| '''Mecha-Bowser''', also known as '''[[Mechakoopa]]''',<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/sunshine/index.html?lang=en English ''Super Mario Sunshine'' entry on the official Mario Portal]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved August 13, 2022. ([https://archive.ph/aHGom Archived] on August 13, 2022, 22:22:41 UTC via archive.today.)</ref> is a huge [[Bowser]]-shaped robot that made its first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It has since made several appearances in some form or another in other games, mostly various spin-offs. It is likely inspired by {{wp|Mechagodzilla}} in appearance. | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| |
| {{main|Mekakuppa}}
| |
| The concept of a robotic ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' Bowser was first used in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''; the robot, [[Mekakuppa]], has the Japanese name of Mecha-Bowser, though both are also shared with the usual name for [[Mechakoopa]]s.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario'' (series)===
| | ==''Paper Mario''== |
| ====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
| | In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Mecha Bowser goes by the name '''Bowser???''', and is controlled by the [[Koopa Bros.]]. However, this version of Mecha Bowser was built very poorly, and as a result, it was defeated very quickly. After the player watches the Koopa Bros. imprison themselves in the [[Bob-omb]]s' cell, he or she can see a picture of [[Princess Peach]] on the bottom part of Mecha-Bowser! |
| In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Mecha-Bowser is found in [[Mecha-Bowser Appears!|Episode 1]] of [[Pinna Park]] and is controlled by [[Bowser Jr.]] To fight it, Mario, riding the park's [[Pinna Park#Roller Coaster|Roller Coaster]], must collect and fire [[water rocket]]s (via [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]) at Mecha-Bowser. Mecha-Bowser attacks by shooting [[Bullet Bill]]s at Mario, and by breathing fire on the Roller Coaster track, which can be doused using FLUDD. After enough hits, the robot explodes, and Bowser Jr. pilots its head away to escape.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy''==== | | === Stats and Tattle Information === |
| {{main|Toy Time Galaxy#Mecha-Bowser}}
| | *'''HP:''' 10 |
| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', a very different design of Mecha-Bowser appears as a planet and environmental boss in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]], where it is the focus of its first mission, [[Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser]].
| | *'''Attack:''' 1 |
| | *'''Defense:''' 1 |
| | *'''Location:''' [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] |
| | *'''Tattle:''' Bowser...? But he looks kind of...lame. I mean, he's lame anyway, but... Does Bowser really look like this? I always imagined him looking, well, a lot scarier. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Golf'' series===
| | ==''Super Mario Sunshine''== |
| While Mecha-Bowser does not physically appear in the series, its name appears on scoreboards in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]''.
| | [[Image:Smsmechabowser.jpg|frame|200px|left|'''Mecha Bowser''' as seen in [[Super Mario Sunshine]]]] |
| | The 2.0 version of Mecha-Bowser was controlled by [[Bowser Jr.]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This version of Mecha Bowser was much more advanced; blasting fire from its mouth and firing [[Bullet Bill]]s from its torso unit. It also was much more massive. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Power Tennis'' / ''New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis''===
| | It also appeared in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', in his 2.0 version. |
| In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and its [[Mario Power Tennis#New Play Control! series|Wii port]], Mecha-Bowser is the boss of the [[Mecha-Bowser Mayhem]] [[minigame]], in which it rotates [[Bowser Castle Court|the court]] and battles players, firing Bullet Bills and [[Bob-omb]]s that can be deflected back at it. Players must attack it with charged tennis balls until it is defeated.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| | {{Boss}} |
| In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Mecha-Bowser is a giant toy on the [[Toy Dream]] board and shoots characters out of a [[cannon]] in its mouth to another location on the board whenever they land on a nearby [[Event Space|? Space]]. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', its head is a feature of [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!]]. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', its head is featured on the [[Bowser Station]] board as a Jackpot Machine. It stores [[Mini Star]]s, and players can earn these stars by playing minigames or by landing on [[Jackpot+ Space]]s.

|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series===
| | [[Category: Items]] |
| In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', when finishing the Bowser Cup with Bowser, Mecha-Bowser replaces [[giant Bowser]] in a boss fight. His tactics are the same as Bowser. The player has to throw [[Black Shell]]s at the pillars supporting Mecha-Bowser to defeat him.
