Bowser

King Bowser Koopa is the unquestioned ruler of the Koopa Troop, and arch-enemy of Mario. Bowser's lifelong goal has been to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, sometimes even the entire universe, and he almost always attempts to do so by capturing Princess Peach, who he doesn't destroy due to the fact that he's developed a huge crush on her, and instead, seeks to put an end to Mario, Luigi & Yoshi, who are mainly the ones foiling his plans. Ultimately, he aims to take control of the Mushroom Kingdom either through marriage with the Princess or terrorism, thus becoming the king. Once she is taken out of power, he wreaks havoc across the kingdom, only to eventually be thwarted by Mario and his friends. He also has a son Bowser Jr., who appears as a playable character in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, and seven minions called the Koopalings, who may be his adopted children. In the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Bowser teams up with his partner in crime, Dr. Eggman, to stop the Winter Olympics, but they did not succeed. Bowser and Eggman both join forces once again in Mario & Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games to stop the London Games.
