He is noticably larger than all the other characters. He is mostly yellow with a green shell. Several large spikes are located both on his tail and on his shell. He sports a tuft of red hair on top of his head. Although his abilities vary from game to game, he is able to breathe fire in most of them. Voice Actors.
This is because the game was originally conceived as Doki Doki Panic , which happens to have borrowed many Mario elements beforehand. King Totomesu, the first boss of Super Mario Land , fits the bill a bit more closely than the game's Big Bad Tatanga, being a large red-and-yellow fire-breathing creature fought on a bridge. Wario was originally conceived as one of these. As an exaggerated Evil Counterpart to Mario, Wario was depicted as a bigger, fatter, crazier, and more powerful version of the iconic red plumber, as well as a straightforward villain.
He would undergo Divergent Character Evolution in later games and become a comic relief anti-hero, headlining a series of adventure games and another series of quirky minigame collections. Much like how Bowser is a father to the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. Both of them also wear spiked cuffs. The Legend of Zelda 's Big Bad , Ganon who came from the same creator as Bowser , started out as mostly one of these, although he was always intended to be a lot scarier than Bowser.
But by the third game , Princess Zelda is just one of the seven maidens who Ganon's servant Agahnim needs to seal in crystal to bring him back into the world. Despite being a big, menacing tyrant with an army of Wicked Weasels , a horrifying voice, and even a similar facial structure to Bowser, he's an incompetent manchild who doesn't even survive long enough to be the Final Boss.
Baron Dante from Croc is a big green-skinned monster king with a deep voice and magic powers. He even has a mohawk! Pete already has some similarities to Bowser, being an imposing antagonist known for kidnapping Minnie Mouse, but the Disney's Magical Quest games really play up the similarities between the two by making Pete an Evil Sorcerer , and making him much, much bigger than Mickey.
The character himself debuted in the s, making him far, far older then the trope namer! Meanwhile, his Kingdom Hearts incarnation is similar fittingly to the RPG depictions of Bowser, as an annoying Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain with domain over gaggles of minions the Heartless who takes a backseat to the larger, more serious Original Generation threats. Rool from the Donkey Kong Country trilogy is often seen as the series' answer to Bowser.
He is an overweight yet muscular crocodile who is green, has sharp teeth, menacing claws, and is the leader of an army of crocodiles known as the Kremlings. Rool's first appearance using the 'King' moniker is the most easily comparable to Bowser, though as his series progresses, the Kremling King undergoes Divergent Character Evolution.
Among the things that distinguish him from Bowser, K. Rool gains an affinity for Cold-Blooded Torture , suffers Sanity Slippage to the point of voluntarily risking his and his minions' lives by starting up an untested Blast-o-Matic note to be fair to K.
Rool, his back was to the wall at that point , and develops a flair for theatrics, dressing up in various costumes in each new game.
Diddy Kong Racing : Wizpig is an oversized sorcerous pig with a really terrible attitude. Like K. Rool, he too is pretty tubby, but still able to put up a fight. Five Nights at Candy's 3 : In the Retraux-style platformer minigame "Candy's Adventure", the final boss is the Boss Dog, an enormous red-furred Angry Guard Dog who breathes fireballs, leads an army of smaller red dogs, and wears a spiky collar.
In one level of Guacamelee! The dragon is defeated by luring him onto a bridge, then hitting a switch that causes the bridge to collapse, a tribute to Super Mario Bros. He also kidnaps the hero's girlfriend. King Dedede of the Kirby series was a straightforward example in his first appearance in which he stole all the food in Dream Land, forcing Kirby to rise and stop him.
When being attacked, Bowser will always use the spin seen during the final attack in the previous battle, spinning more times depending on how many times he has been hit, and the spins create fiery shockwaves. Like before, he will use duplicates of the hat after being hit once, but he now uses three and eight duplicates, respectively, rather than two and five. He also has two new attacks that he uses while Mario is wearing his hat. Once Bowser is hit once or twice, he may stand in the middle of the arena and breathe a stream of fire around the arena; as he is surrounded by flames during this attack, Mario cannot strike.
He may also throw flaming versions of his shell, which cannot be punched away like the bricks. Additionally, for the final hit, Bowser must be punched rapidly again after spinning three times. He will then spin once more and can be attacked to be defeated. Concept art for the game included in a Japanese artbook indicated that Bowser would have used the capture ability on Princess Peach.
Bowser reappears as an enemy in Super Mario Maker 2. He functions similarly to the previous title also including when Wings or a Super Mushroom are placed on him and is one of the objects the new Parachute item is able to be placed on.
When a parachute is placed on him, he will be able to float down until reaching a solid object like with most objects. Like with the previous game, he is available in all major themes, although in the Super Mario 3D World style he is replaced by Meowser.
It is strongly implied Bowser is Father of Name Withheld in the game's story mode, which is made evident by his speech pattern: his course descriptions have "Bwa ha ha!
He also appears in one of the opening sequences. Bowser slowly walks to the middle of the logo, and after he stops, he preforms a ground pound to the floor, causing the number "2" to fall next to the logo. A Koopa Clown Car comes in and takes Bowser away off-screen.
Bowser appears in Super Mario Bros. Like all enemies, he can be sent to other players, and this may make him appear outside castle levels.
A kicked shell can defeat Bowser, but the shell is also destroyed in the process. Transferred Bowsers throw hammers if they are from World and later. There are no fake Bowsers in this game. King Koopa as he is known in Japan is featured as the main villain in the Japanese-exclusive animated film Super Mario Bros. The plot of the film is similar to that of Super Mario Bros. King Koopa is also trying to marry Peach, making this film the first instance in which King Koopa has shown a love interest in her.
King Koopa first appears emerging from Mario's television to capture Princess Peach. Mario tries to stand up to him, but to no avail.
Peach tries to fight back, but is grabbed and taken back into the television, where she is held at his castle. At one point, King Koopa attempts to make Peach love him, but Peach tricks him by having him transform into various things, eventually ending up as a teddy bear which she locks inside a box. However, King Koopa breaks free by transforming back to normal, leaving and locking her in her room.
Later, King Koopa commences the wedding ceremony with Peach, but it is interrupted by Mario and Luigi. Taking the princess, King Koopa and the minister escape to another room to continue the ceremony, only for the castle to fall apart around them. After emerging from the rubble, King Koopa and Mario battle.
During the battle, King Koopa is easily able to fight him, though after he consumes the three power-ups Mario becomes strong enough to grab King Koopa by the tail and send him flying, undoing his black magic over the land. In the end of the film, King Koopa appears at Mario's Grocery , working happily with his minions.
Below, Mario must try to catch the oil and hand the buckets to Yoshi for disposal. Occasionally, Yoshi can knock Bowser away from his position. He also appears in the Modern version of Mario Bros. His role in this game is to hinder the Mario Bros. Here, he is seen in a tree, trying to throw colored water balloons at Mario's friends, who are relaxing on various objects attached to the ropes. Mario is able to help his friends avoid the balloons by using the ropes to move them out of the way.
Mario tries to fight him, but is defeated; it is when Luigi takes a Fire Flower and fights him that Koopa is defeated.
Koopa escapes, however, and the bros try to chase after him, but fall down a large pit. Koopa also throws the princess into the pit, then escapes, locking the basement door behind him.
At the end of the book, however, the three escape the basement and force Koopa out of the castle. King Koopa is also featured as the main antagonist in all three shorts in the Japanese-exclusive Super Mario anime series , which have him taking on the roles of various fairy tale villains. He hears of the beauty of Princess Peach, and, with the help of his Koopalings, she is kidnapped. Peach's grandparents try to stop him, but fail. During the time that the princess is kidnapped, King Koopa proposes to her, but she refuses and is thrown into a cell as a result; King Koopa then continues to plunder the galaxy as usual.
As he is proposing to her again, he hears news that a strange ship is approaching; Mario and his friends, a Para-Beetle , a Spike , and a Boomerang Bro arrive at the city, face King Koopa and the Koopalings and defeat them. Having been beaten, King Koopa vows to never perform another bad deed. While harassing Princess Peach, Mario tries to stand up for her, but King Koopa simply tries to stomp him, which later leads to him eating Mario.
However, Mario starts slashing and stabbing at his insides with the makeshift sword he was given by his father. This causes King Koopa to experience a horrific stomachache and regurgitate Mario, falling unconscious. However, when King Koopa wakes up, Mario is on his head, but he slices off his horns and eyebrows as he leaps off. Embarrassed, King Koopa runs away from the two, dropping a magical hammer on the way. This hammer allows Mario to be grown to a normal size.
She is a selfish tyrant, who often asks her mirror who is the most beautiful in the land, with the mirror's response being an image of herself. However, one day, when asking the mirror the question, Koopa is shocked to see the image of Princess Peach appearing on the mirror, making him angry. After much frustration, she has the Koopalings attack her, but she is saved by Mario, who defeats them.
Angered by the failure of the Koopalings, Koopa asks the mirror the question again; this time the mirror tells him that Peach is hiding in Toad's house. In her laboratory in the basement, Koopa creates a poison, which he then injects into several apples. While both the Toads and Mario are gone from the house, Koopa, disguising himself using a cloak, gives Peach a poisoned apple, which causes her to fall into a comatose state, and flies back to her castle.
They succeed with their attack, but the Toads combine with Mario, increasing his strength and allowing him to once again defeat them. Koopa attempts to escape, but Mario chases after her. However, Mario stops when he sees Koopa holding a knife at Peach. At that moment, Luigi unexpectedly enters the scene with a hammer and attacks Koopa. The brothers then take her and throw her head first into her mirror to defeat her. Super Show! Bowser's appearance in the shows is based on his in-game sprite from the original Super Mario Bros.
In all three cartoons, Bowser was voiced by Harvey Atkin, who also starred in other shows such as Goosebumps as Mr. In The Super Mario Bros. In several episodes, Bowser captures Princess Toadstool and attempts to blackmail her into giving him the Mushroom Kingdom, although some other episodes imply that he already has some measure of control over the kingdom.
In Super Mario World television series , Bowser makes somewhat infrequent appearances. As revealed in the episode " Mama Luigi ", he was once again banished from the Mushroom Kingdom. However, he ends up moving to Dinosaur Land, where he, along with his Koopa Kids, cause trouble.

In the comic included with the White Knuckle Scorin' album, Bowser appears as the main antagonist. He once again kidnaps Princess Toadstool and brings her to his castle, explaining his plan to turn the dinosaurs of Dinosaur Land into fossil fuel and join OPEC. The princess tells him that he is not smart enough to be an oil tycoon, but Bowser informs her that he would rather have "brute force and a bad attitude over smarts and education," informing her in song that "ignorance is bliss. Later, Bowser's spies tell him that the Mario Bros.
Bowser selects a spell from his spellbook that he believes to have a nasty effect, and with help from Lemmy, who wished to show off the reading skills the princess had taught him earlier , they cast the spell Bowser unable to do it himself due to leaving his reading glasses in the pantry when reading the nutritional label on a bag of "toasted lard chips" , which instead creates an illusion that gives the countryside a medieval motif, also boosting the brothers' confidence.
The spell wears off as soon as Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi arrive at the castle, but Bowser has his Mechakoopas attack them.
He also places Toadstool in a cage lowering into a vat of lava; the brothers and Yoshi cannot save her in time, and she disappears into the lava. Mario attempts to fight Bowser still, but his grief allows Bowser to easily beat him. However, Princess Toadstool suddenly appears out of the shadows and strikes Bowser.
Revitalized by her sudden appearance, Bowser is able to be defeated by Mario again, while the princess explains that she escaped due to Bowser leaving the operating manual inside the cage Bowser admitting that his illiteracy caused him to not think about them. Bowser is defeated by the heroes aided by Lemmy , but he orders all Warp Pipes leading outside Dinosaur Land be severed, supposedly trapping them on the island.
However, Princess Toadstool had stolen Bowser's spell book, and Yoshi recites the spell to transport his friends home. At this age, he is shown to have similar powers to the ones he currently possesses as an adult.

In Yoshi Topsy-Turvy , Bowser and his minions attack the island. A spirit named Hongo attempts to contain Bowser and his army by using his magic to place the entire island inside the Forbidden Pop-Up Book , mirroring what Bowser did to Yoshi's Island as a baby.
After Yoshi satisfies each of the six spirits of Yoshi's Island, the spirits allow Yoshi to confront Bowser. The first part of the battle takes place on a platform. Bowser attacks Yoshi by breathing fire at him while bombs fall from the sky.
Bowser is damaged if he walks into the bombs. He flies into the air and lands, causing two Shy Guys to fall onto the platform. When Bowser is damaged enough times, the two fall to a lower platform. Bowser only attacks by leaping and slamming the ground, causing two enemies to fall. The parachuting bombs damage him if he walks into them. Once this is done enough times, he and Yoshi fall to a pair of even lower platforms over a pit of lava; the size of Bowser, however, allows only one of his feet on it.
Tilting the system causes Bowser to fall into the lava, defeating him. Afterward, with Bowser eliminated, Hongo releases Yoshi's Island, reverting it.
In Yoshi's Island DS , Bowser travels to the past to find the star children , which are said to have the power necessary for him to conquer the universe. Bowser from the future uses a scepter to bring him back to the past and invades Baby Bowser's Castle. Bowser later kicks Baby Bowser out of the castle when he insults him. Near the end of the game, while traversing the castle, Baby Bowser turns on his team because he thought they would come to try and steal his treasure, but he is outnumbered and defeated.

Bowser makes a surprise appearance in Yoshi's New Island as the true final boss. His battle involves him jumping and breathing fireballs. Metal Guys appear after Bowser jumps higher than his previous two jumps, thus allowing Yoshi to survive the otherwise ever shrinking space he can walk along, which Yoshi can turn into a Metal Eggdozer to hit Bowser.
When he has been defeated, Kamek hits him with his mallet and turns him giant. This battle is almost identical to Baby Bowser's giant fight. When he jumps, Mega Guys fall down and Mega Eggdozers must be thrown at him. However, raining fireballs, Kamek's magic, and Bowser's occasional fire stream may hurt Yoshi.
Once Bowser is defeated, he falls through the lava and disappears, with it being implied that he was sent back to his own time afterward. The battle with Bowser is only accessible after beating World as well as all of the other levels without the use of Flutter Wings.
Bowser is one of the many characters that appear during the Club Nintendo comics. His appearances are as an antagonist, and are mostly major. During the comic, Bowser, who is erroneously named "Wart", is playing what appears to be " Super Bowser Land " on a Game Boy, when the batteries die. He angrily throws the batteries out, but Mario shows up and reminds him that they should be properly disposed of. Infuriated, Bowser fights Mario, but the dead batteries end up electrocuting him.

Mario, back on the road, grasps the opportunity and throws banana peels in front of him. He slips on one and collides with Wario; the villains are knocked out while the Mario brothers continue. Even later, in order to reach the island containing the spacecraft, Wario and Bowser use a type of aircraft with rocket boosters.
They outrace Mario and Luigi, who are using their karts converted into jet skis. However, Mario tricks them into believing flying straight is boring, and the villains begin to do various midair maneuvers until they run out of fuel and fall into water. They eventually emerge from the water and try to take the craft, shaped like a Nintendo 64 , from the Marios, but fail after the brothers put a flag up on top of it.
Their friends congratulate them while Bowser and Wario are sulking. Bowser also makes some minor appearances in the two Mario Teaches Typing games, such as appearing when the letter "B" is typed in the first game's alternate game mode. Additionally, a Bowser portrait also appears in the room where the Koopa Troopas are playing cards in Mario Teaches Typing 2.
In both games' story modes, Bowser is not featured, but his castle is, though it is destroyed by Mario and Luigi at the end. In the second game's story mode intro, the Magical Typewriter gives them a message that states it is "the key to beating Bowser. Bowser is always a default-unlocked heavyweight character in the Mario Kart games. He also always has his own course, aptly named Bowser's Castle.
If controlled by a computer, Bowser can toss fireballs onto the track. In the Japanese release of the game, every character's awards ceremony victory animation involves a bottle of champagne, but part of Bowser's involves drinking it. This is changed in English releases, in which Bowser simply waves the bottle above his head. In Mario Kart 64 , Bowser and the other heavyweight characters have poor speed, acceleration, and steering, but high weight, allowing them to ram lighter racers out of their way.
In Mario Kart: Super Circuit , Bowser has the highest weight and speed, but also the lowest acceleration in the game. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!! His default karts are a standard kart Standard BW , like the other racers, and the Tyrant.
Once the game is beaten, Bowser can drive any of the thirty-six karts in the game. In Missions Mode, Bowser is the character played as for missions , , , , , and In addition, he also appears as the opponent to be raced against for mission He and R.
In Mario Kart Wii , Bowser has the highest weight bonus for his class size, which makes vehicles like the Offroader and Piranha Prowler heavier than normal.

Bowser also receives his own two-course cup in the first two games, both of which consists of Bowser's Castle and Castle Wall , which takes place on the wall surrounding his castle. In the first game, beating the Bowser Cup allows the player to face Bowser in a battle as the challenge stage. The player must leap over the streams of fire Bowser spits at them while tossing shells at the supports for his platform. If the player is playing as Bowser for this challenge, they instead face Mecha-Bowser.
Bowser causes much trouble in the real world during Mario is Missing! Bowser plans to use several hairdryers to melt Antarctica , which would result in the Earth flooding.
Other than that, enjoy Villains Wiki!!! He is somewhat loosely based on Bowser and Wart from the original games. In the first series, King Koopa appeared regularly as the main antagonist of every episode with the only exception being "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em", where he is replaced by Queen Retunda. In this series, King Koopa is portrayed as almost having complete control over the Mushroom Kingdom, however as established by the intro , due to the untimely appearance of the Mario Bros, he was unable to take complete control by kidnapping Princess Toadstool.
Throughout the series, Mario and Luigi would traverse the Mushroom Kingdom with Princess Toadstool and Toad searching for a way to defeat Koopa whilst liberating various areas he had or was planning on conquering.
Throughout episode to episode, the threat King Koopa posed to the world often shifted, as, in some instances, he would only appear as a minor annoyance while in others he would conquer or come close to destroying cities, towns or even planets. Sometimes, he would wear a costume without an alter ego or disguise himself to impersonate others. He would also be assisted by Wart's minions.
Towards the end of every episode, Koopa would be defeated mostly in a very humiliating way and would lose whatever stronghold of the Mushroom Kingdom he had, although he would sometimes manage to evade capture, usually by the aid of a Magic Potion that would transport him to a warp zone. In the sequel series, it is established that, sometime between the events of the two series', Mario and Luigi managed to defeat and subsequently imprison Koopa inside a Banishment Zone before sealing it off with ten thousand bricks, freeing everyone from his rule before returning to Brooklyn.
However, to everyone's shock, Koopa somehow escaped his imprisonment, completely ditching his alter-egos, abandoning Wart's minions and launched a massive attack on the Mushroom Kingdom using his new Doomship, also introducing the world to his Koopa Kids; Bully , Big Mouth , Cheatsy , Kooky , Kootie Pie , Hip and Hop. After the Mario Bros. While his goals of taking over the Mushroom Kingdom remained the same, Koopa's methods of doing so became noticeably stranger than what he had done in the previous series, such as when he tried to have his children capture Prince Hugo the Huge by transforming them into giant ninjas so he could turn the Prince into a poodle or when he tried to use a magical artifact called the Doom-Dancer music box to force everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom to dance.
On top of wanting to conquer to Mushroom Kingdom, Koopa expanded his goals to include the real world on a regular basis as well, although he likely only wanted to do so in order to spite the Mario Brothers. Aside from attempting to rule both the Mushroom Kingdom and the real world, a variety of Koopa's appearances involved him trying to teach his children how to become villains like himself, such as when he broke infamous criminal "Crime Wave" Clyde out of prison and hired him to teach them how to be criminals, or trying to please them specifically Kootie Pie at the expense of others.
Like in the previous series, King Koopa would always be beaten towards the end of the episode, supposedly being fully defeated in the episode "Super Koopa" although this is only because it was the last episode produced.
In the final cartoon series, King Koopa and the Koopa Kids, after being banished from the Mushroom Kingdom yet again, somehow managed to escape into Dinosaur Land. As stated by Luigi in the episode "Mama Luigi" as Mario, Princess Toadstool and himself attempted to take a vacation in Dinosaur Land, Koopa attacked and kidnapped the Princess, although he was defeated thanks to Yoshi and they decided to stay in Dinosaur Land as a result.
Koopa's goals are portrayed on a significantly smaller scale than in previous appearances, as he is only ever shown trying to take control of Dinosaur Land, particularly Dome City, although it has no real benefits for him.
In his last appearance in "A Little Learning", King Koopa was left in his bedroom as it was rapidly filling with lava, meaning that he could have potentially met his demise, although this remains unconfirmed. In the short lived spin-off series, King Koopa, in live action form, takes over a television studio with the help of his troops children dressed as Koopas and starts his own program in which he both shows cartoons all of which being public domain gives out prizes to the children in the audience.
In this series, while Koopa retains the majority of his personality and appearance from Super Show , elements of these were changed to make him more believable as a live action character. In the Nintendo Comic System comics, King Koopa who, in later issues, would simply be called Bowser again serves as the main and most recurring antagonist of the Mario themed issues all of which based on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Despite most of his appearances focusing on him trying to defeat the Mario Bros.
In " Just Desserts ", King Koopa creates a mirage machine and uses it to create a mirage of an oasis in order to lure the Mushroom King into a trap whilst he and the Mario Bros. Upon getting the King to swim in the phony oasis, King Koopa turns his machine off, taking the King back to his desert fortress before trying to ransom him off for ten million Koopabits.
However, the brothers fail to understand the instructions on the ransom note, causing King Koopa to angrily raise his fortress from under them, leading to Mario destroying his mirage machine and causing his fortress to explode. In " Piranha-Round Sue ", King Koopa turns the Mushroom King into a chameleon using his magic wand, and, at the same time, his Piranha Plants send an extremely powerful plant named Piranha Sue to retrieve the Green Gecko Gem, a powerful gem with the power to generate a force-field around the one wielding it, so they can be free from his rule.
After Mario retrieves a wand, Piranha Sue steals both it and the Greek Gecko Gem from him and Toad and claims that she will rule the world, although Koopa then appears and chokes her. Koopa, upon getting his hands on the gem, deems it a cheesy trinket and notices that the name "Brooklyn Plumbing Novelty Company" inscribed on the wand that Piranha Sue stole.
Koopa then presumably punishes Piranha Sue for attempting to betray him. In " Beauty and the Beach ", Koopa assumes control of a beach island under the alias "Ka-Hoopa" and tricks the native Toads into throwing bombs into the island's volcano in order to scare off the Trouters near the island. After Mario, Princess Toadstool and Toad wash ashore their boat having been destroyed by the Trouters they encounter King Koopa, who casually explains what he had been doing and that the Toads will be turned into an army of Fryguys by the volcano before leaving stating that the volcano will erupt in a matter of minutes.
On his boat, King Koopa is shocked to see that the volcano didn't erupt like he planned, due to Mario diverting the lava using bamboo pipes. In " Magic Carpet Madness ," Koopa prank calls King Toadstool while he is tending his garden, his trip to the phone causing him to track mud across the castle's carpet, which Princess Toadstools then scolds him for.
After Princess Toadstool calls a carpet cleaner, Koopa sends three Pidgets to the castle under the guise of carpet cleaners, while he fills the cleaner with Flying Carpet Juice.
Koopa watches from a window and later the roof as Toadstool flies out of her castle's skylight, then into the air.
