While not a usable item in ''[[Mario Party]]'', the single player is dressed in a Bowser Suit in the 1-vs.-3 [[minigame]]s [[Bash 'n' Cash]] and [[Tug o' War]]. In the former, the player in the Bowser Suit must avoid the other players' [[hammer]] strikes, while in the latter, it grants the player increased strength in the tug o' war match.

The Bowser Suit becomes a usable item in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. It is somewhat rare, as it can only be won in Item Minigames and is not available in [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shops]]. When used, the player will don a Bowser Suit in a flash of light and, for that turn only, may steal 20 [[Coin]]s from any player they pass, due to other players mistaking them for Bowser. If the player passes [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]] during their turn, he will give them all the Coins he has collected from players throughout the current game, again mistaking them for Bowser. Other characters on the board sometimes have reactions to the Bowser Suit, but it does not affect their gameplay functions. The solo player also wears the Bowser Suit in the 1-vs.-3 minigame [[Quicksand Cache]].

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', the Bowser Suit reappears as a usable item with the same effects as in the previous game. It can now be purchased for 10 Coins from Baby Bowser at Item Shops, in addition to appearing in Item Minigames. Additionally, players can occasionally receive a Bowser Suit from Bowser himself after landing on a [[Bowser Space]] during the Bowser Suit Giveaway event.

===''Mario Party 4''===
In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', the Bowser Suit is once again a usable item. It is now very rare, as it can only be obtained during the Bowser Suit event on a Bowser Space, which has been made much more uncommon. The item's appearance has changed, now resembling a Bowser-like [[Mushroom]] instead of a mask-like object resembling Bowser's face as in previous games. The item now transforms into the suit which falls onto the player, and its effects are slightly different: the player now body-slams any opponents they pass to steal 30 Coins each from them, and additionally no longer visits most board events. This brings the item's effects more in line with the [[Mega Mushroom]] also introduced in ''Mario Party 4''. It also has two board-specific effects: on [[Koopa's Seaside Soiree]], the player can choose a direction manually at [[Ukiki]]'s [[Banana Peel]] Junction, as the game states that "Bowser doesn't slip on banana peels". Additionally, if the player passes Bowser on [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]], he will note that the player looks just like him and gives them 50 Coins. CPU players never use Bowser Suits after obtaining them.
The Bowser Suit is an item in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. It now looks like a [[Mushroom]] in Bowser's likeness, though it becomes a suit that applies on to the player.
