Shortly after a rock has disappeared from the screen or is destroyed from Wario ground pounding, a Bowler summons a new one.

However, Bowlers are immune to most of Wario's attacks and only stop for a short moment when he touches them. Bowler can be defeated from a ground pound only. Bowlers are encountered in the Fiery Cavern only, where activating the switch changes the temperature radically, changing every Bowler into a Yeti.
