-Bowser, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

History[]
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[]
In Kingdom Battle, Bowser takes a vacation for the majority of the game, leaving Bowser Jr. to lead the Koopa Troop in his absence (although Bowser does call his son at one point asking if he has done his homework and assures that Junior is not throwing a party). During Bowser's absence, the Rabbids are transported to the Mushroom Kingdom due to Spawny's actions. Bowser Jr. ends up befriending Spawny and abusing his power of fusing things together to create an army of Rabbid-fused enemies, intending to take over the Mushroom Kingdom and make his father proud upon his return. As Mario's team (itself consisting of four Rabbids) defeat the Rabbid-fused enemies, the Megabug, a vortex that appeared above the Mushroom Kingdom upon the Rabbids' entry, increases in size. Eventually, the Megabug grows large enough to obtain a physical, phoenix-like form, which absorbs Spawny and flies off to Bowser's Castle, creating more Rabbid-fused enemies in the process. Immediately after, Bowser texts his son, revealing that he has decided to come home early. Knowing what will happen to Bowser, Junior hurries to the castle, and Mario's group follow. Upon Mario's group's arrival, Bowser is at the castle, although barely conscious and near the Megabug. The Megabug fuses with Bowser, creating MegaDragonBowser, and proceeds to attack Mario's group. MegaDragonBowser is defeated, causing Bowser and the Megabug to separate. With the threat averted, Junior attempts to convince Mario's group to be chastised in his place after Bowser regains consciousness. However, they decline.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope[]
Bowser returns in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, this time as one of the nine playable characters in the game. He wields a weapon called the Bowzooka, a giant bazooka-like weapon that fires flaming rocks. He is able to summon target-seeking Rabbid Mechakoopas.
Bowser is unlocked during the fight against Bedrock, the main boss of Palette Prime. His army was corrupted by Cursa and he has no choice but to join Mario and his friends to defeat her.
