Anatomically, Bowser's nose can be considered to have two primary purposes. First, it provides something to breathe through when he has a mouth full of hot, fiery death to spit. Second, its presence keeps him from looking like a total goober.
Case in point, one GAME store seems to have come across a Hammer Slam Bowser amiibo from the upcoming Skylanders SuperChargers Racing with a factory defect. Just looking at it is enough proof that Bowser's schnoz really ties his face together.

Although the store teases that it could potentially make a mint off the borked Bowser, it later admits that the package would not be snatched by staff and go on the shelves like every other product.
In the hands of a pro customizer, this amiibo could have potential. A little black paint between the... er... within the nose area could start one off toward a nice, battle ready Meowser, as a responder on Twitter implied. Is this a Bowser you'd want for your collection?

Oh, it's an amiibo?
Hmm, this tempting. Should I fly 9000 miles just to get to this store and hope no one else snatched this up?
Oh my god... It's missingno...se.
Buttface Bowser is going to net thousands on eBay.
Bowser is going to get a bum rap.
@TheWPCTraveler
The Donkey Kong and Bowser Skylanders figures can function as amiibo by twisting the base.
I hope I get a meowser with my preorder XD
What the hell is a goober??!
@Miiamoto A peanut.
@Miiamoto You're a goober!
Why would the tip of the nose be a separate piece anyway?
I doubt no one called a friend to buy it for them
I think Bowser is just turning his nose up at the idea of Activision turning his dark edition into the 3rd member of the Road Warriors.
@LztheQuack We're all goofy goobers, yeah!
I'm not into Skylanders and I only have 2 amiibo but, for some reason I want both the DK and Bowser amiibolander. Just for the fact that they are cooler than normal amiibo and having these characters would be useful for a lot of games.
Bowser got tired of not having a nickname like his buddy Dr. Ivo 'Eggman' Robotinik, so he wants to be referred to by Buttface by Mario and gang.
I thought the defect amiibo that got silly money were ones with double limbs and other weird stuff. Not ones missing parts?
And these ones aren't sealed in the same way so anyone could break bits off ones.
I don't get the whole buying broken toys anyway though. Or keeping them in their packets.
that's nothing. @nintendolife check this out http://imgur.com/GefX3p3
Nintendo exclusive Amiibo in an xBox box... yeah earn what?
I found this pic on reddit by "TheMegaZone" it was at a Toys R us...
Last night I offered them $1 then £1 for the fault item. They accepted my offer and then negated selling it to a staff member instead. I'm in the mindset that I need to complain to their head office over such disgusting treatment of a customer ;p
@Uberchu Someone could quite easily have put the Xbox cardboard cover over the Wii U inner tray.
My son really wants this game but I can't afford it so he's going to have to wait until Christmas to get it. I really want the Dark edition for once though.
@Pokefanmum82 But which Amiibo do you want with it? Or is the systems a limiter? Bowser is Wii & 3DS while Donkey Kong is Wii U.
Oh we have all the systems but my son mainly plays on the Wii U. Plus we already have a Bowser amiibo
This factory goof is actually pretty darn funny.
You do realise that, to a British reader at least, the headline is false advertising, right?
@LztheQuack
So a goober is an extremely handsome man with a charming personality?
...ok then
lol
