King Bowser Koopa (Japanese:クッパ), a fictional turtle character from Nintendo video games, is Mario and Luigi's archnemesis (although he has joined forces with them in a few games). He constantly kidnaps Princess Peach Toadstool and has repeatedly attempted to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom since his first appearance in Super Mario Bros.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and Super Mario All-Stars, his seven children helped him in his unsuccessful conquest.

It is arguable whether Mario and Bowser first encountered each other when they were babies in Super Mario World 2, or from old manuals that they actually first encountered each other when Bowser took Princess Toadstool captive in Super Mario Bros. However, it is generally held that Baby MarioBaby Mario is a character in Nintendo's Mario series, similar to Baby Luigi. He is Mario as an infant, although he has appeared in Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and other Nintendo sports titles alongside his "older self". It is gene and adult Mario are the same person, and more recent Nintendo manuals agree with this conclusion.

In Super Mario RPG Bowser teams up with Mario, Peach, and their two new friends MallowMallow is a plant species in the genus Malva or in one of several related genera of the Malvaceae, including Lavatera ( tree mallow/ rose mallow), Althaea ( marsh mallow), Sidalcea ( Greek mallow), Callirhoe ( poppy mallow), and Abelmoschus ( okra).

In Super Mario 64Super Mario 64 was one of the first video games released for the Nintendo 64 and was the console's flagship killer application. It debuted in Japan on June 23, 1996 and in the U. on September 29, 1996. As the first 3D game in the Mario franchise, Super Ma, he steals Peach's castle. In Paper MarioPaper Mario (or Mario Story in Japan) is the last major Mario game for Nintendo 64. It is the spiritual successor to Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo. It had a unique graphical style in which the characters are flat, 2D-looking paper cut outs in a t he steals Peach's castle again with the Star Rod. In he tries to kidnap Peach but somebody else has gotten there first and so ends up in a complicated adventure to help Mario get her back so he can kidnap her. In Super Mario Sunshine, it is revealed Bowser has a son named Bowser Jr. According to Nintendo materials, this is the same "Baby Bowser" who in Yoshi's Story converts Yoshi's Island into a storybook. In , Bowser is enraged when he discovers that someone other than himself has captured Princess Peach and sets out on a mission of his own to find her, only to be beaten by the punch at every turn.

Bowser also appears in secondary Mario Games like Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Tetris Attack, Mario Kart: Super Circuit , , Mario Power Tennis and Super Smash Bros. Melee. In these games he is not the villain, but rather a selectable character that the player can chose to play as. A giant Bowser also cameos in the SNES port of the original Sim City when a monster disaster strikes.

Bowser has been known by different names over the years, which have since amalgamated into his current title. In Japan, he has always been known as simply Koopa. When Super Mario Bros. came out in the US, he was given the more American name of Bowser, King of the Koopas. Confusingly, the American cartoons, such as The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, and the Super Mario Bros. movie consistently referred to Bowser as "King Koopa", never Bowser. Somewhere along the line the two names merged, and he is now known in America as being Bowser Koopa, with "Koopa" as his, and his children's, last name.
