​@@kirbo4252 Now that we think about it, it'll have been almost 20 years since the last Peach game, Super Princess Peach, released on the DS when Princess Peach: Showtime releases. However, Bowser has gotten no games where he's the protagonist... Most of the major Mario characters that aren't Mario have their own games & series of games where they're the protagonist -- with Luigi getting Luigi's Mansion, Toad getting Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Yoshi (of course), Wario getting WarioWare, and several other characters getting their own games. I can see that the odds of Bowser possibly getting a game of his own are very, very low, but not zero. I wonder if Nintendo's planning to make one some day...

Watching this makes me realize why all of bowsers castles are built so strangely. It’s not a flawed security system, bowser just lives like that and doesn’t realize it’s dangerous. It’s like when you put the peanut butter on the top shelf and don’t realize it’s a problem until your short girlfriend can’t reach it

[@iantaakalla8180]

Honestly, it is pretty funny that given his fashion aesthetic, his preference for overtly dangerous castles, the Koopalings’ names and the Reznors, the fact that outside of Peach kidnapping and kingdom conquering he is otherwise decent, and plenty of times where he wishes to look cool that Bowser is an edgy Koopa who revels in the classic metal aesthetic.

[@aminatasylla3786]

That’s true.

But it also has additional properties like counting as “fire” to light torches and as some sort of destructive/explosive projectile when it comes to bosses and destructibles.

[@doomse150]

But for some reason the fireball also collects moons, which the hat can't do, so it seems more like an extension of the character itself than the hat, just with a killaura and fire properties.

The lore I imagined is that Mario is off on a vacation, meaning a clone who copies Bowser can steal the princess.

[@Squid_of_gaiming]

Fir shoot a FIREball “wow it can set stuff on fire”

[@samiamrg7]

It is incredible that Bowser’s attacks, especially the fireballs, have all the properties required to damage and destroy so many things they would never touch in normal gameplay. (Or perhaps it is the opposite: that so many objects and bosses are actually damaged/destoyed by such a wide bariety of things). So, like, this implies that just about anything that explodes or can destroy rocks can be used to damage the Broodal mech or Mecha Wiggler.

[@samiamrg7]

I mean, I suppose it makes some sense that things like that are handled on some kind of engine-wide system rather than being individually programmed. It just that a lot of games do seem to operate that way where specific items/objects are programmed to respond to only specific triggers.

[@gabethegamer5957]
