    Yoshi's island DS confirms that Mario is a star child just like Bowser, which leads me to think that Mario is a superhuman and has power on a similar level to Bowser, which would explain how he is always able to defeat Bowser. It would also explain how he was able to pick Bowser up by the tail with his bare hands and throw him a great distance in Super Mario 64. And it would explain his great jumping abilities.

      Not really the same strength, but the same league I think.

      @jdepicadventures 5 месяцев назад +1

      @gunbuckybucketman4578 No, of course, they don't have the same strength level. Nintendo confirmed that Bowser is twice as strong as Mario and Wario combined, and Wario is a very strong star child too, but yes, he's in the same league as Bowser, but Mario mostly wins by outsmarts Bowser or his own arrogance, and pride causes his downfall with Mario's enhanced capabilities helping.

    In regards to durability, you didn’t mention that, according to the Prima guide in Super Mario Galaxy, when the universe was reset, Rosalina had to protect everything from being eradicated, but she purposefully excluded Bowser. However, Bowser lived with no permanent injuries. Bowser literally tanked the universe’s destruction.

    Mario is in a high fantasy world where trees talk and someone can be flattened like pancake and be fine in the end.
    Last time I checked Hulk in a continuity can break a planet.
    Koopas turtles which can also remove their shells.
    Smash Bros is not part of the Canon of Mario Tales, and the characters in it are toys.
    The weight and fireball heat thing, what's the source?
    Those aren't rocks, they are pieces of castles, fortresses, and towers.
    In Mario Party Island Tour Bowser uses his magic to create an entire tower in an instant.
    In Super Mario Run it mentions the Fortresses are made by Bowser.
    Dry Bones can be frozen.
    Dry Bowser is Bowser, we see him become Dry Bowser in New Super Mario Bros DS, Bowser Junior's Journey, and Mario Party 10.
    People believe Dry Bowser is a separate character because of a line about a bubble clone in Mario Party Island Tour that is a mistranslation.
    I don't recall seeing Bowser eat a Metal Mushroom in any game.
    Oh yeah, Bowser's giant form seems to be triggered by magic/the power of the stars or high stress situations.
    The IQ claim is probably something he made up or someone else told him, Bowser is shown to be not the brightest. However, he is not dumb as seen in PM64.
    Bowser and Bowser Jr's tech is probably not made by them but the Koopa Troop. They just have the knowledge of how to operate it.
    What's the source for the speed of sound claim?
    Bowser also has the abilities to summon his minions via magic, occasionally teleport other people to him, turn entire islands into storybooks, and maybe even duplication powers.

    • @LegoWhisbecauseyes

      Not to mention that Bowser was threwn inside a black hole at Mario Party 9, then he exploded with a supernova
      A few minutes later, he's seen flying on his Clown Car along with Junior
      He didn't only build Bowser's Tower with his magic, he also created Bubble Machine which creates clones of ANYBODY
      Dry Bowser is kind of a plot hole, he is shown to be a seperate person in Mario Party Island Tour, and yet the same person in SMB DS
      Maybe it's just a clone or something idk
      Oh and, Junior and Koopalings have 4th wall awareness

      @Eris1987 Месяц назад

      @@LegoWhisbecauseyes The Dry Bowser of Mario Party Island Tour is a Bubble Clone, and the line about them being a close family friend is the result of the localization team altering the original text. Similar to how they added in the non canon Mushroom King in the SMB manual.

    One thing that I think is noteworthy is that Bowser beat Dark Bowser, a malevolent entity that copied Bowser’s DNA and abilities. Dark Bowser had basically everything Bowser has PLUS all kinds of dark magic, and Bowser beat it. Logically, this means that Bowser had to have made up the difference with tactical knowledge and skill.
    Technically, Bowser didn’t beat DB alone, but since DB is 2 entities at that point, and Bowser fought the Bowser part while the Bros took care of the Fawful bug, I’d say that still counts as proof that he isn’t ENTIRELY dumb muscle.

  • @LegoWhisbecauseyes

    He can also spindash and homing attack just like Sonic characters as seen in BIS
    Can power-up himself with his fury (not Fury Bowser, his fury power boost thingy)
    And he was hella weakened at beginning of BIS, he could remove it veeery slowly through game
    I'd argue that he completely threw away his weakening after Dark Bowser battle (probably Bowser X or smth)

  • @legendarychomper

    Worth mentioning that in Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey, there are two things of note.
    1. In the giant fight against Mecha Peach's Castle, Giant Bowser throws the castle around the entire globe. The castle literally circles the entire planet and lands back next to Bowser.
    2. In the Bowser Jr's Journey part of the game, you can recruit Bowser as a unit. In his description it says, "He possesses more charisma and destructive power than a trillion Marios." Taking that at face value means that Bowser is like a trillion times stronger than Mario or something? Sounds crazy to me lol. It sounds like Bowser wrote his own description.

    • @LegoWhisbecauseyes
      @LegoWhisbecauseyes 2 месяца назад

      It just says that his DC is stronger than Mario x1T
      That's actually huge
      Also a small detail, characters have 4th wall awareness
      Koopalings literally come to main menu to teach you the game, and Bowser Jr can read descriptions as he mentioned at the fight where Larry and Wendy teached critical damages, he read Wendy's description and it's probably written by Roy
