Qix Daiō
Species	Koopa
First appearance	Super Mario (Super Mario Land 4) (1990)

Qix Daiō is Bowser's third alter-ego in the Super Mario Land manga miniseries of the KC Deluxe series, during the events of the first two chapters of the fourth issue. Bowser wears a black Samurai-like helmet with two big triangular crests behind each of the winglets. A giant Game Boy is used like a chest piece. He also wears a black cape (red in one illustration) and pauldrons. Like always, nobody, neither minions nor enemies, refers to Qix Daiō as "Bowser".

While Princess Daisy visits the Mushroom Kingdom to see Mario, Qix Daiō kidnaps her by locking her behind the screen of his Game Boy armor and challenges Mario to save by retrieving the pieces of the key to free her by beating his minions around the world at Qix. Mario, followed by Luigi and Peach, accepts the challenge. In Mexico, the trio beats a Suu, and Qix Daiō punishes its failure by pulverizing him. In Africa, after Gao loses, Qix Daiō attaches a rope-line to it and a Fuse follows it and explodes it. In China, Qix Daiō buffs Pionpi to make things easier for it, but loses and it is reduced to dust. The key is restored, but before freeing Daisy, Qix Daiō teleports the heroes to the rooftop pool of the Qix Budi in New York City, where they will face him in a 2 player battle.

Qix Daiō is aided by Hiyoihoi, who uses his Ganchan to keep away the floating Qix from their Marker. After the Qix breaks Mario's Marker in half, almost making him fall off the building, Qix Daiō attempts to push him off. Daisy, still trapped inside the Game Boy, notices Bowser's belly button bulging in her prison and starts tickling it, making Qix Daiō spasms so much that his pointy helmet breaks his own Marker down. In a last attempt to win, Qix Daiō takes control over the Qix to eliminate Mario, but he finishes the match, meeting the required score to win, causing Qix Daiō to blow up in smithereens. The Game Boy chest piece is left behind and Daisy is rescued.
