Bowser

Bowser, Mario's archenemy, returns in smash after being in Super Smash Bros. Melee. First appearing in Super Mario Bros. Bowser grew to be quite the popular boss for the Mario series.

Bowser's moveset remains mostly the same from the Melee version.

Bowser's Whirling Fortress is his best move, also the best out of shield option in the game. Bowser's next most useful move would be his jab attack, which is a great "get off me" move. These moves along with the flying slam (used in the air) and his Forward air should be your main attacks. If Bowser gets a grab in, it is very important to not throw the opponent. Keep bashing the grabbed opponent until they break free, which lets you get a free jab in (10%), or a dash grab. You can even mix it up by jabbing only once and dash grab.

Right nunchuk+B button Right dpad+1 button Right lstick+B button Right control+B button Flying Slam Bowser grabs the opponent, jumps up into the air and slams them down to ground. This attack is best used in the air, and should be one of Bowser's main attacks. The attack can be slightly controlled depending on the hit percentage. A good method is to do it off the edge, throwing your opponent down before you. It can be used as a Suicide move as you'll win if you and the opponent both have 1 stock left.
Up nunchuk+B button Up dpad+1 button Up lstick+B button Up control+B button Whirling Fortress Bower 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.

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.

Final Smash

Giga Bowser Transformation

Giga Bowser Transformation: Bowser transforms into Giga Bowser (from Super Smash Bros. Melee) temporarily, making him bigger, stronger, fiercer, and nearly invincible. If Giga Bowser is hit, even with a smash attack, there will be no knockback, but he still takes damage as normal. Many of his attacks now do noticably more damage and his smash attacks now have elemental properties ranging from Ice, Fire, Shadow, and Lightning. The transformation in its entirety lasts from 12-16 seconds.
