Bowser/Appearances/Yoshi franchise

==In Yoshi's Cookie==
In both the Game Boy and Super Nintendo Entertainment System versions, Bowser is one of the four playable characters in VS Mode, along with Mario, Peach, and Yoshi. Bowser has the highest attack of the four, but his other stats are average. In the Super Nintendo version, the second player's Bowser can be distinguished from having a blue body.
The Nintendo Puzzle Collection version features a story mode. While Mario and Yoshi are resting as they are delivering Yoshi Cookies, Bowser appears and steals the cookies. When they awake, they go after him. Bowser is faced on stage seven on every difficulty, as the final enemy in the game. He is defeated after beating him three times out of five.
==In Yoshi's Safari==
Bowser and the Koopalings invade Jewelry Land, kidnapping King Fret and Prince Pine. They also steal twelve magical gems, causing Jewelry Land to split into the Light Realm and Dark Realm. Aimed with the Super Scope, Mario and Yoshi head to Jewelry Land to stop Bowser's plan.
After all levels are cleared in the Dark Realm, the duo are given access to Bowser's Castle. After defeating multiple enemies in their way, Mario and Yoshi fall into a pit and are confronted by their old nemesis. Wearing armor, Bowser is invulnerable with the exception of the blaster cannons on his arms. Once they are destroyed, the chest plate opens and exposes Bowser's belly. Hitting it enough times causes the armor to break off. Bowser's arms are the only vulnerable part, and attack by throwing Koopa shells. After both are damaged enough, they are disabled in bandages and Bowser opens his mouth to breath fire. Shooting his mouth enough times defeats Bowser, surrendering holding two white flags. The game's credits say that Bowser and the Koopalings retreated back to the Mushroom Kingdom.
==In ==
===Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island===
Bowser is featured as an infant throughout the game, being one of the two main antagonists, the other one being Kamek.
===Yoshi's Island DS===
Bowser is featured as the main antagonist. Bowser travels back in time with Kamek in search of seven legendary stars that can apparently give him the power to rule the universe. The search for these stars lead Kamek and Bowser to kidnap babies all across the planet thinking that the stars are located in the hearts of certain babies. Bowser appears as the game's final boss, right after his younger self.
===Yoshi's New Island===
Bowser is the final boss, and he is encountered in the level Make Way for King Bowser!. After Baby Bowser is defeated and whisked away by Kamek, Bowser attacks Yoshi and Baby Mario before the two can save Baby Luigi and the Stork, after warping through space and time. His battle involves him jumping and breathing fireballs. Metal Guys appear after Bowser jumps higher than his previous two jumps, thus allowing Yoshi to survive the otherwise ever shrinking space he can walk along, which Yoshi can turn into a Metal Eggdozer to hit Bowser.
When Bowser has been defeated, Kamek hits him with his mallet and turns him giant. The battle is very similar to Baby Bowser's giant fight in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. When Bowser jumps, Mega Guys fall down and Mega Eggdozers must be thrown at him. However, raining fireballs, Kamek's magic, and Bowser's occasional fire stream may hurt Yoshi. Once Bowser is defeated, he falls through the lava and disappears, with it being implied that he was sent back to his own time afterward. The battle with Bowser is only accessible after beating World 6-8 (as well as all of the other levels) without the use of Flutter Wings.
==In Tetris Attack==
Bowser appears as the final boss, replacing Corderia from the original Panel de Pon.
During VS. Mode, the game's story mode, Bowser has Kamek cast a spell over the inhabitants of Yoshi's Island, brainwashing them into working for him and his Koopa Troop. He also has a massive rain created, threatening to flood the world. He is faced in Mt. Wickedness on hard mode, on the twelfth and final stage, after Kamek is defeated.
In Stage Clear mode, Bowser is also faced on the final stage and special stage. His health is depleted by stringing together multiple combos.
==In Yoshi Topsy-Turvy==
In the opening, Bowser and his minions attack Yoshi's Island. One of the Yoshi's Island Spirits, Hongo, tries to contain Bowser and his army by using his magic to place the entire island inside the Forbidden Pop-Up Book, mirroring what Bowser did to Yoshi's Island as a baby. After Yoshi satisfies all six of the Yoshi's Island Spirits, they allow him to confront Bowser.
The first part of the battle against Bowser takes place on a platform. Bowser attacks by breathing fire at Yoshi while bombs fall from the sky. If Bowser walks into the bombs, he takes damage. He flies into the air and lands, causing two Shy Guys to fall onto the platform.
When Bowser takes enough damage, he and Yoshi fall to a lower platform. Bowser only attacks by leaping and slamming the ground, causing two enemies to fall. The parachuting bombs damage him if he walks into them. Upon doing this enough times, Bowser and Yoshi fall to a pair of even lower platforms over a pit of lava; the size of Bowser allows only one of his feet on it. Tilting the system causes Bowser to fall into the lava, defeating him. Afterward, with Bowser defeated, Hongo releases Yoshi's Island, reverting it to its original form.
