Character Sheet: Bowser (Yoshi Main Series)

BOWSER

Today, let's get started on the Mario spinoff series/prequel and all the characters that appeared there. As before with the Donkey Kong series, this will result in a split roster, but for now, let's just cover them all together.

1. Yoshi (Revision)
2. Bowser (Revision)
3. Kamek (Revision)
4. Koopa Troopa (Revision)
5. Shy Guy (Revision)
6. Goomba (Revision)
7. Piranha Plant (Revision)
8. Boo (Revision)
9. Blooper (Revision)
10. Lakitu and Spinies (Revision)
11. Monty Mole (Revision)
12. Yarn Yoshi
13. Baby Mario
14. Baby Bowser
15. Bandit
16. Ukiki
17. Chain Chomp

I think we can get this one done pretty quick. Bowser (as an adult. Baby Bowser will be his own thing) appears in Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi's New Island as the final boss. One has a very good reason for his appearance, with it being heavily tied to the game's plot, and the other . . . is Yoshi's New Island. Bowser's movesets in these battles are pretty basic overall, mostly a whole lot of stomping, breathing fire, dropping rocks, and becoming a giant courtesy of Kamek. He can also warp through space and time at will for no discernible reason, but I'm not entirely certain how that might apply to gameplay. Maybe a new entrance.

Let's see what we've got:

Standard B: Fire Breath

Side B: Boulders
Still works.

Up B: Shell Spin
I suppose.

Down B: Slam Down
Quite appropriate.

Final Smash: Giant Bowser
Yeah, pretty much.

Entrance: Bowser will land in his Koopa Klown Kar. Or he might warp through time and space. You never know.

Taunts: His evil laugh from Super Mario 64, many of his taunts from Odyssey and other games, holding up a captive something or other, the list goes on.

Next up: Let's cover one of the two big bads of this franchise, Kamek!
