==Wreck it Ralph Movie Appearance==
Should we note in the triva or somewhere that Bowser will appear in Wreck it Ralph (For those of you who don't know it is a new Disney movie.)This appearance is not just a cameo, as he is in this villain club in the movie.

I agree that it should be put on the article as the latest artwork. Other users are concerned that the image it not high-resolution enough. But personally, I don't think we need it to be super-large for an image that is going to be downscaled for an infobox anyway. The image itself is good quality, but the size is what others are concerned about. But please don't replace the image just yet. Other users wish to wait a while longer before making a final decision. Thanks.

: What YoshiKong said, plus the other standard is that the characters in question would be facing the reader. So I doubt the NSMBU picture of Bowser would <i>really</i> fit criteria for the infobox itself to be changed (provided that we find a better "source version" of said picture). --M.

::I've never heard of a "facing the reader" requirement. Really, the only policy I know of is on [[Template:Character infobox]] (which the admins decided to write to avoid unnecessary TPPs about which artwork to use): use the latest artwork unless there's something atypical about it (i.e. if the character is holding sports equipment or kart racing ir whatever), in which case the second-most-recent image can be used (or older, if there were multiple unsuitable spin-off artwork). - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 09:39, 18 December 2012 (EST)

Fixed. But if we are having this TPP, then what was MeritC referring to [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Bowser&diff=1359751&oldid=1359747 here]?

{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 21:07, 19 December 2012 (EST)

: The reason is being that the "source version" of that NSMBU picture hasn't surfaced yet, and number two as PTR stated -- it's not showing the whole face. Third, that NSMB2 picture is the same as the SMG Bowser picture pose wise. My assumption is that this anonymous person is trying to get the infobox picture to be the same one that Wikipedia uses (yet, this site is trying to NOT imitate Wikiepdia for good reason). --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! [[User:MeritC|User Page]] | [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]] 22:37, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Okay, so we don't really need a TPP for the NSMB2 artwork because it rightfully gets a place in the infobox as it is the latest and there is nothing "atypical" about it. But may you please answer the question in my comment above?

{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 22:55, 19 December 2012 (EST)

:Erm, ''NSMB2'' was first released on July 28, 2012, but ''NSMBU'' only came out on November 18, 2012 - nearly four months later. ''NSMBU'' is the most recently released game, so its artwork is what the infobox's policy is calling for, not ''NSMB2''. The rule of thumb is that the artwork should be from the game that's also listed in the "latest appearance" line (consistency), unless that game's a spinoff and its artwork is specialized for that subseries, which isn't the case with ''NSMBU'': it's just given stylized, moody shadowing, but there's no hard rule against that, or not facing the readers, or not being big enough, or whatever. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 21:55, 20 December 2012 (EST)

{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 23:06, 20 December 2012 (EST)

:Yep, it's unnecessary, and I'm deleting it and updated the article according to policy. The only reason this TPP wasn't deleted yesterday was because it also brought up the issue of anonymous users participating in proposals, so we (the admins) wanted to decide how that should be run first.

This is the second time in a row you've neglected to list your TPP on [[MarioWiki:Proposals]]. And your last proposal was barely even formatted at all: it should have been ''removed'', not fixed by someone else. Either do it right, or don't make proposals at all. And in cases like these, I'd say not at all: TPPs for changing quotes are even more overkill than ones about changing the infobox images. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 19:17, 15 January 2013 (EST)

==Bowser's Inside Story Stats?==
The Bowser's Inside Story section includes stats on Bowser's second fight, but not the first one in Peach's Castle. Is that information available somewhere? The [[Midbus]] article could also use that information.

==Disambiguations==
Just noticed all the disambiguations at the top were apparently removed from this article a few months ago with no edit summary (the same edit also removed the featured article template, which has since been added back); is there any reason they disappeared? They disambiguated the article from a seperate character named King Bowser (whose name redirects here), among other things. Checking the contributor's talk page, it appears they got a "last warning" for removing articleabout templates, so I'm thinking these should be added back.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 14:06, 14 February 2013 (EST)

== evil ==

Ok I understand that bowser has a soft side but in his personality section almost all references of him being evil are removed and replaced with ''he's spoft'kind'and compassionate and not that evil.I may be a loner in this but I ma a moral objectivist ad I believe that the definition of evil is bringing physical or mental harm on others for your own personal ambition.

Bowser is evil no matter what people say.Just because he loves certain people does not give him the right to turn people into bricks or destroy the universe.
Bowser may not be ''pure'' evil but he IS evil because he does awful things for his own selfish ambition.

And his japanese name is daimao koopa wich means great demon king koopa.

I am not trying to make people mad but bowser is not as soft as people say he is so i think his personality section should be edited because it mostly has references to rpg games.

I have played almost every mario game bowser has tried to destroy the universe,take over the universe 3 times,tried to frame mario,tried to kill peach,bombed the mushroom kingdom,attacks some of his allies,gets upset over his galaxy falling apart and worrying for his son's safety,tried to flood the world,tried to takeover yoshis island on numerous occasions,steals stuff a whole alot,and turns people into bricks.

If thats not evil then I don't know what is! His attraction to peach is physical because if he honestly loved her then he would care about her feelings and stop doing bad things.

and mario is not evil because he does not have to kill goombas but the player makes him do it......you can just jump over them.
and if he does it for self-defense and to save each so it does not count as evil because he really has not free will to decide to jump on a goomba and even if he does the same goomba will pop back up when you come back so it is not really dead.

In short bowser is not as evil as the article originally said......BUT he is also not as good as the article says now.

And once again I am not trying to anger anyone but I'm just a little frustrated.{{unsigned|Superking99}}

and of course all the references to him being serious and evil in the main games has been completely removed.any mention of him being evil has been removed.
and the page is being prevented form being edited.I really think people need to understand that bowser was created as a a pure evil villain in some of the games but is remodled in the rpg's.His page just basically calls him a kind hearted and softy bully then anything.
{{unsigned|Superking99}}

:The section ''does'' say Bowser's evil a couple times, and the whole thing ends with calling him a "villain who only cares about conquering lands and destroying his opposition", but there's only so much to say about how he's an evil dude, whereas lots of other games present different aspects of his personality that ''do'' need to be explained (including the many unsavoury personality issues showcased by the RPGs). The History section is the testament to all the bad stuff he's done: we don't need to go over it again in Personality too: we want content, not filler. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 23:26, 24 February 2013 (EST)


Yeah i see that now.It does call him evil every now and then but calling bowser undeveloped in galaxy is not true because he clearly had an evil personality there.

I label bowser as being average evil.He is not evil like ganondorf but he is not as misunderstood as king dedede.Bowser is just plain evil in my eyes.

and another thing.What source do we have other then paper mario that bowser wants to marry peach because he mentions it in very few games.In his relationships it says he woulf never kill peach but do we really have any source for this claim? Bowser did not show any love for peach in super princess peach and tried to kill her.How exactly do we know that the rpgs are even apart of the mainstream series?{{unsigned|Superking99}}

I agree, ''[[Bowser]]'' is a very evil guy. i like him, he is my second favorite character. i think he is not a minor villain at all!

== Latest appearance is false! ==

==Quote==
i'm thinking the current Quotes is famous but, not THE most famous it's long and isn't the REAL most famous quote, "Did someone page the king of awesome?"~Bowser mario and Luigi bowser's inside story[[User:Bonkaman|Bonkaman]] ([[User talk:Bonkaman|talk]])

Since no one else has replied, I'd like to give my two cents on this, as well. I'm not certain about "Did someone page the king of awesome?" being Bowser's "most famous quote" as Bonkaman suggested, but I do agree that the current quote doesn't properly capture Bowser's character. But when I finished ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'' last week, I read a great line from Bowser that I think describes him in the way Nintendo commonly views and portrays him in a lot of games. I propose we change the quote to that line, like so:

{{quote|Hear me! I will kidnap [[Princess Peach|Peach]] OVER and OVER until I pull it off! And no one can stop me! Losing is not an option! And neither is giving up!|Bowser|Mario & Luigi: Dream Team}}

I feel that this is more in line with how Nintendo views Bowser's character: not as someone who always "stomps fools without needing a reason," but as the catalyst for the stories of games by kidnapping Peach over and over, or even kidnapping her or at least attempting to when the story gets rolling from some other antagonist. Many games even poke fun of how it seems to happen so much, and I feel like this line is no exception, with the difference being that it's said by Bowser himself instead of some minor NPC who only appears in one game. That the current quote makes no mention of the fact that Bowser's main role in the ''Super Mario'' series has always been to kidnap Peach and get Mario going seems a little odd in comparison. It almost feels like a bit of a misrepresentation. Anyway, sorry for being so long-winded, I cut out as much of the padding from this as I could, but I still wanted to get my point across. [[User:Teamrocketspy621|Teamrocketspy621]] ([[User talk:Teamrocketspy621|talk]]) 13:11, 21 September 2013 (EDT)

:You've got some very good points there. Unlike the "king of awesome" quote, the ''ML:DT'' quote ''does'' cover multiple aspects of Bowser's personality, and kidnapping Peach is about as universal as you can get - as opposed to the ''SPM''-specificity of the current quote, which has always bugged me. So yeah, it'd totally support changing the quote to your suggestion: hopefully a few more folks will agree, and it'll be a go! - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 19:19, 21 September 2013 (EDT)

==Summary==
Sorry about not putting a summary on the previous edit. What I was going to say was that Bowser is the secondary antagonist (after [[Antasma]]) in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', so he is still a "minor villain" in a way.
{{User:Dry Bowser rules!/sig}}
No, actually he is a major villain in Dream Team, because he is the true main antagonist and final boss.
{{User:Bigmariofan/sig}}

== Possible Page Splits? ==

Alright, I'm new here and I might be overstepping my "newbie" boundaries a bit, but here's a thought for everyone.

I've noticed that Bowser's article on this wiki is, to put it in his words, '''"HUUUUUUGE!"''' To make it a bit less tedious to look through, might I suggest creating a separate page for information about him as a boss (e.g. a page called "Bowser (boss)" or something similar)? It'd make this page a bit more manageable, I think.--[[User:SliverEmperor|SliverEmperor]] ([[User talk:SliverEmperor|talk]]) 16:32, 19 December 2013 (EST)
:This page could use a lot of optimization, but I don't think your solution is ok because it breaks the consistency. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 16:34, 19 December 2013 (EST)
::Got to agree with Baby Luigi here, generally pages are split when the subject is different. Bowser (boss) is the same as Bowser (character), and don't worry, you're not overstepping anything. {{User|Yoshi876}}
:::I've always liked the idea of splitting out the horrible stats sections of major character as a way to shorten those monster pages and simplify their structure and navigation. No more having two headers for each spinoff game, and no more inconsistencies like having some stats in the Histories while other ones are separate and at the bottom; if you want the history and stats back-to-back you could open each page in separate tabs instead of having to scroll up and down - but if you only want one or the other, you'd only have to load one. I think having the main page just consisting of the nice body paragraphs (the Creation/Development, Histories and General Information sections, plus the Quotes and other things that should be paragraphs rather than bare redirects as per the Empty Section Policy) is more presentable than having them half made up of the messy, messy stats stuff. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 17:08, 19 December 2013 (EST)
::::No, Bowser the boss is the same as Bowser the character. Should we split Peach into Peach (NPC) and Peach (Playable Character)? No, we shouldn't.

:I don't want to sound stubborn here, but I can't help but think that everyone is missing my real point here. Bowser ISN'T the only character who also acts as an enemy in the ''Mario'' series, but he IS one of the few characters '''who has an extensive history as both a recurring enemy/boss in the games and as an important character in the storylines'''. I'm not saying that we need to separate the pages of ''every'' enemy into their appearances as a character and as an in-game foe, but I think that Bowser could have a separate page for his various boss battles without making it or its progenitor page too small.--[[User:SliverEmperor|SliverEmperor]] ([[User talk:SliverEmperor|talk]]) 23:13, 2 January 2014 (EST)

:And they've still illustrated a point nonetheless; the change is unnecessary for the most part, and the enemy bit was explained to establish a slippery slope argument, i.e. there's a standard of consistency here, and why deviate from the established way of doing things (if it ain't broke don't fix it). Plus that means if we DO do this, we HAVE to do it for other large enemy articles due to that standard of consistency.

:Continuing on that subject of standard, there hasn't been a need thus far to seperate Bowser the character from Bowser the boss (for lack of a better way of putting it); one reason that occurs to me in particular is because it'd seem "game guide-y" to make that separation, silly as that likely sounds, but bear with me. As the site's an encyclopedia, it's more befitting of thay status to include it all under one article for relative ease of access (there's also the standard I mentioned).

:To my knowledge, most of the time they have two seperate articles about what would appear to be the same subject, it's because there's a distinction of sorts between them (e.g. the Scutlet enemt and the boss Scutlet inside Bowser; they're clearly the same species but the boss one has abilities not seem in the enemy versions and a different Japanese name to boot). There's nothing about Bowser's page that really fits that bill, or any other criteria they'd use to split up pages, and that's probably a big factor as to why this is considered unnedessary.

This might be a pedantic little thing, but is "Bowser Koopa" really an official English name? I'm only aware of him being called that in the cartoons, and only one time I think. Is he ever referred to as anything other than Bowser in the official canon? This seems like an incorrect holdover from side material much like "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario", but please feel free to correct me. [[User:Fizzle|Fizzle]] ([[User talk:Fizzle|talk]]) 17:42, 2 January 2014 (EST)
:The cartoons ''are'' official canon. So is the film. [[MarioWiki:Canonicity|See here for more info]]. I'm not sure if he was called by his full name in a game at some point, although I know the ''SMB'' instruction manual referred to him as "Bowser" and "King Koopa" (and "Bowser, King of the Koopas"). He was also referred to as "Bowser Koopa" in the song "[[Ignorance is Bliss]]", and called "King Bowser Koopa" in the story included with the album containing that song, ''[[White Knuckle Scorin']]''.- {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:12, 2 January 2014 (EST)
::This reminds me of this whole "Princess Toadstool" thing. Bowser is referred to that only a few times, but it's not really "canon" as much as it is "established". Sounds like a nickname more than an actual name. <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 20:29, 2 January 2014 (EST)
:The cartoons are canon? Well let me raise my eyebrow through the roof. And further. Oh dear. What happened here? So does that mean Hotel Mario is canon too? Haha, well. That's... certainly an... idea. Have fun with that. I know the Mario series has a very loose canon, but there's loose and then there's utterly flimsy. Personally I would not classify anything of that nature as being canon. Or at the very least, I certainly wouldn't keep that sort of thing in the main heading of an article. That would be like claiming that Mario speaks with a Brooklyn accent. [[User:Fizzle|Fizzle]] ([[User talk:Fizzle|talk]]) 13:48, 4 January 2014 (EST)


''well actually'' the proper thing to say would be that nothing is cannan. Because there's no cannan. So everything officially-licensed is Cannan. wow.

I do think the wiki sometimes pay too much heed to these early western licensed stuff. Not necessarily in term of organization or the like, but I occasionally read statements like "In ''Mario Party 10: Nanotech Disaster'', Mario says he is 27-years old, even though he said he is 36 in episode 5 of The Super Show" (crappy example, but you get what I'm saying), which is just silly for several reasons.

(don't get what's so laughable about Hotel being cannan, either. It's an officially licensed product and doesn't feature any obvious departure from the series, apart from the two bros being more chatty than usual. It's a shitty game, so what? So is Yoshi's Universal Gravitation.) --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 18:34, 6 January 2014 (EST)
:Well, if Hotel Mario is canon, that means the CDi Zeldas are canon, and they sure as heck are not! But, that's a slightly separate issue I guess. Aside from that, Mario and Luigi speak in those Brooklyn accents I believe and it seems readily based on the cartoons rather than the games (much like the CDi Zeldas). Also like the Zelda games, I suspect it had NO involvement from anyone at Nintendo aside from the licensing. Nintendo pretty much disowned all the CDi games before they were even released. They only exist because they were made by Phillips on the cheap to cash in on the license they received as part of the fallout from the failed SNES CD deal. They're a unique case, but similar to the cartoons I would not consider them to be "canon" and I suspect nobody in Japan developing Mario games have even played them, and most may not even be aware they exist. [[User:Fizzle|Fizzle]] ([[User talk:Fizzle|talk]]) 12:37, 18 January 2014 (EST)

''"Well, if Hotel Mario is canon, that means the CDi Zeldas are canon, and they sure as heck are not!"''

False equivalency. Zelda has official material that outline its continuity, all of which pointedly ignore the CD-i games. Mario, well, doesn't. I guess, you could argue it isn't in that booklet bundled with Super Mario AllStars Wii, but then so is Super Mario land. And I don't think anyone's going to pretend Wario doesn't exist.

'' I believe and it seems readily based on the cartoons rather than the games (much like the CDi Zeldas).''

I... don't see it? The Koopalings have their game designs and use their game names rather than DIC's, most of the characters and items are somewhat accurate to the previous games, it doesn't feature the DIC Cartoon's character design or stylistic quirks... etc. Any difference in voice acting and characterization can be handwaved as Hotel Mario being released during that period in big franchises existences where things like voice and characterization aren't set in stone.

''I suspect nobody in Japan developing Mario games have even played them, and most may not even be aware they exist.''

If "it's outsourced" and "it's not popular" were factors to decide what's cannan or not, stuff like Mario Pinball, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Universal Gravitation... etc would be out too. I just don't see what's differentiate the game from any of the previously mentioned third-party droll, except not being directly published by Nintendo. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 22:13, 18 January 2014 (EST)

::@Fizzle: Your argument, "It's crap, so it can't be canon" is also flimsy, especially if you apply the argument's inverse (if that's the correct term): "it's good, so it must be canon". Would you consider Super Smash Bros. games, considered popular, excellent games, to be canon to the Mario series? Not to mention, like what Glowsquid said, Link games do have an established canon. Mario does not, so we have to assume Hotel Mario occurred in the same timeline, no matter how horrifying the cutscenes are. {{User:Mario/sig}} 22:34, 18 January 2014 (EST)

:::PLEASE don't straw man my argument, that's poor show, come on. My argument isn't "it's crap so it can't be canon", my argument is "it wasn't published, made by or has since been recognized by Nintendo or even released in Japan, so it's not canon". My argument is not that one thing makes it uncanon, more that MANY things make it not canon. Also, I'm of the opinion that if the CDi Zeldas are not recognized by Nintendo as part of the series I'm not sure why the Mario games would be, but I understand that has no "proof" behind it. I don't see much difference, however. Hotel Mario simply escapes due to having a looser canon to begin with. It still falls into all the different pitfalls that the Zelda games do, otherwise. [[User:Fizzle|Fizzle]] ([[User talk:Fizzle|talk]]) 00:19, 20 January 2014 (EST)

::@Glowsquid, there is a BIG difference between a second-party game (such as Donkey Kong Country and the games you mentioned) and Hotel Mario. Hotel Mario was developed with no actual involvement from Nintendo (aside from apparently a cursory input on how the characters should look, however they do this for any material using Mario's likeness, I've seen the actual guidelines they release to the press), no advertising, publishing or Japanese release, nor even a release on a Nintendo console. It will never be officially released or even mentioned by Nintendo in any official capacity ever. You cannot compare the two things. The CDi games were effectively third party titles with license from Nintendo to allow them to use these characters (due to a legal dispute, I might add). It is better to compare them to Mario's cameo in NBA Street V3, since it simply revolves around use of the Mario license.

::Honestly, the fact that Hotel Mario ISN'T as horrible as it could be actually hurts my argument somewhat, because it is not absolutely abhorrent to the canon since it doesn't affect it much (like the Zelda games would). But using any form of logic I simply cannot accept it is on the same level of canon as a game like Super Mario Galaxy, even with a series where canon is not a "big deal". I find it fascinating, interesting, but entirely irrelevant to the actual Mario series, much like the movie. [[User:Fizzle|Fizzle]] ([[User talk:Fizzle|talk]]) 00:19, 20 January 2014 (EST)
:::I don't accept it either, but I follow the wiki rules simply because it is more logical and not reflecting my personal opinion. Nintendo has never stated that Hotel Mario is unofficial. I don't think the Mario comics and cartoons are developed with extensive from involvement from Nintendo (Nintendo is a game company first), nor are they mentioned from any other medium. You can't compare NBA Street V3 either because the characters are guest appearances while Hotel Mario is a ''Mario'' game (takes place in the Mario universe). Nintendo has never established an official canon; as a result, we cover everything from the same timeline and give equal treatment until Nintendo has a say on it. Right now, we're just in the gray zone, so we should just assume the affirmative and cover everything as we do now. {{User:Mario/sig}} 00:29, 20 January 2014 (EST)

::Perhaps everyone has his own canon! Some believe Mario is in love with Peach while some (Including me) believe they're just friends, some say (Including me) that Paper Mario is a separate canon! My point is that due to the lack of actual canon we can freely interpretate many things! I do not consider Hotel Mario (TOAST) canon due to the personality difference to most characters! I do not consider the show canon due to the whole New York City backstory which I'm no fan of! I guess you can sorta mold your own canon from preexisting games! {{unsigned|82.171.69.97}}

== Paper Mario Personality Difference ==

Should we make an entirely new page for Bowser in the Paper Mario series?
Not only does that series seem to have it's own canon which explains why characters such as Kammy Koopa and such never appeared! Further on is the fact that Bowser's personality is drastically different! Instead of the self-pronounced King Of Awesome (How he usually refers to himself in the Mario and Luigi series) he's a LOT MORE childish and seems more focused on marrying Peach than ruling the Mushroom Kingdom! Both his personality and reason are different so he might be a different character!

==Daimaō = sorcerer king?==
If I'm not mistaken, Daimaō has quite a few different meanings, also related to magic, and the interesting thing is that in the North American manual of Super Mario Bros. Bowser is called a "sorcerer king". Even if "Great Demon King" is the typical translation used due to his appearance and the fact that he is an evil villain, could actually "sorcerer king" be the translation Nintendo chose to use for the word Daimaō referred to Bowser?

[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 21:35, 31 October 2014 (EDT)

:Interesting. And quite possible, although I think "sorcerer" is an oversimplification on their part, as traditional uses of Daimaō (大魔王) (or at least just plain Maō) seems to be as kings of malevolent, magical demons (see [[Wikipedia:Mazoku|Mazoku]]). The sinister aspect reminds me a bit of the Witch King from ''Lord of the Rings'', actually, but "witch" isn't exactly a gender neutral title in regular use anymore, so I can see why they settled for "sorcerer". - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 01:01, 1 November 2014 (EDT)

== The evolution of the depiction of Bowser ==
I tried making sense of the evolution of the depiction of Bowser and indeed there are interesting connections to be made, however when looking at the artwork for ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', things becomes murkier.
First, let's start with an image that is not attributed to SMB: TLL. This could be an artwork of Blue Bowser from that game:<br />
[[File:BowserSMBart.png|200px]]<br />
Here the blue color of the skin is clear, while the red eyes, yellow hair and black eyebrows come from the depiction of Bowser in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' box artwork.<br />
It is important to note that in the cover art for SMB: TLL the following artwork of Bowser appears:<br />
[[File:BowserSMB1.png|200px]]<br />
But in the gallery we also have two other artworks of Bowser that we have to identify and that so far have been associated to SMB:TLL:<br />
[[File:SMBLL Bowser NP Artwork.jpg|200px]]<br />
This first one is the cover art for SMB: TLL using the Super Mario World colors for hairs and eyes. While the red eyes are in the cover art for SMB and the red hair and eyebrows can be seen already in ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!'' - released in 1986 -, in that movie, in the cover art for ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and in almost all artworks for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' the blue eyes can clearly be seen (in two of the artworks for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', actually, the original yellow hair and black eyebrows remain, too). For this reason I suspect that this image is actually a recolored and corrected artwork.<br />
[[File:SMBLL Front Facing Bowser Artwork.png|200px]]<br />
This second image is actually present in the enemies section of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' in the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'', complete with the red eyes(keep in mind that the artworks in the enemies' sections of the Encyclopedia are recolored, with Iggy even having the color of the rings in the eyes inverted in the SMB3 section!). It is therefore possible that this is a recolored ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' artwork, since we also have the version of the same artwork with blue eyes and since in pretty much all other artworks for that game Bowser has blue eyes:<br />
[[File:SMB_Pinball-Bowser_Playfield_Detail.jpg|200px]]<br />
However, I would like your opinion on this and some directions on whether and how to include SMB: TLL in the section that deals with the evolution of Bowser's appearance.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 20:40, 16 April 2016 (EDT)

:You can probably include the design differences in the Lost Levels section, or you can include an analysis of Bowser's design and design changes within the appearances section, which is a good and interesting use of appearance sections. If I were writing this, I'd put it as a separate paragraph right after the one that starts with, "Bowser's appearance has evolved over time." I must tell you right now, however, that you shouldn't put too many images in one spot. That being said, you may not need to show several images, just note the disparity of the colors such as ''The Lost Levels'' correcting the colors (though the claw color in the similar "corrected" artwork is orange) similar to how the size disparity in the games is discussed. If you must use several images, try creating one image made from several images such as [[:File:Mario throughout the Super Smash Bros. series.png|this composite image]] just for saving space. This also applies to the images I'm seeing in the "Physical appearance" section, which I'm assuming you added. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 23:44, 17 April 2016 (EDT)

== Quote ==

I thought the quote was changed the Dream Team one (Which I think fits Bowser's personality ''waaay'' better), but then someone changed it to Bowser's Inside Story one and said that the quote had been changed without discussion so he was changing it back.

{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 20:34, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

I'm not sure if it's officially named in ''Dream Team'' ({{tem|part conjecture}} may be used if one of the two appearances are unnamed). But as the gameplay and concept is very similar to the Giant Bowser battles as controlled by the player in ''Inside Story'', it would warrant an overview at the very least.

{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 20:40, 20 October 2016 (EDT)

:Considering his X version is called [[Giant Bowser X]], I'm pretty sure we ca assume that he is officially named Giant Bowser in the game.

There should be a link to the old [[Talk:Giant Bowser|Giant Bowser talk page]] here. Also, if I do end up creating the article, how do we deal with the Talk Pages? I would say delete the old one, but it contains a proposal, so it's kind of important. Would we merge the two?<br>

:Also, I've noticed that a "Giant Bowser" does appear in a few other games, namely ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', though he is unnamed in those as well. While the [[Bowser#Size|size]] portion of his article covers a good majority of his "Giant" appearances, should this proposed article cover his appearances in the mentioned game as well? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:33, 21 October 2016 (EDT)

I think that if this proposal passes, we have all Giant Bowsers who act differently from the regular Bowser, not just the size difference. Size difference should be mentioned at the top as "for games where Bowser changes in size, but no other difference, see [[Bowser#size]]."
{{unsigned|Yoshi the Space Station Manager}}
:That sounds wrong. I can't really think of any Giant versions of Bowser with special powers that aren't officially named. I would think that if we're including forms besides his Giant form in Inside Story, we should include all instances where there is a significant increase in size ''within one game''. In other words, we would not mention his(for the most part) subtle size differences between games. But we would mention games such as [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]] and the [[New Super Mario Bros.

:::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 18:19, 21 October 2016 (EDT)
::::I'm starting to think we should list any instance where Bowser's size is shown changing in-game and just use {{tem|part conjecture}} on the article. I'm thinking of the [[New Super Mario Bros.|N]][[New Super Mario Bros. Wii|S]][[New Super Mario Bros. 2|M]][[New Super Mario Bros. U|B]] games, [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]], [[Super Princess Peach]], and maybe a few others I can't think of right now. Not the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]] games. In those, enlargement is a power-up anyone can use. Is this a good plan?<br>
::::P.S. I noticed something about his transformations in NSMB Wii, NSMB2, and NSMBU. In Wii, look at his hair and eyes. They're glowing. Look at his attacks. He slams down into the lava without even flinching, when lava usually [[Dry Bowser|defeats him]]. In 2, watch his eyes when he rears back for a claw swipe. His eyes are glowing in the shadows. He can also control the lava by roaring. Finally, hover around him in the [[Junior Clown Car]] during the final battle of U. He uses different attacks while the player is the Clown Car. One of them is swiping at the player. When he swipes, his hand is on fire. But he didn't breathe on it. It lit on its own. Here's what I'm getting at. What if the Giant Bowser of the NSMB series is more than just bigger. What if he gains power over fire and lava besides his [[Fire Breath|breath]]? This is probably a little too speculative to deserve a mention on the article, but I'm intrigued. Has anyone else noticed this?<br>

:::::Two important things: this is not the proposal that was voted, so please don't do that, it would be bad practice to abuse the result of a proposal to do what you want; secondly, there are far more instances where Bowser isn't affected by lava: SMB, NSMBW, NSMB2, SM3DL and SM3DW just to name a few cases in the Super Mario series; notably, in both NSMB2 and SM3DL Dry Bowser appears but in the credits screen Bowser is clearly unaffected by the lava he fell into.

== Dream Team Quote vs. Inside Story Quote ==

I think we should change the quote. It's lengthy and doesn't show much of Bowser's personality. Here is the current quote:
{{quote|[[Mario|MAAAARRRRIIOOOO]]! Are you seriously trying to start with me again?! I hear about this big meeting, and I'm all ready to act nice... But man, the second I see your face, Mr. Nice Bowser is GONE. Yeah, forget your dumb meeting! I'll pummel you and grab [[Princess Peach|Peach]]!|Bowser|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story}}
Here is the quote I think we should use. It's not too long and pretty much sums up Bowser:
{{quote|Hear me! I will kidnap [[Princess Peach|Peach]] OVER and OVER until I pull it off! And no one can stop me! Losing is not an option! And neither is giving up!|Bowser|Mario & Luigi: Dream Team}}
Any takers?<br>
{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 15:36, 4 November 2016 (EDT)

:I actually do remember that ''Dream Team'' quote being on the page a long while ago, I'm not sure why it was changed. I do agree that the shorter and more representative, the better. The first quote is more ambiguous, less general (not every visitor will understand what "big meeting" he's referring to). The second one applies to his character in general, not just a specific situation like that first one.

:{{User:Shokora/sig}} 15:42, 4 November 2016 (EDT)
:Despite liking the Dream Team quote a lot, I think it should still display the BIS one because '''yes''' it does show a lot of Bowser's personality, it shows how much he hates Mario and wants to kidnap Peach it even adds a lot more to his rude personality by calling the meeting dumb. He has a tendency to do that (i.e calling his minions idiots way too often). It totally goes to show how much he wants to destroy Mario (which is his goal). The second one just says he just wants to constantly kidnap Peach until he wins and he knows one day he will. Confidence isn't really part of Bowser's personality, he's normally ruthless he doesn't think he just does (like Yoda). That is the only time Bowser even says confident words like that (losing is not an option and neither is giving up), but if we go back to BIS. He totally talks to Mario like he has the many times they've crossed paths, and he is straight out about kidnapping  to Peach (much like in the main series) so I think the BIS one should stay. {{User:The RPG Gamer/sig}} 15:47, 4 November 2016 (EDT)
::@Shokora That was me. I thought it had been officially decided, but I was wrong. @The_RPG_Gamer, you're right, confidence isn't part of his personality. But think about. He is defeated again and again and again... (2 hours later) ...and again, but keeps coming back! The Dream Team quote shows it. Also, like Shokora said, the Inside Story one mentions the meeting about the [[Blorbs]] and not everyone who looks at this page will know about it. (''I'' didn't know for a while.) I do admit, though, that the quote should have something to do with his hating [[Mario]]. But if you can find one with all of the qualities of the Dream Team quote and the Mario-hating aspect, please do!
::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 16:15, 4 November 2016 (EDT)

:Absolutely the Dream Team quote. Per The-User-Formerly-Known-As-YoshiKong (Shokora). Also, I don't know why it's being treated as the BIS quote being the default, it's been the DT quote for YEARS - the "discussion" that The-User-Formerly-Known-As-HUGE FIBBER listed in the edit summary was from *2013*. - [[User:Reboot|Reboot]] ([[User talk:Reboot|talk]]) 23:35, 4 November 2016 (EDT)

== 9999 HP in Paper Jam??? ==

This is insane!  There's no way he has this much HP in ''Paper Jam''.  Does this mean that you can't KO him until he becomes Shiny RoboBowser?  What happens if you hack to do so?  Or does this mean that you have to deal 9999 damage before he becomes Shiny RoboBowser?  I just want to know one thing: is this correct???
{{unsigned|YoshiFlutterJump}}
:"''[...]it is not possible to bring their health down all the way. After enough turns have passed, the two Bowsers decide to stop holding back, and with the assistance of hundreds (if not thousands) of Shiny paper enemies, they fuse together into Shiny RoboBowser, the game's real final boss.''" Yep. Not sure what would happen if you do manage to bring their health down all the way, likely a game crash if other boss fights with a scripted event are any indication. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 09:08, 16 November 2017 (EST)
::I'm not so sure about being impossible without hacking.

== Bowser's "Language" ==

We all know Bowser can speak(though in some game we'd like to forget it), but in Mario Odyssey's opening cutscene, it's shown that he actually says Mario and Peach's names when speaking, implying that the usual grumbles are actually some Koopa language. [[User:OmegaSilver|OmegaSilver]] ([[User talk:OmegaSilver|talk]]) 06:41, 30 December 2017 (EST)
:I think you'd better compare the grumbles to the gibberish of the various characters in the game: it is a replacement for various lines since full dubbing would require much more work (and a new recording session for each game, something which doesn't tend to happen in spin-off games).--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 19:06, 30 December 2017 (EST)

== Please Redo the ‘Paper Mario: Sticker Star’ Section ==

The ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' section really needs to be redone. One of the paragraphs is about 85% run-on sentence, and other paragraphs have some spelling, gramatical, and other mistakes. There is also a mistake in which an incorrect amount of Royal Stickers are listed; there are '''SIX''' ROYAL STICKERS, '''NOT FIVE'''. Finally, there is a lot of room for improvement in that section overall alongside the mistakes. Yes, I know that ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' didn’t quite meet the expectations of gamers and Mario fans, but it at least had a decent storyline, good side-quests and side-stories, and at least somewhat of a backstory for each of the bosses, so please, at least make that section of this Wiki page presentable.

==Bowser's Official Height?==

If Mario is 5'1" and Petey is 12'9", then what is Bowser's height? What about the other characters? What are they're heights? I'm mainly concerned about Bowser right now, because I've read his article, and learned a lot from the "size" section. Sometimes, Bowser is depicted as slightly taller than Mario, other games show him considerably taller than Mario, and then there are others that make his height double Mario's height. Does that mean his maximum possible height is 10'2"? Is Luigi 5'5"? Both Princesses are 5'4"? I'm not jumping to conclusions, because [[MarioWiki:Good writing|I want to remain in accordance with the wiki's writing standards]]. Please clarify this information for me- [[User:MarioManiac1981|MarioManiac1981]] (([[User talk:MarioManiac1981|talk]]))
:You'd better fix the typo you bolded, anyway Bowser doesn't have an official height, [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/characters/index.html just like all the other Mario characters], there are just {{file link|Mario 3DS chart.png|reference size charts for third parties}} that Nintendo quite often {{file link|Captain toad odyssey.jpg|doesn't even}} {{file link|SMO-ND0913-SCRN20.jpg|follow}} in their own games anyway.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 21:01, 18 September 2018 (EDT)

== Trivia Section and the Korean/Chinese Nintendo Direct E3 2019 Videos ==

I was adding a reference to the trivia section where it talks about how subtitles were added in the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions of the Direct, and so i went to these videos. The Japanese one does, in fact, have subtitles, and I promptly linked the reference and a timestamp and all. However, when I went to the Korean and Chinese directs, the subtitles were absent. The only subtitles that appeared were when Doug Bowser and the Japanese president of Nintendo (I don't know their name sorry) spoke, and you could tell it was that because there were commas lining up with their sentences, so it's not just a timing error. And I'm not just missing the subtitles, no- if you go to the videos ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=OvExbuJApP8&embeds_referring_euri=http%3A%2F%2Fyepan.net%2F&feature=emb_imp_woyt| Korean version], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbUfhwkW4a4| Chinese version]), there is a long pause where the subtitles should be in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck-xovsqTUc| Japanese Version].
