*All 8-bit sprites have only three colors, but Bowser's original sprite from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' appears to have four. This is because the black background is what gives Bowser his black spiked collars around his wrists. Due to this, using cheat codes so Bowser appears in a non-castle level will look like his hands are separated from his arms. This occurs again in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' where Bowser's sprite is designed to exploit the black background and use it as an outline element. |

*While King Koopa is not normally referred to as Bowser Koopa in Japan, there are occasions where it is alluded to. For example, in the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', his [[Flame Runner]] is known as the Super Bowser. In all versions of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', [[Princess Peach|Peach]] calls [[Bowser Jr.]] "Bowser's son," and Bowser himself calls his family the "royal Koopa line," meaning that Koopa is also his surname in Japan. Bowser Koopa is rarely directly given as his full name, but it has occured in some official sources such as [[White Knuckle Scorin']], as well as certain cartoon episodes and comic issues. |

*In the key artwork for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bowser is shown to have a cape. Bowser is only ever seen wearing a cape in ''[[Super Mario Momotarō]]'', ''[[Super Mario Shirayuki-hime]]'' and ''[[Never Koop a Koopa]]''. |

*For many years it was unknown who Bowser's father was. With the release of ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' in 2008 however, many speculated [[Dry Bowser]] was the father but this wasn't confirmed by Nintendo yet. There was much debate regarding this for some time however this debate was finally put to rest in November 2013 with the release of ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' where it was actually revealed that he actually is in fact Bowser's father. |
