Bowser

Name: Bowser

Age: Unknown

Race: Koopa

Title: King of the Koopas

Bio: The leader of the Koopa tribe, Bowser has had his eye on the Mushroom Kingdom and harbored a deep love for its princess, Peach Toadstool. He has terrorized the land and kidnapped the princess on multiple occasions, but always seems to have a thorn in his side that thwarts his plans on an equally-regular basis--his arch-nemesis, Mario. Despite his shortcomings and track record of failure, Bowser is thick-skinned and persistent, trying again and again to claim what he wants.

Voice Actor: Kenny James (SFX)

Special Attacks:

-Fireball: Bowser spits a ball of fire at the enemy, similar to a Hadoken. Can fire up to three with proper timing.

-Koopa Klobber: Bowser pulls back his fist, then throws a powerful haymaker that lets him slide forward slightly. Can be charged to do more damage and cross greater distance.

-Shellshocker: Bowser rolls forward a short distance, taking the form of a giant spike-ball that can hit the opponent multiple times. Requires some startup time and is punishable if blocked or evaded.

-Bowser Bomb: Bowser jumps into the air in an arc pattern, then slams down onto the ground, butt-first. Can do massive damage and floor enemies, but is fairly predictable.

-Slugger Kick: Bowser jumps forward slightly, his body positioned sideways and his feet extended. Direct hits can wallbounce foes, but it is fairly short-range and, if he misses, requires a brief recovery time.

Throws

FORWARD: Bowser headbutts the opponent, hooking them with his horns, then bucks them off like a bull.

BACKWARD: Bowser tosses the opponent over his shoulder, then turns, winds up, and throws a powerful haymaker that sends them across the stage.

Super Moves

-Minion Swarm: Bowser roars and points at the opponent, summoning forth an army of Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and more as they swarm across the stage in a wave formation, inflicting multiple hits on the opponent.

-Fire Bomb: Bowser takes a deep breath, then fires a huge fireball from his mouth. It moves slow and only goes in a straight line, but is huge and hard to avoid, and it will explode on impact to inflict heavy fire damage.

-Giant Bowser: Bowser stomps the ground and, if the immediate shockwave hits successfully, he will roar and grow to a gigantic size. He will then proceed to beat down on the opponent with his fists, kicking up debris with each hit. After six good hits, he will jump in the air with astonishing grace and perform a hip-drop to land on top of the opponent, then roll off and shrink back to his normal size.

FATALITIES:

-Shell Grinder: Bowser picks the opponent up, then tosses them into the air before crouching down on all fours. The opponent falls back down, landing on Bowser's spikes and getting impales in multiple places. Bowser then jumps up, turns his back to the ground, and spins, slamming into the ground and grinding the opponent into bloody chunks. He then unfurls and struggles to get back up.

-Well-Done Meat: Bowser grabs the opponent by the shoulders and bites down on their head before spewing a stream of fire down their bodies. With a twist of his head, he rips the opponent's charred head off, then spits it out to let it tumble across the ground. He then begins spitting and wiping his mouth, as though it tasted particularly bad.

Intro: A large hovercraft bearing the face of a smiling clown flies over the arena, then darts off as it deposits its rider. Mentioned rider hits the ground with two large, scaly feet, the camera panning up to reveal Bowser in all his glory. Once it reaches his head, he rears back his head and roars, flames licking the sides of his mouth.

Outro: Bowser crosses his arms and laughs in a booming fashion, then uncrosses his arms and roars at the camera before breathing fire into the air.

Stage: Bowser's Castle

Prologue: With the princess in hand and the Mario Bros. standing over him, defeat seemed to befall Bowser once again. At that moment, Lady Luck seemed to throw him a wild card, a portal appearing just before the Koopa King and dragging all four into its depths. When Bowser regained his senses and recovered from the ordeal, finding himself in the world of Death Battle. Liking the looks of this place, he decided to make it his new base of operations. Chuckling at his own brilliance, Bowser set forth, ready to take on the competition.

Rival Cutscene: *all dialogue from Bowser is translated from his bizarre language*

(In a boiling, black-and-red lava field, Bowser stomped his way across the lifeless, black ground. He could take the heat thanks to his thick hide, but he ultimately felt like he was going nowhere.)

Bowser: (How long do I have to keep this UP?! Nothing around here but lava and brimstone!)

(Bowser folds his arms and closes his eyes, trying to keep his cool.)

Bowser: (Keep it together, Bowser. After all, you've come this far and not come across any pesky plumbers.)

(Bowser uncrosses his arms, then chuckles to himself)

Bowser: (Hehehehe, bet Mario's got his hands full against these guys. I mean, they're no problem for me, but considering he's less thick-skinned, odds are he'll be toast WAY before I am-)

(Bowser is swiftly interrupted when something strikes him full in the back, causing him to stagger backward. He whirls around to see a tall man in a long, flowing cape. He lowers a recently-outstretched arm)

Ganondorf: Searching for something?

Bowser: (YOU! You're the one who wrecked my castle!)

Ganondorf: *chuckles* So, you managed to make it here as well? I'm quite surprised, honestly. I half-expected you to fall before you met me, or even fall victim to your own clumsiness.

Bowser: (WHAAAAT?! Say that again! I dare you!)

Ganondorf: Our last confrontation means that I take no threat from you seriously anymore. If you desire to silence me, come forth and try!

Bowser: (Well...Don't mind if I do!)

Ending: Sitting on the throne that he always desired, Bowser finally knew the sweet taste of victory and had Princess Peach in his clutches for good this time. The Koopa King was on top of the world! He didn't see what could possibly go wrong-Then a blue-and-red streak flew in through his window and snatched Peach's cage out from Bowser's very nose. The Koopa King rushed to the window, staring in disbelief. After the Mario Bros., Bowser didn't think there could be anything worse than them. The Man of Steel, it seemed, proved him wrong. Even in victory, it seemed that Bowser just couldn't catch a break.
