Bowser needs his own game.

Bowser Bacon. Yum. Or Midbus. Take your pick.

Bowser does deserve his own game, it would be fun no matter what it is (Unless it's called Hotel Bowser).

Now, about Bowser's personality...

The fact that he's a villain and will ultimately lose is fine, but losing in the same manner by doing the same thing is dumb to me, no matter what motive is behind it. The fact that he literally gives Mario a way to beat him is just, well, stupid. (A switch that makes the bridge fall down? Come on.)

There have been plenty of times he's fought Mario without needing assistance there have been plenty of other things he's beaten as well.

The only time he suffers from too similar syndrome is with the NSMB series and I blame more the developers than him. He's had a variety of different schemes and tactics over the years, using new abilties, vehicles, magical artifacts etc etc.

As for the ''press the button to win'' since nobody ever mentions them in-universe I always imagined it being gameplay story segregation.

Either that or its one of those weird Mario things you are just not meant to think about.
 
Bowser has never beat Mario without using someone or something. (Correct me if there is more than one account of when this has happened.) He has used multiple things to beat Mario, they are usually in spin-offs, but still don't help him win. He just can't seem to beat Mario on his own. And the idea (tactic) of kidnapping the same girl form the same kingdom with the same guy beating him makes Bowser seem a bit, um, I don't know what word to use.

Why he can turn giant or invincible and then still can't just lunge at Mario and insta-kill him is weird, especially when it's happened numerous times (NSMB series, Paper Mario series, Galaxy 2) Putting a guy on a small planet and getting your hand stuck in it many times while not improving it much is also a lame idea, why not just crush the planet, throw it into the abyss or make the path impossible to cross then attack? Nintendo really need to make Bowser more believable.

I guess you could blame the castle architects for the bad bridge design.
 
Well no, he's never beaten Mario. But look at it this way. In the main games Mario has technically never beaten Bowser in a straight fight, He always wins of course but its always by using his environment or using Bowser's own attacks against him. Bowser is just that naturally strong that Mario needs to do that. Frankly adult Bowser really shouldn't have to grow giant to fight effectively but they do that anyway because its theoretically intimidating, it makes sense when he's a baby but for being an adult he really shouldn't need to do that.

Plus despite losing all the time its implied at least that Mario has to earn the victory from him.

As for simply crushing them, well thats applying more logic to things than the series was ever designed to have.
 
I don't know but I think this is over-analyzing this a bit too much

it's a simple game where the good guy wins and the bad guy loses. easy as that.

How about in the RPGs? I mean, like Paper Mario?

Mario usually has allies there so Bowser is outnumbered.

It's not like OMG Bowser is zerg rushed though.

And Mario did beat Bowser in that tutorial battle in Superstar Saga WITHOUT Luigi's help. :P

Bowser wasn't outnumbered in any of the M&L RPGs, and Bowser was basically invincible in Paper Mario, Dream Team and Sticker Star. And for a Paper Mario game, Sticker Star didn't even have a partner required to beat him. (If you're think Kersti, it's still pretty easy to beat Bowser without her)

Same here. It's somehow fun.
 
At the end of PM its Mario, Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Bow, Watt, Sushi, and Lakilester along with the star spirits and Peach's wi
