King Bowser Koopa is the unquestioned ruler of the Koopa troop, and arch-enemy of Mario. Bowser's lifelong goal has been to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, and he almost always attempts to do so by capturing Princess Peach, who he doesn't destroy due to the fact that he's developed a huge crush on her. Ultimately, he aims to take control of the Mushroom Kingdom through marriage with the Princess, thus becoming the king. Once she is taken out of power, he wreaks havoc across the kingdom, only to eventually be thwarted by Mario and his friends. He also has eight children, seven of which called Koopalings, with the most famous of his children being Bowser Jr., who appears as a playable character in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. In the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Bowser teams up with his partner in crime, Dr. Eggman, to stop the Winter Olympics, but they did not succeed. Bowser and Eggman both join forces once again in Mario & Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games to stop the London Games.

He trophicates Zelda or Peach and creates a Shadow Bug Copy of her which Mario and Pit or Link and Yoshi fight. He and the Koopa Troop invade King Dedede's castle and destroys it trophicating him leaving Ness, Luigi, Zelda/Peach and Dedede under the rubble. Bowser finds Zelda or Peach and kidnaps her. Mario, attempting to free Zelda/Peach, jumps high in a punching stance to attack Bowser. Bowser uses Zelda/Peach as shield. When Mario see her he stops his punch for fear of hurting Zelda/Peach. Bowser then escapes with the Princess in his pod. He soon corners Fox and Diddy Kong once more and trophicated Diddy Kong and created a false Diddy Kong via Shadow Bugs. He next aimed for Fox only to have his Dark Cannon destroyed by Falco. Fox revived Diddy Kong while Bowser escaped, they then fought the giant false Diddy Kong. He later shows up with Ganondorf on the Subspace Gunship, although it is quickly destroyed by the combined efforts of the heroes. He and Ganondorf retreat to the Subspace, where Ganondorf turns on Bowser, and uses the Dark Cannon to turn him into a trophy.
