This thread is part of a group of threads detailing what changes i believe should be made in a hypothetical 1.1.7 patch for SSB4. Here i will list the changes that should be made to Bowser to make him balanced with the rest of the cast.

walk speed: 0.858 -> 0.862
air speed: 1 -> 1.03
jumpsquat lag: 8 frames -> 7 frames
dash attack FAF: frame 56 -> frame 52
Up tilt FAF: 41 -> 38
Up tilt hitbox size: 5.5/5 -> 5.8/5.3
Down tilt (hit 2) damage: 11 -> 15
Forward smash (sweetspot) hitbox size: 7.0 -> 7.3
down smash (loop hits 2-6) damage: 1 -> 1.2
down smash final hit base KB: 40 -> 55
down smash final hit KBG: 130 -> 133
forward throw BKB: 60 -> 66
back throw KBG: 66 -> 68
Nair hitbox size: 5.5/5.5/5.5/5.5 -> 5.7/5.7/5.7/5.7
Fair hitbox size: 6.0/5.0/5.0 -> 6.3/5.2/5.2
Fair damage: 13/12/11 -> 14
Fair FAF: 42 -> 39
Uair KBG: 85 -> 88
Uair hitbox size: 6.0 -> 6.2
Bair hitbox size: 7.0 -> 7.3
Dair landing hitbox size: 6.9/6.9 -> 7.4/7.4

I had to remake this one because I really wasn't happy with the first one.
