Character Sheet: Bowser (Side Character Spinoffs)

BOWSER

Today, we begin our next round of character sheets, with updates for every major character who appeared in the Luigi's Mansion series, Super Princess Peach, or Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Most of these should be fairly simple, with only four newcomers to speak of. They are:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Princess Peach
4. Toad
4e. Toadette
5. Bowser
6. Koopa Troopa
6e. Dry Bones
7. Goomba
8. Piranha Plant
9. Boo
10. Blooper
11. Lakitu
12. Hammer Bro
13. Chargin' Chuck
14. Wiggler
15. Chain Chomp
16. Petey Piranha
17. King Boo
18. Kamek
19. Shy Guy
20. Vacuum Luigi (New)
20e. Professor E. Gadd (New)
21. Perry (New)
22. Ghost (New)

Today, let's cover Bowser. Bowser appeared exactly twice in this run of games, first as the main boss of Super Princess Peach, and second, as an . . . add-on to King Boo's boss battle. Basically, King Boo drove a giant Bowser body whose head could come off. I don't know if this was a giant puppet-thing King Boo created, or if Bowser died and King Boo was possessing his body or what, but I'd rather not think about that. Both of his battles featured basic Bowser stuff like stomping, charging, breathing fire, throwing spiky boulders at his enemies, and becoming a giant, but also included newer or lesser-seen stuff like ice breath, throwing hammers, and of course the mystical Vibe Sceptre and the ability of his severed head to float around without its body. Probably not much change to his moveset for right now.

Here's his moveset so far:

Standard B: Fire Breath

Side B: Boulders

Up B: Shell Spin

Down B: Slam Down

Final Smash: Giant Bowser

Entrance: Bowser will land in his Koopa Klown Kar.

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 quickly cover the Koopa Troopas!
