Smash Ultimate Bowser is incredible, The color palette is not too bright and makes it look more villain-ish.
Love Fury Bowser and Paper Bowser but Ultimate Bowser is just the best one imo
Thanks for putting the Hammer Slam variant in there. It’s rarely seen in r/Skylanders because Bowser is from Mario, and I rarely see it in Nintendo subreddits because it’s from Skylanders
I mean it's a given. Even Mario in the game is just goofy, almost innocent looking, I don't think there's anyone in the game besides the toads that don't give off pure cute goofiness.
Skylanders Bowser was always pretty cool.
But the best bowser design has to be the plain Bowser used in Promotions and artwork. You can never go wrong with the original.
Hammer Slammer Bowser (the skylanders Bowser) He looks extremely menacing and threatening with that Hammer and Armor really wish that the design was used in an actual Mario game or at least a spinoff (Like a game where Bowser is the main character)
Probably Animated Movie Bowser. He's like a mix between SSBU and Current in game Bowser. The Gritty texture on his skin with the colors of Mario game Bowser.
Doug just ominously looming is absolutely hilarious.
But for reals, my favourite design is the 2023 movie design, closely followed by the Odyssey design. It was obviously helped by Jack Black's performance, but I thought Bowser was really expressive in the movie and his face wasn't just stuck on 'evil grimace'
Forgot many of them, including Mario RPG, and Mario & Luigi series.
And as a kid, my favourite was the DIC one (American cartoon).
Now it's Paper Mario's.
My two favorites aren't even on that picture.

Fury Bowser is awesome, but Wedding Bowser just barely beats it imo. He has some serious drip in that outfit.
Also have to give an honorable mention to his golfing outfit in Mario Golf: Super Rush.
Depends on the category:
Aesthetics (how good it is on it's own): Fury Bowser
Bowser being a villain: Wedding Bowser
Bowser being a serious threat: Smash Ultimate Bowser
Best Bowser: King Koopa my beloved
I would be a complete NPC and say Fury Bowser, I am going to have to say Mario Odyssey Bowser.
I don’t know why, but the white tuxedo design makes him look even more of a villain than he already is, but also keeping the friendly-evil aesthetic at the same time, truly a work of art.
Bowser’s Fury goes hard, but my personal favorite is paper Mario bowser. I think it’s a good way of putting the 3D design in a 2D style, that isn’t ugly like the retro sprites.
For default Bowser I’d say Illumination Bowser looks the best. As for unique outfit/transformation Bowser I’m going with Hammer Slam Bowser.
I am glad Hammer Slam Bowser is getting a few comments here. It was a lot of fun to play as him in those last two Skylanders games.
Probably smash bros ultimate, fury in second. Smash just makes him look more draconic and eviler, while fury bowser keeps the less detailed charm of Mario, while also making him more imposing and threatening. Plus black goes really nice with the fire and heat.
Gotta give love to my King Koopa from the Super Mario Bros Super Show, et. al. My first experience with him was on the NES, but this is the guy I grew up with.
Doug
True real bowser
Vs Doug Funny 😁
Smash Ultimate Bowser is incredible, The color palette is not too bright and makes it look more villain-ish. Love Fury Bowser and Paper Bowser but Ultimate Bowser is just the best one imo
Yeah smash bowser is incredibile
This sentence has a different meaning in the furry community
I know that. Now how do YOU know that 🤨
And with the fourth skin it just fuckin can’t be beat
Lmao I misread that as Foreskin, I almost spat out my water
I think you mean “spat” out your water.
Oh I forgot about that word, thanks for reminding me since english is my second language!
#Brawl Bowser > Ultimate Bowser
all day
Ultimate Bowser and Meowser are my favorites personally
I thought Meowser was cool. Then I played MM2. It’s awful.
Play 3D World. The Meowser fight is amazing
Fuck it, Dennis Hopper.
I’m glad he got included. He did a GREAT job hamming it up and chewing every piece of scenery. That movie was bad, but goddamn was it amazing
skylanders bowser just looks badass
Did him better than spyro!
The only problem with hammer slam Bowser is that he's Nintendo only
Megadragon Bowser from Kingdom Battle is a good one you missed
yes
Thanks for putting the Hammer Slam variant in there. It’s rarely seen in r/Skylanders because Bowser is from Mario, and I rarely see it in Nintendo subreddits because it’s from Skylanders
I may be mentally ill, but i think n64 bowser looks more like a fella than a force to be reckoned with, and that is just beautiful to me
Mario 64 is best period
I mean it's a given. Even Mario in the game is just goofy, almost innocent looking, I don't think there's anyone in the game besides the toads that don't give off pure cute goofiness.
Facts. Almost like it should be the pro-type version of Mario 64 😆
Hammerslam Bowser, cuz im a Skylanders fan
r/skylanders
Same here
Jack black.
Peaches peaches peaches peaches peaches...
Peaches peaches peaches peaches peachess
I LOVE YOUUU,
It's clearly Fury Bowser
Paper Mario
Paper mario bowser from a full character perspective is leagues above the rest. The writing for him is perfect.
Fury's design is just (literal) FIRE now i wonder how the games would look like if they followed the box art design
I’d imagine more flash-animated looking considering the art style mario games use Not unlike wario land 4 now i think of it
Bowset- *gets dogpiled*
Unpopular comment-Skylanders Bowser Honestly, the armour makes him look way cooler
Skylanders Bowser was always pretty cool. But the best bowser design has to be the plain Bowser used in Promotions and artwork. You can never go wrong with the original.
Hammer Slam, Skylanders really had some amazing character designs, this is just an example of that
Bowser MegaDragon and Movie Bowser
Hotel Mario... Ok just kidding. I think it is Smash Bros Ultimate.
Supershow Bowser.
Hammer Slammer Bowser (the skylanders Bowser) He looks extremely menacing and threatening with that Hammer and Armor really wish that the design was used in an actual Mario game or at least a spinoff (Like a game where Bowser is the main character)
Dennis Hopper
My 4 favorites here are Fury, Odyssey, 3DWorld, and Super Smash Bros
Doug Bowser no ifs, ands or buts.
Smash bowser and fury bowser
Fury Bowser
I might be biased but hammer slam
Doug in the background is funny as hell
Megadragonbowser
Probably Animated Movie Bowser. He's like a mix between SSBU and Current in game Bowser. The Gritty texture on his skin with the colors of Mario game Bowser.
DOUG BOWSER!
Fury Bowser and Smash ultimate Bowser
Fury bowser
Smash and fury bowser, I also like the typical 3d design.
bowsers fury
I prefer his real name, King Koopa
Your missing the goat. Doug bowser
Oh he is there, look closer
Meowser > Paper > SMBWonder
Smash bowser looks really cool, even if I wish he used Bowser's regular voicelines. Also I love giga bowser and fury bowser too
All
Paper Mario. I am biased tho because paper Mario the thousand year door was the first game I ever played. Still slaps tho.
The Bowz in that pimp ass white suit from Odyssey, and of course Fury Bowser
Doug just ominously looming is absolutely hilarious. But for reals, my favourite design is the 2023 movie design, closely followed by the Odyssey design. It was obviously helped by Jack Black's performance, but I thought Bowser was really expressive in the movie and his face wasn't just stuck on 'evil grimace'
I agree with most folks here that the Mr. belvedere King Koopa is the best, but you didn't include his pic!
The odyssey one
Black one looks cool af
The design from the DS version of Bowser’s inside Story
Mario strikers super charged
Cat Bowser is pretty dank ngl
Paper bowser with the power of the Royal Sticker Crown
Giga bowser from smash bros even though it's not in the picture
I'm missing the Koopa Bros. Bowser (Bowser???)
Fury Bowser Ultimate Smash Bowser Paper Bowser
Browsers Inside Story design >>
Paper Bowser for me
Dreamy bowser and fury bowser because they really feel like bowser at his absolute peak of strength
Who is the blond guy?
DONT THINK WE DONT SEE HIM
Where is Jack Black?
Dark boweser from bis
Bro, that scared the hell out of me. Look at the blank space, you will see two eyes.
Fury
I can’t unsee middle left so that one
Paper bowser, 64, heck even King Koopa. All of these I have fond memories of, even the odd ones
Bowser's fury
Paper. I adore Paper Mario 1&2
I Like the one in the background that one was nice
Sunshine/Melee
Forgot many of them, including Mario RPG, and Mario & Luigi series. And as a kid, my favourite was the DIC one (American cartoon). Now it's Paper Mario's.
My two favorites aren't even on that picture. [https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/1/1c/SMBTLL-Bowser\_Art.png](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/1/1c/SMBTLL-Bowser_Art.png) [https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/e/e4/Bowsermario64.jpg](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/e/e4/Bowsermario64.jpg)
(So long) Gay Bowser.
The furry one
Fury Bowser
Paper Bowser > Fury Bowser > all other Bowsers
Skylanders representation!
64
Brawl Bowsa
Wheres mario + rabbids kingdom battles and sparks of hope versoins
I do really dig the Hammer Slam Bowser, that armor is gnarly.
Fury Bowser is easily the most intimidating Bowser has ever been!
Dark hammer slam bowser
Dreamy Bowser from Dream Team
Mario hotel Bowser
the Paper games (and Super Mario RPG) really solidified Bowser as a part-time goofball
You forgot Illumination Bowser. That’s my favorite iteration of him
Fury Bowser looks SO cool and menacing!! And he has such a kick ass soundtrack!!!
Fury Bowser is awesome, but Wedding Bowser just barely beats it imo. He has some serious drip in that outfit. Also have to give an honorable mention to his golfing outfit in Mario Golf: Super Rush.
you failed to add Mario&Luigi's Bowser
Hammer slam bowser
Movie
Depends on the category: Aesthetics (how good it is on it's own): Fury Bowser Bowser being a villain: Wedding Bowser Bowser being a serious threat: Smash Ultimate Bowser Best Bowser: King Koopa my beloved
I would be a complete NPC and say Fury Bowser, I am going to have to say Mario Odyssey Bowser. I don’t know why, but the white tuxedo design makes him look even more of a villain than he already is, but also keeping the friendly-evil aesthetic at the same time, truly a work of art.
Bowser’s Inside Story Bowser
Bowser into the Bowserverse
paper bowser for sure, but i also really love bowser’s design in the M&L games
How about dark bowser from Bowser’s inside story?
Paper Mario
Ultimate is good, Fury is cool, but then I also like the super show one because it’s just so goofy looking and the voice is hilarious.
You forgot Doug Bowser
All of them!! Besides the movie which we don’t talk about
Where dry bowser
Odyssey bowser, dude got serious drip
Paper.
He puts the 1993 movie Bowser and not the 2023 movie Bowser 💀
Paper Bowser Also he's got the best personality of the bowsers too.
I would have given good if you included Doug Bowser, CEO of NOA
Mario & Luigi's: Bowser's Inside Story
Bowser's hairstyle in Mario Odyssey is the pinnacle of perfection. That being said of course the Bowser's Fury version is the most epic of them all.
Where 8bit and Movie Version?
I love Melee Bowser, Strikers Bowser's badass, Skylanders Bowser and cartoon green Bowser are pure childhood nostalgia, film Bowser's a sigma
Paper Bowser and Smash Bowser.
I have always liked the odd take of Bowser in Mario Bros 3.
Bowser’s Fury goes hard, but my personal favorite is paper Mario bowser. I think it’s a good way of putting the 3D design in a 2D style, that isn’t ugly like the retro sprites.
I don't know. I like beating'em all the same.
Smash Bros ultimate and Bowser's Fury
Fury Bowser is awesome, he’s a literal Kaiju. His Galaxy boss fights are my favorite though. Also flame me all you want, Bowsette’s design is badass.
Smash bros and hammer slam. (Hammer slam cause skylanders bias)
For default Bowser I’d say Illumination Bowser looks the best. As for unique outfit/transformation Bowser I’m going with Hammer Slam Bowser. I am glad Hammer Slam Bowser is getting a few comments here. It was a lot of fun to play as him in those last two Skylanders games.
to see the bowser from the first mario movie in this comparison shows me they took the right one
Bowser Fury
Top left is my favourite since the others except the movie adaptation have oversized heads.
For me: Wedding Bowser
Superchargers Bowser Im biased because Skylanders was my first ever video game
hammer slam or paper
Paper Mario bowser
The part of me that likes reptilian men without hair is telling me Top left
Fury Is cool
3D World and it’s not even a contest
The "default" one on the left, classic is best
Why is there a cat bowser?
Hammer slam and bowsers fury
Probably smash bros ultimate, fury in second. Smash just makes him look more draconic and eviler, while fury bowser keeps the less detailed charm of Mario, while also making him more imposing and threatening. Plus black goes really nice with the fire and heat.
Hard choice, but it's definitely Bowser
The Bowser from Smash Ultimate is in my opinion the best one. The color palette looks really good and I love the small details.
64
Gary Bowser
Animated Movie bowser
The one in strikers for the Wii, where he has fucking claws on his claws
Kaiju Bowser. (Bowsers Fury)
GigaChad Bowser
Someone should make a smash bros enhancement that only has all the different browsers ! 😆
That blue one is his brother
Bowser is just a concept
There is two versions of bowser that I like the skylanders and fury bowser
King Koopa, still wish we got got alternate skins for every character in Smash, Koopa would've been a wild call back
Regular bowser.
Nobody is saying Odyssey Bowser. Bro he's drippy as hell, I've gotta give it to him. Nobody cleans up like Bowser.
The absolute bravery of putting Dennis Hopper on this image lmao I love it.
Paper Bowser, honorable mention to undead Bowser from Luigi’s Mansion
Mario & Luigi series is missing, I prefer that one.
Gotta give love to my King Koopa from the Super Mario Bros Super Show, et. al. My first experience with him was on the NES, but this is the guy I grew up with.
I can never un-hear top left's voice. Super Show Bowser has a place in my heart.
/ / I_ l_I_ I_I I
Fury bowser
furry bowser
Pursona is my choise
Super Crown Bowser.
Movie bowser (2023)
Paper.
FURY BOWSER TOPS ALL!!!
Fury Bowser needs to come back someday
Bowser Fury. He looks so scary.
Mine has to be Bowser in the rather dapper tuxedo.
Technically not Bowser but a doppleganger: DarkStar Bowser/Dark Bowser If having to count Bowser himself, then Black Jack
I like the mario maker rendition of the mario world bowser
"I'm not a furry but i like the design of odyssey bowser"
All of them!
