Fury Bowser

Fury Bowser, called the beast by the Giga Bells, is the form that Bowser assumes in the Bowser's Fury mode of , serving as the main antagonist. He bears a strong resemblance to Black Bowser from , being black and coated in a paint-like substance. He is significantly larger in this form, and has larger spikes on his shell, more spikes on his arm bands, and a more realistic-sounding roar that is comparable to Bowser's voice in the Super Smash Bros. series. It is implied by Bowser Jr.'s paintings during the credits of the mode that he unintentionally turned his father into Fury Bowser by covering him in black paint, furthering the aforementioned connection to Black Bowser.
In Bowser's Fury, Fury Bowser resides in the center of Lake Lapcat, in a dormant state. As time passes, he will eventually start to rise from the water. When he is about to appear, Lake Lapcat will begin raining, and an ominous theme will begin playing in the background. When he does appear, darkness will shroud Lake Lapcat as it continues raining, and Fury Bowser will begin pursuing Mario and Bowser Jr. Fury Bowser can breathe a large stream of flames at Mario, who must take cover behind an object to avoid it, and he can also breathe several fireballs into the air, which fall downward and create pools of fire when they land. When Fury Bowser is present, several spikes will plunge into the ground, which can serve as platforms or cover from his fire. Fury Bowser will eventually return to his dormant state after a short time, though he can be repelled early by collecting a Cat Shine. That said, Fury Bowser is needed to collect some Cat Shines hidden behind Fury Blocks, which can only be destroyed by his fire breath. While Fury Bowser is present, the Kittens that reside in Lake Lapcat will also turn dark, and become enemies.
By restoring power to the Giga Bell, Mario can collect it to become Giga Cat Mario, allowing him to battle Fury Bowser head-on. Fury Bowser uses the same attacks he uses normally, but also has more abilities, such as spinning in his shell and leaping into the air to try and land on Mario, creating a fiery shockwave. Mario can attack Fury Bowser by swiping at him or throwing the large spikes that appear at him, but he takes the most damage from a Ground Pound after his slamming attack. Once he is defeated with a specific area's Giga Bell, the next area of Lake Lapcat will rise from the water. After collecting all 100 Cat Shines and facing Fury Bowser again, his hair and eyebrows will become white rather than the usual red.
