Army Analysis: Bowser's Generals

 Background

In addition to lower ranking captains, most segments in Bowser’s army have some kind of de facto General or King. Acting as overall leaders for their species or sub-unit.


King Goomba


The king of the Goombas. King Goomba AKA Goomboss was first made a king with the power of the star rod in Mario 64. He has several abilities.


Goomba summoning

King Goomba can summon smaller Goombas to attack his enemies.


Growth

King Goomba can grow in size as he takes damage.


Dash

King Goomba can run at high speeds and bash into opponents.

Spin kick

Army Hammer Bro

The leader of the “bros” section of Bowser’s army. Army Hammer Bros has all the same abilities as a normal hammer bro, though he can summon more Bros for support during a fight.



General guy

The Leader of the Shy Guys. General guy wields a giant toy mech that can protect him from damage and produce lightning strikes. He can coordinate Shy guys for more complicated acrobatic maneuvers.



King Boo

The leader of the Boo’s and the main villain of the Luigi’s Mansion series. It should be noted that while King Boo has acted on his own, he’s worked under Bowser’s command on multiple occasions(and has been called a minion directly). Making his inclusion as a part of Bowser’s army justified. He has all the powers of normal Boos plus several others. He wears a crown that seems to have properties similar to the Dark Moon artifact found in Luigi’s Mansion 2.


Shape shifting

King Boo can grow himself to giant sizes or change his outer appearance to that of somebody else.

Throw

King Bob-omb can pick up characters and throw them long distances.


Bob-omb summoning

King Bob-omb can summon smaller Bob-ombs to use as explosive projectile attacks. He can also conjure cannons to fire them.


Self detonation

Similar to normal Bob-ombs. King Bob-omb can detonate himself to cause a massive explosion.

A giant Piranha plant that acts as the leader of the Piranha plants. He first appeared in Mario Sunshine, and has aided Bowser in several of his schemes since. His anatomy is far different than most Piranha plants, giving him a host of unique abilities.

Kamek can use magic to telekinetically control platforms and objects from a distance.


Magic Hammer

Misc



Koopalings

The second highest members of Bowser’s entire Army(Below only his son Bowser Jr). The koopalings were originally depicted as Bowser’s biological children, but were retconned into being his most trusted minions. Despite this they clearly still maintain a family like relationship with him, and may as well be considered adopted. Most members of Bowser’s army refer to them as “masters” signifying their overall importance. They all wield magic wands stolen from the kings of various kingdoms across the mushroom world.


Collectively the Koopalings have many “shared” abilities, such as.


Transmutation

The koopalings can transform people into animals or other objects with magic.

All of the koopalings have shells they can duck into for defense. They can also spin in them like a top to bash into opponents.



Fire Breath

All of the Koopalings are capable of breathing fire and spewing fire ball projectiles.


In addition to their general abilities, the various Koopalings also have more individual abilities


Wendy

Wendy can create special bouncing energy ring projectiles. She can also enlarge these projectiles to constrict opponents. Additionally she can split herself into duplicates, has a handheld shield to block attacks, a flying attack drone and ice skates for mobility.


Lemmy

Lemmy can conjure large yellow balls he can balance on and use as a battering ram. He can also conjure smaller yellow balls to use as projectiles, spiked ball projectiles, create bombs, and split himself into duplicates. He also has a rapid spin bash attack.

Ludwig

Ludwig has better magic control than most of the other koopalings, being able to fire more powerful and numerous magic projectiles at once than any other member. His magic projectiles can also home in on opponents. Ludwig can also flutter jump, use “battle cards” to buff his speed/stats, and can create magical disguises to fool opponents. He’s also a known negotiator that can get people to join his side of a fight during a battle.


Scaling and Feats

Bowser's generals downscale from most feats done by Mario and his allies, due to fighting them on various occasions. Refer to the Bowser blog for a longer list of feats regarding this.
