If the main characters were, let's say, some average Manhattan plumbers named the William's brothers and the entire movie wasn't based on a series of video games, than perhaps the movie would had received a far better reception and would had entertained and reached a wider audience.
All of the characters are pretty entertaining and work out well in the movie. This is probably mainly due to the well known cast. Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo are the Mario brothers and they form a pretty good main duo. Dennis Hopper also is in his element as the ruthless, over-the-top, stereotyped villain King Koopa. He gives the movie a certain extra fun and flair. Unlike the games, the movie is a dark one.
All of the sets are dark which was perhaps not the greatest atmospheric mood for the story and the entire movie in general. All of the sets are disappointing, small and unimaginative looking. Same goes for the costumes and most of the make-up effects.
The movie however has some good and convincing looking early special effects. Remember folks, that it was when this movie was released. The movie however is most of the time a bit too childishly told and the dialogs are below par and too simple. The pace and editing is good but the movie severely lacks some action and real interesting moments. At moments it takes too long before something good or interesting happens again, which makes this movie perhaps a bit boring and uninteresting to watch at certain points.
All in all it's a not very successful- but still yet entertaining first attempt at making a movie based on a video game. Certainly better than some of those movies based on video games, released this present day!

Top Gap. 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. In the end, Bowser decides to accept Mario's advice and goes off to buy a battery set.
Bowser also takes advantage of the fact that their door is unlocked and enters. He notices several treats inside, and starts to eat them; afterward, however, a somewhat overweight Bowser starts feeling sick. He tries to leave, but falls over. Mario , being told of Bowser's condition by a Toad doctor, rushes over and, along with Nurse Toadstool, checks his condition, then gives him a prescription.
They claim that the group stole their cookies, and begin to fight. However, they are scared away by Fox McCloud. He also has a minor appearance in Super Mario: Erholung? Nein, danke! Super Mario: Recreation? No, thanks! In Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo Krawall im All The Race for the Nintendo Ruckus in Outer Space , Bowser and Wario have teamed up in order to find a special spacecraft on the planet Earth ; they are planning to use the spacecraft to rule the universe.
Their only opposition on this quest is Mario and Luigi. Upon landing on earth, the duo notice that the Mario Bros. They notice Mario and Luigi in karts, and begin to attack them.
Bowser knocks Mario off the road, but he loses control of his glider. 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. He also offers decent speed and drift bonuses, which make the Jetsetter and Shooting Star faster and easier to control. In Mario Kart 7 , Bowser returns as a heavy racer. He has one of the best speed and weight boosts in the game. If using a glider with a stem Super Glider, Flower Glider etc.
Bowser is a playable character in Mario Kart 8. He is one of the heaviest racers in the game, having the exact same stats as Wario , Morton Koopa Jr. He also runs an oil company called Bowser Oil , which appears as a sponsor in this game, and also has a racing team called Lord Bowser. Bowser makes an appearance in Mario Kart Tour as an unlockable Super-rarity driver, available since launch. Like in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
The second game also gives him a personal kart in addition to a standard kart; Bowser's resembles his shell, with spikes lining the sides and on the tires.
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.
However, because he cannot afford the amount of hairdryers needed to enact the scheme, Bowser sends his Koopas across the world to steal rare and valuable artifacts to sell. Mario's kidnapping, however, differs between the three versions. In the PC version, Luigi remains outside with Yoshi, as he is too scared to go in, so Mario enters by himself; Bowser, disguised as a butler, gives Mario some candy, and he is caught in a net afterward.
In the NES version, Bowser catches him in a sack. Either way, Mario is kidnapped, forcing Luigi to save Mario using the skill of deduction.
The endings differ from the console as well. In the PC version, Bowser advances toward Luigi, but Luigi forcefully removes his shell, making him a "Beach Bowser", much to his humiliation. When Bowser returns, Luigi lies to Bowser by gestering that he threw his shell off the balcony.
When Bowser looks over the ledge, Luigi kicks him off and he lands in the snow. He then emerges from a pile of snow, dazed, and falls into unconsciousness.
After Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi leave, Bowser appears in the corner, looking in that direction before the credits roll. However, Luigi pulls a nearby switch that causes Bowser to fall into a hole, into a cannon. He is then shot out of his castle and into the Antarctic snow; he freezes instantly after, then shatters.
Bowser is later seen outside his castle, crying over his defeat in the snow. Of note is that Bowser is extremely off-model in the NES release.
There are two sets of sprites used, with the one in the opening being green and hornless, and the one during battle being orange with horns.
Both sets appear to use an edited version of Morton , Ludwig , and Roy 's body from Super Mario World , along with an edited version of Lemmy 's head from the same game. As such, he is uncharacteristically short in this game, being even shorter than Mario and Luigi. When retracted into his shell, the sprites use the normal Koopa shell sprite from Super Mario World , except with all original detail removed and completely-square spikes added on.
Finally, after defeat, he is knocked out of his shell and appears as an ordinary Koopa without a Shell. During the credits, however, he appears as normal. After encountering Mario in his Koopahari Desert Fortress , Bowser brags about his scheme before giving chase to Mario, though he quickly loses him.
Bowser has only a cameo appearance in Leaping Lizards , where he threatens the orchestra performing at the International Mushroom Games which six of his children are competing in to play the Koopa Anthem. He begins to use it by fusing several of his minions into conglomerations of the two creatures that formed it such as a Goomerang Brother and a Buzz-Bomb.
However, in the end, Bowser is stopped and the machine is destroyed. After Wendy disappears in Koopa Capers , Bowser uses a magic carpet to abduct Luigi from Brooklyn , so he can force the younger Mario brother into searching for the wayward Koopaling after his own minions prove incapable of finding her. In the best ending, Bowser and the male Koopalings confront Wendy, who had planned on performing a coup, in her secret lair by following Luigi, but they decide to stave off punishing the treacherous Koopaling if she helps search for the hiding Luigi.
If Luigi has Boom Boom 's socks, he can throw them into Wendy's simmering potion, creating fumes which knock Bowser, his family and their minions out for at least a week. Bowser's appearance in Doors to Doom is as an enemy in the series of worlds created by Dr.
Sporis von Fungenstein. In Dinosaur Dilemma , Bowser has his minions begin abducting all the dinosaurs in Dinosaur Island, so he can "prove" his theory that the dinosaurs went extinct due to not looking both ways before they crossed the street; once the dinosaurs and all evidence of their existence are gone and his theory is thus "proven" true, Bowser intends to be awarded the Snowbell Prize feeding the cooked dinosaurs to the committee awarding it and be named curator of the Mushroom Kingdom Museum of Natural History, conveniently located across the street from Mushroom Palace, which he plans on pelting with garbage.
Mario and Yoshi ultimately crash Bowser's award ceremony, defeat his evil Slimosaurs, rescue the dinosaurs and the kidnapped Luigi, and humiliate the Koopa King in front of the Snowbell Prize committee and the rest of the guests, including Wart. In Flown the Koopa , Bowser can be found hanging out in the Valley of the Koopas by Mario and Luigi; when asked about the whereabouts of Princess Toadstool and Yoshi, Bowser denies having anything to do with their disappearance, but since the Mario Bros.
In the best possible outcome, Luigi bludgeons Bowser with a wrench, sending him running and causing him to drop the remote control needed to disable the Mechakoopas and defeat a Magikoopa , who is Bowser's cousin and the main antagonist of the book. Disguised as a Toad named Fungus Cap, Bowser crashes Yoshi's birthday in Unjust Desserts , placing a cherry on the dinosaur's cake that, when eaten, causes Yoshi to go on an eating binge that ends when he devours Luigi.
After unsuccessfully trying to dissuade Yoshi's friends from calling dinosaur physician Doc Drake, Bowser sheds his Toad disguise and escapes, but returns later after having Magikoopa shrink him and his forces so he can follow Mario who intends to rescue Luigi into Yoshi's body.
When Yoshi and Luigi regurgitate everyone they have eaten, Bowser and his forces try to overwhelm Mario, but are defeated and forced to retreat, with the still tiny Bowser being menaced by an ant.
During the earlier books, Bowser's appearances on the covers of Double Trouble and Monster Mix-Up show him with his cartoon appearance; on the cover of the later book Unjust Desserts , Bowser, albeit only his face being on the cover, is shown with his game appearance.
Some time prior to the events of the comics, he has hundreds of Yoshis captured and enslaved. Yoshi tries to go after them, but he is trapped in an egg and left in the forest. Later, pipes begin to pop out of the princess's castle grounds, and several of Bowser's minions emerge from them. Bowser and his children, in his Koopa Clown Car, later appear out of a massive warp pipe. Bowser explains to Princess Toadstool that he wanted to conquer the kingdom, and that he can only do so by marrying her.
Toadstool declines his proposal, but Bowser gives her a week to decide anyway. He then heads back down the pipe, with the princess and several Toads in pursuit, to attempt to compromise with him. Several of Bowser's Lakitus capture Toadstool, and Bowser places her in the custody of his kids, telling them to keep a video line between his castle and theirs open. She is kept in a jail cell inside their castle. After interrupting them playing a video game, Bowser begins to tell his kids that he proposed to Toadstool, but is interrupted by a Magikoopa who informs him that the model of his cake is finished.
Bowser is shown the model, but wants it bigger, and has to interrupt his children's video game again to tell them to keep Toadstool inside the castle. After the princess escapes, Bowser is furious at his kids for losing his "bride," but the Koopalings show him that they have captured Mario. Bowser then has them send two Mechakoopas across the moat dividing the mainland from the castle to blackmail Luigi; if he wants Mario back, he must hand over Princess Toadstool or Mario dies.
Luigi tricks Bowser and the Koopalings by sending himself disguised as the princess, and actually says yes to Bowser's proposal when he arrives. Bowser and his minions later capture Toad when he flies into the Warp Pipe to find Toadstool, Mario, and Luigi a rescue party. He and several Koopas then disguise themselves as Toads and help the princess and the Mario brothers by sending a ladder. However, on the way up Bowser pulls out a knife and severs the ladder, separating himself and the princess from Mario and Luigi.
Afterward, he sheds the disguise as the ladder is pulled back up the pipe, revealed to be a small airship. Bowser then sends Paratroopas after Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. Having defeated the Koopas, the brothers find a house in the middle of the forest, unaware that Bowser and the Koopalings are watching them and that the house is one of his traps.
Bowser prematurely believes that the brothers will enter the house, but when he sees they do not, he pushes a button that causes the scent of cheese to emanate from the structure. The smell convinces Luigi to head inside, and Mario rushes after to find him. Afterward, Bowser returns to planning his wedding.
On the date of the wedding, Bowser witnesses a Magikoopa command several hundred enslaved Yoshis to drag the enormus cake into the courtyard. He then watches as they are commanded to enter a special room, where they enter a machine that traps in eggs. As he is preparing for the wedding, he learns that the princess is still resisting.
However, he has the Magikoopa hypnotize her into loving him. Just as the ceremony commences, Mario emerges to stop him. However, he is shocked to hear that the princess loves Bowser. Bowser then has his minions charge after Mario, subduing him. As he is about to continue with their marriage, a gigantic pack of Yoshis charges in, instantly defeating all of Bowser's minions.
After the Magikoopa is defeated, the princess is freed from hypnosis. Bowser tries to escape in his Koopa Clown Car, but Mario lassos the car, causing Bowser to fall out of it and into the cake, which the Yoshis start to consume. Bowser tries to continue the wedding, but the cake collapses while he is still on it. In the Mario comics of Valiant Comics ' Nintendo Comics System , Bowser, known under the name King Koopa at first, is once again featured as the main enemy of the Mushroom Kingdom, which he continues to try and cause chaos in.
Though several of his appearances involve him trying to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, he also has a handful of joke comics revolving around him; said comic appearances include shorts such as " Koopa Kola ," in which he is advertising the soda of the same name, and " Koopa's Believe It or Else!
His appearance in this comic series is exactly similar to his appearance in the DiC cartoons, except in " Just Deserts ", which uses his game appearance with DiC's colorations and with a crown instead of a mane. Throughout the comics, it is implied that Bowser, in some way, is affiliated with the Apook Corporation , a large corporation selling most of the Mushroom Kingdom's commercial products, if not the owner.
The corporation mainly retails their products at the Koopamart , a store also implied to be owned by Bowser; it is even designed to look like him. The short comic " The Legend " explains how Bowser originally kidnapped the princess, and how the Mario brothers went on their quest to rescue her.
In " Just Deserts ," Koopa creates a mirage machine, which he uses to create a mirage of the Mushroom King splashing around in an oasis in the middle of the desert Mario and Luigi are trapped in, while he stays at his underground base. However, once they reach the spring, Koopa deactivates the mirage, prompting the bros to search for the king. They eventually arrive at the pyramid Koopa's base is in, and Mario rescues the king and presses a "master mirage" button on the machine, destroying the fortress.
Bowser also appears during " Piranha-Round Sue. The king then sends Mario and Toad to retrieve a magic wand to turn him back, giving them the Green Gecko Gem , which gives its user a forcefield. Mario gets the wand, but eventually loses both it and the gem to Sue, who then claims that she rules the world; however, Bowser appears then, and Sue states that she got them for Bowser.
He disregards this and claims both; however, he tosses the gem aside, deeming it worthless, and notices the wand has the words "Brooklyn Plumbing Novelty Company" inscribed upon it. Bowser then punishes Piranha Sue for being duped. During " Beauty and the Beach ," Bowser assumes control of a beach island, giving himself the alias "Ka-Hoopa. He achieves this by having the residents themselves throw the bombs into the volcano, convincing them that doing so will scare off the Trouters near the island.
After Princess Toadstool, Mario, and Toad wash ashore on the island, their boat having been destroyed by the aforementioned Trouters, they eventually encounter Bowser. However, he offers them no trouble, even telling them his plan in its entirety, and leaves, stating the volcano would erupt in a matter of minutes. Out at sea, however, he is shocked to notice that the volcano is not erupting, thanks to Mario's installing of bamboo pipelines to divert the lava.
In " Magic Carpet Madness ," Bowser first prank phone calls King Toadstool while he is tending his garden; however, his trip to the phone causes him to track mud across the castle's carpet.
Princess Toadstool scolds him for this, then calls a carpet cleaner. Bowser then sends three Pidgits to the castle under the guise of carpet cleaners, while he fills the cleaner with Flying Carpet Juice.
Bowser watches from a window and later the roof as Toadstool flies out of her castle's skylight, then into the air. However, the plan falls apart when the hypnotized Princess Toadstool crashes into Bowser's blimp. He is last seen whining on the ground, having crashed into the ground and formed a hole.
However, a sleepwalking Mario, believing himself to be his favorite comic book hero Dirk Drain-Head , breaks in to Bowser's Castle and beats him up; not wanting to be beaten any more, he calls for a truce. They then head back to the palace, where he is seen serving the king, Wooster , and Toad grape sodas with little umbrellas upon Luigi and Princess Toadstool's arrival. The king then commends Mario by giving him a slap on the back, waking him up; realizing that Bowser was defeated by Mario in his sleep, he and the others storm off.
In " Betrayal Most Proper ," Bowser only gets a minor appearance. The king's adviser Wooster apparently commits treason, and is kidnapped by Koopa Troopas.
Back at Bowser's Castle, however, he feeds Bowser and his minions so much junk food that they become overweight and enter into a state of hibernation. In " Duh Stoopid Bomb! A Snifit later tells him that Mario and Luigi set off a Stupid Bomb they took on themselves; Bowser is first displeased by this, but then is happy, explaining that they will probably set off more bombs on the rest of the population.
He then presents a Smart Bomb , a bomb that will not only reverse the Stupid Bomb, but make the one who inhales its gas highly intelligent. The Snifit takes the bomb, and it explodes in his hands. Using his newfound intelligence, the Snifit usurps Bowser of his power and dumps him into Fryguy Kindergarten , where he is crowned by a group of over-excited Fryguys. Bowser once again is given a minor appearance in " Cloud Burst ," where he is seen explaining to a recently amassed army in "World 3" that he has recently been robbed of several Koopabits and even his crown, and that they should be on the lookout for the traitor.
However, it turns out that that Lakitu and his cloud and partner Fluffy had robbed Bowser and, earlier, Princess Toadstool. While on a mission to reclaim Princess Toadstool's crown, Mario runs into Bowser who is wearing a hat and several minions. As Bowser interrogates Mario for the location of his crown and money, Luigi, up above, pulls an escape hatch on Fluffy open, causing himself, the Lakitu, and all the stolen items to fall to the ground, Lakitu bonking Bowser on the head and knocking him unconscious.
In " The Buddy System ," Bowser's plan is to blow up the underground's main water pipe. He later explains that he is doing this so he can start up a taxi service to replace the soon-to-be useless underground.
However, the plan's main flaw is Lemmy's stupidity; he neither knows how to set up the bombs and where the main water pipe is. On the last section, Lemmy uses four bombs, however; the catastrophic explosion causes Bowser and a nearby Mario to be blown toward a Mouser colony. They capture the pair, chaining them together, and Bowser after the mice call Mario the more intelligent of the duo explains his plan.
However, the Mousers then show him the real main water pipe, and even blow it up as a demonstration to how they would do it, flooding the underground. He attempts to escape using a Warp Pipe, but Mario explains that the pipes shut off after the water reaches a certain level.
They then head back and work together to shut off the water main, and, once this is done, the emergency drain activates. Upon reaching the above ground, Mario and Bowser fight, using a plunger and a tree branch respectively.
However, Lemmy then interrupts the fight by bringing in another bomb, and he clumsily drops it; the bomb misses the duo, but cuts the chain keeping them together. Bowser then angrily chases after Lemmy. Bowser later appears in the comic " It's Always Fair Weather. He then notices a group of hot air balloons, and decides to take out his anger by using his helicopter's propeller blades to blow them away; However, they are then rescued by Mario, who has been transformed for the first time into Raccoon Mario.
After landing, Mario is given a kiss by Princess Toadstool; however, the lovestruck plumber stumbles into Bowser, causing him to lose his raccoon abilities. However, Mario is still able to defeat him by activating the cyclone once more, sending Bowser flying into the pool for the "Douse the Bowser" attraction. Bowser is also in " The Revenge of Pipe Ooze! The Mushroom King and Toad, cosplaying as Pipe Ooze and Muck respectively, head over to their hotdog stand; it is here that Lemmy and Bowser knock them out with magic wands.
They then take the pair's costumes, and Lemmy decides to ambush Mario, who is role-playing as Dirk Drain-Head himself. Later, he uses a catapult to launch Lemmy at Mario, as Bowser questions why his son is not paying taking in his "evil villain lessons. He then takes Lemmy onto a pipe and orders him to attack, but Lemmy asks if he can role-play first. Bowser yells at him, causing his son to feel sad, and then apologizes, granting him two minutes to have fun.
He then assists Mario and Luigi in their attempt to act out comic in Dirk's series by beating up Bowser. After this is over, Luigi who recognizes Pipe Ooze to be Bowser instead of the king convinces him to help him get Mario's spirit back by pretending to be afraid of him, since Luigi's being Dirk attracted several fans. The ruse works, and Mario proceeds to beat up Bowser. Lemmy and Bowser then leave their costumes and sneak away. Lemmy asks if attacking his own father counts toward passing the ambush test, and Bowser tells him that it does; he also gives him extra credit for attacking a close family member.
The two then head off to get some food and rest. In the comic " Tanooki Suits Me ," during the grand opening of an art gallery, Mario pushes a button on his Tanooki Suit , turning him into Statue Mario. After the opening party, several Mice steal the art, including Mario, and sell it to Bowser for fifty Koopabits, as part of his plan, which also involves selling the art to Wart for a much higher price.
Hearing Wart at the door, he sends the mice off, convincing them that it is the police. As he is about to sell the entire collection for five million Koopabits, Mario transforms back into Tanooki Mario. Not recognizing Mario in his Tanooki form, Mario convinces Wart that the paintings and statues are actually worthless products from the Apook Corporation, and that they will transform into raccoons as well in a few minutes.
Angered by the revelation, Wart and Bowser fight while Mario escapes on a forklift with the stolen art. After traversing every land, the duo arrive at Bowser's Castle. Once all of the minions inside the castle are defeated, Yoshi and Mario fall down a pit leading to a room with Bowser wearing a robotic suit of armor.
Inside the armor, Bowser attacks by shooting projectiles at them with the blasters on the hands. However, the entire robot is invincible except for the hands; attacking these enough times disables them and cause the robot's actual weak point to be revealed.
When this is attacked enough times, the robotic suit is destroyed, revealing Bowser himself. In this state, he attacks Mario and Yoshi by tossing Koopa shells at them.
Like with the robot, Bowser's hands are the only venerable part of him at first. Once his hands are shot enough, they are disabled being wrapped in bandages , and Bowser attacks by breathing flames at them. Yoshi and Mario must shoot Bowser's head in order to damage him at this point. Once he is shot at enough, Bowser surrenders appearing dazed and holding two white flags.
The game's credits state that Bowser and the Koopalings return to their home. After beating the game, a code for the hard mode is unlocked, increasing the difficulty and changing level colors. The text is also changed, to make it appear as though the events of the game are occurring a second time. After defeating Bowser a second time, the game states that he and the Koopalings return to their home for good.
In Mario's Time Machine , Bowser uses a time machine known as the Timulator to steal valuable artifacts from Earth's past, then places them in his own personal museum. He plans to destroy the Timulator after he is done, which would drastically alter the present. The player must take back Bowser's stolen artifacts and use the Timulator to return them to their proper places, saving the time stream. If the player fails to return all the artifacts in time, Bowser escapes by using the Timulator and setting it for " Paradise ", forcing the player to start over.
However, if the task is done, Bowser attempts to use the machine to escape, but it overloads, then self-destructs, and he is teleported to the Cretacious era, where a Tyrannosaurus Rex stomps him. If the player returns at least one of them in the wrong order, Bowser will end up teleported to the Cretacious era as aforementioned, although beyond that nothing else actually happens to him with the narration stating that, while the player did succeed in returning all the artifacts, they did so in the wrong order, thus forcing the player to start over.
In the NES version, Bowser's fight is similar to a fight with a Koopaling in Super Mario Bros 3 , in that jumping on him causes him to retract into his shell barring his head.
After he is hit enough times, he flees, and Mario rescues Yoshi. He can be seen crying during the credits. In Hotel Mario , Bowser and the Koopalings turn the entire Mushroom Kingdom into their own personal hotel chain and retain Princess Toadstool as a "permanent guest" in one of the seven Koopa hotels.
At the beginning of the game, Bowser appears at the entrance to the Mushroom Kingdom after the Mario Bros. The brothers then discover a note left by Bowser explaining the situation, and Mario and Luigi set off to retrieve the princess. The hotel they find afterward is Bowser's Seizures Palace Hotel. After reaching the final stage, Bowser's Barbecue Room, the player must face a Bowser look-alike who is actually Iggy in disguise. Once he is defeated, the player moves to the next area to face the real Bowser.
He attacks Mario and Luigi by breathing fire and summoning multiple bolts of lightning. Like Iggy, Bowser does not use the elevators, instead changing floors by jumping between them. However, he can be attacked by jumping on him like the Koopalings, and two stomps to the head temporarily sends him off-screen.
Like some of his children, he attempts to put a bitter end to their rivalry by savagely dining on them whole. However, when Mario and Luigi shut all the doors in the hotel, the entire building falls to the ground as the brothers and the princess escape. Bowser also makes a small cameo during a cutscene in the game, in which his name and face appear on the package for Bowser's Sourpuss Bread. In the opening cutscene, Bowser has green hands, while his in-game sprite resembles his normal appearance except that his tail is green and has no spikes.
However, Mario, hearing Toadstool scream, is on his tail. Bowser and Mario face each other atop a pair of chandeliers in the throne room. During battle, he attacks Mario by swiping him with his claws and launching his back spikes at him. At first, Bowser seems to be unbeatable, but the princess then advises Mario to attack the Kinklink chain holding up the chandelier. Once the Kinklink is damaged enough, it lets go of the chandelier, and Bowser plummets to the ground below.
Not giving up, however, he throws Hammers at Mario's chain, bringing him down as well, but before he can hit the ground, Mario jumps off of Bowser's head, giving him a boost up to the princess to free her. After the battle, a huge sword named Exor crashes into Bowser's Keep, sending Mario, Toadstool, and Bowser flying in different directions. While traveling through Rose Way , Mario and Mallow spot Bowser, with a small army of minions consisting of several Terrapins , Magikoopas , and Goombas , headed respectively by Jagger , Magikoopa , and Goomba ; he gives them some pep talk, then they head off to reclaim his keep from the Smithy Gang.
Later, at Moleville , Bowser is conveniently there at the same time as Mario once again; however, most of the minions he had earlier are now gone, including all of the Terrapins. Upon arriving at Booster Tower , Bowser is once again sighted; this time, however, he is sulking because all his remaining minions have abandoned him.
After noticing Mario behind him and Toadstool on the balcony, he leaves, but returns after Mario finds the door is locked. Realizing that Mario needs his assistance, Bowser rams the door in and joins Mario, naming him, Mallow, and Geno honorary Koopa Troop members. After returning her to Mushroom Kingdom , the Chancellor and fellow Toads are surprised to see that Mario is working with Bowser. Although he is nervous to tell the truth, he is able to stretch it to some extent with the others when they explain what is happening.
After the defeat of Exor , Bowser decides to abandon the group to return to his keep, having finally reclaimed it, and telling Mario that, as a Koopa Troop member, he is required to help with repairs. However, Geno stops him and reminds him that, as long as Smithy is still active, the keep remains at risk. This convinces Bowser to stay with the group. Upon reaching Smithy, the entire party demands that Smithy hand them his Star Piece, Bowser demanding that he leave his keep.
He declines, and the group face him in the final battle. The credits show that Bowser returns to his castle to help in its repair. Additionally, during the end credits parade, Bowser flies after Croco and a Crook in the Koopa Clown Car after they rob his keep. Some time later in the parade, Booster's Snifits have what Croco stole, Croco and the Crook are chasing after them, Booster is chasing them in the Koopa Clown Car, and Bowser is chasing after him, with several beetles behind him.
Bowser's special attacks are Terrorize , in which he summons a Big Boo to attack; Poison Gas , in which he summons a Mokura to poison enemies; Crusher , in which he creates a large column of earth that emerges from the ground and strikes enemies; and Bowser Crush , which involves Bowser summoning a giant Mechakoopa to attack enemies. Additionally, while fighting the enemies in Bowser's Keep, having Bowser as an active party member can scare away some of the monsters.
If he is not, his mood can instead confuse them. In this game, whenever Bowser uses a Special Move , a diamond is superimposed over his body. In the Japanese version, when Bowser is one of the active party members during battle, he does a gesture similar to giving the middle finger for his victory pose [13].
This was changed before the game was released in America. The theme that plays during Mario's battle with him is a cover of the final battle theme in Super Mario Bros.
In Wrecking Crew '98 , Bowser begins constructing many new fortresses, greatly deforesting the Mushroom Kingdom. When Mario reaches his house, he notices that one of Bowser's buildings is directly in front of his house, as well as the plants withering due to the lack of sunlight, so he decides to go on a quest to tear them all down.
Bowser sends many of his minions to stop Mario, but they all fall; even Bowser's right-hand construction worker, Foreman Spike , cannot defeat him. When Mario reaches Bowser's castle, he notices the Koopa King outside, putting the final touches on his fortress. He panics when he notices Mario, but regains his senses and decides to battle him. However, once he is beaten, Bowser is forced to watch as his fortress is destroyed. He is depressed at the sight of his building falling apart, but is then angered at Mario, and vows revenge.
After Bowser is defeated in story mode, both he and Princess Peach are unlocked as playable characters in multiplayer mode. Bowser appears as an enemy, and in most cases, as the primary antagonist, in the Mario Party series since the first game. His appearances in the game are mostly to bring misfortune upon the players. In every game he is given his own space , which when landed on by the player causes Bowser to appear and wreak havoc. There are also multiple minigames based around Bowser, where a character's coins, items, or stars are taken if they lose.
In the first game, winning the minigame also results in this. Throughout the series, Bowser takes many forms, mostly in Mario Party 2. Oh, that is SO my style! It does NOT end like this!
