Tattles:
It's the Evil King Bowser!
- Round 1: Finally, after all this time! He has a huge arsenal of attacks, from blowing clouds of fire to jumping on us. Fire Attack: 8, Stamp Attack/Nail Attack: 6 I'm sure he has other attacks that I don't know. Boy, does he look nasty! He's strong enough as it is, but I'm sure he can use that Star Rod to increase his power until he's nearly invincible. Princess Peach needs us! Let's take him, Mario!
- Round 2: Uh... I think he got bigger. That's not a good sign... He has a huge arsenal of attacks, from blowing clouds of fire to jumping on us. Fire Attack: 10, Stamp Attack/Nail Attack: 8 I'm sure he has other attacks that I don't know. Kammy Koopa's mysterious device has somehow beefed up his power even more. That's hardly fair! You should use that Star Beam whenever he uses the Star Rod to increase his power. Oh, you already knew that?
- Round 3: No more messing around! He has a huge arsenal of attacks, from blowing clouds of fire to jumping on us. Fire Attack: 10, Stamp Attack/Nail Attack: 8 I'm sure he has other attacks that I don't know. When he increases his power with the Star Rod, our attacks will be totally useless. When that happens, you must use our ultimate weapon, the Peach Beam! It has the power of everyone's wishes! This is our time, Mario! Let's take this chump! We're coming, Princess!
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Stats and Tattle Information
- Glitz Pit Stats:
- HP: 30
- Attack: 3
- Defense: 1
- Tattle Number: 41
- Tattle Log: Mario's fated enemy. Bowser, the Koopa King is a foe to be feared. His typical turf is NOT Glitzville.
- Tattle: That's Bowser! But what's he doing here?!? My mind just blew a fuse! He's uglier than I expected. He's got a poisonous bite, so watch out! It'll make your HP decrease gradually. Also, if he ground-pounds you, you won't be able to use one of your commands! Just focus your attention on beating him down, Mario!
- Palace of Shadow Stats:
- HP: 70
- Attack: 7
- Defense: 2
- Tattle Log: Mario's sworn enemy. He's a big galoot who has come to swipe Princess Peach and the Crystal Stars.
- Tattle: That's Bowser, genius. You've only fought this guy like, a bazillion times. He'll keep kidnapping Peach, and you'll keep fighting him, until the end of time, I think. In addition to his fire breath, he jumps on you and bites. If you get jumped on, you'll be unable to use a command for a little while. Oh, and his bite sometimes poisons you as well. I don't know what Bowser's doing here, but we gotta defeat him quick!
Super Smash Bros. Melee trophies
Regular Trophy
Description: Bowser has a long history of kidnapping Princess Peach to lure his nemesis, Mario, into traps. He leads an enormous group of mischievous creatures, not the least of which are his seven children. With outrageous strength, flammable breath, and more spikes than you can shake a Star Rod at, Bowser is a constant threat.
Unlock: Beat Classic Mode as Bowser.
Smash-1 Trophy
Description: In many ways, Bowser is the toughest character around. Not only does he have near-impervious hide, but his great mass makes him almost impossible to hurl offscreen. Of course, his weight also makes him rather slow to maneuver, so when facing him in battle, it's best to press your attack and not give him a chance to counter.
Unlock: Beat Adventure Mode as Bowser.
Smash-2 Trophy
Description: Bowser's Fire Breath strikes continually, but it grows gradually smaller over time until it's barely smoldering. The Koopa Klaw rakes enemies at a distance and pulls nearby foes in close for a good gnawing. Bowser's Whirling Fortress moves laterally over the ground; it works in midair as a recovery. The Bowser Bomb is powerful and paves the way for more attacks.
Unlock: Beat All-Star Mode as Bowser.
Koopa Family
Bowser has had eight "children" under his wing in the Mario series.
- Ludwig Von Koopa
- Lemmy Koopa
- Roy Koopa
- Iggy Koopa
- Wendy O. Koopa
- Morton Koopa Jr.
- Larry Koopa
- Bowser Jr.
The original seven Koopalings seem to have been phased out for Bowser Jr., but they have made a reappearance as bosses in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and they were also going to appear in Super Princess Peach, but were left out for unknown reasons.Template:Fact
According to Nintendo Power in the United Kingdom, Bowser's wife's name is Clawdia Koopa. However, since she has not appeared in any medium whatsoever related to Mario, she may have just been a joke written by the editors.Template:Fact
Portrayals
He is voiced/portrayed by:
- Harvey Atkin in the cartoons.
- Scott Burns in most of the video games.
- Dennis Hopper in the Super Mario Bros. movie.
