Revision as of 17:17, 22 December 2015

Hammer Slam Bowser, otherwise known as Bowser, is the Koopa King and a special Skylander-amiibo hybrid, along with Turbo Charge Donkey Kong, who is one of the Fire SuperChargers in Skylanders: SuperChargers. His signature vehicle is the Clown Cruiser. He is only playable on Nintendo consoles and is available only in the Wii and 3DS Starter Packs.

Background

Personality

Being one of Nintendo's most iconic antagonists, Bowser was very tyrannical; cruel, ruthless, and oppressive, he was willing to do anything it took to defeat his former nemesis (arch nemesis at the time) Mario, and capture his love interest (girlfriend at the time) Princess Peach. Now as a SuperCharger, Bowser is a trustworthy warrior; courageous, selfless, and loyal to those who can't help themselves. He is still sinister, but in a good way (very similar to the SWAP Force Skylander, Rattle Shake). He also tends to assume himself leader of the SuperChargers in Spitfire's absence.

Biography

Bowser is the king of the Koopas and believes himself to be the supreme, unquestioned ruler of a kingdom far from Skylands. A hot-tempered and spiky-shelled warrior, he was transported to Skylands by traveling through a rift that had been created by Kaos' terrible Sky Eater. The Skylanders sent out a distress call across all the dimensions to call for reinforcements, and for reasons known only to Bowser himself, he has decided to join this epic battle against Kaos and the Darkness in his Clown Cruiser as the newest and most lethal of all the SuperChargers!

Story

Unexpected Allies

When Kaos cut off the connection between the Portals in Skylands, Mags' distress signal was not only able to reach all of Skylands but to other worlds as well. Both Bowser and Donkey Kong were transported to Skylands through a rift where they were soon attacked by a gang of pirates lead by Captain Blubberbeard. During the battle, they discovered two Rift Engines nearby and touched them, transforming into SuperChargers. With their newfound powers, Bowser and Donkey Kong defeated the pirates and drove them away. Skylanders, Bone Bash Roller Brawl and Lava Lance Eruptor, discovered the two newcomers and brought them back to the Skylanders Academy where Buzz explained what was happening to Skylands. At first Bowser wasn't willing to help out, as he believed that since Skylands isn't his world, it wasn't his and Donkey Kong's fight. Buzz soon noted that if Kaos succeeds in ruling Skylands, Bowser's world would be in danger as well. With an enhanced Clown Cruiser to seal the deal, Bowser decided to join the battle against Kaos as a SuperCharger.

Relationships

Donkey Kong

The former Koopa tyrant and the primate hero were sworn enemies. Now together as Skylanders, they are in good terms with one another, as evident when Bowser was defensive of his associate during their confrontation with Blubberbeard and his pirates. Browser also now considers Donkey Kong as a valuable ally and friend.

Equipped with a large, fire-infused hammer, Bowser can land devastating blows on his enemies. He can also summon Koopas, Warp Pipes, and transform into Molten Bowser.
