Super Smash Bros. Impact/Bowser

Bowser is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Impact. He is classified as fighter #14.
Unlike Brawl, Smash 4, and Ultimate, Bowser no longer has the realistic roars, instead, his voice actor, Kenny James' portrayals of him in the Mario games, mainly from main games were repurposed for Impact.

*Fighter ability: Bowser has universal armor against attacks with low knockback, known as Tough Guy. This is most apparent when Bowser has low damage, and it can be amplified by crouching, but not while crawling or attacking. It will decrease as Bowser starts taking more damage.
*Bowser also has damage-based armor on the start-up of his tilts and smash attacks. Each move has a damage threshold: 4% for tilts, 8% for up and down smash, and 10% for side smash. Any attack that is below the indicated percent will be armored, but an attack with a larger percent won't.
*For example, Bowser will armor the first 4 hits of Limit Cross Slash (which deal 3% each) during his up tilt, but the 5th hit (which deals 10%) will launch him. However, Bowser's forward smash will be able to armor even the last hit of Limit Cross Slash.
Bowser can crawl, although due to his crouch not lowering his hurtbox very much it is essentially useless.

===On-screen appearance===
*Emerges from a wall of flames hunched over, before standing up right.
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt: Throws his head back, spinning it in a circle, and roars.
*Side Taunt: Snaps furiously forward three times.
*Down Taunt: Balances precariously on one leg, similar to his teetering animation.
===Idle poses===
*Sways his head backward around while roaring and exhaling steam from his mouth.
*Clenches his fists and performs posterior shoulder stretches while exhaling steam from his nostrils.
===Victory poses===
Victory theme: A music piece based on the same melody as the Mario victory theme, but instead of a standard orchestral arrangement, the piece is played with slightly distorted electric guitars. It also sounds similar to the level clear theme of Bowser's sidequests in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He shares this theme with Bowser Jr. (and the Koopalings) and Piranha Plant.
*Left: Stomps and spreads his arms while roaring.
*Up: Runs into the scene and slashes his claws twice.
*Right: Breathes fire and assumes a pose similar to his render from Smash 4.

Bowser's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 coins. Unlocking Bowser in Elemental World allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic.
Additionally, Bowser makes an appearance in various Primary and Support Spirits.
