===''Super Mario-kun''===
===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
{{main|Mekakuppa}}
In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Mecha-Bowser is found in [[Mecha-Bowser Appears!|Episode 1]] of [[Pinna Park]] and is controlled by [[Bowser Jr.]] To fight it, Mario, riding the park's [[Pinna Park#Roller Coaster|Roller Coaster]], must collect and fire [[water rocket]]s (via [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]) at Mecha-Bowser. Mecha-Bowser attacks by shooting [[Bullet Bill]]s at Mario, and by breathing fire on the Roller Coaster track, which can be doused using FLUDD. After enough hits, the robot explodes, and Bowser Jr. pilots its head away to escape.
The concept of a robotic ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' Bowser was first used in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''; the robot, [[Mekakuppa]], has the Japanese name of Mecha-Bowser, though both are also shared with the usual name for [[Mechakoopa]]s.
