01 – Boswer (Mario Franchise)
Hear this! I will kidnap Peach over and over again until I pull it off! Failure isn’t an option, and neither is giving up! I’ll be back! Mario! Green Sta- I mean… Luigi!”
King Bowser rules over the turtle-like Koopa Troopa race and is constantly striving to expand his kingdom by conquering the Mushroom Kingdom, although his plans are always spoiled by his arch-enemy Mario. He’s in love with Princess Peach Toadstool, and his attempts of conquest always include kidnapping her in one form or another.
Bowser has been tormenting players probably longer than any other character in the medium, his motive is simple and he always fails but you’ve got to admire his persistence.
