First Appearance

Into the Fourth Dimension

King Dowser Koopa, also known and simply as Dowser, is the 4th dimension counterpart of Bowser and king of the Roopas. He was introduced in the 6th episode of MarioMario54321's Super Mario 64 Bloopers movie Into the Fourth Dimension where he appeared as an obscured, shadowed figure. Dowser didn't fully appear until the end of the 7th episode where he appeared, still unnamed, in the last 9 seconds of the episode, exclaiming to the viewer "Expect me to cause trouble for everyone in the next part!". Staying true to his word, Dowser did indeed cause trouble by prohibiting Mario from collecting the D-Stars of Shark Plant Pond. Dowser was eventually subdued by Mario thanks to MarioMario54321's fans, who collected enough D-Stars to overpower the D-Stars that Dowser was using to protect himself from Mario's attacks.

Appearances[]

Into the Fourth Dimension[]

Through the majority of Into the Fourth Dimension, Dowser is a minion of Dimentio. During his time as a laky Dowser performs several tasks for Dimentio, including capturing Shark Plant Pond, subduing and capturing Mario, and aiding in the takedown of MarioMario54321. Dowser also guards Dimentio's strongholds, like Mini Castle Bleck. He was so dedicated to Dimentio that he even converted his Dimensional Swamp into a stronghold, where him and his Jaws Plants guard the key to 4D Tower. However, his loyalty to Dimentio is broken when Dimentio reveals his "True Plan" in the 16th episode. Disgusted by Dimentio's "True Plan" Dowser welcomes the hero's into his Lava Falls, thus allowing the heroes to collect the D-Stars he keeps locked away there. Despite seemingly turning a new leaf and helping Mario and crew however, when Dimentio reveals that his "True Plan" was a lie in the series finale, Dowser's greed gets the better of him and he joins Dimentio once again. Dowser, of course, has once again fallen for one of Dimentio's tricks, and nearly as soon as he joins Dimentio's side Dimentio overpowers Dowser, fusing with him to become Dowmentio. Once Mario defeats Dowmentio, Dowser is seen being launched off into the abyss of space, marking the last time Dowser would appear in Into the Fourth Dimension.

5 is Real[]

Despite being launched into the endless abyss of space without his clown car, Dowser appears once again in 5 is Real where he briefly tries to stop Mario from attaining the Replica D-Star that rests in Dowser's Dimensional Swamp. However, for the dramatic entrance Dowser has, Mario defeats him simply by long jumping around him, leaving Dowser to contemplate briefly before the scene transitions away and Dowser is never seen again.

Back to the Fourth Dimension[]

Dowser appears again in the retroactively non-canon series Back to the Fourth Dimension alongside his son Dowser Jr.. The duo make up the major antagonistic force for much of the series.

Trivia[]

  • Dowser was named as such because D is the fourth letter of the alphabet, fitting with the theme of 4 that many fourth dimensional counterparts use, but also because D was commonly used in Into the Fourth Dimension to abbreviate the word dimension.
  • Dowser's armbands appear black in all artwork recolor appearances of the character, as well as the in-game appearance Dowser makes in Back to the Fourth Dimension. However, for the brief instance Dowser appears in the intro to the first episode of Dark Star X: The Final Attack, Dowser's armbands, though dark, appear green. A noteworthy continuity error.
  • Unlike Bowser, Dowser's skin and shell are reversed from his Roopa minions, with his skin being purple and his shell being red, as opposed to the Roopa's, whose skin is red and shell purple.
