In reality, the reason you fight Bowser eight separate times in the first game is because the first seven aren't actually Bowser; they're basic enemies disguised as Bowser via magic, hence why when you kill them with fireballs, they transform back into their original form, whereas killing the true Bowser in World 8 results in no such effect. Now, as for why Bowser continues to appear over and over again in subsequent Mario games.... I have no idea lmao

[@estebanramirez1178]

The answer is magic. Specifically, necromancy. That’s why Dry Bowser is a thing; it’s an incomplete resurrection of Bowser. Consider the DS game of the Mario Bros and it kind of makes sense.

[@tntjrock3197]

honestly touhg. Boweser was kinda fire proof in 3d world were he comes back after beeing fallen into lava for his second phase. His Big Bowser Form also seems to be fire proof. Even if we dont count the first games (because obvioaly the creators didnt tought so far when they made the first games) It still dont make snese with the other games. Maby he is resistent to fire but not to Lava. In the games he dont die from fireballs, he more like tripps and falls from the bridge into the lava when he gets hit by enoug fire balls. So the Fire balls dont hurt him he more like loses his balance because of them. Or maby he does get weaker because fireballs do give a little explosion when they hit something so maby the explosion makes him weaker.

[@Violent_Wolfen]

@@estebanramirez1178 And those are the rare occasions he does die. Most of the time he doesn't die or show injury. He usually just get knocked out or a switch is hit and he falls several feet from something he either didn't know about or didn't factor or too tunnel-visioned to notice.

This was already explained IN GAME in the original releases of SMB. If you defeat any of the first 7 Bowsers with fireballs instead of dropping them in the lava pit, each and every one of them is revealed to be a Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Spiney etc in disguise before falling off screen. Only the Hammer Crazy Bowser of 8-4 is actually the one and only TRUE Bowser. Later 3D games also confirm that Bowser can straight up Bathe in Lava if he so chooses, so it was never the end of him anyway.

I see a lot of people commenting that in SMB, there are fake Bowsers. But in NSMB, you seem to fight the real Bowser in world 1, then fight him again in world 8 as Dry Bowser in the final castle and a slightly larger and more difficult version of his regular form in the true final castle. We actually see him getting his flesh back by being dropped into a cauldron filled with an unknown potion. I am assuming this is the canon reason as to why Bowser can go into his Dry form and back into his regular form so often.

The Bowsers from World 1 to 7 are in fact Fake Bowsers, which is why they turn into regular foes once you pelt them with fireballs.

[@jaoofy]

[@Sojoboscribe]

And he must have been alive for a decent time, since he now has seven children of varying ages (some of which look a little young to have been sired before SM started.) . Actually I suppose that means that whoever is the Koopalings mother was with Bowser for a pretty long time as well. So he obviously spent the entirety of the time between SM and SMC (or between SM2 and SM3, if you are talking about the original Japanese SM2) just laying low and starting a family. Maybe THAT's why we got Wart in our SM2, Bowser was too BUSY at the time to do anything.

The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough.

Yes indeed mariogun

[@joshuagawidan482]

Damn even though it's a pixel animation this one's smoother than your past videos.

[@bruhudumb]

It's so much better animated than before imo

[@Djwunmoshen]

Bowser is the Prestige

[@BeforeMoviesSucked]

"It was about... the look on their faces."

[@RubyCarrots3232]

Why don’t they release multiple Bowsers at once.

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

That's a good question.

[@napoleoncomplex2712]

It would ruin the sadistic play.

[@8Robba]

Good Gameplay

[@idklol27]

That's why mario maker exists!

[@davelewis8270]

It isn't Bowser in all those castles though is it. It's a different enemy in each castle with a spell cast on them to make them look live Bowser. That's why they turn into different enemies in each castle if you kill them with fireballs

[@Gamma7DroidSecurity]

I just always imagined that Bowser had a kind of healing factor. He falls into Lava, his bones, and therefore brain, are not damaged by the Lava because of some sort of magic, and the flesh heals back with time.

"Somehow Bowser returned"

[@victorespisoler9117]

Mushrooms according Bowser: -They sat quietly waiting to tell the player that the Princess was in another castle. But Never Divulging the Truth
