Bowser |4

Bowser is a huge and powerful Koopa. His shell is also much larger than that of normal Koopas and is riddled with sharp spikes. His skin, covered in scales, is green on his face and yellow on the rest of his body. In addition, he has many spiked bracelets on both the beginning of his arms and on his wrists and a large jaw. His hair and eyebrows are red. He also has two horns on his head and large claws on his hands and paws.

Bowser is a strong, tough, and heavy villain. He possesses incredible strength, which he knows how to exploit. Bowser's signature attack is the Bowser Bomb, which consists of Bowser jumping very high and then quickly falling hard to the ground, destroying blocks and causing the ground to shake. He can also crawl into his shell to protect himself from enemy attacks and roll around inside it at high speed.

Bowser also has the ability to breathe fire, which is his primary form of attack. Using either Kamek's magic or that of the Koopalings, he can grow incredibly large, although he has occasionally been able to do this without assistance. His maximum size is reached in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where he manages to grow larger than Peach's Castle, a size very similar to the one he achieves when he becomes giant in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Bowser can also use the Super Bell to transform into Meowser, who has the ability to climb and scale walls with ease. He can also use Duplicer to create copies of himself. In Bowser's Fury mode, the black paint from his son's magic paintbrush transformed him into Furious Bowser, a much larger, angrier, and more dangerous version of Bowser.

Bowser is generally depicted as a cruel and ruthless villain. One of his greatest qualities is his insatiable thirst for power and conquest. Despite everything, in several games we see a more human side of Bowser, treating his troops kindly, and although he always tries to hide it under a bestial and destructive personality, he feels very grateful and proud of the loyalty and effort of his henchmen. On some occasions he has even spoken cordially of his enemies: That mustachioed plumber? I hate him with fury, but I would have to thank him for some things. He also shows a lot of affection for his son Bowser Jr., where it is seen that Bowser cares a lot about him, even becoming somewhat overprotective. In fact, one of the reasons why Bowser wants to marry Peach is so that Bowser Jr. has a mother figure. It is also known that despite being very powerful, Bowser is somewhat clumsy and awkward, and is not very intelligent. This is reflected in Mario RPG games, such as the Mario & Luigi series or the Paper Mario series, where he is the protagonist of many comical situations and often allies himself with villains who later betray him. He also believes in horoscopes, according to a dialogue in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

Bowser reappears as the main villain in Mario's new adventure in Super Mario Bros. 3, after having been absent in Super Mario Bros. 2. For the first time, Bowser had the colors he had in the illustrations, which remain to this day. This time, Bowser, along with the Koopalings, steals the wands of the kings of each of the worlds, so Princess Peach asks Mario to retrieve them. However, when Mario recovers the seventh wand, he receives a letter from Bowser in which the villain reveals that he has kidnapped Peach.

Mario goes to Bowser's castle and fights him on a bridge made of blocks. In the battle, Bowser starts jumping and falling hard against the ground to...

A Koopa king who loves his son. He is somewhat of a narcissist, but genuinely cares for his family and kingdom. As the King of the Koopas and the leader of the Koopalings, Bowser is responsible for the well-being of his people and kingdom. In some games, the Koopas have issues with his rule and revolt against him, but overall Bowser is a well-liked and respected king by his people. He also cares for Bowser Jr. Bowser is kind, generous, protective, jealous, spoils him a lot, and is possessive.

Bowser loves his son very much, often being overly protective and worrying about him. Likewise, Bowser Jr. loves and appreciates his father very much, leading him to continue aiding him in his plans even after Bowser tricked him in Super Mario Sunshine. The identity of Bowser Jr.'s mother is unknown. In an interview, Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the Mario franchise, was asked who Bowser Jr.'s mother was, to which he jokingly replied that he was his mother, having created him.

In fact, one of the reasons Bowser wants to marry Peach is so that Bowser Jr. has a mother figure.

The identity of Bowser Jr.'s mother is unknown.

Bowser Jr. closely resembles Baby Bowser. He is short, has yellow skin, a green face, and a flesh-colored snout. His horns have not yet fully grown like his father's. He has red hair, which he ties back into a ponytail. His shell is also smaller than Bowser's, has fewer spikes, and they are less sharp. Bowser Jr. has only grown one tooth, which is why he always wears a white scarf tied around his neck with a mouth with sharp teeth drawn on it, because he wants to have an intimidating appearance with sharp teeth like his father in order to intimidate his opponents. He wears two black bracelets on his arms, but they do not have spikes like his father's.

Bowser Jr. is an energetic and prankster-like child who has a hard time sitting still. He also seems to have inherited his father's short temper and lack of patience, as he gets angry easily. His favorite pastimes are playing pranks on people, laughing at them, and doing all kinds of mischief such as stealing food or painting graffiti. Bowser Jr. is also a liar, as he often lies about how strong he is and the number of opponents he has defeated. Despite this, Bowser Jr. never cheats in battles, as he wants to beat his opponents fairly and on equal terms, thus showing people how strong he is. Despite this, he is very bad at losing, and almost always throws a tantrum when he loses, saying that his opponent cheated or that he got lucky. Despite his childish attitude, Bowser Jr. is very intelligent, being described by some media as being smarter than Bowser. He also shows a lot of interest in robots and machines and really likes to fight on them and pilot them, as is the case with his Helikoopa Jr (Koopayaso Jr. Capsule in Latin America), a ship that he pilots in numerous games.

King is the title given to a male monarch in various contexts. A king is an absolute monarch if he holds the powers of government.

Bowser has repeatedly kidnapped Peach and invaded her kingdom several times, both out of a megalomaniacal desire to rule the world and because he is romantically interested in her. In certain attempts, Bowser may even try to force a marriage between them. The reasoning may vary depending on the game. Although Bowser is interested in Peach, in the canon, Princess Peach does not reciprocate his feelings. While she and Mario allow Bowser to participate in sports and board games, media such as Super Mario RPG portray her as frightened of him. However, she has been shown to be kind to Koopa.
