Super Smash Bros.

He's also not all that powerful under normal conditions compared to other Mario-series villains, though. He's just Made of Iron.

Immortality seems like a pretty good power. :P

Not if you're nearly an Iron Butt Monkey in many of the spin-offs as a result.

Bowser did die that one time. And that other time. And also that other time.

Yes, but he comes back. He died. That's canon. He came back. Hell, dude can keep fighting with his skin and organs burned away. Pretty badass.

Bowser's not even really all that bad a guy. He's got a mean temper and a weird psychological issue regarding Peach, but his minions all follow out of respect and loyalty. And he more or less behaves himself in the various sports that come and go in popularity in the world...

He's still an effective villain. He may not be Chaotic Evil, but he has the presence, the clout and the power needed to really stand as a significant force against good when the mood takes him.

Did I say he wasn't? I'm just saying, I'm not really surprised that Mario can destroy yet another devious plan of his and then the two of them can meet up for a round of golf later in the week.

Oh... yeah.
That's a weird dynamic they have.
I guess Bowser takes most of his frustration out on the tennis court.

Bowser is... weird. One minute he can be the Butt-Monkey of one of the RPG games, especially Superstar Saga, next minute we can be Go-Karting with Bowser, next minute he's captured Peach again and is an intense final boss with intense music and atmosphere, next minute he's playing tennis with Mario. And it works all the time. Look at his intense, epic roars in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, then look at his goofy comedy in Paper Mario 2, and then look at him being an awesome protagonist in Bowser's Inside Story.

Imma let y'all finish, but the greatest Nintendo villain of all time is clearly Shy Guy.

Lies! Everybody knows that Waddle Dee is a better villian than Shy Guy could ever hope to be.

Psshaw. Tingle is the greatest villain of all time.
...
...
...
What do you mean he's not a villain?

Well, he DID more or less enslave Ankle, Knuckle and David Jr...

Bullshit, it's Dwarf Bulborb.

Poor Tingle, no one likes him . It's your irrational hatred of him what made you guys miss out on the awesome Freshly Picked Tingles Rosy Rupee Land.

I think you guys all forgot about the Waterwraith.

Invincible demigod right thar.

Ghirahim for most fabulousest villain.

Pancake, you're doing the rubbing-in thing again.

And clearly the best villain is the Level 3 Security Turret on the GFS Olympus in Metroid Prime 3.

No, clearly it is the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros. I bet a ton of people have died to that Goomba.

No, I'm not, I'm calling out people who irrationally hate fictional characters.

But sorry, anyway.

I did. More than once...

I don't wanna speak about it...

Yeah, you're calling them out, but you're also making fun of the rational people who are stuck in the same country as the irrational people.

Anyway, the Level 3 Turrets are so mighty a villain they can OHKO Samus even when she's in an invincible state. Nobody else can boast that.

Excuse me, but, I have played Freshly Picked, and I enjoyed it greatly. My dislike for the fairy in green spandex is greatly exaggerated for comedic purposes. Though the dude is a creep.

He's a greedy creep and that's what I love about him. He's like Wario, except creepier and more sneaky about his greed. And creepier looking.

And he keeps slaves on his islands.

It was amusing to find the guy's father in Majora's Mask.

Tingle's more like... he's like Peter Pan if he physically aged, but still refused to grow up mentally.

Imagine if Ghirahim and Tingle teamed up to spread molestation across the land.
