Bowser is a recurring villain in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In this game, [[Kammy Koopa]] summons Bowser to tell him that Mario is attempting to find treasures known as the [[Crystal Stars]]. Bowser decides to find them himself because he believes they are "good world-conquering tools." She also states that Princess Peach has been taken by someone else, so Bowser makes it his mission to find and kidnap her himself. Accompanied by Kammy, Bowser appears as a playable character between chapters, similar to Peach in her segments. These scenes sometimes involve Bowser traveling through a side-scrolling world similar to the ones in ''Super Mario Bros.''. During these segments, Bowser can breathe fire or jump to defeat enemies, and can collect the [[Meat]] found in blocks to increase in size, becoming invincible and being able to destroy blocks and pipes after eating three. He also has infinite lives. Throughout these cutscenes, Bowser always appears to be a step behind Mario, and ultimately fails to find a single Crystal Star. | Bowser is a recurring villain in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

Bowser is fought twice in the game. He is first fought in the [[Glitz Pit]] after Mario reaches Rank 5 during Chapter 3. Bowser can attack by breathing fire, ground-pounding, and biting Mario. This fight can either result in Bowser's defeat or victory, but no matter the outcome he leaves [[Glitzville]] afterward. He is fought again alongside Kammy Koopa in the [[Palace of Shadow]] after he accidentally falls on top of [[ | Bowser is fought twice in the game.

During the actual boss battle, the Bowsers have only two attacks, but they both do considerable damage. Their first attack involves spitting fireballs at the ground, creating fiery waves for the trio to jump over. Like most paper enemies, Paper Bowser's fire comes out slower than Bowser's. After three waves, they combine their fire breath and create a massive fire blast that Paper Mario must jump over or risk taking a large amount of critical damage. Their other attack is to have [[Shy Guy]]s stack iron balls onto their hands. They then toss the iron balls onto the field. The iron balls that target the trio varies depending on which Bowser tosses them last. The Bowsers alternate between these attacks. The Bowsers also have a defensive ability: Whenever an Excellent hit is scored on one of them, they curl up into their shells, forcing the other to be attacked. Only one Bowser can do this at a time. If attacked while in their shell, the Bowser takes no damage. Additionally, depending on the attack used, the party member who attacked may take damage as well. | During the actual boss battle, the Bowsers have only two attacks, but they both do considerable damage.

Bowser is fought twice in this game, with his first battle taking place in his fortress on Wayaway Island, and many of his attacks use his minions. For one of his attacks, Bowser can send [[Koopa Troopa]]s at the Bros., who have to use hammer strikes to repel the enemies. This is followed by Bowser himself performing a shell dash, and the Bros. have to repel him with a hammer strike. If his shell dash hits, Bowser will send [[Spiny|Spinies]] at the Bros., who have to again use hammer strikes to repel the Spinies. Afterwards, he will use another shell dash | Bowser is fought twice in this game, with his first battle taking place in his fortress on Wayaway Island, and many of his attacks use his minions.

This is followed by Bowser himself performing a shell dash, and the Bros. have to repel him with a hammer strike. If his shell dash hits, Bowser will send [[Spiny|Spinies]] at the Bros., who have to again use hammer strikes to repel the Spinies. Afterwards, he will use another shell dash. Another attack has him perform a [[Ground Pound]], creating a tremor that must be jumped over. In a third one of his attacks, the Koopa King's minions charge at the Bros. and have to be jumped over (unless they are flying at a sufficient height or jump the target). Spinies charge more slowly, while Bob-ombs charge more quickly. These must be jumped over. After the Bros. dodge his minions, Bowser will use his sliding haymaker from ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', which must be jumped over or jump countered. Failing to avoid this will knock away the targeted Bro. for a few turns,<ref>[https://youtu.be/P95b6Gpb64s&t=497 Mario and Luigi Brothership Bowser Boss Fight - YouTube]</ref> and if the other Bro. is knocked down before or within those few turns, this results in a [[Game Over]], regardless of the remaining HP of the knocked away Bro.<ref>[https://youtu.be/3Qe50qhDQdM&t=674 Fewest Level Ups and NONE FOR LUIGI in Mario & Luigi Brothership - YouTube]</ref> He can also attack by swiping with his claws and tail, which must be jumped over. In another attack, the Koopa King will charge up his fire breath, and Mario and Luigi must jump onto the Cannonballs provided by [[Shy Guy]]s, then jump Bowser's fire breath. Bowser can chain his claws, tail swipes, and tremor attacks on the same turn. After half his health is depleted, Bowser becomes more powerful and glows for the rest of the fight. During this fight, Bowser is aided by his minions (Koopa Troopas, Goombas, etc.). | ||
