====''Super Mario Odyssey''====

Bowser returns in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', once again as the main antagonist. He invades the [[Cap Kingdom]] and kidnaps [[Tiara]] to commence his "royal wedding" with [[Princess Peach]], brutally defeating [[Mario]] via his wedding hat and shredding the [[Mario Cap]]. He then sets up his "wedding", having his minions steal artifacts from various kingdoms to fulfill his desires and further ready the wedding, and hiring the [[Broodals]] to help him against Mario. Although he does not steal anything needed for the wedding from the [[Metro Kingdom]], he does nonetheless cause massive chaos in the kingdom regardless by having [[Mechawiggler]] attack the city as well as various tanks, and also proceeded to plaster numerous ads advertising his wedding (much to the annoyance of the city's mayor, [[Pauline]], who found the posters "tasteless" especially in light of the chaos). Mario and [[Cappy]] catch up to Bowser in the [[Cloud Kingdom]], and defeat him. However, he shoots them down with his airship sending them to the [[Lost Kingdom]]. Later, when the [[Odyssey]] is en route to [[Bowser's Kingdom]], he has the [[Ruined Dragon]] damage the Odyssey, and also has the Broodals hold off Mario long enough to fully escape from the castle to the [[Moon Kingdom]]. Eventually, he "invites" various people around the kingdoms to the wedding at Moon Kingdom by capturing them, including [[Pauline|Mayor Pauline]], and has a final battle with Mario, only to be soundly defeated, knocking him unconscious. However, due to the Wedding Hall collapsing, Mario is ultimately forced to [[capture]] Bowser to get himself and everyone else to safety. Upon regaining consciousness, he attempts to resume his attempt at wooing Peach's hand in marriage, with Mario doing the same, only for Peach to "reject" them both. Bowser then attempts to go home with Peach but gets jumped on by Mario and knocked away from the Odyssey. A segment in the [[Darker Side]] in the level "Long Journey's End" involves Mario controlling Bowser to reach the next area.

 

The second fight is basically the same, but it's now much harder and Bowser uses some new tactics. When being attacked, Bowser will always use the spin seen during the final attack in the previous battle, spinning more times depending on how many times he has been hit, and the spins create fiery shockwaves. Like before, he will use duplicates of the hat after being hit once, but he now uses three and eight duplicates, respectively, rather than two and five. He also has two new attacks that he uses while Mario is wearing his hat. Once Bowser is hit once or twice, he may stand in the middle of the arena and breathe a stream of fire around the arena; as he is surrounded by flames during this attack, Mario cannot strike. He may also throw flaming versions of his shell, which cannot be punched away like the bricks. Additionally, for the final hit, Bowser must be punched rapidly again after spinning three times. He will then spin once more and can be attacked to be defeated.
