- —Bowser
King Bowser Koopa Sr. is the main antagonist of the Super Mario series. He appeared in the 59th episode of Death Battle, Bowser VS Ganon, where he fought against Ganondorf from the The Legend of Zelda series.
History
Born to the Royal Koopa Family, King Bowser Koopa had always been a demanding tyrant, even when he was just a young spoiled prince. His hunger for power turned toward the Mushroom Kingdom and its ruler, whom he harbored a deep affection for. He has terrorized the land and kidnapped the princess on multiple occasions, but always seems to have a thorn in his side that thwarts his plans on an equally regular basis: his arch-nemesis, Mario. But with every loss, Bowser's aspiration for conquest and drive to win grew stronger, trying again and again to claim what he wants. While Bowser holds an intense grudge against Mario, this seems to be one-sided, as Mario is always quick to forgive the Koopa King and still invites him to fun activities with the rest of his friends, because Mario doesn't believe the king's childish nature to be "true evil".
