'''Bowser''' is a giant [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] (read: turtle) that is found in [[Mario]] games, in which he is known to [[Fat Mario]] as "BOWSUH". He has an obsession with ruining picnics and [[Gay Luigi]]. He was featured on [[Youchew Trading Cards|Youchew Trading Card]] #5 with the following description:

==Aftermath==

"With a creepy laugh, the ability to appear out of bushes without ever getting caught, and a color palette that looks like he crawled out of a vat of pea soup, Bowzuh runs a chain of [[Koopalings|Koopaling]]-owned hotels despite not knowing how to spell.....or talk.....or how to count to eight so that his son Larry could have a hotel of his own too. As a result of using these hotels as a ploy to capture the princess, they seem to get condemned and uncondemned rather frequently, often by a [[Fat Mario|peskey]] [[Gay Luigi|plumber]]. He also owns a patent for [[Toast|Sourpuss Bread]] for some reason, but it's actually quite renowned for its [[Toast|toast]] making possibilities."

*He can only laugh.
 +
*When asked why he ruins picnics, he just laughed and scratched his crotch, hinting that he has crabs.
 +
*For some reason, he finds it hilarious whenever [[Fat Mario]] and [[Gay Luigi]] walk under a [[Sausage|hotdog]]-shaped archway.
 +
*Bowser has the ability to mysteriously change size from game to game. He can be as small as Mario, as large as a whale, or become anywhere like that in between.
 +
*He once pissed on a painting of [[Mario]] that was hanging in the Louvre.
 +
*According to [[Malleo]], Bowser apparently has [[gay]] [[sex]] with [[Link]] in his spare time.
 +
*Despite that he is a villain in most [[Mario]] games, he has appeared as an Anti-Hero in a few games, such as Super [[Mario]] RPG, Super Paper [[Mario]], and [[Mario]] & [[Luigi]]: Bowser's Inside Story.
 +
*According to [[Dr. Mario]], he has [[AIDS|HPV]].
 +
*One time, he jumped out of the Nintendo 3DS and burned off [[Nintendo|Reggie Fils-Aime]]'s [[face]].
 +
*He has a form called Dark Bowser, which was the result of the Dark Star copying his DNA and transforming into an eviler version of him.
 +
*In the SSB series, he has a form called Giga Bowser. This is caused by him eating to many burritos and getting ridiculous gas. Where the electricity comes from is still unknown.
 +
*Bowser appears in the 2012 Disney film "Wreck-It Ralph"
 +
*In 2009, he suffered serious facial injuries after his castle tipped-over on to his [[face]]. This was after [[:Category:Koopalings|his kids]] flipped him on to his stomach after suffering yet another defeat from the [[Mario]] [[Luigi|Brothers]] and 2 [[Toad]]s.
 +
*Cries as [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] taunt him after returning everything that he stole from the past.
 +
*Likes chugging bottles of [[Booze|champaigne]] after a victory in Mario Kart.
 +
*Makes [[Waluigi]] draw [[hentai|nude drawings]] of him, just like his [[French]] girls.
 +
*Has his own day, August 4th (8/4).

In 2006, Bowser was killed when Mario sent him falling in to the [[fire]]y [[The Pit|pit]] of lava, which somehow killed him then, even though it didn't kill him in [[1985]]. His bare skeleton was resurrected by [[Bowser Jr.]], turning him in to [[Dry Bones|Dry Bowser]]. Eventually, he was resurrected in full, and still lives to this day.

Your face will burn, Reggie!

Bowser is a giant Koopa (read: turtle) that is found in Mario games, in which he is known to Fat Mario as "BOWSUH". He has an obsession with ruining picnics and Gay Luigi. He was featured on Youchew Trading Card #5 with the following description:

"With a creepy laugh, the ability to appear out of bushes without ever getting caught, and a color palette that looks like he crawled out of a vat of pea soup, Bowzuh runs a chain of Koopaling-owned hotels despite not knowing how to spell.....or talk.....or how to count to eight so that his son Larry could have a hotel of his own too. As a result of using these hotels as a ploy to capture the princess, they seem to get condemned and uncondemned rather frequently, often by a peskey plumber. He also owns a patent for Sourpuss Bread for some reason, but it's actually quite renowned for its toast making possibilities."

Trivia[edit]

  • Translators state that Bowser's a Gidrovlicheskiy engineer with Shui Shui difficulties. This has yet to be confirmed.
  • He can only laugh.
  • When asked why he ruins picnics, he just laughed and scratched his crotch, hinting that he has crabs.
  • For some reason, he finds it hilarious whenever Fat Mario and Gay Luigi walk under a hotdog-shaped archway.
  • Bowser has the ability to mysteriously change size from game to game. He can be as small as Mario, as large as a whale, or become anywhere like that in between.
  • He once pissed on a painting of Mario that was hanging in the Louvre.
  • According to Malleo, Bowser apparently has gay sex with Link in his spare time.
  • Despite that he is a villain in most Mario games, he has appeared as an Anti-Hero in a few games, such as Super Mario RPG, Super Paper Mario, and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
  • According to Dr. Mario, he has HPV.
  • One time, he jumped out of the Nintendo 3DS and burned off Reggie Fils-Aime's face.
  • He has a form called Dark Bowser, which was the result of the Dark Star copying his DNA and transforming into an eviler version of him.
  • In the SSB series, he has a form called Giga Bowser. This is caused by him eating to many burritos and getting ridiculous gas. Where the electricity comes from is still unknown.
  • Bowser appears in the 2012 Disney film "Wreck-It Ralph"
  • In 2009, he suffered serious facial injuries after his castle tipped-over on to his face. This was after his kids flipped him on to his stomach after suffering yet another defeat from the Mario Brothers and 2 Toads.
  • Cries as Mario and Yoshi taunt him after returning everything that he stole from the past.
  • Likes chugging bottles of champaigne after a victory in Mario Kart.
  • Makes Waluigi draw nude drawings of him, just like his French girls.
  • Has his own day, August 4th (8/4).

Death[edit]

In 2006, Bowser was killed when Mario sent him falling in to the firey pit of lava, which somehow killed him then, even though it didn't kill him in 1985. His bare skeleton was resurrected by Bowser Jr., turning him in to Dry Bowser. Eventually, he was resurrected in full, and still lives to this day.
