Meet the Mushroom Kingdom’s most lovable rabble-rouser!

He’s big. He’s bad. He’s been known to spit hot fire.

He’s Bowser!

In games, every great hero needs a great rival. Luckily (or maybe unluckily?) for Mario, Bowser has been more than happy to cause a little trouble around the Mushroom Kingdom for over 35 years.

While the kingdom’s resident rascal doesn't always have the friendliest attitude, he and Mario have been known to team up from time to time. Below, you can catch some of the games where Bowser has been a friend, a foe, and a father* to Bowser Jr.
