Black Bowser (referred simply as Bowser in-game) is the black main villain in Paper Mario: Color Splash. He is one of Paper Bowser´s variants were the black paint absorbs and controlls him in which he becomes an ultimate evil vilian who´s main goal is to cover the power of the black paint over the entire world via mixing with every colour his Koopa Troops collect to add in his bomb factory.
Story[]
When Bowser came to Port Prisma, he saw the Prisma Fountain with its rainbow of colors and decided he wanted a rainbow colored shell. Bowser jumped in and mixed all of the paint together while jumping around and created Black Paint, which proceeded to climb onto his body while he was trying to have fun. Then the Black Paint possessed him, and he became Black Bowser. He flings the Big Paint Stars far away and shortly afterwards, orders Slurp Guys to suck out the paint of almost everything there.
After Mario and Huey return the Red Big Paint Star to Port Prisma, Black Bowser appears on the highest spire of the Red District. He delivers an ominous message that the dark gift of black paint will be shared with the world soon. He then leaves Port Prisma by jumping onto an airship, which carries Princess Peach away to Black Bowser's Castle where she was later drained from her paintings and hanged as as an art. He later reappears in the memories given by the Big Paint Stars, telling how he became the monster he was.
After Mario and Huey destroy Black Bowser's Factory, they confront Black Bowser in the castle's throne room for a final standoff. During the battle, Black Bowser unleashes a series of powerful attacks, including a charged spin shell strike, fiery breath, and the summoning of Black Lava Bubbles from the remnants of black paint scattered across the ground. If Mario fails to eliminate these bubbles before his next turn, they dissolve back into Bowser, replenishing his black paint reserves.
Once Mario successfully drains the black paint from Bowser’s face, the villain briefly returns to his normal self, confused and unaware of his surroundings. However, the black paint swiftly consumes him again, transforming him into Big Black Bowser. In this form, Bowser's eyes glow yellow without pupils, and his strength dramatically increases, rendering Mario's attacks ineffective. In response, Huey reverts to his original form to shield Mario and absorb the black paint through Bowser’s devastating Shell Twirls, Black Hammer Strikes, and Black Paint Ball throws.
As the battle intensifies and half of Big Black Bowser’s paint is depleted, his rage escalates. His eyes glow red and his attacks become faster and more difficult to counter. Eventually, when the black paint nearly vanishes from Bowser’s eyes, he surrenders. He expels the remaining black paint into a massive Black Paint Ball and hurls it at Huey and Mario. Bowser then collapses, reverting to his weakened normal state and is ultimately defeated by Mario.
Following Bowser’s defeat, Mario rescues Princess Peach and the trio escapes the castle. Luigi arrives just in time to pick them up, while Huey stays behind to absorb the remaining traces of black paint from the castle, signaling the end of Black Bowser's influence.
