He is the King for a reason. And why all his forces, or most of them, follow him since they actually respect him, and vice versa. In Bowser's Inside Story he was mad he didn't get invited to that meeting about the Bloorbs when it also was affecting his people
@@kristophersy773 there's even a scene in super mario party where Bowser ask why can't the superstar be one of his minions. He wasn't even referring to himself in that scenario, he's showing appreciation to his minions and claiming that they have what it takes to be a superstar which is an extremely high status in the marioverse
don't forget in BIS when bowsers minions got captured he did end up being angry on them for failing but as punishment said he will just have to retrain em, wich personally i find very forgiving considering he lost his entire castle.
Man Bowser is so petty that he'll take his entire army away from a massive battle to try and kill Mario and Luigi. You gotta respect that level of hate and pettiness.
What about origami king.In that game we see the minions take back bowser s castle from the folded soldiers and we see them fight during the air battle scene
@@juleskireeff4563 to be fair this game has a pretty solid implied excuse that they were simply waiting at his castle to carry out his next scheme and didn't get sucked up.
1:56 he's so obsessed. He was winning, and then he got distracted with Mario. Classic Bowser, this is why he never wins. All plains going down the drain the moment he sees that darn plumber.
@@JoseOrquinMora I haven't played the game, only seen bits and clips, but from the look of it... I'd say not, he would've still been barely outlasted by a small margin, but he would've made it far, FAR easier for Mario and Luigi to get to Zokket and beat him. After all, it looked like Bowser didn't have his full army with him because it was an air battle, and a good chunk of his army is ground only. Like, I don't know how para- enemies work, but overall, it looks like his supply of those types of troops is more limited than the rest. Even if the battle was brought to the groud, I doubt that Bowser would bring many group troops to an air battle, it would only weight the airship down. Overall, he would've done some BIG damage, and potentially allowed a critical opening for the bros to use, but he wouldn't have solo-ed Zokket. Honestly though, it's not Bowser's fault, the plumbers are ground fighters, even in the air, they need some sort of platform to use, so it wouldn't make much sense for him to spend so much resources and time in air troops when he can just get more ground ones. That was a battle he wasn't fully prepared for... And he was still kicking ass before he decided to screw it up to attack Mario. Had ne not gotten distracted he MIGHT have won, but even then, it wasn't exactly an even fight. Bowser was still at a disadvantage. A small one, like, 45/55 type of deal, but still a disadvantage anyway. Or maybe he would've steamrolled everyone if he kept his head in the game. Unrelated, but from what I've seen, Bowser is more of a joke character this time around and... Yeah, I'm not sure I'm into that. We need a M&L entry where Bowser is a genuine threat the whole game, regardless of who he's fighting... (And possibly a port of Bowser's inside story, or a new game where you control Bowser... Heck. Maybe even for the whole game with no Mario OR Luigi sections!) (Yeah, I just wanna play as the Koopa King and win, he deserves at least one dub.) (Yes, I'm a bit fan of the Bowser, how could you tell.) Edit: yeah sorry for the rant. I get carried away sometimes
The same case goes with the Blorbs meeting in Peach's castle, even Bowser himself admit it, the moment he sees Mario, bam, no more Mr. Nice guy. All patients and manners are thrown into the wind. But in all honesty, we couldn't fault Bowser's logic in here, since most of the time, whenever the plumbers are involved with whatever his business is, it usually resulted in Bowser's plan being ruined, so by Bowser's logic, Zokket is a problem, yes; but Mario is an even bigger and worse problem.

[[Spoilers]] I really like Bowser's portrayal in this game. As much as I love Bowser in the other Mario RPGs, he often feels like too much of a goober idiot to be capable of some of the stuff Bowser has done in mainline (especially Galaxy) when he isn't the main villain (or protagonist in BIS's case). But this showing of the character feels like he's taken pretty seriously as a threat while still being silly, all while not even being the main villain. It's also nice to see his softer side given quite a bit of emphasis this time around with his minions, especially his son and surprisingly Starlow to an extent, though it makes sense after BIS. As funny and cool as it is when he quickly teams up with Mario in some of the other RPGs, I like that he never really feels like he's on anyone's side but his own while still being an active player, it gives the conflict of the story another layer besides Team Good Guy vs. Team Bad Guy. Also helps that he has 2 areas and a cool boss fight all to himself. Even when he gets tricked and used by Zokket, they needed 4 lighthouses worth of Glohm to corrupt him and I don't think I need to defend him getting bitchslapped by Weeping Reclusa, since he seems to be close to if not literally invincible on the outside and causes people to pass out just from his presence. All in all, this portrayal of Bowser feels like the perfect mixture of his serious and goofy portrayals, this feels like a main villain Bowser role in a game where he isn't the main villain and I really like that.
He’s come a long way in the M&L series. SS & PiT: a comical villain BIS: the villain protagonist DT: the true antagonist PJ: the main antagonist BS: still a serious threat
i love how bowser wants to take over a world he just arrived into, in the middle of a battle and then tries killing mario and luigi at the same time. bowser sure can be crazy! i also like how bowser immediately was causing chaos again at the ending XD he needs to chill, but bowser is bowser. a loveable villain to me
Note that the vortex to Concordia responds to strong bonds like with Mario and Luigi at the start, then one appeared right above Bowser's ship. Bowser has twofold bonds, as a loving father to his son and the king to his loyal minions.
@@LupineHumbleMediaGenius ooh this is a pipe dream but I want our Mii characters to be one of his captains since he basically deemed us to be his minions in Mario golf world tour.
Would be real funny if it had a Saitama-like mechanic where if the battle gets too hard you can always send Bowser to do in three seconds what his entire batallion couldn't in an entire match
9:47 is the reason why the bowser boss fight is one of my all time favorite as well as why bowser is one of my all time favorite characters. He has so much expression and life, so much personality, i loved how over time Bowser has evolved into more of a rival than an evil villain. His presence is refreshing.
@@jeepercreepers9 She still called him “The other one” when talking to Bowser, but I think that’s only because she wasn’t with Bowser when he called Luigi by name instead of “Green ‘stache”
The one thing you missed out in Glohm Bowser's boss fight was the Luigi logic sequence beacause you beaten him too fast. But even if you were patient about it you still need to be careful on how you do it in order to deal a lot of damage to Glohm Bowser
If this were a pokemon game, that entire war sequence cutscene would've just been a black screen with some explosion sound effects LMAO nah but Bowser's army putting in work was something I didn't expect, but am pleasantly surprised by
(Spoiler-Filled Comment Warning, though I don't know why you're here if you cared about Spoilers) (Second Spoilers, part of this is just me geeking out over how cool Bowser is in this game, and I just ramble on basically just explaining the cutscenes) (Third Spoiler, LONG COMMENT WARNING) I love how much of a nuisance Bowser is to the game's primary antagonists, not just to Mario and Luigi. He appears in Concordia, alongside at the very least a large portion of the invading force he had during the beginning cutscene, the rest being scattered across the Brrrning and Gulchrock Seas. Immediately he establishes a base, as well as dominance over the latter mentioned ocean. Eventually, he happens across Zokket. Stick two Big Villains in one world, pretty soon there'll only be one. Zokket's largely been steamrolling the world by this point, Concordia having little to no defenses against his abilities. He faced no resistance. Then the Great Conductor brought Mario and Luigi, plus everyone else to Concordia, and suddenly there was resistance. Suddenly Zokket's plans met a roadblock. A common occurrence with Zokket is his staunch refusal to remember anyone's names, shown repeatedly with the Extension Corps and a few times with Mario and Luigi, and made clear with his statement. So the fact that Zokket, literally 14 seconds later, mentions Bowser by name, correctly... Bowser's been a pretty big problem for his plans, a "Constant Thorn in his side" as he puts it. It's not even a slip up on his part, considering he immediately messes up on Mario and Luigi's names just seconds later. Not only that, but the Extension Corps had been trying to beat Mario and Luigi for a lot of the game at this point, or at the very least impede their efforts enough so they wouldn't interfere with Zokket's plan, only to fail every step of the way. Bowser on the other hand, after spotting them on accident in the middle of a skirmish between his army and Zokket's, proceeded to do more to sabotage them in like half a minute than the Extension Corps DO over the course of the entire game up until this point. The Extension Corps themselves, in an attempt to get stop Bowser from being a problem, decided to kidnap Junior as leverage to keep Bowser away. They had to wait until Mario and Luigi had beaten Bowser to even attempt at kidnapping, which means that despite being confident in their own abilities (Ten does at least), they were well aware that in a straight fight they would be destroyed by Bowser. And in the end the leverage didn't even work, Bowser immediately went rampaging after them, all the way to the top of Zokket's fortress and effortlessly stomping Zokket's forces to do so. If he hadn't been blasted by the combined forces of four Glohm powered Lighthouses (Zokket himself refused to use the Glohm ray, calling it a half measure and saying it wouldn't work), Zokket may have had a serious problem, and major beef with the Extension Corps for not only bringing his biggest problem right to his doorstep but making him very angry. Moving on from Zokket to the game's actual Big Bag, Reclusa. Reclusa doesn't have much interaction with Bowser up until the end, which is unfortunate because I would've loved to see them talking to one another. Reclusa has Mario and Luigi on the ropes, steadily overwhelming them until attempting to finally finish them off, nearly doing so until BAM. Bowser appears and completely destroys the small army Reclusa summoned. It's not as grand as what he does to Zokket's forces, but it's cool nonetheless. I'd also like to take this time to point out the construction and capability of that dang Airship that came with Bowser, that thing outright TANKED a blast from Zokket's fortress (1:34 to 1:44) and was completely fine, given that it appeared seconds later to shoot cannonballs at Shipshape. It took Reclusa-Controlled Solitree hitting it with Glohm energy to begin to take it down and a backhand to send it and Bowser flying, a GIANT, MAGICAL TREE. And finally I want to bring up, as a kind of honorary mention. On OffandOn Island, once you're able to go into the area with people in it, a few people have interesting things to say regarding Bowser. The Koopa Troop obviously have praise for their King, and the Concordians of this island speak of being left in awe by his presence, but there's one curious elderly folk in the back who has quite the truth to tell. OffandOn Island is a difficult place to live, the actual area itself probably relying on outside influences to make life easier while Concordia was still connected, but on it's own, it's a difficult place to live. The island can barely support life, not many plants can grow, and most of the natural creatures there are stone. The only sign of "edible" food there are the turnips. All this hardship of course is made much more difficult once Concordia was split and Zokket's forces invaded, they were in a pretty rough spot. Then Bowser's army show up and chased off Zokket's, and one of the first things they did was start distributing food to them, which is pretty heartwarming. And while they do have a guy locked up, it's because he was stealing some of that food. I love Bowser in this game.
A great analysis, although just a heads up that all of the timestamps are completely wrong. They all show the same cutscenes on Offandon Island rather than the cutscenes you were referring to.

@@ragnar8786 Whoops. Yeah coming back to this comment I can see how it looks like I was saying the Death Battle one was just better. Not what I meant to say
@@williammay6238 I like that they didn’t just do that, I don’t even think he mentions Peach. I assume either he never noticed her/didn’t think she got sucked up in Concordia or was too caught up dealing with being in a new world, building a new castle, fighting Zokket and the Bros.
Bowser: What's with the pig? Snoutlet: I'm not a pig! Bowser: YES, YOU ARE!!!!!!! (Bowser scares Snoutlet in anger when heard Snoutlet says "I'm not a pig")
Seeing Bowser’s army fight Zokket’s army has now suddenly made me wish for another new main villain for the Mario series just so we could see them fight against each other every now and then. Then again maybe it could be done quite easily actually by bringing back King K Rool, since he is in the same universe as Bowser. Not to mention it would be cool to see them fight against each other.
I hate they don't make Bowser really a villain anymore. He's more of a rival at best when he's often taken over by another villain or has to team up to be a hero. This may be one of the few games he was actually a villain. I do get it eventually gets boring if hes the major antagonist in every single game but they're just making him like Dedede.
Thing is, they already kinda canonized that Bowser and Mario are chill whenever it's not a "Bowser is up to some bullshit, we gotta kick his ass" day (to me it's honestly one of my favorite aspects of Bowser, I love how he's both Mario's arch nemesis and also his friend depending on his mood, really makes him stand out from other villains). I don't think he's like Dedede at all to be honest. Dedede is not a bad guy really, he may be a bit too gluttonous and idiotic but in the end most of the times he plays the roll of "villain" he's being forced to do so by an external force. On the other hand, Bowser is a straight up asshole, it's just that he actually really loves his army and for some reason Mario sees him as his friend and invites him to his spin offs but other than that, he's still a villain

(I did make the comment originally though, I didn’t just steal someone else’s comment without giving credit)
I’ll change it real quick though
After this game, I am very confident that if Mario and Luigi just didn't exist, Bowser would actually be a very good and respected leader.
Man that Death Battle did a great job displaying Bowser’s army it’s extremely similar to how Brothership portrays Bowser’s leadership
Well his leadership is shown here too. He did almost not make it into the portal because he made sure those two Goombas got in first.
@@ragnar8786 Whoops. Yeah coming back to this comment I can see how it looks like I was saying the Death Battle one was just better. Not what I meant to say
That battle against Zokket's castle has to be up there as one of the most cinematic moments in any Mario game.
1:56 I like how Mario doesn’t even jump in fear, it’s like he just Nows its bowser.
It looks like Bowser, Bowser Jr and the minions didn't seem to kidnapped princess peach this time
It's a miracle. A one day break from kidnapping the Princess
Who needs to kidnap princesses but conquer anything he desires!
@@williammay6238 I like that they didn’t just do that, I don’t even think he mentions Peach. I assume either he never noticed her/didn’t think she got sucked up in Concordia or was too caught up dealing with being in a new world, building a new castle, fighting Zokket and the Bros.
This and origami king have some of the best potrails of bowser jr and bowser s minions
And in both games bowser helps out in the final fight
And Bowser himself
Also Minion Quest (sometimes)
30:54 Reclusa really said “Shut yo goofy ahh up”
I still love that Bowser Jr has his own little throne next to his dad's.
I just witnessed this cutscene 0:15 - 2:44
And it felt like a whole World War scene. holy crap.
I can’t believe they managed to find a way to make me feel guilty over beating the crap out of Bowser.
saame he couldn't save his son immediately cause we beat him up.
Bowser: What's with the pig?
Snoutlet: I'm not a pig!
Bowser: YES, YOU ARE!!!!!!! (Bowser scares Snoutlet in anger when heard Snoutlet says "I'm not a pig")
7:08 That's a really big c a t right there.
🐱7:07🥒
BOWSER IS SO BASED
This game is really awesome
31:36 this part where Bowser throws the two Goombas in the portal made me love him even more 🧡
0:00 0:18 Sweet, they brought back the OLE NSMB Airship!!
YAY MARIOGLUIGI BROTHERSHIP!
I swear, Nintendo needs to have another game to play as Bowser again
Love how Starlow cares about Bowser.
24:31 Mario And That Other Guy
1st BOWSER FORGETS LUIGI'S NAME AND NOW STARLOW TOO⁉️
No Starlow does it out of teasing. Bowser has not said "Green Stache" in this game
I like that this is the dream team continuity cus bowser refers to luigi as luigi
Seeing Bowser’s army fight Zokket’s army has now suddenly made me wish for another new main villain for the Mario series just so we could see them fight against each other every now and then. Then again maybe it could be done quite easily actually by bringing back King K Rool, since he is in the same universe as Bowser. Not to mention it would be cool to see them fight against each other.
10:44 Woah when did bowser turn super Saiyen when he gets mad-
Bruh. When I tell you a said the same thing. I said "TF!? When he learn super saiyan!?"🤣🤣🤣
One of the only times bowser helped Mario
He didn’t help them, he was going in for payback.
I hate they don't make Bowser really a villain anymore. He's more of a rival at best when he's often taken over by another villain or has to team up to be a hero. This may be one of the few games he was actually a villain.
I do get it eventually gets boring if hes the major antagonist in every single game but they're just making him like Dedede.
Thing is, they already kinda canonized that Bowser and Mario are chill whenever it's not a "Bowser is up to some bullshit, we gotta kick his ass" day (to me it's honestly one of my favorite aspects of Bowser, I love how he's both Mario's arch nemesis and also his friend depending on his mood, really makes him stand out from other villains).
I don't think he's like Dedede at all to be honest. Dedede is not a bad guy really, he may be a bit too gluttonous and idiotic but in the end most of the times he plays the roll of "villain" he's being forced to do so by an external force. On the other hand, Bowser is a straight up asshole, it's just that he actually really loves his army and for some reason Mario sees him as his friend and invites him to his spin offs but other than that, he's still a villain
@@mdsystems4463 Dedede's more of an egotistical bully than a threat.
1:56 Ok. It's official. Bowser totally has an obsession for Mario and Luigi. Even so he wouldn't even care about Peach anymore.

So bowser does have something to do with the true villains, but this time, he’s not the final boss
Why Bowser Shooting Attack Mario Luigi!!! 1:55
Because bowser wants them destroyed
I forgot in bis he would call starlow chippy, good references
You made Glohm Bowser look easy
7:07 and 24:25 when the MC’s nemesis has more respect for the brother than the traveling companion
M&L fandom’s dislike for Starlow is well justified
That poor Shy Guy
31:38 is it just me or I heard the song who will know from the shin Godzilla movie
A blue shelled koopa, that rare!
29:59 „wow“
Kaioken Bowser 16:31
24:14 THAT WASNT EVEN REALLY FIVE SECOND CHIPPY-
The Bros have a ZA WURDO attack!!!
Around 8:30, RIP shyguy.
“Just what I needed”
eu adorei o bowser capturando o mario
no Bowser Theme for when he appears? aw man...
are you gonna do a Mario & Luigi Brothership video of all the scenes of Ecks, Ten and Shun? I'm curious if they had a bond moment
every attack seems so overpowered in this game snd why even battle if the enemy doesnt even take a turn
After finishing the game i can tell you this guy is way overleveled
Why do mario fans hate this game?

Why is bowser follow mr green and red dudes?
Why are his arms so long
I watched a walkthrough and the moment he showed up, he ruined it.
They made bowser look like an Idiot again....
And I'm NOT Happy!!!😠
Bowser is not nor he ever was an idiot amigo lol.
Bruh do you not know anything about the character or something lol?
So bowser does have something to do with the true villains, but this time, he’s not the final boss
