'''Bowser''', named '''King Koopa''' in some early Western media, is the main villain and arch-nemesis of [[Mario]] throughout most of the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. He is a gigantic turtle-like creature (known as a Koopa) who can breathe a stream of fire, like a [[dragon]]. He is obsessed with [[Princess Peach]], and often kidnaps her, providing a simple premise to several ''Mario'' games. Bowser makes his first appearance in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] game ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

Bowser leads his own army, the [[Koopa Troop]], and his son is [[Bowser Jr.]] In some media, such as the cartoons produced by DiC Entertainment, Bowser also has the seven Koopalings as his children, something that [[Nintendo]] has neglected to maintain, and in an interview with ''Game Informer'' in 2012, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] attempted to retcon this by stating that the Koopalings are not Bowser's children.
