Sour Bunch Cowboy

The Sour Bunch Cowboy is a boss from Princess Peach: Showtime!. He is an outlawed cowboy who pops up in the level Cowgirl in the Wilderness. He was sent to take over the associated play with his posse, which is based on the Wild West. Princess Peach gets her hands on the cowboy costume to cleanse the play of his foul influence and chases him and his posse on a horse of her own.
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
The Sour Bunch Cowboy resembles a cowboy with a typical cowboy outfit. He is really tall, being about 25% to 50% taller than Princess Peach herself is, meaning he is around double Mario's height. His colour scheme is dark purple and dark blue, and his hat is brown with white bull horns, making him slightly resemble an actual cow.
=== Personality ===
Not much of the Sour Bunch Cowboy's personality can be gleaned easily, other than him being loyal to Madame Grape's cause. His pre-battle dialogue shows that he is impressed with how persistent Princess Peach was as she chased him and his posse.
== Battle ==
The Sour Bunch cowboy attacks by shooting, though Princess Peach can use a lasso to capture the barrels that appear in his arena and smashing his head with them. After she does so, he will be stunned. This gives her time to capture the cowboy himself and smash him into one of the three wooden walls at the north end of the arena, dealing major damage. For every 1/3 of a full bar his health goes down, the Sour Bunch Cowboy gets angrier, charging at full speed and using the horns on his head as spears to impale the princess. He will also shoot more times during his gun attack.
==Trivia==
*Ironically, the Sour Bunch Figure Skater has the same leitmotif despite being fought in a completely different setting to him (The Figure Skater is fought in figure skating rinks while the Cowboy is in the desert) and bearing a different personality.
