA HA HA HA! :thumb163384236: :thumb129925863: :thumb147342654: :thumb276914475: Nicknames and Aliases King of the Koopa / King of the Koopas / Koopa King (Various) King Koopa (Japanese name and other media such as cartoons) Koopa (Japanese name and other media such as cartoons) King Bowser (Various) Lord Bowser (Paper Mario series) Big dude (Baby Bowser) Fungus Cap Ka-Hoopa Cap'n Bowser Bowser the Brash Wizard Bowser Bowser Sphinx Black Hole Bowser The King of Awesome Mr. Bowser (Merlon, Koopa Kid) Mr. Getsfoiledallthetimebytheredguywiththemoustache (Mr. L) Arm Flailer (Dimentio) Large Angry Bowser Guy (Birdley) Mr. Violent Face-Puncher (Birdley) The Great Bowser His/Your Queasiness (Kamek) His/Your Grouchiness (Kammy Koopa) His/Your Gnarliness (Kammy Koopa) His/Your Filthiness (Kammy Koopa) His/Your Rancidness (Kammy Koopa) His/Your Awfulness (Kammy Koopa) His/Your Massiveness (Kammy Koopa) His/Your Chunkiness (Kammy Koopa) His/Your Ghastliness (Kammy Koopa) Your Grunginess (Kammy Koopa) Your Sogginess (Kammy Koopa) Your Ungratefulness (Kamek) Your Wretchedness (Kammy Koopa) Your Rottenness (Magikoopa) Your Surliness (Various) Your Beefiness (Magikoopa) Your Rudeness (Various) Your Forgetfullness (Corporal Paraplonk) His Touchiness (Kamek) His Groomness (Various) Your Rashness (Goomba) The Boss of Bwahaha (Nintendo) King Dad (Koopalings) Pop (Koopalings) Big B (Iggy Koopa) Daddykins (Kootie Pie) Papa (Bowser Jr.) Dad (Bowser Jr., Koopalings) Koopa Stoopa (Toad and Princess Toadstool) Koopums (His mother) Rookie (Popple) Monsieur Turtle Bits (Broque Monsieur) Monster (Lubba) Mr. Big Bowser Guy (Toad) Dr. Big Bowser Pants (Toad) Powers and Abilities
Bowser is strongly associated with fire. Bowser possess various abilities, the more prominent of which being his fire breath. He can produce continuous flares or flurries of individual fireballs, and as seen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario, he can even use his fire breath underwater. He has been shown to cause fiery rain in Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros U, while in Super Mario 64 and New Super Mario Bros., he can produce blue flames that home in on Mario. Bowser is very proud of his fire breath, and is immensely displeased to find himself temporarily unable to use his flames in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. In the PC version of Mario is Missing!, Bowser is immune to fireballs, however this is not the case in most other games. Similarly, while lava defeats Bowser in many games, including the original Super Mario Bros., or New Super Mario Bros. (in which it skeletonizes him into Dry Bowser), in other titles, he appears to be resistant to it, such as New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Bowser's near immunity and the fact that he always recovers from his defeats is another hallmark of his capabilities. As well as being submerged in lava, Bowser has also fallen great distances, been blown up, crushed, electrocuted, flash frozen and shattered, yet not one of these defeats has been permanent, with Luigi once remarking that "Bowser's survived far worse" after the Koopa appeared to sacrifice himself to save the others from a collapsing roof in Super Paper Mario. Bowser's playable side-scrolling sections in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door show him to have infinite lives, which may explain his durability.
Another hallmark of the Koopa King is Bowser's raw physical strength and power. Bowser is often the most powerful character in sports games, and in Super Paper Mario, his attack stat as twice that of the other heroes. He can easily break through boulders and topple enemies many times his own size, and in Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story, when Mario and Luigi stimulate his muscles with minigames, Bowser can move islands and lift giant stone statues, among other things. Like his fire breath, Bowser takes pride in his strength, and is quick to use punches, claw swipes, tackles, stomps, body slams and other physical attacks in battle.
Unlike his strength, Bowser's speed and agility is not consistent between games. Bowser is usually slower than Mario, like in Super Paper Mario, the Super Smash Bros. games and most sports titles, although despite being the slowest runner in the Mario & Sonic summer Olympics, with a 2/10 stat, in the winter games, he has an 8/10 stat. In Super Mario 64 Bowser can jump incredible heights and make short charges as Mario, and while he can't climb ladders in Super Paper Mario, both it and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door show him to be a good swimmer, although the later reveals that he dislikes the activity.
In the original Super Mario Bros., Bowser throws hammers at Mario, like a Hammer Bro., and this ability reappears in various games, including Super Princess Peach, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and New Super Mario Bros. 2. Several games also show Bowser causing shockwaves with his ground pounding, and he can also duck into his spiked shell and spin or roll around to attack. In Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Bowser can attack his enemies using bites, with the latter game giving him the ability to poison others with his fangs, while the former gives him a poisonous claw attack. Like these poisonous moves, another uncommonly seen skill is Bowser's lightning power, which only appears in Hotel Mario and the opening cutscene of Super Mario Galaxy. Both games also make use of Bowser's teleporting ability, as he uses it to bring Peach to his hotel in Hotel Mario and teleports away after his first two defeats in Super Mario Galaxy; he also teleports across the battlefield if the player comes near him in Super Mario 64.
Bowser transforming into Giga Bowser. According to the Super Mario Bros. instruction booklet, Bowser is a skilled user in dark magic, using it turn the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom into blocks and other items. While this aspect of Bowser's abilities is not seen in many other games, he makes use of similar magic to shrink players in Mario Party 4 and turn a Koopa Troopa into a frog in Mario Party 2. Bowser can also transform himself, such as turning into a giant boulder during his final fights with Mario in Super Mario Galaxy, or changing into Giga Bowser in the Super Smash Bros. games, which grants him numerous new powers, such as the ability to freeze opponents. In the anime film, Super Mario Bros.: Pīchi-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen! he has the ability to shapeshift into anything he desires, and he can drastically change his size in various games.

Bowser, I made a story on a website called quotev based off of the final boss in Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door (You weren't the final boss in that game. It was a possessed form of Princess Peach herself by the Shadow Queen), and I added you into the story on Mario's side against the Shadow Queen. Here's the link to my story: www.quotev.com/story/10011310/…
Let me know what you thought of it after you're done reading it.
Bowser, I saw on a video on YouTube that in the game Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door, Princess Peach got possessed by the soul of the demon Shadow Queen. I hated seeing that happen, but it was a good thing that Mario defeated her (the Shadow Queen) and got her out of Peach's body. What would you have done if you saw Peach get possessed by the Shadow Queen?
Hey Bowser. I've got a question. In the story mode of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for the DS, when the player/ Mario or Sonic made it to you and Eggman, why'd you say "Fools! Think you can just saunter in on my home turf?" to greet them? Princess Peach was on their team and to me, it seemed like you were calling her a fool too. Did you even see Peach with them?
