Bowser (Super Mario 3D World)

Bowser is the main antagonist of the game, Super Mario 3D World. He is also the final boss of the game under the form, Meowser.

History
Bowser, at one point, decided to capture the Sprixie Princesses and seal them all inside of a magical jar. In this game, Bowser is faught three times (with the third and final time being in his Meowser form) and for the first two fights, he is riding inside of his car. Even after his second defeat, Bowser manages to capture all of the Sprixie Princesses and take them all to his amusement-themed world. In the final level, Bowser uses a Cat Bell to transform into Meowser in does battle with the heroes once and for all. Eventually, Bowser is defeated and finds himself sealed inside of a jar unable to escape.

First battle
The first battle with Bowser occurs at the end of the last level of World 1. Bowser's main method of attack is breathing fire at the heroes. Bowser will also throw soccer bombs which is required to hit back at him to cause damage. Bowser will always be moving foward switching platform to platform until the player runs out of room. This battle is fairly simple as the player just needs to avoid the fireballs and kick the soccer bombs back at Bowser three times in order to defeat him.

Second battle
In the second battle, most of Bowser's attacks remain the same. However, there are now spikes on the ground and parts where lava rises from the ground that can deal damage. Bowser's fireballs become more frantic and often fires them when the player is near spikes or lava. The method to damage and defeat Bowser remains the same: Wait for him to toss soccer bombs and kick them back at him three times in order to defeat him.

Trivia

 * Super Mario 3D World is one of few games where Bowser doesn't go after Princess Peach (since she is playable in this game); rather, other princesses instead.
