[@trolololwin4358]

[@stormchaser-necosun1329]

What a Crossover of Bowser and Link would sounds like🤔

[@agsilverradio2225]

In my opinion, Bowser is a complex character, if you look at all his actions analytically. ... He's a relatively good father. (save for draging his kids into his war.) ... Against his enemys, he's more audacious, than he is smart. (though he has some pretty creative looking bases, but he probably outsourced those designs.) ... Though he plays at being a "big-bad-iron-fisted-tyrannical-overlord," it's unclear if he actually treats his people like that, or if that's just an image he keeps, and he's secretly very soft-hearted and benevolent, (towards his allies.) ... Also, he kidnaps Peach for her political power, (and also because he likes her.) not just because she's a helpless damsel! (Though it doesn't hurt that she hardly puts up a fight.)

[@mamichula93]

Finally, someone who understands Bowser's character

[@zanepierson6816]

This is why bowser is my favorite character in the Mario universe

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

It's clearly a complex political situation considering they allow him to partake in kart races and sports and games and stuff. To me, it seems to be like Arthurian England. There is no unified king for their kingdom. It's a feudal system in which they all claim to be the monarch of the kingdom, but none of them have the support of enough of the Mushroom Kingdom to be the one true ruler of the land. That's why there's SO MANY monarchs in the Mushroom Kingdom. King Bowser, King Bob-omb, King Boo, King Thwomp, etc. Of course, Bowser and Peach definitely seem to be the top two contenders for the throne. Which is why Bowser is constantly kidnapping Peach and trying to get her to either marry him or submit her power to him. If he gets the backing of the two biggest powers (his own and Peach's), then he WILL be the one true King of the Mushroom Kingdom. So, they can't really arrest Bowser because half the Kingdom would riot over it. So, they just have to let him constantly pull his shit and have faith that Mario will keep the tenuous peace. And then, when people are doing fun things, immature Bowser just has to be a part of it because he wants to have fun with everyone too.

[@Liverator]

The RPGs do a good bit to fleshing out his character as well. Not the least of which being the Mario and Luigi game where you literally play as him. What's so interesting is that his followers are so ridiculously devoted. It lends to the idea that the Bowser's aggression towards the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom is just as much to help his followers as it is to help him. I'd also say that it wouldn't be illogical for Bowser and his followers to participate in Mario Kart and the like. After all, Russia and America both set aside their differences during the Olympics. I think this is further backed up by Bowser's actions in Super Mario RPG, wherein he joins Mario in ridding the Mushroom Kingdom of Smithy's army. He's not against Mario or Peach personally, but rather their ideals/plans for the Mushroom Kingdom.

[@JoaoPedro-ol7sl]

"As We marched all of us could hear the great theme of our nation, of our army, as we saw our king with us on the frontlines walking with us with his nobles, which it was a great honor, the music did give us lots of hope and happiness but the presence of our King made it even higher we could feel our feet burning the ground as we knew that this time things would be different... This time we had all of the fleets together and on land, cannons behind all the troopers marching, some troopers had hammers, spears, or even nothing, as we approached the capitol of the mushroom kingdom, our hearts burned of excitement and looking forward to avenge our brothers and the general that opened the Mushroom Kingdom's borders to us, he sacrificed himself with his last words being "For our King, for our lord, For the Koopa King!" He was a inspiration for us. We got a little close to the walls of the giant city, and the explosions started as we waited for a entrance to the city, those walls that separated those slavers scum and us, they keep saying on how they changed but we know the truth, as hours and hours passed on and on, finally a opening showed, our King shouted to us to move forward as he came with us, the enemy's army also moving forward toward us but we always have the technological superiority, which we had a boost on with the deals we made with the "Robotnik's Industries" that come from very far lands. As we marched on them with 3 lines of troopers having spears pointing at the enemy's lines as they did the same, all I heard was screaming and explosions, while all I saw was blood, men from both sides dying, hammers, cannonballs and arrows flying from side to side, but eventually we where able to enter the city, we where much more trained than the enemy since unlike them, we grew and grow up in the hard ways, which develops strong people with strong will, I was lucky to not see the Mushroom Kingdom's Champion and his friends but hours after the battle begun we heard news that Bowser with a new type of unit, that where made from the Robotnik's Industries, robots that where super agile, fast, loyal, intelligent and brutal, but they weren't full robots the suits needed someone to control it which we had volunteers I heard from the guards that there was lots of screaming and blood, since the users needed to lose a good portion of the body and when it was complete they where, they are more robot than men now, but after we heard the news of our King success of kidnapping the princess we retreated, since it was a genius stragedy from our King since the Mushroom Kingdom without their princess, their model, can be souless, hopeless as well very incompetent, toads aren't the brightest, so even though we lost many phase one of the plan was complete now phase two, defeat the Kingdom's champion, which even tho we failed many times our King had a few new tricks that would definitely work this time, and after Mario is dead as well the princess it won't be so hard to destroy the rest, and we will finally get what we deserve back."

a fire emblem crossover with nintendo could totally have a battle with king bowser as one of the mid-point fights. "So what sort of person is king bowser exactly?" "He's the man in charge of the mightiest military on the continent, his troops are all heavily armored, his war machines are incredible, we'd be fools not to enlist his aid...except..." "Except?" "His nation's been under an isolationist policy brought about by the war with the shittake kingdom, princess peach and bowser have had a bizarre rivalry due to multiple attempts at uniting the ironshell kingdom and the shittake kingdom through...kidnapping. bowser is eccentric to say the least. there's only one warrior from the shittake kingdom who can match him in terms of skill and firepower. it's said this one man can take on his overwhelming army single-handedly and always wins without exception. if we want to even come close to infiltrating the ironshell nation, we need his aid. as it so happens, the ironshell's annual kidnapping has occurred, and this individual is already on the move." "What sort of madman could take on such a great military force alone?" "Some call him jumpman, others call him mad. he's a cold, ruthless individual with a heart of stone, it's rumored he, bowser and peach are part of some strange love triangle. but most know him as.....mario." "So if we strike while this...jumpman is fighting bowser's forces, we stand a chance?" "The idea is this, we use jumpman's assault as cover and defeat the stragglers. against a non-unified front we'll be on even ground. but i can't stress enough just how hopeless it'll be if this mario individual fails. the sheer might of bowser's army is incredible, the technology on display is nothing short of mythical. automatons that explode, flying warships, tanks, a flying castle that can land and generate its own magma moat. somehow his main keep is inside a volcano! if we fail to protect mario, we don't stand a chance of earning bowser's respect by defeating him. but if we can show bowser that our strategy can overwhelm even him, he might consider lending an ear, and his insane military might, to our campaign to save our nation. Above all else, valm cannot fall." "If he decides to turn on us though..." "It'll be disastrous, yes i know. but by all accounts, bowser respects strength and military prowess, it's why he's had this long tradition of kidnapping peach, he uses mario as the example of what his troops should aspire to be like. most of the ironshell kingdom consider jumpman to be a god of war and admire him, even as they fight for their very lives. it's a very roundabout way of keeping order because the threat and legend of mario is so substantial that they wouldn't even consider going against bowser." "is their relationship...friendly?" "It's a rivalry born out of mutual respect. mario doesn't destroy bowser's kingdom and sometimes, very rarely, bowser protects the shittake kingdom when it comes under fire. they're not quite friends, but bowser and peach formed an understanding, which is why the kidnappings have continued as an annual tradition for so long." "that's.....weird. bowser is weird." "Get used to it, if we succeed we'll have the greatest military in the known universe lending us their might. and for the love of god whatever you do, don't try to pick a fight with mario. I've heard horror stories about what he can do to people......"

1) Wait, Wouldn't the "Shataki" kingdom be specificly the Goombas? (and not the Toads?) Most goombas are on Bowser's side! 2) I see MatPat's "Why Mario is Mental," theory is cannon in this fan-fic. 3) As are the theorys about the kidnapings being staged. 4) As well as the games where Bowser helps fend off a greater evil who threatens his the land he wants to rule, I.e. Super Paper Mario, or Bowser's Inside Story.
