'''Mecha-Bowser''' is a huge Bowser-shaped robot that made its first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It has since made several appearances in some form or another in other games, mostly various spin-offs.  

 

Mecha-Bowser is found in [[Pinna Park#Episode 1: 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.]]) 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 F.L.U.D.D. After enough hits, the robot explodes, and Bowser Jr. pilots its head away to escape.

===''Mario Power Tennis''===

In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and its [[Mario Power Tennis#"New Play Control!" series|Wii port]], Mecha-Bowser is the boss of the [[Mecha-Bowser Mayhem]] [[minigame]], in which it rotates [[Bowser's Castle Court|the court]] and battles players, firing Bullet Bills and [[Bob-omb]]s that can be deflected back at it. Players must attack it with charged tennis balls until it is defeated.

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Mecha-Bowser is a giant toy on the [[Toy Dream]] board and shoots characters out of a [[cannon]] in its mouth to another location on the board whenever they land on a nearby [[? Space]]. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', its head is a feature of [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!]]. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', its head is featured on the [[Bowser Station]] board as a Jackpot Machine. It stores [[Mini Star]]s, and players can earn these stars by playing minigames or by landing on [[Jackpot+ Space]]s.

===''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series===

In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', when finishing the Bowser Cup with Bowser, Mecha-Bowser replaces [[Giant Bowser]] in a boss fight. His tactics are the same as Giant Bowser. The player have to throw Black Shells at the pillars supporting Mecha-Bowser to defeat him.
