Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Bowser (Project M)

Mario's long-known rival, the king of Koopas, is ready to make his grand entrance into PM as a bigger and better version of his Melee and Brawl selves combined.

Bowser in Project M is who you expect him to be; he is the heaviest character in the game who exchanges large amounts of speed for tremendous power.

With all of the buffs Bowser has received, he has become a much more dangerous foe to compete against than in Melee and Brawl. His side special, Koopa Klaw, when aimed downwards, is a good tool for tech-chasing when using the grounded version, as when performed, Bowser throws his opponent to the ground and meteor smashes them, rendering them vulnerable to follow-ups that you can take the opportunity to perform should they fail to tech. On the other hand, the aerial version of the move is able to spike opponents, making it one of Bowser's best edgeguarders in the game.

 * Tripping Lunge||Running headbutt.

Special Attacks

 * Fire Breath|| Bowser lets out a large stream of fire that will decrease in length the longer you use it.
 * Koopa Klaw||His side special from Melee, Bowser grabs the opponent, and can throw them forwards, backwards, or downwards (but not as Giga Bowser). The aerial version of the down throw spikes aerial opponents. The forward throw launches opponents vertically and can combo. The back throw is a strong KO move at high percents. If no one is grabbed, Bowser does a forceful vertical swipe.
 * Whirling Fortress||Bowser retreats in his shell and rapidly spins around, similar to DK's Spinning Kong. This is Bowser's best move.  Abuse this as much as possible, and remember to use this out of shield.
 * Bowser Bomb||Bowser's version of a butt-stomp, he will decend to the ground quickly to pummel anyone under him. If Bowser is in midair when using this move, he slams to the ground with a butt-stomp. If he's on the ground doing this, he will leap forward diagonally before performing the move, it's possible to hit the opponent with the initial jump. Similar to Yoshi's Down B only stronger, with no stars.
