Link to my Discord chat hope i see you there! / discord
Credit too @Gameexplain for their Dry Bowser footage: check it if you want to see the full fight • New Super Mario Bros 2...
3:40 I actually calculated this feat. That cannon ball should be around 5 times Bowser’s height [10 feet tall] which should put it around 50 feet in diameter. I did do a bunch of calcs using the sphere volume and the density of iron to find it’s mass and I’m to lazy to redo them and post them here. Any way the cannon should have launched it at a speed of 100m/s. This multiplied by the mass should give us the momentum of the ball. To finally get the force needed to stop it we need to divide the momentum by the time which was an astonishing 1/60th of a second. This means to stop the cannon ball Bowser must be exerting the equivalent of 40,000,000 TONS OF FORCE. For perspective the Burg Khalifa (tallest building in the world) weighs only 800,000 tons Bowser can lift that with a finger!
Pinned this! Awesome! That's just insane that's base Bowser too holy shit
@@DontMindJoe yae
🤩
@@DontMindJoe Also, I got my lazy ass up and recalculated the mass. The cannon ball weighs 32168601.275 pounds. I plugged it in the kinetic energy formula with the 100m/s speed to get the explosive equivalent. It’s equal to 17 tons of TNT. Stronger than the “MOAB” but still a bit disappointed. I bumped it up to a probable 200m/s. Now it’s 69.7 tons of TNT. Or about twice as strong as the FOAB (strongest non-nuclear bomb ever detonated). So this is a city block level durability and strength feat at both low end and high end.
@@DontMindJoe keep in mind that the dream stone made bowser a multiverse level threat considering that the dream depot consists of multiple universes. Not to mention that a alternate universe version of bowser from a Japanese manga called Mario Kun showed bowser defeating super dimentio with complete ease, though to be fair he had the pure hearts on his side, but still, bowser was able to defeat a high complex multiversal threat like dimentio and sadly people still downplay him and wank characters from either Touhou or undertale.
Bowser’s magic skills are all thanks to the teachings of Kamek. He’s mentored Bowser since infancy. Bowser only perfected Kamek’s skills. So perfect in fact that in Yoshi’s Island DS, he has the ability to time travel!!! I AM NOT KIDDING!!!! He can just time travel to see where he went wrong with his last battles with Mario to come up with new strategies!!! He is beyond even HIMSELF!!! 😂😂😂
Yea I forgot about the time travel just makes him even more insane lol
@@DontMindJoe Now thanks to the new Mario Movie teaser, we can now confirm that Bowser is a true genius if he can convert AN ENTIRE LAND MASS into a fortress AND make it FLY!!! He makes fun of anyone who stands in his way of what he wants to obtain, in the movie’s case, the Power Stars. And finally, his Fire Breath is strong enough to destroy an entire castle with no sweat, and like you said, that’s only his base form.
@@MrGojira95
Downplayed and justified because fire beats ice, but I must admit that structure was simply *huge.*
Oh, and you forgot to mention that lava fortress thing is *BIGGER THAN THE PENGUINS’ KINGDOM.*
@@blainetate743 And if you look carefully in the trailer, HE NEARLY MELTED THE KINGDOM!!! Those poor penguins!!
Time travel might explain how Dry Bowser shows up in the spin-offs lmao
You forgot to mention that during the entirety of inside story all his feats were done while he was weakened by princess peach's magic
Wait really? That makes him even more OP!
@@spicyice1012 its right at the start where peach and starlow both weaken him with magic
@@soulofcinder518 Peach has some insane abilities yet she dosen't use them often.
@@Gabriel-zy7ee depends on the game and story
@@Gabriel-zy7ee i mean, she cant really stand up against an entire army by herself, bowser's kingdom has tanks and stuff (smb3), a lot of people on his side, and way more.
He now has the voice of Jack Black, increasing his power level tenfold.
Ain't that the truth
connor beith gets revenge
This aged like wine

Bro gettin em black air forces 🗿
Bowser is. . .extremely powerful. I got some extra notes about him that wasn't brought up here.
- His leadership is utterly astounding. His minions don't follow him out of fear or mind control, but out of sheer respect and admiration for him. Hell, his minions even managed to resist brainwashing out of their dedication to Bowser.
- An epic father for sure. Even gives parenting tips to Mario in Origami King, and being a good parent requires at least average intelligence.
- In Mario Party 9, his Boss Fight takes place on a platform right in front of another black hole. Bowser doesn't just get sucked into it, but resists it's pull entirely until he's defeated. Also his magical abilities is demonstrated with him summoning his strongest minions through a mere dice block.
- In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the entirety of the Comet Observatory, the Lumas on board and Rosalina herself (the local GODDESS of Mario's Universe) were all captured by Bowser's magic. He literally captured and immobilized a goddess and her vessel that can travel across the universe at speeds faster than light.
- Many of his forms have special abilities that further his sheer power. He's able to use mere paper to create giant cardboard armour that can tank meteors. His Fury form passively corrupts life around him into fury shadows as shown with the local kittens of Lake Lapcat. Despite his Fury form costing him his smarts at first, once turning into Giant Fury Bowser he regains his intelligence, using magic to keep the Giga Bells out of Mario's hands and staying at a distance to blast him with fire and spine pillars.
- Using the power of the Inhale Block (as shown in Dream Team, he keeps this ability even after Bowser's Inside Story), he's able to shrink and suck up anyone and anything around him, from people to trees, pipes and even an entire sewer system. Even his own internal body has organisms that protect him from outside Intruders (such as viruses) that only beings such as the Dark Star can plow through.
- Dreamy Bowser. . .woah boy. In this form he becomes a Reality Warper. Literally. Anything he dreams of becomes true, from creating food to eat to MAKING LIFE through Dreamy Minions. Basically he has the powers of a dream and he gained this form after his gigachad move in betraying Antasma and improvising by inhaling the Dream Stone's pieces.
- He's weilded the Star Rod before, able to grant any wish imagineable after breaking in the holy Star Haven. The ONLY thing that even somewhat nullified his invincibility was the power of the ones who created the rod to begin with. Even then, they can only do small amounts of damage to Bowser at a time. And since the Star Spirits show up in Mario Party 5, at the very least the events of Paper Mario 64 are Canon to the mainline games.
- Finally in Super Mario RPG, there's an optional boss called Culex. He's, as described by official sources, the ruler of TIME and SPACE. And should the player desire, Bowser can defeat him singlehandedly! IN BASE FORM!
- As for everything with Dry Bowser, NSMB DS is the only time where he canonically dies. Even then, he's able to reassemble his corpse and fight Mario again, alongside able to be resurrected through magic (As Bowser Jr does in the final level of the game). It's possible that after this resurrection, it gave Bowser his immunity to lava as he's never shown to outright die aside from Mario Party 10's Bowser boss fight. Even then there's a theory that Dry Bowser was actually the boss, merely using a disguise to look like his fleshy cousin so Bowser could sneak away unharmed. Island Tour does canonically confirm that Dry Bowser is a member of Bowser's family tree, so maybe he's one of his ancestors resurrected through black magic? Either way it's established from then on that Bowser and Dry Bowser are two different beings.
That's all I got, but I probably missed some stuff. Overall Bowser's a sheer power house (and an amazing father to boot) who should be respected. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
This is a long essay, but these aren't close to some of his absolute bullshit in other canons
In Super Mario 'Kun, he defeated the author.
Bowser could hit Starship Mario with his meteors in SMG2. Lubba said you have to travel through space & time in order to reach other worlds. This fucker is fast.
Nice
@@TheKoopaKingBowser You forgot that in Mario Kun, Bowser also bitchslaps Super Dimentio like he's nothing.
@@cbfranco3307 really!? damn
Well then why does he still gets his ass handed to him by a red plumber
I feel like pointing out that black hole was a universal threat that a species capable of creating galaxies and planets sacrifice themselves to convert it into a big bang that destroyed and recreated the universe with Mario and peach having to be protected by rosalina who was more powerful than said entire species, bowser was not protected but survived
me bowser giant, can't me mario
💪🏽🗿🚬
This video is 100% accurate and pays respect for the turtle. Canonically Bowser could probably beat most villains(Thanos probably not), but all Nintendo villains he could beat or at least be on par with the strongest of them.
@Antoine Gédéon True
@@chompingdragon2635 I can see Bowser putting up an insanely close fight with Thanos at his base.
@@Gabriel-zy7ee True
Bowser is one of the strongest Nintendo characters and he can beat most of them but comparing him to Ganon is hard.
I’d say he can beat most marvel villains except for Thanos and definitely can’t beat Glactus.
I know it’s weird comparing him to Star Wars characters but Bowser might win because those guys just use Lightsabers.
@@TheAncientSith okay Star Wars would beat all Mario characters
Thank god there are people who are smart enough to understand what Bowser is capable of
Yeah.
There haven't been?
A lot of peoole think bowser is weak, probably never played bowser's inside story before lol
@@raiwserkoopa2221 Lol
"Smart enough" man this is a topic for 15 year olds. Get real.
So glad you brought up inside story. One of my favorite games and always bring it up when talking about how powerful bowser is.
It's like the go too guide for Bowser power scaling insane
Peak
and the thing is, looking at other feats, it seems like BIS was still nowhere near his best, just the most convenient for examples
BIS is just Bowser but heavily weakened
If Bowser was at his canon power in BIS, he'd probably send that cannonball back with one hand and no struggle, almost as if he's throwing a stone
He'd just pull out the rope and island would collapse upon the continent
He'd accidently make the drill go around Earth
someone finally acknowledged bowsers inside story and the fact he moved an island
I did some rough numbers on that cannon ball and it should weight about 2130 tons or over 4 million pounds
Holy shit that's awesome thank you for giving me a number! That's insane lol Bowser really is an absolute monster.. On a strength level he's easily on par with some of the heaviest of hitters in the world of comics for sure.
@@DontMindJoe I’ve only started hypothesizing how strong bowser is after playing bowsers inside story 😅
Have on mind that Mario is the dude that casually beats Bowser everytime he fights him and makes it look easy
This comment and this video is the answer to how strong Mario really is
That's cus we control him, with out us he is just a plumber getting high on shrooms
@@freshavacodo555 well, the games start especifically because he chooses to save peach, most mario games dont give you an option to go like "nah i dont want to save the world imma just sit here" (super paper mario is an exception.) In fact im pretty sure mario actually chooses what to do most of the time, because like, you end up being the hero anyways, there may be a thing or two like, say, whack whacka on pm64 and spm or sell that one wallet from some old toad in smrpg which causes this toad npc to hate you, but even still, thats not exactly canon, never got told what is canon and not so basically mario has some arguably small amount of personality besides, yknow, being the hero. Thats why mario doesnt speak much, unlike luigi in games where luigi isnt a playable character
That's because Bowser seems to never get rid of switches in his castle that Mario can use to drop Bowser into lava pits or Mario can trick Bowser into destroying the floor under him...Bowser is mostly brawn not brains.
@@mikeburkhart8336 there are games where you do fight against bowser directly, like mario & luigi games, super mario 64 with mario being able to throw bowser away, and probably more stuff.
As a powerhouse, Bowser is severely underrated. He doesn't get the credit he deserves. He's also one of the few villains to defeat the main hero. He's beaten Mario before, and not many villains do that with main heroes. Also, there were some games where Mario needed help to beat Bowser too. Paper Mario is one of those examples.
Finally, someone who understands the Mario characters aren’t weak cartoonish characters. Mario has shown to be able to beat the crap outta someone who can survive a black hole and a supernova. Mario even survived that supernova in Galaxy. I get that Kirby fights gods all the time but still Mario is no slouch either even in Paper Mario, he’s extremely broken
Yea, the Mario Universe is insane in terms of its power level
@@DontMindJoe also Mario defeated Dreamy Bowser and he was powered up by the dreams stone which has infinite amounts of universes inside, Mario was in his base form to plus Luigi. Why does Sonic gotta turn super but Mario doesn’t? Mario’s is broken
Kirby needed help to take on those gods.
@@BlueJourney2719 mario doesnt need super forms, if he had one he'd be able to instantly kill any enemies simply by standing there doing nothing
@@andytaker3073 Kirby can get way more creative than Mario, which I’m disappointed of since Mario RPGs are always adding new villains, but since Paper Mario sucks now and Mario & Luigi games are dead. We aren’t getting anything now! (Except for Mario + Rabbids)
By far, without any question, the number one most powerful thing Bowser ever did that you mentioned here was FALL INTO A SUPERNOVA AND SURVIVE.
Supernovae are just impossibly huge things. A supernova at the moment of detonation is 100 billion Kelvin. They can outshine entire galaxies of trillions of stars. And Bowser came out of it merely unconscious, like he was clocked in a bar fight or something. That alone is a feat of strength on par with, probably greater than, anything in the Marvel universe.
Would bowser be at the strenght level of the marvel godzilla (from a marvel comic in the 70's)
That godzillais an unstoppeble force of nature.
Except that that supernova and black hole destroyed the universe and killed everyone lol, why does none actually pay good attention to what's happening in Mario Galaxy? That black hole destroyed the entire universe, the Lumas sacrificed themselves to stop it and RECREATE AND RESSURECT EVERYONE, Rosalina herself tells that to Mario at the end of the game, that black hole killed everyone, Bowser didn't survive it, the Lumas just ressurected everyone when they sacrificed themselves. However, Bowser did survive 2 black holes in Mario Party 5 and in Mario party 9, both of those were also created by HIMSELF using his magic, in Mario party 9 Bowser just ROARS and that created a massive black hole that was sucking up PLANETS in the background during his boss fight, then, after he was defeated, he falls into the black hole, and survives. This is Base Bowser's greatest feat and puts him at solar system level power and durability.
@@cbfranco3307 Something to also mentions if this the only canonical time he’s died, IT WAS A UNIVERSE ENDING EVENT THAT KILLED *EVERYONE.* A different comment I saw that the guide says he doesn’t die although I don’t have the guide to confirm that.
@@TheColdfrontCommander The guide wasn't made by Nintendo. And anyways,it doesn't say that, there's just a single line in the manuel people like to really take out of context to say Bowser survived. Anyways like I said the guide wasn't made by Nintendo and probably ain't canon, first of all in-game Bowser never says he wants to destroy the universe, just conquer it, whereas the guide states he wants to destroy the universe and recreate a new one where he'd rule with Peach.
@@cbfranco3307 are you forgetting the part where he launches himself back out of the event horizon of a black hole, _without any surfaces to even push off of?_
This was an awesome video. Made me love Bowser even more. I've been a fan of him since I played SM64 for the first time back when it came out. He was the first video game villain I've seen.
Thank very much! It's one of my favorites I put a lot of work into it and it was a lot of fun to do! I hope to do more like it in the future
Under the intelligence discussion, you neglected to mention that he’s a sophisticated poet, as evidenced by him freestyling a haiku to vent his frustration at not feeling seen and validated (prior to the final boss sequence in Super Mario RPG).
I’m being tongue in cheek btw. I loved this video. Well done sir.
Damn! Bowser the artiste just another skill to add to the list!
Thank you very much im glad you enjoyed it! This was by far my favorite video to make
Vent?! He's an Impostor?
A very wonderful 20:55 of my life. Bowser has done it all and cant be killed. He even defeated dark bowser who was created by a powerful dark star. He also has the most powerful smash bros move aka suicide dive.
Im glad you enjoyed it lol I know you and Max were grinding the Galaxy games so its fresh in your mind
@@DontMindJoe dark bowser from bowsers inside story. I love that game
@@DontMindJoe yea bowser gets smacked in galaxy
Let me explain Dark Star a bit
This dude is basically a god
At 50% power at base form alone, Dark Star is able to create a black hole by just spinning (50% at max because Fawful absorbed the other half)
For his Bowser form, he basically copied Bowser's DNA and applied it to himself
Now can talk, perform skills and abilities of Bowser and has his full power
HE ALMOST FREAKIN' WIPED OUT MUSHROOM KINGDOM WITH EVERYONE INSIDE (INCLUDING MARIO, LUIGI, PEACH, BOWSER, KOOPALINGS, JUNIOR, SANS, PAPYRUS, SONIC, IMPOSTER, FREDDY FAZBEAR, WHOEVER YOU CAN THINK OF) BY SIMPLY *ROARING*
...and yet was a joke compared to Bowser
To be honest, he could easily crush Fawful (tiny form where he is fused with Dark Star's core) easily, but he chose to absorb him because Starlow, Mario and Luigi wanted some credit as well
And by the way Dimentio can be scaled to boundless due to Void and Mario cosmology
One of the great feats of Bowser have to be in Mario and Luigi Dream Team, where he was the one who used the OC villain (Antasma) to his own advantage and betrayed him. Considering that other (lesser) villains have constantly using him before (possibly because he wasn't feeling using his braincells those days), we can say that Bowsy boi learns a lot. If Bowser went full big brain, he'd be the scariest villain of all time.
Agreed, love the profile btw.. Always Sunny is one of my all time favorite shows. In fact my tag on my PlayStation account is Dr. Toboggan and my Xbox Live tag is the Trash man lmao
YES! Giving Bowser some of the dang Respect he deserves ✊
kill ghostly space
me dragon giant bowser
I'm forever convinced that bowser and eggman are two villains that should never be underestimated.
I believe in one of the Mario Galaxy game Bowser Tanked a exploding sun. So yeah Bowser is a Beast
Yea towards the end of the video I touch on that part of Galaxy. Guys a monster that’s for sure
To add to the lava resistance section, can we also just mention that bowser literally not only can survive being in lava, being half submerged in it and feel nothing, but takes a goddamn BATH in it in Sunshine. Bowser is just that damn powerful, that he just sits inside a pool of lava like it’s the most mundane thing ever.
I agree with you on most everything you've said, but I think it's a stretch to say that Bowser is some brilliant inventor. As you have established, he has an army of soldiers who are fanatically loyal to him, presumably he has those people build all of his junk.
Well yes but someone has to draft up the plans and I don't think any of his minions are skilled enough to do that. Even someone like Kamek isn't that skilled. In my mind Bowser is the guy that plans out the construction and his mooks do the heavy lifting
Let's ignore how he's a certified doctor. And has boasted about having 9K iq before.
@@TheKoopaKingBowser Every character in the series, including babies, are ""doctors"", and all they do is stuff pills down people's throats. Don't need an education for that.
Bowser bragging and exaggerating his feats is common, him claiming to be that smart doesn't mean he is.
I know this is unrelated to the Bowser topic, but those "Babies." specifically Mario, is a genius.
And I could understand the topic of Bowser not making his stuff, but he's been shown to be a genius, however. The fucker has a lab. Has been stated to create his castle and has created a whole monster out of just chemical
mixtures. So it's hard to say that him boasting about his IQ is Hyperbole. The entire mini gamep is quite literally centered around him being smart.
(i.imgur.com/KSagvGh.jpg) "Koopa's crafty engineering." and not to mention the fact that he successfully has a military revered around the galaxy. (it's in the same image.) And is capable of kidnapping peach again and again, despite her being able to quite literally stop his magic. i.imgur.com/u2S00pR.jpg. And even if he didn't directly make somethings, he most likely designed them, he has a space station extremely close to the sun yet it functions perfectly.
@@TheKoopaKingBowser put simply he's an excellent tactician and engineer but lacks common sense and social understanding
how come nobody talks Bowser’s vacuum ability that he uses in the Mario & Luigi games? I mean seriously that ability is freaking OP!
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT BOWSER'S INSODE STORY JESUS !
It's a great game! Would love to see more entries
In many universes the big villain is a dark god. Bowser punched a dark god to death.
He’s one tough son of a bitch
With all these numbers, Bowser in the real world would be its destroyer! With an endless army at his disposal, even all of the world's military can't stop him! He would be the real world Godzilla in both base and giant forms! The Super Mario Bros Movie made it clear that the Super Star could defeat him, but even movie form took it like a champion! I think the only way to stop him is by relating to him, which may seem crazy. Also, if I know my turtle facts, it's that the shell is powerful, but it's underside is not. If some weapon were made that can penetrate the Koopa King's tough underside skin, (possibly seeing him actually bleed) and aimed straight at Bowser's heart, excluding his magic, then Mario's eternal rival, and his entire franchise, would be over.
In 1up binges Nintendo villains weak to powerful, the only villains stronger than Bowser were literal Gods. Think about that.
Your extremely intriguing analysis, your dedication to the research, and your SPICY charm have just gotten you another subscriber.
I absolutely LOVED this video!!! For years I've always thought that certain villains in the world of gaming have gotten a bit too much spotlight in terms of their power, and I thank you very much for putting back the respect Bowser's name was always owed.
I hope you continue to make waaaaaaaay more videos like this (especially on videogame villains), and I'm proud to call myself one of YOUR subscribers.
Thank you Joe!
Thank you VERY much! I put a lot of work into this video and I'm super proud of it, im so happy that you really enjoyed it! I was pretty disheartened when it didn't really get much attention but I am absolutely looking to make more videos like this one in the future
For the intelligence:
"I'm Bowser, gamer without compare!
With my 9,800 IQ, I am Bowser the Brilliant"
- Bowser, Mario Party Advance
I finally get some respect. I'd slaughter every character canonically in Smash except for Sonic, Shulk, Rosalina, and maybe Kirby.
bowser canonically beats rosalina in both galaxy 1 and 2 and steal the grand stars tho and needs mario to help him. and rosalina is no stronger than base cast. sonic shulk and kirby are definitely losing since bowser has insane universal+ feats in base alone and can become multiversal and multiversal+ with the dream stone and pure hearts while sonic and kirbys strongest threats cap at low multiversal
@@AlloyAmi well that depends on whether or not that version of bowser is canon. To my knowledge that version of bowser isn't canon but yes that version of bowser is the strongest for obvious reasons and would stomp everyone in smash.
Canon bowser durability probably caps out at low universal in base to multiversal in his strongest canon form. This is based on the little damage he took from the supernova in base form. Since mario can incapacitate him multiple times im pretty sure mario's strength in the low supernova levels of strength and bowser is canonically stronger than mario so his strength must be 2-5 times stronger than mario but no more since mario would be one agot killed if he was stronger. Big bowser is pretty much multiversal+.
This makes him able to fight multiverse threats like sonic and kirby. Although i have no knowledge of kirby lore i do know extensive knowledge of sonic lore and proper scaling. Sonic's strongest potential is 7 times universal to possibility multi dimensional although that is debatable. Sonic technically is stronger than him because mario's base strength is supernova level but a amped up mario is really low universal since he can instantly incapacitate bowser in base form but he doesn't cause permanent damage so doing the math bowsers strength is only 2-5 times universal. Sonic's universal feats come from the sonic rush games that involve a final boss that is able to merge 2 dimensions together and since 2 super form characters are fighting it they are each universal in power and hyper form is 7 times stronger than super making sonic's power at minimum 7 times universal. The multi dimensional feat comes from fighting Solaris but i have no knowledge of Solaris's full strength or power so i find that debatable. Bowser still would stomp most characters in smash. The other version of bowser is just a few levels below omnipotence with the dream stone.
Imo Bowser destroys Sonic.
@@AlloyAmi when in mario galaxy does bowser beat rosalina?
Edit: also what universal feats?
@@This_handle_isnt_available_lol in the beginning of the game, he steals all of her power and grand stars and she isnt able to do anything to stop him. search mario debatesjungles to see universal feats mario characters have because posting links on youtube deletes comments
I always liked bowser and he does seem to get more and more powerful over the decades. Amazing how mario and luigi are able to keep up with him somehow even without the powerups. The death battle was surprised he lost with all the feats he has gotten over the years that even eclipsed ganondorfs. Though dont think they counted the rpg games he was in, i have to rewatch the episode.
bowser was actually supposed to win the death battle, but someone wanted ganondorf to win instead. and they didn't really do good research on it. in truth, bowser's abilities outshines ganondorf's abilities. you can kinda compare it to the godzilla fans wo says he can beat everyone. lol. and not that many people do any deep research about bowser either
Rule number one of video games never EVER underestimate or judge anyone just look at Kirby he looks harmless but is one of if not the most powerful character in all of gaming maybe in all of fiction.
Never overrated weak characters*.
I wouldn't say the most powerful in all fiction. He is powerful, yes, but there are beings that could beat him. Kinda heard it's taboo talking about this when it comes to kirby too?
@@raiwserkoopa2221 it’s debatable because Kirby is literally infinite power so yeah but there might be someone more powerful maybe
This is a very good analysis. I'd also like to mention another feat in the 3DS edition of Bowser's Inside Story. This happens when Giant Bowser squares off against Peach's Castle (controlled by Fawful). In the end of the battle, he proceeds to punch the castle so hard it was sent flying across into orbit. That's an amazing feat within itself. However, I wouldn't go as far as to saying Mario is a puny little human at all. He's displayed strength feats such as lifting castles and ground pounding meteors. Hell, he's even tossed Bowser by his tail with little to mid difficulty.
You forgot Ridley. You know, the vicious space dragon who commits genocide FOR FUN!
Incredible video Joe! Bowser is one big booty baddie.
Thank you! Lot of experimenting went into this one I'm glad I'm getting a lot of positive reception too it
The guy is a god in eldritch turtle form.
I love, that my favourite villain finaly got the recognition he deserves. Only a view things, Ihave to correct: I would doubt he invented and/or constructed any vehicle of his fleet by himself since he has a giant army and a couple smart individuals of those are propably planning his weaponary. Also I think you gave him too much credit for his magic cause allthough he surely has plenty and various of it, I think most of the magic, that is done to help him is more likely to be performed by kamek or other magickoopas and not by Bowser. And the thing with the lavaproofness is open for debate as you pulled out a view good examples of situations, in which it didn´t do anything to him but there is also at least New Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo DS in which he can be seen falling in lava and straight up turnung into Dry Bowser because of it, which btw confirms, that even if Dry Bowser is in some games an independent charecter, also normal Bowser can continue living in form of a sceleton.
My headcanon is that bowser is strong enough to win Tournament of Power but he has high morals that's why he never truly hurts anyone
I agree that I do think the reason Bowser doesn't just decimate the mushroom kingdom is that he does have morals and a personal code
4:37 Holy shit mario is real there is a green fucking green pipe in the background
Dude... How the hell did I never notice that in that photo until now... Good eye! That is one of the funniest and I'll admit slightly spooky coincidences ive ever seen.
Dude this was so cool! I never realized how strong Bowser was until I actually thought about it while listening to your video. Please make a video about Mario next.
Fun fact: Every Mario game is cannon.
In Bowsers inside story There is a part where you go underwater so he does not need oxygen
Not to mention the mario galaxy games when he is in space
Man you did a great job at this.
As a follow up is it possible to make a video scalling Mario or Kirby up next(I'm kinda confused on Kirby's power level).
Thank you so much! I'd love too! Id probably make the Kirby one first as I've never done much content on Kirby and it could be a lot of fun
@@DontMindJoe Yeha definitely.
I know some feats he does but it would be nice to have a full overview on Kirby.
@@DontMindJoe Especially with Kriby and the forgotten land this would be prefect.
In spite of what many people believe the Mario series does indeed have a canon, has always had a consistent canon, and was intended to since it's beginning. As for Dry Bowser there's is at least 2. One whose origin is not known, the other is Bowser. I can confirm all the sources you used are canon to the games. You did miss a few things such as Bowser's teleportation abilities as seen Super Mario 64, his ability to wield Dark Matter as seen in Super Mario Galaxy, and his basic ability to use any power up such as the Bros. The only thing that can't be said for certain is him creating all his structures when he can have someone else do it for him, though he definitely helps out. Also while Bowser is often depicted as an oaf at times he is smart enough to question whether or not Mario can get the power of the Star Spirits, question if the Koopa Bros are good for the job, and even yell at the Koopa Bros for them not obviously leaving someone behind to guard the Star Spirit.
About his intelligence and skills
We don't know if he build and plans all that or his subordinates and team
Especially many of the Magic feats can be given to Kamek
(But Bowser still has magic knowledge)
Amazing video. Super in-depth and got a lot of evidence for claims.
Thank you I appreciate it
I have shown alot of respect for bowser, he's been by favorite villain of all time from the day I first laid eyes on him. I'm glad you gave him some light
Glad to see Bowser is getting the recognition he deserves.I👍
I LOVE BOWSER!! This was an awesome analysis! Bowser by far my favorite character EVER! “Bowser: King Koopa, Turtle Daddy, Mario’s arch nemesis.” I definitely agree with the turtle daddy part~ MY turtle daddy!😊👑🐢❤️ (I’m a huge fan of Bowser) NICE video!
you cody davis gets revenge
cody davis gets revenge
How do I get revenge?

If it wasn't for plot Bowser would already conquer the mushroom kingdom and kill Mario
If anyone asks me why I religiously believe Bowser wipes Sephiroth, I'm showing them this video.
Thank you! Love that profile pic! K.Rool is my all time favorite!
someone who agrees!
Bowser can survive being dunked in a literal star and be a-okay
and there are people who says master chief from halo wouldn't have a problem against bowser XD do you guys actually do your research? even sephiroth wouldn't be able to beat him
Your introduction was fire..well presented. I'm hooked.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Sorry I’m a little late to this comment, been busy ha ha
I appreciate you using the superior bowser theme, angry bowser
Loved this and agreed with this thiers just one thing kemek definitely helped him out a lot in the magic department, but hey that's just an advantage of bowser again. But if I'd have to say the strongest villan I'd say Ganondorf but bowser man he'll just come back just like ganon lol
You know it's interesting I often think about in all reality who is stronger Bowser or Ganon and honestly I don't know... They both check multiple boxes for powers that are incredible but one thing that Bowser has over Ganon is that as far as we know Bowser is immortal and Ganondorf can be slain and Ganon can be sealed away...
One of them has a crippling weakness in the Master Sword while Bowser isn't necessarily weak too anything aside from Mario whooping his ass? But then he just sort of calls it quits and then goes about his business.... Id say Bowser has a leg up on Ganon but maybe it's worth exploring in a future video lol
@@DontMindJoe I'd say Bowser is more powerful, but Ganondorf wins due to his various magic abilities, he can:
Steal souls.
Posses others and even machines.
And, the most important against Bowser, Ganondorf can *steal other people's magic*
Bowser is only able to live as a skeleton without organs because of magic, without it, while he is still hard to kill, he is still a living being that needs blood, oxygen and all that other stuffs, basically, without his black magic, Ganondorf can easily just cut his head off, or stab him in the hearth, and Bowser will die. Whereas Bowser has no way of getting rid of Ganondorf's magic, which is also what makes Ganondorf as durable as he is, so Ganondorf has a higher chance of killing Bowser than Bowser has a chance of killing Ganondorf.
If you thought base form Bowser and Super Giant Bowser is enough, wait 'till you hear Dreamy Bowser, Grand Star Bowser, Manga Bowser, and Bowser Jack Black.
Dry Bowser could be Bowser's bro, you know, from Super Mario: The Lost Levels
What's even more impressive is that he can run faster and jump higher than Mario
The guy just runs circles around him, strength wise I’d say they are close, since they have been seen beefing it out, but yes, bowser is fast. (Speed != agility)
Dedede is probably the only main villain of a series in fiction that can beat him
Bowser surviving a black hole inside of it would be infinite 3d durability
Mario, in order to harm him with his physical hits, would need to be able to withstand the force of his own strikes, which means being able to harm Bowser would be infinite 3d durability for Mario as well
Which means Bowser would be able to hit Mario with infinite 3d strength, as he is able to harm Mario
This still wouldn't make Bowser the most powerful villain in fiction, sadly, because even with infinite power it would be limited by virtue of being contained within one universe (or, in other words, it would still be less than true universal power). But hot damn, it would take quite a lot of power to be able to surpass Bowser.
not to mention he has even stronger forms as well, making him a lot more powerful :)
Just had an argument with someone and I wanna see you’re thoughts. Can the newest Smash characters, Pyra and Mythra, beat Bowser canonically? Tho what about Thanos? He is also overpowered.
I don't see how they could... I mean he's taken a blast from a super nova I have a hard time imagining a sword is going to do anything to him.. And any energy blasts they can emit cant be stronger than that...
Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet is akin to a God so he can beat anyone.. Thanos minus Gauntlet couldn't beat Bowser but on the flip side Bowser couldn't kill Thanos either
@@DontMindJoe so you say it’s 50/50 with Bowser and thanos and that Bowser can beat the other two? I agree if that’s what you said!
@@jurassicking101.4 basically yes
@@DontMindJoe I agree I can't beat Thanos with Infinity gaunlet but I'd completely trash Pyra/Mythra.
@@bowserfrommario1640dreamy bowser do your worst
So Bowser Is Basically God? Epic.
FINALLY someone acknowledges Bowser!! He's so underrated and people keep dismissing him.. So glad I found this video!!
I’d be bowser’s helper/delivery man
Lore of How Powerful is Bowser? Momentum 100
There's so much to take apart with regards to the comparisons to Marvel and DC characters
I don't deny Bowser's capabilities, but he's not outboxing Superman or Hulk. And he's not outsmarting Batman.
Thank you sir, finally a man of culture like you recognize the king Bowser's true capacity 😈
That train thing means Bowser is easily at Spider-Man capabilities.
Nice to see Bowser get some recognition for his strength and power, loads of people really underestimate him because of the type of world he’s in and how it’s just a bit more child friendly.
Thanks for making this and showing how much of a beast Bowser is 👍🏻.
If bowser wasn’t in a game he probably would won, I think that Mario wins and bowser loses all the time is because he’s in a game and i think that in games the villain’s always lose. Also I like your video
Thank you very much! Yea that plot armor is strong
Oh hes your guy, but when i outperform a blackhole, im a tubby penguin
No disrespect to you King Triple D, your a strong boy too
@@DontMindJoe it’s king king Triple D to you
Understood
The only two things I can imagine I can. Defeat Bowser is alien X and the reality stone
Adding to his intelligence and skills, there’s a theory out there that Bowser used cloning technology to create Bowser Junior
Bowser is stupid.
You know that speed, abilities and sometimes weapons are also important when it comes to power.
there is no denying Bowser is a prominent leader but I think he gets his loyalty mostly out of fear. again in Bowser's inside story, we see he isn't the brightest but he damn well manages to convince his minions to do his bidding. Mainly by yelling at them so hard they get pushed back 3 feet or so. I believe kamek and maybe some other counselors (perhaps the koopalings) are the real brains behind his creative designs. he is however shown to be at least fairly capable of tactical thinking.
Bowser is powerful enough for fixing the heavy weight archetype in platform fighters games
Bowser would DESTROY sonic in a fight
Of course I like Bowser more but I am not sure he could beat Sonic in a fight. He though DESTROYS Eggman.
@@rexyfromjurassicpark1152 look i know sonic is quite strong bet bowser has multiple others forms and sonic only has super sonic
@@imthecoolest3884 Bowser on his own can only turn giant. Giga Bowser is not canon and Dreamy Bowser/Fury Bowser required external help for him to turn into. But trust me, I am a Bowser fanboy so yeah.
@@rexyfromjurassicpark1152 he could use the supper bell to turn into meowser and he can also turn into dry bowser and super is only multi galaxy level unlike bowser who BASE FORM can survive a super nova stars and BLACK HOLES
@@imthecoolest3884 Bowser survived black holes but he didn't survive the supernova. Rosalina only rebuilt the universe to bring him back.
I think I'd poison the dude's food if I had to take him down.
What does Bowser eat, anyway?
I'm imagining dog food??
He probably eats hefty amounts of humble pie getting shit on by a small Italian plumber day in and day out
how dare you assume your king bowser eats dog food, he only eats the most amazing kinds of meats and deserts, bowsers inside story shows it all
Ask Jack Black
In his Giga or Fury form, Bowser could level cities, destroy planets, even wipe out whole galaxies. Keep in mind, he was able to entrap Rosalina, an actual goddess, and her Observatory. Going at light speed. That’s no small feat.
You didn't even mention craziest feats of Bowser and strongest forms
He built Galaxy Reactor which unleashes a supernova so powerful that it *RESETS* or *REWRITES* the universe
+ when it happened, he survived it with a simple headache, as well as all his minions (even Goombas) AND ROSALINA WASN'T PROTECTING THEM
Created his own Big Bang at Mario Party 5, fought Mario near a freakin' black hole
And his forms, Fury Bowser where he basically invaded the whole world with his ink and everytime he reawakens, rain starts
Castle Bowser, where he bends reality at his will, does whatever he wants to do
And he lost because all he wanted was to give the whole universe a concert rather than capturing Peach or taking over Mushroom Kingdom
And finally, Dreamy Bowser, where he WISHES FOR ANYTHING
Now we should try comparing him to Devil May Cry, Doom, God of War, Sonic The Hedgehog and stuff
This video is making crack up too much 😂-(not denying bowser’s power here-)
But the comedy is just too much-
I’m glad someone finds me funny 😂😂
funnily enough i also got a head cannon that those shackles hes always wearing even in death in his drybones form are also limiters of some kind so on top of everything here were not even seeing the extent of bowser's power for all we know he might not even be using half of it how scary is that
I know this is one year old, but one thing if always noticed, EVERY SINGLE TIME, Mario has had to fight bowser, Mario has always had some sort of power up to fight bowser with, or he’s working in a team, while bowser is just using his own strength and army, except from The recent mario games like 3d world and so on
Powerful enough to take over the world but then get stopped by Mario.
well, mario isn't an ordinary human though. he's more powerful than a superhuman
For the ones that argue that Bowser isnt actually the one constructing or designing all of his machinery...just look at all the design inputs. I mean Neo Bowser City is basically just a giant advertisement, you cant really debate that he at least has input in the layouts and construction processes of his forces.
As for Dry Bowsers, i dont see why he would be a different individual. I mean he doesnt really die in NSWB, sure he looses his skin and all of that but he still keeps going even as a freaking Undead. I mean the only reason he doesnt stand up when he's defeated as Dry Bowser is because fell apart from like a cliff...and seeing how his son was about to "revive" him he probably also dint bother reassembling.
Or at least thats my look on the matter haha.
I agree with a lot of what you have to say here, but Bowser, to me, is not crafty. He's a nearly indestructible power house with a hunger for domination and to, ultimately, become THE king of, not just the koopas, but all the lands, but I'd say his structures aren't crafted by him.. I can see him gathering a shit ton of resources and lugging his castle on his back, but I think the tactical weaponry comes from his devoted minions.
Eggman could kill him.
@@bakedbeans5494 They Didn't Even Talk About Eggman, You Know?
Yeah the thing about Bowser being OP in other universes has merit. Him and DK were guest characters in Skylanders and he is one of the best characters in the game and you in the story of superchargers ( the game you could first play as him ) you fight the embodiment of the evil called the darkness so Bowser OP. All hail the Koopa King.
bowser: *escapes*
Everyone’s *TRUMPET 3! TRUMPET 3!v
i guess one of the way's bowser could be killed is by galeem or dharkon from super smash bros ultimate because there are two "bad" endings you can get by choosing just to kill just one of the two final bosses in world of light in where galeem kills everyone in eternal light or dharkon from eternal darkness
Don't forget that the weight of the universe also collapses on him in galaxy and his access to the dream stone turning him into a god.
Seen from browsers perspective, the end credits roll every time he steals princess peach. Assembling an entire armada in his unruly Kingdom is at least 30hrs gameplay
Don't mind, Joe. Nothing short of a God that can blip Bowser out of existence can kill him
. Me pulls out Steve from what's post details theoretical Limits.
Considering Bowser is a turtle, or at the bare minimum has a LOT of bone making up his mass, calcium and vitamins meant to help with calcium absorption are critical in his diet. Cutting off that supply wouldnt just cripple him, but his entire army of koopas. The other troops might be fine, but the turtles will suffer serious metabolic bone desease after a few years without proper supplementation for the giant amount of bone they have. Their skeletal system would get weak, their shells deform and with Bowsers sheer strength hed probably wind up breaking his own bones from slight over exertion.
Freakin agree, people always talking about "Kirby OP" And "KIrby beats gods", but there's Mario and Bowser right freakin there for over the top Nintendo duo.
this guy had too many mushrooms
It’s a real issue I know..
7:29 - anyone who uses Tourettes Guy audio gets my respect!
Damn classic. My favorite one is the Thanksgiving one where his dad gets mad cause the whole family brought mashed potatoes "What the hell is this?! Shit load of mashed potatoes day?! HUHH?!
That iron ball is around 2.5 times the the eight of bowser who is 725.7 kgs or 1600 pounds (for you over in the west) so that iron ball weighs 1817.2 kgs. God damn
