Bowser |5

Appearance

Bowser is a huge and powerful Koopa. His shell is also much larger than that of normal Koopas and is covered in sharp spikes. His scaly skin is green on his face and yellow on the rest of his body. In addition, he has many spiked bracelets on both his upper arms and 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 feet.

Personality

Bowser is generally portrayed as a cruel and ruthless villain. One of his greatest qualities is his insatiable thirst for power and conquest. Despite all this, a more human side of Bowser can be seen in several games, treating his troops with kindness. Although he always tries to hide it under a brutal and destructive personality, he is very grateful and proud of the loyalty and efforts of his henchmen. On some occasions, he has even spoken cordially about his enemies: That mustachioed plumber? I hate him with a vengeance, but I have to thank him for some things. He also shows great affection for his son Bowser Jr., where it is clear that Bowser cares a lot for him, even becoming somewhat overprotective. In fact, one of the reasons Bowser wants to marry Peach is so that Bowser Jr. has a maternal figure. It's also known that despite being very powerful, Bowser is somewhat clumsy and awkward, and 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 line 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's original colors were used 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 retrieves 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 heavily on the ground to...

Skills

Bowser is a strong, resilient, and lumbering villain. He possesses incredible strength, which he uses to its full potential. One of Bowser's signature attacks is the Bowser Bomb, which involves Bowser jumping very high and then quickly crashing down to the ground, destroying blocks and causing the ground to shake. He can also retreat 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 Kamek's magic or that of the Koopalings, he can become 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 become 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 Duplicate Cherries 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.

Personal life

In fact, one of the reasons Bowser wants to marry Peach is so that Bowser Jr. has a maternal figure. It's also known that despite being very powerful, Bowser is somewhat clumsy and awkward, but also intelligent and noble. A Koopa King who loves his son. He is somewhat narcissistic, but genuinely cares for his family and kingdom. As the King of the Koopas and 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 beloved and respected king. He also cares for Bowser Jr. Bowser is kind, generous, protective, jealous, overly doting, and possessive. Bowser loves his son dearly, often being overprotective and caring for him. Similarly, Bowser Jr. loves and appreciates his father, leading him to continue aiding him in his schemes, even after Bowser tricked him in Super Mario Sunshine. The identity of Bowser Jr.'s mother is unknown, but it is known that Bowser was left a single father. In an interview, Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the Mario franchise, was asked who Bowser Jr.'s mother was, to which he jokingly responded by saying that he was his mother, having created him.

Bowser Jr.

Bowser Jr. looks very much like Baby Bowser. He is short, has yellow skin, a green face, and a flesh-colored snout. His horns haven't fully grown like his father's yet. He has red hair, which he ties in a ponytail. His shell is also smaller than Bowser's, has fewer spikes, and those spikes are less sharp. Bowser Jr. only has one tooth, which is why he always wears a white handkerchief around his neck with a mouth with sharp teeth drawn on it, because he wants to have an intimidating appearance and sharp teeth like his father to intimidate his opponents. He wears two black bracelets on his arms, but they don't have spikes like his father's. Bowser Jr. is an energetic and mischievous child who has trouble staying still. He also seems to have inherited his father's bad temper and impatience, as he gets angry easily. His favorite pastime is playing pranks on people, laughing at them, and doing all sorts of mischief like stealing food or painting graffiti. Bowser Jr. is also a liar, often exaggerating his strength and the number of opponents he has defeated. Despite this, Bowser Jr. never cheats in battles, as he wants to defeat his opponents fairly and on equal terms to prove his strength. However, he is a sore loser and almost always throws a tantrum when he loses, making excuses that his opponent cheated or got lucky. Despite his childish attitude, Bowser Jr. is very intelligent, described by some media outlets as smarter than Bowser. He also shows considerable interest in robots and machines and enjoys fighting on and piloting them, as is the case with his Helikoopa Jr. (Koopayaso Jr. Capsule in Latin America), a vehicle he pilots in numerous games.

Kingdom

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 without control, or all sovereignty over a nation; he is a limited monarch if his power is restricted by fixed laws; and he is absolute when he holds all legislative, judicial, and executive power, or when legislative or judicial powers, or both, are conferred on other persons by the king. Kings are hereditary sovereigns when they hold the powers of government by right of birth or inheritance, and elective when they are elevated to the throne by election. Their female equivalent is queen. Koopa Kingdom: Bowser's Castle: The castle's central hub, where the affairs of the Kingdom are handled; Bowser and Bowser Jr. reside here, along with Kamek. Koopa City: A brightly lit city in the rain. A large percentage of the course consists of winding roads with moving neon handrails. There is a small ascending spiral section in the middle of the track that climbs to a tower. Traction is reduced due to the rain. There is a tunnel near the end of the course, which leads to a road covered in puddles. Huesitos Dunes. Currently, this kingdom is an enemy of the Mushroom Kingdom because it constantly tries to conquer it, but the monarch and his army are defeated by the Mario and Luigi brothers most of the time. The kingdom is strongly defended by military protection with Flying Ships and Tanks to detect any invaders.

Kamek

Kamek is an old but powerful Magikoopa, Bowser's advisor. He cared for Bowser as a baby until he grew up, and Kamek became his second-in-command and father figure; he heals Bowser's wounds.

Peach

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.
