The Bowser Clone is an enemy that can be made by Belome in his temple in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. This clone has a chance of being created if Bowser is in battle, and up to two clones can be active. In the original game, if Belome is defeated first, any remaining clones still have to be defeated, whereas in the remake, any remaining clones are defeated instantly. As revealed by his thought, the Bowser Clone also thinks about his keep.

「吾輩 」「無敵 のクッパ軍団 」「賀破々 」など発言 に漢字 が多 いため、にせものであることがすぐにわかる。
(Translation: The many kanji in his statements, such as "I," "the invincible Bowser's Minions," and "mwa-ha-ha," make it easy to tell that he is a fake.)

Trivia
- According to the Monster List entry, the Bowser Clone has a way of speaking that is unlike the real Bowser, although this is not clear in the original game due to his short thought. In Japanese, his speech is written in kanji where the real Bowser's would usually be in katakana; in Chinese and Korean, his tone is different, with the latter noting more authority; in English, Spanish, French, and German, he rolls his Rs; in English and Italian, he is noted to sound fancy; and in Dutch, he speaks with a soft G. Additionally, in Japanese, the real Bowser's thought was modified to look less like the clone, as he uses kanji in the unused original and katakana in the remake. This might indicate that the Bowser Clone's use of kanji is a development gag.
