If Mario has March 10th as his very own 'MAR10 Day', then it only seems fair that other characters also get their own time to shine, right? This week, it's Bowser's turn to lap up the limelight.
Throughout yesterday and into this morning, #BowserDay2021 has been trending on social media. Fans of Mario's archenemy have been celebrating all things Bowser by sharing memories of the character in their favourite games or by posting special artwork to mark the occasion.
Bowser Day is a fan-made celebration that appears to have originated around nine years ago by a Fur Affinity user; August 4th, which could be written as 8/4, is a nod to the level 8-4 in Super Mario Bros. – Bowser's first ever appearance.
Take a look at some of the art fans have been sharing on Twitter:
Are you a fan of Bowser? Is he your top pick in games like Mario Kart? Let us know in the comments.

without Bowser, Bowsette wouldn't be possible, and that's worth celebrating 🙏🏽
Happy Bowser's Day!
I like what they've been doing to his personality in each and every 3D Mario Game (64, Sunshine, Galaxy and Odyssey comes to mind). The parental app only makes it better
Wonder what Doug has been up to behind his social presence?
😂😂😂
I clicked on this article thinking @ThomasBW84 wrote this.
"Are you a fan of Bowser? Is he your top pick in games like Mario Kart?"
Nope, he is too heavy and slow in Mario Kart. Mario Odyssey was the only game I enjoyed playing as him.
Happy bowser day.
Bowser = POWER
Nintendo fans are the craziest fans ever.
Looking forward to the inevitable flying koopa day though!
@Samuel-Flutter I was happy to see it though!
I love the concept of Bowser Day and hope it continues...

... but for the love of everything sacred, do NOT look through the hashtag. shudder
Thought “Bowser” showed up in world 1-4
@Zach777
I guess technically they are saying that the real Bowser is the one in World 8-4, whereas all the others are imposters as you can see if you beat them using Fire Mario.
@GamerGrandpa
Right…. Hence the quotes.
I read that this was apparently created by a Furaffinity user and I immediately imagined that the only reason they did that was so more people in his group would create lewd art of Bowser on that day. You can't convince me otherwise, I just went on Twitter and searched "Bowser" and was bombarded with NSFW art. I feel like that's something they won't mention, why that person made that day up.
I like Bowser more than Mario...
When is Wario's day?
@rockodoodle agreed comrade
@Zach777 every "Bowser" that appear before level 8-4 are fake Bowsers, normal enemies disguised as Bowser, when killing them with fireballs they transform in their real selves.
It's cool that Bowser has a day, but some of the art I was seeing on Twitter last night was... squeaky... x.x;;
@PBandSmelly It should come as to no surprise why somebody from that particular website chose to make an unofficial day for Bowser...
@CharlieGirl Should have never be called Bowsetee as it has nothing to do with Toadette.
The true hero. All he ever wanted was for his son to have a mother. Not like Peach actually wants to marry Mario or anything. She'd just run off with Toadette.
@russell-marlow I mean, you aren't wrong! Not like there's anything wrong with it!
I am surprised tha this holiday is allowed to be mentioned here.
@Wolfenpilot687 Yes, I can already deduce that by looking at your profile picture and username.
