Hello Bowser players old and new! Are you looking for information? Searching for a specific thread about a technique? Wanted to add something to a discussion? Look no further, as this is the amazing Bowser directory thread. This will be a "Base of Operations". Every important thread will be linked here. I will try to keep this whole thing updated as well as possible. If I should forget something, please feel free to tell me. If you created a topic you want to have added, please let me know through my VM wall. Posting in this thread should be kept at a minimum.

If something new is opened/discovered and not in this thread within the time of a week, feel free to poke me via wall VM or PM, and I'll gladly add it as soon as I see it.

Thanks for your support!

I'm glad this has been stickied. Do we still need the others stickies if we have this?

Important threads still should be stickied, such as the Q&A thread, video thread etc., so people don't have to dig for them and open stupid threads.

There are a bunch of pictures that were made for Bowser's hitboxes. Ryko also recorded a video of all of Bowser's hitboxes using the hitbubble pac.
