'''Bowser''', sometimes known as '''King Koopa''' or '''King Bowser''' (Japanese: <span class="explain" title="だいまおう">大魔王</span>クッパ, ''Daimaō Kuppa'',
Since his debut, Bowser has been in nearly every ''Mario'' game, including the main series, spin-offs, and crossovers. Due to his role as the primary villain of the ''Mario'' series, he is mostly the final or penultimate boss in his appearances, if not as the main antagonist (an example being ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''). In the ''Mario'' RPGs, Bowser is generally cast as an antihero or a minor villain, with the exception of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''.

==General information==
===Naming===
While Bowser is generally referred to as "Koopa" in Japanese, there are occasions where his localized name is alluded to. For example, in the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the [[Flame Runner]] is known as the Super Bowser. Because all regional releases of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' use the English voice acting, [[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 the Japanese language. Bowser Koopa is rarely directly given as his full name, but it has occurred in some officially licensed material such as the ''[[White Knuckle Scorin']]'' album comic, as well as certain cartoon episodes and comic issues.
===Personality===
