Character Bowser belongs to the legendary game series "Mario". The first project appeared on old consoles, and this antagonist was in it in the role of the main villain and boss. It was incredibly difficult to reach him, but to win was completely impossible. After that, he began to appear in almost every project. Over time, his story was formed as a character, which was quite interesting to the fans. This is what is described in the article.
Appearance
The Bowser character is a cross between a dragon and a turtle. In the initial games of the Mario series, he had only some spikes and was not much different from his minions from the clan of the “clan”. Later, the authors added to it diversity, growth and a more formidable appearance. Then he already acquired the real features of a dragon. It is Bowser who is the most formidable enemy of the protagonist, because his cunning and cunning manages an army of smaller turtles and even Gumb. Fighting him is always difficult because of the huge physical strength.
Antagonist goals
Like any other negative character, Bowser has his own goal, which he tries to fulfill throughout the series. He always abducts the sweet and kind princess Peach to keep him captive. Theories about why he does this are the most diverse. In some games, it was indicated that only this girl with her abilities can block Bowser's black magic and prevent him from doing evil deeds. Therefore, he is trying to remove the obstacle from the path, but he is always prevented from doing so by two brothers - Luigi and Mario.
Another reason is the undivided love of the leader of evil creatures, which he harbors for Peach. The princess does not reciprocate, and therefore it remains only to steal the girl in order to somehow quench her thirst for feelings. This year, with the release of the new part, gamers are constantly repeating that in fact their feelings are mutual, and the brothers simply interfere with the two lovers. The majority perceives such facts as a fraud, but maybe there is a grain of truth in this.
Family ties
The authors of the "Mario" series of Bowser's character were not fully disclosed from the position of creating a full-fledged story. Each new part opened up some new information, and the overall picture developed. For example, in the last parts, the authors indicate that the antagonist has a son, only that who is the mother remains a secret. Later, the developers of the line decided to go even further and in Super Mario Bros 3 indicate that the character Bowser in "Mario" has seven children. What they were and why they had not said anything about this before, the authors decided to remain silent, but they were given the name “Kupalings”.
The community was greatly agitated by this news and an active discussion began. Subsequently, the authors again changed their mind and rewrote the story. They indicated that Bowser and these seven similar creatures were not relatives. The development team returned to the idea of leaving one son with an antagonist that everyone loved and ended up experimenting with family relationships.
Movie appearance
Throughout each game, the character Bowser tries to enslave the Mushroom Kingdom and uses all methods for this. Sometimes his ambitions even go beyond this framework, and he begins to think about power over the whole world. Such aspirations were perfectly reflected by actor Dennis Hopper in the film “Super Mario Brothers”. There, Bowser bears the name that the people of Japan like to call him - President Kupa. He is the head of the last city, where the descendants of the once great dinosaurs still live. His main dream is to capture and enslave the whole world. For this, the antagonist wants to use a special crystal, which is kept by Princess Daisy.
The film is quite old, because there are no impressive special effects in it. Although the main negative hero and descendant of dinosaurs, he is always in human guise and uses a flamethrower. Only once did he turn into a dragon for an instant when Mario defeated him in the final battle.
general information
The character Bowser Skilet was a success for the developers, therefore, throughout the series of games, Mario is very successful. Many critics and authoritative publications put him in the top ten among all the main villains in the industry. Pretty good results, given that this is an arcade and the main boss appears in it only at the end.
The well-known magazine "Empire" went even further and placed Bowser in 23rd position out of 50 in the list of the greatest characters in the history of all computer games. The hero captivates with his pleasant cartoon appearance, especially in a modern design. His desire to capture the fairy kingdom does not look so negative when such bright colors dwell around Mario or Luigi inside the universe. Bowser always considered his red-and-blue guy with a mustache to be his main adversary. At the same time, he did not perceive Luigi as an opponent at all, which always angered some fans. In general, this antihero causes positive emotions and it’s fun to fight with it.
