Character Sheet: Bowser (Revision)

 BOWSER

This will largely be our last run of revisions, for the Mario series at least. Now that the RPGs are over, pretty much every game left is either something we've already covered for the most part (Remakes, etc.), or run on a core game mechanic not unique to any one character (the Sports games). So, once these are done, I will do character sheets for new characters added and just a general sum up for everyone else. With all that said, let's get into it:

1. Mario 
2. Luigi 
3. Professor E. Gadd 
4. Princess Peach 
5. Toad 
6. Toadette 
7. Bowser 
8. Dry Bowser 
9. Bowser Jr. 
10. Koopalings 
11. Koopa Troopa 
12. Dry Bones 
13. Goomba 
14. Piranha Plant 
15. Boo 
16. Cheep Cheep 
17. Blooper 
18. Bob-Omb 
19. Lakitu 
20. Monty Mole 
21. Spike 
22. Hammer Bro 
23. Chargin' Chuck 
24. Wiggler 
25. Chain Chomp 
26. Birdo 
27. Petey Piranha 
28. King Boo 
29. Paper Mario
30. Yoshi 
31. Baby Mario 
32. Baby Bowser 
33. Kamek 
34. Shy Guy

Today, let's cover Bowser, who had a pretty sizeable role in pretty much every game here, acting as a secondary antagonist, ally, and even playable protagonist in Bowser's Inside Story. You fight him several times across the games, not least because the Mario & Luigi games felt the need to end on a Bowser battle whether or not he was the main villain of the game.

A lot of it is pretty basic Bowser stuff, like breathing fire, stomping, throwing hammers, spinning in his shell, causing shockwaves, punching, body slamming, charging, grabbing, throwing bombs, and flying around in his Koopa Klown Kar, but several other things are more specific to each game. In Origami King, he spends most of the game folded up into a square, but he still helps where he can. In his Bowser's Inside Story moveset, he can suck things in, roll around as a spike ball, and use his minions for various attacks. His final battle in each is a sort of super form, with Cackletta and Princess Shroob possessing him in the first two, the Dark Star mimicking him in the third, gaining a Dreamy Form in Dream Team, and wearing his paper counterpart as a suit of armor in Paper Jam.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Fire Breath

Can't do without it.

Side B: Boulder

Although rolling around in a ball like he did in Inside Story would be pretty cool.

Up B: Shell Spin

Down B: Slam Down
Standard shockwave thing. Still should have a shifter to Dry Bowser though for consistency.

Final Smash: Giant Bowser

Maybe we can shake it up and have some of these other giant forms show up now and then.

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 cover Dry Bowser real quick!
