| | A '''fake Bowser''' (also called '''Bowser Impostor''' or '''Bowser's decoy''') is a standard enemy that was transformed by [[Bowser]]'s black magic into a extremely convincing duplicate of himself. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' |
| '''Impostor Bowsers''', also referred to as '''fake Bowsers''' or as '''Bowser's decoys''' in ''[[NES Remix]]'', are standard enemies that were transformed to resemble [[Bowser]] and serve a comparable role to him. They first appear as [[list of bosses|bosses]] in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', in which they were transformed by Bowser himself using his black magic. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Concept and creation== | | ==Background== |
| The concept of fake Bowsers came about during development of ''Super Mario Bros.'' Since all enemies have their sprites flipped upside-down when they are defeated (except for [[Piranha Plant]]s, which simply disappear, and [[Bullet Bill]]s, which stay rightside up), one of the programmers accidentally inserted an upside-down Koopa Troopa shell when portraying Bowser's death animation as if he were defeated with fireballs. The developers liked this idea, and as a result, this idea was extended to most of the Bowser battles in the game.<ref>https://www.giantbomb.com/false-bowser/3015-8320/{{better source}}</ref> | | ===Concept and creation=== |
| | The reason for the fake Bowsers in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' is due to the fact that, while the game was still in development, since all enemies have their sprites flipped upside-down when they are defeated (except for [[Piranha Plant]]s, which simply disappear, and [[Bullet Bill]]s, which stay rightside up, while defeated [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Buzzy Beetle]]s turn into upside-down shells), one of the programmers accidentally inserted an upside-down Koopa Troopa shell when portraying Bowser's death animation as if he were defeated with fireballs. The developers liked this idea, and as a result, this idea was extended to most of the Bowser battles in the game.{{ref needed}} |

| Like Bowser, the blue [[Bowser's Brother]] in World D-4 is also a fake revealed to be a Spiny when defeated with fireballs, and only breathes fire. In ''Super Mario All-Stars'', both of these fakes are replaced with the real ones that only throw hammers, although Bowser's Brother is now green and looks identical to his twin. Due to ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'' also featuring Worlds A-D, all of the fake Bowsers from those worlds return, including the fake Bowser's Brother in World D-4. | | Like Bowser, the blue [[Bowser's Brother]] in World D-4 is also a fake revealed to be a Spiny when defeated with fireballs, and only breathes fire.

| In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a fake Bowser appears as a boss in the [[World-e]] level [[Classic World 1-4]], where it plays a similar role to that played in ''Super Mario Bros.'', though it looks identical to the game's real Bowser. It is revealed that the fake Bowser is a Goomba if it is defeated with fireballs. Since it acts like the fake Bowsers in ''Super Mario Bros.'', it is shown walking, unlike ''Super Mario Advance 4''{{'}}s (as well as every other version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''{{'}}s) depiction of Bowser, who only leaps. | | In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a fake Bowser appears as a boss in the [[World-e]] level [[Classic World 1-4]], where it plays a similar role to that played in ''Super Mario Bros.'', though it looks identical to the game's real Bowser. It is revealed that the fake Bowser is a Goomba if it is defeated with fireballs. |

| While typical fake Bowsers do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', variants powered by [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] known as [[Tail Bowser]]s make their first appearance.
| | [[File:SM3DL - False Bowser Screenshot.png|thumb|Screenshot of a Tail Bowser from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.]] |
| | Fake Bowsers, referred to as '''Tail Bowsers''',<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, pages 28 and 76.</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They have spiky [[Raccoon Mario|striped tail]]s, and they attack like they do in ''Super Mario Bros.'', breathing giant fireballs and jumping around the stage, though they do not throw hammers. |
| | |
| | However, unlike in ''Super Mario Bros.'', only two Tail Bowsers appear: one in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}} and the other in {{world-link|5|castle|World 5-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}. They are also immune to projectiles. In order to defeat a Tail Bowser, Mario or Luigi has to press a switch at the end of bridge to make it collapse and send the Tail Bowser into the lava. After falling into the lava, Tail Bowsers bounce upwards and show their true forms (a [[Goomba]] in World 1, and a [[Magikoopa]] in World 5) with a [[Super Leaf]] beside them. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Run''==== | | ====''Super Mario Run''==== |
| In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', fake Bowsers appear at the end of [[castle]] courses, excluding [[World 6 (Super Mario Run)|World 6]]'s [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]] and [[Make the Cut!]] which have the real Bowser. [[World 1 (Super Mario Run)| World 1]]'s castle, [[Bowser's Castle Hangout]], has a Goomba as the Fake Bowser. [[World 3 (Super Mario Run)|World 3]]'s [[Fire Bar Castle! Youch!]] has a Green Koopa Troopa as the Fake Bowser, and [[World 5 (Super Mario Run)|World 5]]'s [[Rings of Fire!]] has a Buzzy Beetle as the Fake Bowser. They walk back and forth along their bridge, occasionally shooting a [[Bowser's Flames|Bowser's Flame]], jumping, or jumping and briefly staying in the air to shoot a Bowser's Flame. A [[Pause Block]] is placed directly before the bridge, and a cutscene forces the player to stop on it the first time the player enters the area per run of the course. Fire Bar Castle! Youch! adds a [[Fire Bar]], while Rings of Fire! adds a [[Fire Chain]]. An [[Axe]] on the other side collapses the bridge, causing the Fake Bowser to reveal its true identity before falling into the lava. | | In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', fake Bowsers appear at the end of the [[fortress]] levels in Worlds [[World 1 (Super Mario Run)|1]], [[World 3 (Super Mario Run)|3]] and [[World 5 (Super Mario Run)|5]]. They are a Goomba, a green Koopa Troopa, and a Buzzy Beetle, respectively. |
| | |
| Fake Bowsers do not have an entry in the Notebook. Rather, a Fake Bowser counts as the enemy using the disguise. Thus, the results screen for a course shows that enemy, and adds one to the number of that enemy defeated for the purposes of [[level up|leveling up]] that enemy.
| |
|
| |
|
| In Remix 10, some areas end in castles, with the [[VS Bowser]] course. A Fake Bowser must be defeated, through the same means as before. For doing so, the player receives all three of the course's [[Bonus Medal]]s. The Fake Bowser is always the disguised form of a Goomba. VS Bowser allows the player to enter with a [[Super Star]] or while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]], and touching a Fake Bowser while invincible defeats it instantly. It is knocked off the bridge without losing the disguise. Area 30's version instead has the real Bowser.
| | ===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''=== |
| | While a fake Bowser never appears physically in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', one appears on a [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]], taking its design from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. |

| {{quote|Bet you didn't see that coming. Bye-bye, Toady! Hello, humongous Impostor Bowser!|Kamek|Super Mario Party Jamboree}}
| | A Tail Bowser appears as a boss in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', specifically in the Mario World version of [[Dream Figure Skating]]. The appearances of the stage and its boss are based off ''Super Mario 3D Land''. He chases the team across a giant collapsing bridge, spitting fireballs at them. The team must hit four buttons at the same time to cause the fake Bowser to fall into lava, where he turns into a Goomba and a Super Leaf. |
| In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', [[Kamek]] transforms a [[Toady]] into a massive fake Bowser called Impostor Bowser. Unlike other Fake Bowsers, Impostor Bowser has a purple glow and Magikoopa magic symbols coming out of him. He replaces Bowser himself as the host of [[Bowser Space]]s due to Bowser being a playable character.
| | {{br}} |
|
| |
|
| Impostor Bowser appears prominently on the [[King Bowser's Keep]] board, where he is in the middle of the Bowser Byway. Periodically, he will change the direction of travel and transform more spaces on the byway into Bowser Spaces. Uniquely on this board, he will grab players that land on Bowser Spaces instead of them being transported to another location, and even occasionally destroy the roulette to instantly steal a star or all of their coins. He also serves as the boss of that board in the Party-Planner Trek mode, being faced in the [[Bowser Crashers]] [[minigame]].

| Aside from Mario Party mode, Impostor Bowser is also a focal point in the "Bowser Challenges", Koopathlon and Bowser Kaboom Squad. Both involve surviving attacks from Impostor Bowser, with the ultimate goal of the latter being to defeat him within the time limit.
