Bowser is a giant spiked Koopa and the main antagonist of the Super Mario franchise. He frequently invades the Mushroom Kingdom with his army of minions in attempts to kidnap Princess Peach, only to be ultimately stopped by Mario. He appears as a Guest Object in the in the Wii U and European 3DS versions of Scribblenauts Unlimited.
He has 200 HP, deals 10 HP of damage with his normal attacks, and approximately 30 HP per hit with his fire breath.
Like other Nintendo guest objects, Bowser cannot have adjectives applied to him, and cannot be edited with the Object Editor.
Behavior[]
Bowser is hostile towards Mario, Luigi, Toads and Yoshis and will attack them. When near Princess Peach, Bowser will display the 
emotion but will not chase her when she runs away. Bowser is neutral to all other NPCs as well as the player, and will not attempt to harm them unless he is provoked. Despite this, unintended targets often get caught in Bowser's fire breath attack, and he can be a danger to everything around him while he is in combat.
Bowser has two methods of attack, with his standard melee attack resembling a "claw swipe" and doing 10 damage per hit. In addition to that, Bowser occasionally does an extremely powerful Fire Breath attack, covering a large area and dealing multiple hits per second to every object caught in it, with each hit doing roughly 30 damage. If Bowser is unable to reach his opponent with his melee attack, he will use his fire breath attack in a nonstop stream until the target dies.
Bowser will also enter any Kart he sees. Due to Bowser's immense size, this usually looks comical if the size of the kart has not been increased to accommodate him.
Bowser will pick up nearby Baseball Bats, Golf Clubs, and Tennis Rackets, and he will also kick Soccer Balls.
Two Bowsers cannot exist in one level at the same time. Creating a new Bowser while one is already in a level will destroy the older one.
Trivia[]
- Bowser's fire breath attack is exceptionally dangerous, dealing roughly 100 HP per second.
- For context: Most NPCs only have 50 HP, and even very strong objects often struggle to survive more than even a few seconds of Bowser's flames.
- Bowser is very large by Scribblenauts standards, being around 3 times the height of Maxwell.
- Bowser's size in the Mario series is relatively inconsistent and can vary wildly between games. Bowser's appearance in Scribblenauts appears to be larger than average, though.
- Bowser riding Karts is a reference to the Mario Kart series.
- Bowser's interest in sports items is a reference to various Mario sports games and series, such as Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Strikers/Mario Football, and Mario Superstar Baseball.
- The depiction of Bowser in Scribblenauts Unlimited somewhat resembles the Bowser disguise used by the Koopa Bros. in Paper Mario.
