Bowser, known as Cabin Bowser in FNaW: Cabin Fever, was an antagonist in the now removed Chapter 2, and reappears as an antagonist in Cabin Fever 2: The End. Bowser was a large and feared member of the community, jealous of Wario and the gang's success. He was eventually caught by their murderer. He was reanimated by the Fake Developer.

## Description

In Chapter 2, Cabin Bowser is similar to his normal appearance; a large dragon-like turtle with large horns, red hair, spiked collars on his neck and arms, sharp claws, and a large spiked shell. However, the left side of his head has been broken open, exposing his brain. A hacksaw can be seen stabbed into his brain. His right eye is black with a white pupil. He seems to have a wider smile than usual. What appears to be dried blood surrounds his nose.

In Cabin Fever 2: The End, Bowser's entire body is much greyer and seemingly cracked. His eyes are red and veiny, his teeth are sharp and red, and blood covers his chest and hands. He has more teeth than usual. In the 2 Night Demo, Bowser had strange, sharp-ended tentacle extremities protruding from his eyes. They have been removed in the full version, revealed via the final GameJolt banner. "Cabin" has been removed from his name, due to this Bowser not being from the Cabin incident.

Bowser was featured as an unlockable plush decoration in Chapter 2, paired with Birdo's plush.

## Investigation Night

Cabin Bowser only makes an appearance in the first game as an easter egg. When the player uncovers the 5th photo in the Investigation night, Bowser is the one on the photo.

## Information

### Cause of Death

Head cracked open, hand saw to the brain (Cabin Fever)

## Gameplay

### Night/Hour Active

Hour 4

Bowser became active on Hour 4. Randomly, Bowser initiates a Red Coin Hunt. During the hunt, the player must search the cameras and collect 8 red coins. If they fail to do this in time, Bowser would kill the player.

## Strategy

1. Every other antagonist slows down while Bowser is attacking, but not by a large amount.
2. Whenever the camera cuts to static, it will block the player from moving to a different camera, making Shattered **crucial** to be dealt with if they're attacking in order to deal with Bowser easier.
3. Multiple red coins can appear in the same spot, usually two.

## Jumpscare

In his jumpscare, he emerges and pushes the player as they fall to the ground. Bowser stares down at the player, and then proceeds to stomp in their face with his foot.

## Exploration

During Exploration 2 of The End, the player must investigate different noises in the house. Eventually they will come across Bowser, who will shortly after disappear and initiate the Red Coin Hunt. The player must search each of the downstairs rooms and collect 8 coins to drive Bowser away. After charging the laptop to 50%, Bowser reappears upstairs and forces the player to play the same game, but in the upstairs rooms. After this, he will stop attacking the player. He is the only character active during Exploration 2.

Bowser can be heard angrily screaming if the player finds all 8 Red Coins.

## Jumpscare

In his jumpscare, he emerges from the right and seemingly attempts to bite the player's face.

In his Game Over death art, his tentacle extremities are seen grabbing Carl (the player), with one plunging into his eye sockets and punching through the back of his head.

## Strategy

1. The downstairs hunt takes up rooms 1, 2, 3, and 4. Only look here if the objective states downstairs. The upstairs hunt takes up rooms 5, 6, 7, and 8. Only look here if the objective states upstairs.
2. If a coin is found in a certain spot in a room, that's where it will always appear if it's in that room.
3. Move to another room as soon as the Movement Cooldown hits zero if you cannot see the coin in order to save as much time as possible.
4. Multiple red coins can appear in the same spot. It's usually two, but on rare occasions it can be more. This is an issue with RNG that can be exploited.

## Other

Bowser's Original Appearance.

1. His mechanic, Red Coin Hunt, is a reference to multiple official Mario series games involving a minigame where you search for 8 red coins to earn an award, such as a 1-Up Mushroom.
2. The theme that plays during the hunt is a remix of Bowser's boss theme from Super Mario Bros. 3.
3. During his jumpscare, the hack saw in his head is oddly absent. He also has the incorrect lighting, and the roof seems more from a cabin rather than a house. This is due to Bowser's jumpscare being made early on and being hard to recreate.
4. He would've acted the same in the old Chapter 2, though you needed to look around.
5. The file name for his red coin sprite states that it's a temporary file.
6. Bowser and Birdo's plushies are together due to them both being reptiles. The original file name was named "Cabin\_Fever\_Reptile\_Plushies".
7. In The End, the tentacles in his eyes were removed due to poor looking quality.
8. The original character designer for Bowser in The End, The Kirby Genius, did not intend for there to be eye tentacles in the original design. These were meant to be a lighting effect that Tagey misunderstood.
