It is an organization of armed forces led by [[Bowser]]. The Minions repeatedly try to conquer the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and sometimes other areas, with their goals based mainly on Bowser's own interests. Not all members of the Minions are [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]], although they serve as the majority of them and also often have high-ranking roles. According to official character books, the army is led by the Turtle Tribe, with older material indicating the members of Bowser's "royal family" as leaders. In both ''Super Mario Pia'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]'', the "royal family" term is missing, and in general, the organization of Bowser's army is no longer explained, with the former reconfirming that the Turtle Tribe still leads it. As shown in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', when Bowser is absent, [[Bowser Jr.]] takes leadership of the Minions. It is also implied in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' that Bowser Jr. has his own army within the Minions.
| | The '''Koopa Troop''' (named as such in ''Super Mario RPG''; also known as the '''Turtle Tribe''' or '''Koopa clan''' in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'') is a militaristic dictatorship led by [[Bowser]], King of the [[Koopa Troopa|Koopas]]. The Koopa Troop wishes to take over the peaceful [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and, ultimately, the [[Mushroom World|entire world]]. The Koopa Troop has taken over the Mushroom Kingdom multiple times and has even attempted to take over the [[Mushroom World]]. According to [[Kammy Koopa]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the motive for the clan is to have revenge against all who have treated Koopas poorly. However, some of their goals are based entirely on Bowser's own interests. According to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Koopa Troop resides in [[Dark Land]]. |
|
| |
|
| The Koopa forces differ between appearances, though [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s consistently appear as the most common and basic troops. More elite troops of the organization consist of, for example, [[Hammer Bro]]s and [[Magikoopa]]s. Aside from Bowser and Bowser Jr., other notable members have been shown to hold positions of authority and leadership within the organization's hierarchy. The most prominent examples include the [[Koopalings]] (particularly common in the case of the 2D platformers) and [[Kamek]] (especially in the case of the ''Yoshi'' franchise). Other species-specific monarchs/chiefs, such as [[Goomboss]], [[King Boo]], [[King Bob-omb]], [[Whomp King]], and [[Petey Piranha]] also exist within the Minions, still acting under Bowser. | | The Koopa Troop is nearly unstoppable. Bowser has an almost unlimited supply of [[Goomba]] and Koopa soldiers at his disposal; the Koopa Troop also has an army (with tanks), a navy (with ships), and an air force (with [[airship]]s). Despite having a huge military, the Koopa Troop is continuously defeated by [[Mario]] and his brother [[Luigi]], the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as those who assist the Mario Bros. on their missions to protect the Mushroom Kingdom. |
|
| |
|
| On some occasions, Bowser has teamed up with others (such as [[Antasma]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'') to achieve a common goal, while in other occasions, the control of the army was forcibly taken by someone else (such as [[King Olly]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''). Instances of the latter usually have Bowser temporaily team up with [[Mario]] and his friends to regain control of the Minions.
| | The main force of the Koopa Troop differs from game to game. [[Koopa Troopa]]s are quite obviously the most intelligent of their widely-used members and [[Magikoopa]]s, [[Hammer Bros.]] and [[Koopatrol]]s are among their elites. Also, strangely, ''[[Yoshi's Universal Gravitation]]'' seems to suggest that [[Fly Guy]]s, who were constantly seen en masse during Bowser's cutscene-illustrated operations, were the Koopa Troop's main soldiers. The ''Yoshi'' series seems to suggest that back while Bowser was a [[Baby Bowser|baby]], the troop's main force mainly consisted of [[Shy Guy|Shy Guys]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | During the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Mario eventually joined the Koopa Troop. When Bowser joined Mario's Party at [[Booster Tower]], he made Mario, [[Mallow]] and [[Geno]] honorary members. However, the scene could also be interpreted as Bowser joining Mario, with Bowser's wording of allowing Mario and friends to join the Koopa Troop being a simple way to keep his own pride and avoid joining his arch nemesis. (This is actually implied in ''Super Mario RPG'', which states "or so they're pretending" after it announces that Mario and friends joined the Koopa Troop.) |

| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| [[File:SM3DL W7.png|thumb|300px|Bowser and his minions in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'']]
| |
| Bowser's Minions are best known as the main antagonistic group in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], invading various kingdoms under the command of [[Bowser]]. They generally compose the bulk of the enemies that Mario must defeat, although it is often left unclear if an enemy is part of Bowser's Minions or local to the invaded territory, if not both. They are most commonly represented by enemies such as [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s. They are most often led by Bowser, [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]], although other bosses have also appeared occasionally. | |
|
| |
|
| Most commonly, Bowser's Minions have invaded the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Other places invaded by Bowser's Minions include the [[Mushroom World]] (in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''), [[Dinosaur Land]] (in ''[[Super Mario World]]''), [[Isle Delfino]] (in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''), various [[Galaxy|Galaxies]] across the universe (in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''), the [[Sprixie Kingdom]] (in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''), various kingdoms cross the [[Earth]] (in ''Super Mario Odyssey''), [[Lake Lapcat]] (in ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'') and the [[Flower Kingdom]] (in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'').
| | The '''Koopa Kingdom''' is said to consist of the lands where Bowser and his minions reside, although this is seldom visited in the games. The locations speculated to be parts of the Koopa Kingdom in the games are the World 8 of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', as well as World 6 of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and World 5 of ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. There are also the '''Bowser Baddies''', which are only seen assisting Bowser with his custom airship, the [[Koopa Cruiser]]. |
|
| |
|
| ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' predate the use of "Bowser's Minions" as the term referring to the enemies present in these games, instead using "[[Koopa (species)|Turtle Tribe]]" or "[[Koopa (species)|Turtle Empire]]" to fill the same role. | | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the Koopa Troop is shown to be split into different divisions, as evidenced when [[Fawful]] shows Bowser his captured soldiers. As Bowser rescues his soldiers, he is able to use them as attacks, for example, using a squadron of Shy Guys to sling Bowser forward to the enemy. |
|
| |
|
| In ''Super Mario Run'', one of the [[Bonus ? Block#Super Bonus Game events|Weekend Spotlights]] in the Remix 10 mode focuses on Bowser's Minions, with the Super Bonus Game exclusively offering statues of species that are part of Bowser's Minions during these periods. | | [[Image:Koopa Pack.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Koopa Pack'''.]] |
| | In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the creatures under the command of King Koopa were often referred to by the '''Koopa Pack''' and on one occasion, '''Koopa Troopers''' and '''Team Koopa'''; though in later episodes of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', the name Koopa Pack seemed to be used interchangeably between generic minions of King Koopa and a subsidiary group consisting of King Koopa, [[Mouser (character)|Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], and a single, unnamed Koopa Troopa. Additionally, the battle cry of the Koopa Pack, which was often yelled by King Koopa, was "Koopa Pack, attack!". |

| In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the enemies under the command of King Koopa are often referred to as the '''Koopa Pack''', although it seems to be used interchangeably between generic minions of King Koopa and a core group consisting of King Koopa, [[Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], and a single Koopa Troopa. On one occasion, they also went by '''Koopa Troopers''' and '''Team Koopa'''. In the show, all of the members (except for King Koopa) are somewhat unintelligent. In "[[Raiders of the Lost Mushroom]]," Mouser, Tryclyde, and Koopa Troopa said that stealing is wrong, which made King Koopa (or [[King Koopa's alter egos#Kolonel von Koop|Kolonel von Koop]] as he was called) angrily hit them with a whip and say that bad guys are supposed to steal. Occasionally, [[Clawgrip]] and [[Fryguy]] also join the ensemble.

Their actions cause the land to be fractured into the [[Light Realm]] and the [[Dark Realm]]. Unique to this game, many bosses of the Koopa Clan use a variety of giant robots or other types of advanced technology (such as an impenetrable shield and a suit of armor) during their invasion.

| [[File:Scene.jpg|left|thumb|[[Yoshi]], surrounded by various members of Bowser's Minions in the ''Yoshi'' franchise]]
| | {| |
| Like in the mainline ''Super Mario'' platformers, Bowser's Minions appear as the main enemy force in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] and are led by [[Baby Bowser]] and [[Kamek]], his caretaker. The composition of the army follows somewhat different trends in the ''Yoshi'' franchise than the mainline ''Super Mario'' platformers. With [[Shy Guy]]s appearing as the most common enemy, alongside many of their variations. Throughout the franchise, Bowser's Minions usually appear enacting various schemes by Kamek (such as kidnapping from [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' ), Baby Bowser (such as stealing the [[Super Happy Tree]] in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', [[Wonder Wool]] in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' or the [[Dream Gem]]s in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'') or occasionally adult Bowser (such as the search for the seven [[Star children]] in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' or the invasion of [[Eggland]] in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]''). Their main bases of operation consist of the [[Koopa Kingdom]] and various forts and castles around [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] (or [[Egg Island]] in the case of ''Yoshi's New Island'').
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' / ''Super Mario RPG''===
| |
| During ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], Bowser's Minions are taken over by the [[Smithy Gang]] when they invade [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] via [[Exor]]. Over the course of the game, Bowser slowly loses the remainder of his Minions, with the [[Terrapin]] leader [[Jagger]] and Goomba leader [[Goomhilde]] defecting, while [[Magikoopa]] leader [[Wizakoopa]] is brainwashed by the Smithy Gang to defend Bowser's Castle.
| |
| | |
| By the time Bowser is met at [[Booster Tower]], there are no more remaining Minions by his side. He is then forced to become allies with Mario, [[Mallow]], and [[Geno]] in order to regain his troops, although he claims they actually joined him and are now members of his army. Bowser regains control of his troops after [[Smithy]] is defeated, and they go about repairing his castle.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| |
| Koopa Kids act as Bowser's primary minions throughout the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'', with many of them accompanying him in Mario Party, ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', though several other minions appear in various games in the series.

| ====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]], Bowser's Minions are taken over by Fawful and are brainwashed into being loyal to him. While Bowser is travelling through [[Dimble Wood]], the Minions, under the command of [[Midbus]], pilot Bowser's Castle, crushing him and afterwards battling his [[Giant Bowser|giant form]]. After Bowser's Castle is turned into the [[Fawful Theater]], they can be seen spectating the show. Three notable minions, known as [[Private Goomp]], [[Corporal Paraplonk]] and [[Sergeant Guy]] first appear in this game, assisting Bowser before betraying him and joining Fawful's side.
| |
| | |
| The Minions are shown to be split into different divisions, such as the [[Goomba Storm|Goomba squadron]], the [[Shy Guy Squad|Shy Guy corps]], the [[Koopa Corps|Koopa unit]], the [[Bob-omb Blitz|Bob-omb squad]], and the [[Magikoopa Mob|Magikoopa corps]], similarly to their appearance in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. As Bowser rescues his soldiers, he is able to use them as [[Brawl Attack]]s. After Fawful is defeated, the Minions are freed, and assist in fixing Bowser's Castle, once again reminiscent of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''.
| |
| | |
| Bowser's Minions are also featured in the remake's side mode ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. In it, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings set out on a journey to find a cure to the [[Blorbs]]-afflicted minions in Bowser's Castle. While Bowser, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings are away from the castle, Fawful hires the [[Best Fitness Friends]] to take over and hypnotize the remaining minions. The story then follows Bowser Jr. as he rescues and recruits the members of his army, and ultimately defeats the Best Fitness Friends and takes back their castle.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', Bowser's Minions invite themselves to [[Pi'illo Island]], escorting Bowser there after he hears about it. When Bowser joins forces with [[Antasma]], his Minions assist them in taking over the island, capturing Princess Peach and finding the [[Dream Stone]]. Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk and Sergeant Guy return in this game, now promoted to Bowser's “personal guard” and known as the [[Elite Trio]]. Alongside Kamek, they act as Bowser's top henchmen.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Bowser's Minions encounter their paper counterparts after they are released from the [[mysterious book]] and join forces with them to take over the Mushroom Kingdom when Bowser unites with [[Paper Bowser]]. Throughout the game, many of Bowser's Minions attempt to defeat and capture Mario, Luigi and [[Paper Mario]] while some guard the kidnapped Princess Peach and [[Paper Peach]] after they are captured by the Bowsers. At the top of [[Mount Brrr]], Bowser's Minions operate a base manned by [[King Bob-omb]] that launches cardboard terrain and Paper minions around the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as a small fortification called Bowser's Villa, where the princesses were briefly held. Additionally, the Minions control a [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon|dungeon]] underneath [[Twinsy Tropics]], where captured [[Toad (species)|Toads]] are forced to mine [[Fire Ore]] for [[Neo Bowser Castle]].
| |
| | |
| While the Lakitus that run the [[Lakitu Info Center]]s through out the kingdom act helpful towards Mario's party, they secretly leak information about them to Bowser. The Lakitus consider him a VIPs, and even have a special shortcut leading directly to his Villa in Mount Brrr.<ref>{{cite|quote=The Lakitus look like they’re helping Mario’s party, but they are actually only doing their jobs. (More specifically, the hidden truth is that they are secretly leaking information about Mario’s party to Bowser, and there are events in the game that hint at this.)|author=Akira Otani|date=February 28, 2016|title=Interview: the minds behind Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam, Akira Otani and Shunsuke Kobayashi|url=http://gaming.moe/?p=1467|publisher=Gaming.moe|language=en|accessdate=November 13, 2024|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20240405093301/http://gaming.moe/?p=1467}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
| |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', Bowser and his minions are transported to [[Concordia]]. They are first fought on either [[Skorcheen Island]] or [[Slippenglide Island]]. They occupy [[Offandon Island]] where they turn the locals against Mario and Luigi, and hold Bowser's Castle on [[Wayaway Island]]. Several of Bowser's Minions are captured by [[Zokket]]'s army and infused with [[Glohm]], and all minions are infected when [[Reclusa]] spreads Glohm all throughout the world. Defeating 300 of Bowser's Minions fulfills the Minion Buster challenge. In Reclusa's Mushroom Kingdom illusion, Bowser's Minions endlessly party alongside the Toads claiming to have made peace with them.
| |
| | |
| After Concordia is restored, Bowser's Minions all rush to the newly opened portal back to the Mushroom Kingdom.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Bowser's Minions form part of the [[Subspace Army]], commanded by Bowser, [[Ganondorf]], and [[Wario]]. Although the group is led by [[Master Hand]], it is later revealed that he is being used by [[Tabuu]] in order to trick the three commanders into enveloping the [[World of Trophies]] into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Super Sluggers''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Bowser’s Minions invade the [[Baseball Kingdom]], lead by Bowser Jr. They cause chaos in each stadium, doing things such as locking [[Koopa Paratroopa|Green Paratroopa]] in his lighthouse or attacking Red Toad to try and capture [[Princess Daisy]]. Many battle missions are completed against them throughout Challenge Mode. The minions who are directly fought also make up the members of the [[Bowser Monsters]] team, alongside Bowser and Bowser Jr., and are fought at both [[Bowser Jr. Playroom]] and [[Bowser Castle (baseball stadium)|Bowsers Castle]]. While [[Boo]] and Red Shy Guy are depicted as minions in cutscenes, in gameplay they are respectively on the [[Wario Muscles]] and [[Yoshi Eggs]] teams.
| |
| | |
| ===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
| |
| In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', some members of Bowser's Minions, especially those accidentally trapped inside [[Baddie Block]]s, fight alongside Mario and Luigi to stop Bowser from abusing the power of the [[Orb (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|Orbs]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Bowser’s Minions can be found operating on the seas surrounding the [[Kingdom of Bask]], with Koopa Troopa brothers ferrying Mario and [[Toad]] between locations on [[Airship]]s. Bowser has instructed his minions, including Kamek, to locate the [[Power Stone]]s, with his minions guarding the final Power Stone at his castle on [[Inferno Island]]. This leads to several confrontations with Mario, who is also searching for the Power Stones. The Koopalings' Airships from ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' can also be seen flying in the background of the [[Savage Sea]] court, while several minions are spectators to the Tennis matches throughout the game.
| |
| | |
| ===''Dr. Mario World''===
| |
| In ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', many of Bowser's minions, alongside Toads, are sent into a panic and fall ill due to the [[virus]] invasion. This prompts Bowser to work alongside Peach, Mario and many other characters to hunt down all the viruses. During the game's Clinic Events, sick Minions such as two Goombas, a [[Spike]], a Koopa Troopa, two Piranha Plants, a Paragoombas, a Koopa Paratroopa, a Shy Guy and two [[Blooper]]s can be cured.
| |
| | |
| Alongside Dr. Bowser and Dr. Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Kamek, a Lakitu, a [[Goomba Tower]], a Koopa Troopa, a Blooper, a Boo, [[King Boo]], a Piranha Plant and [[Petey Piranha]] appear as Doctors. Additionally, many other Minions appear as Assistants.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Golf: Super Rush''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', Bowser's Minions are overpowered and frozen by the [[Snow King]]'s minions on Mount Snow after Bowser falls asleep. After the player's Mii character uses the Power of Flame to light the brazier in the town center, the minions thaw out and give the player access to the town’s facilities. It is stated that the [[Bowser Highlands]] course was built at Bowser’s vacation home by the minions, following Bowser’s orders, and filled with traps for a showdown with Mario. Outside of story mode, several of Bowser's Minions can be found as obstacles in Bowser Highlands.

| [[The Super Mario Bros. Movie#Bowser's army|Bowser's army]] plays a prominent role in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', starting with their invasion of the [[Snow Kingdom (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|Snow Kingdom]], and obtaining the Super Star in its castle. The army is led by the [[Koopa General]], taking orders from Bowser, with Kamek serving as his adviser.

| ===Recurring bosses===
| |
| Since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', various bosses have been associated with Bowser's army, often fought at the end of levels, or as area bosses in series such as the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] or the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]. The most common of those are [[Boom Boom]]s. Other bosses are depicted as rulers of a certain group of enemies, while still working as Bowser's Minions. These include, for example, [[Petey Piranha]] and [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[King Boo]] and [[Boo]]s, and [[King Bob-omb]] and [[Bob-omb]]s.
| |
| | |
| Other characters shown to be in charge of groups of minions include [[Wizakoopa]], [[Jagger]] and [[Goomhilde]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' (and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]), [[Kammy Koopa]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' (and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]), [[Army Hammer Bro]] in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' and the [[Koopa General]] in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. In ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'', the [[Elite Captain Quartet]] act as leaders of units of minions in the field.

| ====Enhanced minion bosses==== | | ==Soldiers of the Koopa Troop== |
| Occasionally, some minions have appeared as bosses, generally after being enhanced by Kamek's magic (such as in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]) or other means. These minions can sometimes look visually distinct from other minions, although often they are simply enlarged versions of them.

| ===Recurring minions=== | | ===Games=== |
| The number of members in Bowser's army varies greatly between games, with many species appearing only a few times. However, there are a number of recurring minions who appear consistently throughout the franchise. These minions are often described as belonging to Bowser's army or can be found inside places directly controlled by it, such as [[Castle]]s, [[Fortress]]es, [[Airship]]s or similar structures.
| | *Collecting the [[Sky Crystal]]s. |
| | *Creating a New Galaxy under Bowser's rule. |

| ==Weaponry and vehicles==
| |
| In addition to [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s and other weaponry-inspired minions, Bowser's Minions utilize a wide number of other types of weaponry and vehicles. Their most common type of vehicle is the [[airship]], a staple [[level]] type seen in most of their appearances. These airships, alongside [[castle]]s, [[fortress]]es and [[tower]]s often feature a variety of traps and weapons, such as [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Fire Bar]]s and [[Spinner]]s.

| The main base of operations for Bowser's Minions is [[Bowser's Castle]], with them also appearing in other territories ruled by [[Bowser]] or invaded by them. When invading territories, they are known to occupy fortifications such as [[Fortress]]es, [[Tower]]s and [[Castle]]s, with at least the smaller Fortresses found at the end of levels being built by them.<ref>{{cite|quote=A replica of the fortresses that Bowser builds.
