Bowser has been redesigned many times from his beginning in 1985 to 2013 in his Super Smash Bros. 4 appearance! There are many Bowsers to choose from.
At first I wanted to ask which design would you most want to use in SSB4. But you can answer that too! I would want to use his design from SM64 promotional art. Not that in-game one with the large head and small arms. I mean the dark green, neon orange Bowser on the cover of the cartridge! But I would love to use the cool SM64 model too, or even a 3D version of Bowser's hairless NES sprite from the first game. I think the less humanoid, pre-'96 Bowser with a big head and little arms, as we see in the SM64 model or SMB3 art, is my favorite.
So I like those most, but I also want to mention Baby Bowser. It is sad how they changed him to look just like Bowser Jr. nowadays! I miss that design from Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story! But such change lets us appreciate older things more.
I should show pictures of the ones I mean to help everyone understand. WOAH! I actually found pictures of the specific ones I am thinking of!!!!
Why not add a picture of the version (or versions) you are thinking of?! Keep going through the sets of eight and you might find it! Be thankful to those who posted them. Is there a way to organize these nicer?
To credit what inspired this question, I thought of this by going from the mariomonsters.com to bowsershrine.com! I remembered thier work on showing Bowser's redesigns. The Shrine also mentioned SSB4 Bowser on the front page. I thought of how different Bowser looks in the new SSB and I imagined what it would be like to use the colors I really wanted.
