'''Bowyer''' is a commander of the [[Smithy Gang]] in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Switch remake]].

When a person is hit with an arrow, they will become paralyzed and remain frozen like statues. His Aero minions found the second [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]] in the forest. | ||
When Bowyer gets the Star Piece, he is confronted by a strange, blue garbed warrior named [[Geno]]. At the same time, [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] arrive to stop Bowyer, the source of the arrows plaguing Rose Town. As a result, the three warriors team up to battle the maniacal monster. | When Bowyer gets the Star Piece, he is confronted by a strange, blue garbed warrior named [[Geno]].

Additionally, Bowyer can [[Fourth wall|disable the buttons on the player's controllers]], meaning that Mario and his allies [[Prohibited Command|will be prevented from using regular attacks, special attacks, or items]] until another button is disabled. In the remake, Bowyer also disables [[Toad Assist]] as well as one of the commands and when Bowyer's HP runs low, he disables all of the buttons at once, forcing Mario, Mallow and Geno to use a Triple Move to finish him off. Once Bowyer is defeated, Mario, Mallow and Geno recover the second Star Piece. | ||
Later, Mario, Mallow, Geno, [[Bowser]], and [[Princess Peach]] encountered several [[Machine Made|mass-produced Bowyer copies]] in the [[Weapon World]]. | Later, Mario, Mallow, Geno, [[Bowser]], and [[Princess Peach]] encountered several [[Machine Made|mass-produced Bowyer copies]] in the [[Weapon World]]. | ||

After dealing significant damage, Bowyer, realizing that he's likely going to lose against Geno, Mario, and Mallow, fires three Aeros at all the buttons, thus effectively disabling the party from attacking him or even healing. However, Geno suggests they team up with their combined might via a Triple Move, with Bowyer initially intending to respond in kind until he realizes he doesn't have any allies to do so. He then collapses into a heap after the Triple Move is used against him before vanishing. | ||
