The evolution of King Bowser: better now than ever?

shuandrew | March 02, 2008 | Blog | Nintendo 64 Wii 
King Bowser, Mario's arch enemy, is one of videogaming's oldest and most famous villains, but doesn't often get the attention that he really deserves. Nintendic takes a look at the fiery beast's long history, documenting his many changes and offensive tactics, and asks whether he is in better form now than ever.
For every goodie, there needs to be a baddie, and in the world of Nintendo they don't get much bigger than King Bowser - or King Koopa if you prefer. He's been around just as long as Super Mario and changed just as much, but because of his evil doings, we suppose, he doesn't get anywhere near the same amount of attention. It's time to get properly acquainted. Let Nintendic take you on a trip down memory lane, documenting some of the antagonist's most famous exploits and seeing just how much he has grown and developed as a character since he first captured the Princess over two decades ago.

    I always wondered who would win.. Bowser or Ganon..

    Bowser has the fire breathing thing going for him but Ganon has the advantage of being "triforced up" so to speak.

    Sorry, nerd rant.

      Hardly a rant, not that nerdy for here, and Gannon.

        I'm pretty sure its Ganon and not Gannon.

    Bowser kicks ass. He hasn't changed much though, apart from obviously being in 3D.

    I reckon Bowser looked his best in Mario 64. There's something about those jagged pointy graphics that made him look so sinister. XD

      The Graphics were so blocky, you had to pay attention to something other then how jagged his face looked.

    They really needed to add how Bowser was emotion in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. C'mon it was funny to see him cry!

    I like how Bowser is now, except that rawring is kind of weird.
