Bowser is the main antagonist in most of the Super Mario Bros games and made his debut back in 1985 on the NES as the boss of every castle stage in the first Mario Bros platformer game.

He returned later as the final boss often and made it also in many crossover games like Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. and some of the Mario Sports games. Bowser is still one of the most known video game antagonists. There are a few variations of him now including Dry Bowser and Baby Bowser from Super Mario World 2.
