Bowser, also known as King Koopa, is a video game character and the primary antagonist of Nintendo's Mario series. In Japan, the character is known as Koopa (クッパ, Kuppa) and bears the title of Daimaō (大魔王, lit. "Great Demon King").
Bowser is the leader and most powerful of the Tortoise-like Koopa race, and is the evil archnemesis of Mario and other characters throughout the Mario series, beginning with his first appearance, in the game Super Mario Bros. His plans usually involve kidnapping Princess Peach and attempting to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom. Since his debut, he has appeared in almost every Mario series game.Bowser was the creation of Nintendo designer and producer Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto had first envisioned Bowser as an ox, basing him on the Ox King from the Toei Animation film Alakazam the Great. However, Nintendo designer Takashi Tezuka pointed out to Miyamoto that the character looked more like a turtle than an ox. Despite popular misconception, Bowser is, in fact, supposed to be a turtle, not a dragon. (Though an early advertisement flyer for the arcade version of the game did refer to "conquer[ing] dragons" as part of its gameplay.) Miyamoto and Tezuka then began to work together to define Bowser's appearance. Since the character was in the turtle family with the Koopa Troopas, the two began to base his new appearance on them, creating a new illustration. Bowser used to be mean, but when you beat Story Mode in Mario Party, Bowser plays with the crew. I know because I've beaten Story Mode 8 times.
