Random: Bowser Tries To Woo Elephant Peach In Super Mario Bros. Wonder Ad

Very cute! Nice attempt, Bowser! (Mildly disappointed that he isn’t in his airship form…)

…First! (I can’t help it, I’m sorry!)

That was nice!

A man with that kind of commitment is definitely a keeper.

The few blissful seconds when Peach thought she had finally repelled an unwanted suitor...

If someone roared at me as a greeting I would probably run!

I always knew King Koopa was Kink Koopa.

Bowser likes 'em big!

bowser is a furry confirmed

Based on furry-related comments we have already gotten, I can see this comment section being closed in the near future….

Oh ho! Seems Bowser is into big girls! I can relate.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well. ︶◡︶

Bowser is a chad for this one, loves his girl no matter what! You go bowser! You go!

For a moment there I was worried Nintendo had put a big foot into the world of fat-shaming controversy, but I think they just about avoid it. That pause by Bowser is a bit suggestive tho, I was getting flashbacks of Shallow Hal... any SJWs want to jump on it?

@gcunit "SJW"? What? we are not in 2015 anymore.

I usually skip this part.

That's... totally a new Peach voice. Have they replaced the entire cast?

"Oh look it's my stalker"

The character designers know exactly what they're doing, don't they?

@Pyoro he's already an anthropomorphic turtle. doubt he'd be that lol

@jowe_gv Correct, it's not 2015 anymore, and the SJWs hold everyone else hostage at every opportunity because the world bent over backwards for them. Don't pretend this isn't the way of life now.

As for the topic at hand, this is fantastic!

@gcunit I believe ‘Wowie Zowies’ is the term you’re looking for.

@gcunit I think it was more to do with the fact that his human love-interest just transformed into an elephant in front of his very eyes.

@Pod Tip of my tongue.

Aww, don’t worry. It’s just harmless low key body shaming as the punchline of a double anticlimax joke.

Regardless if you’re a ‘SJW’ or not, it’s just painfully dumb comedy and that (plus the character design of the elephant) is its worst crime.

@PinderSchloss How is it body shaming? If anything, he prefers her elephant form as he gives her more flowers. Or he likes her either way but is trying to be respectful of giving a more appropriately sized bunch to go with her larger outfit? I don't see anything negative about his reaction to her change. Anyone would be shocked to see someone change into an elephant infront of them, but he's not repulsed.

@Pyoro Elephants don't have fur.

Bowser likes them thich!👍

Bowser: “That’s my fetish.”

I'm not saying anything more about this afterwards but... ugh. I guess I should have expected this small war as soon as I mentioned this. I was just baffled by someone using unironically and unprompted the term "SJW" in current year. And now I'm even more baffled by some responses I got after.

Noone is complaining about this and there is no reason to imagine someone in your head that does that. Literally no reason at all. Just enjoy the ad and buy Super Mario Brothers Wonder for the Nintendo Switch family of systems.

first of all lets get the elephant out of the room. Finally it looks like he's realised that flowers are better than kidnapping?

Honestly if bowser always goes after peach they should make bowsette her own character and have her go after mario and peach can go rescue mario.

@Not_Soos That's what I've been saying, especially with Princess Peach: Showtime also having some distinctly different sounding voice clips for Peach. But the Toads in Wonder still sound about the same, so it could just be altered voice direction for Samantha Kelly?

Daisy and Bowser are also still pretty unmistakably Deanna Mustard and Kenny James

@jowe_gv "Noone is complaining about this and there is no reason to imagine someone in your head that does that."

Sadly that is the bread and butter of many people on both the left and the right nowadays. Best to not encourage either of them in their quest to create problems that don't exist so they can doomscroll a never ending echo chamber of outrage-p**n.

That said, had Bowser been repulsed by elephant peach I probably would have been a little offput by it, snowflake of the wokerazzi media that I am. 😂

First of all, I'm not surprised this comment section turned a funny promo by Nintendo into a fat-shaming debate.

Second, I find these promos to be great marketing material for the game! I also like Bowser's render here, it reminds me of his look from the Game Cube days.

It’d be down to the trunk.

Peach: Whew! I bet this elephant suit will keep Bowser off my case!

Bowser: So…how many flowers does it take to impress an elephant?

He really needs to leave her alone. I don’t know why Nintendo thinks being a creepo stalker is a good look.

Bowser likes em thiccc

@Ryu_Niiyama How is being very infatuated by someone creepy? Nothing about this is creepy, it's more cute and wholesome. This has been one of his traits since his inception

@SlasherZ Not sure if that is a serious question but stalking, kidnapping, harassment (pretty sure Bowser knows about Mario) is creepy. Originally Bowser just wanted to rule the Mushroom Kingdom. Adding “romantic”obsession to his character makes his already villain behavior have a darker more uncomfortable tone. I will take power hungry tyrant over power hungry tyrant and stalker any day.

Anyone also see the Mario one?

@Ryu_Niiyama Are YOU serious? What are you talking about? He has always been in love with Peach. It's one of the sole reasons he kidnaps her 95% of the time. Hell, It's also one of the primary reasons besides conquering the Mushroom Kingdom that he tries to kill Mario. Plus, just because he's loves Peach doesn't mean he's suddenly not a power hungry tyrant lol. He can be both.

@SlasherZ he has not. At least not in the SMB 1, SMB 2 games (and most of the older games) But let’s give you the benefit of the doubt, that doesn’t change how I feel about it. Not sure why you are so bothered by my reaction to Bowser’s behavior though. As I already said I would rather he be merely a power hungry tyrant. Have a nice day.

@Ryu_Niiyama I'm not really bother, moreso confused by your reaction, especially in regards to this ad. Like I said before, this ad is more cute and wholesome.

@SlasherZ shrugs and that is the joy of individuals. It’s cute to you and not to me. Which I already said initially. Not sure what you are looking for from me here. Welp I am gonna move on with my day now.

@Ryu_Niiyama power hungry tyrant would also include coveting the power peach has. Trying to woo her is one way, and when that inevitably fails, he resorts to kidnapping to potentially gain that power. He is the bad guy. Adding stalker behavior isn't much of a stretch. Creepy behavior? Sure, it reinforces the fact that he is, again, the bad guy. It's makes him a simple 2 dimensional character in a game that is not known for plot.

@MegaMari0 ok. Not sure what question you are answering though. I never asked a question. Did you tag me by mistake?

This had me dying. Can’t wait for this game

It's less him going to great lengths and more he's super into the elephant thiccness

@Ryu_Niiyama
Absolutely. It's a funny trope in games, and although Peach's agency has improved recently, it was zero for a long time.

And I know it's not serious (and the game is brilliant), but I've always thought the plot of SMO was a bit unnerving for a video game.

Mario needs to finish off Bowser once and for all. You never mess with an Italian's girl! If I was Mario, Bowser would already be sleeping with the Cheep-Cheeps.

@Ryu_Niiyama This is an open platform. When you made a comment you signed a contract stating you are welcoming all responses.

If you don't like people criticizing or disagreeing with you, then next time, just not say anything at all. You chose to engage, and now you're disengaging simply because you don't like the negative responses.

I mean, you are free to do that, but it reflects badly on you. "Ok, whatever, It's just MY opinion, bye now." is a poor attitude to have.

Bowser doesn't discriminate. How can he be the biggest villan in gaming?!

@DarkTone All this shows is that Bowser only cares about who Peach is on the inside. She could be a bull shark for all he cares.

We could all learn something from the evil tyrant.

I always knew Bowser was down with the thiccness

@Ryu_Niiyama
They don't think it's a good look. Bowser is the series villain. Specifically for that reason. He even makes a habit of kidnapping her.

I guess restraining orders still haven't been invented in the mushroom kingdom.

This might be the most wholesome ad I've ever seen. It was so adorable I was hospitalised for cuteness overload. I barely survived. Nintendo is back on their A game for this.

@Eggolor This is a notice: Your meme has been snatched by Bruno, you won’t talk about Bruno, you will not mention Bruno, just know Bruno has saved the meme on his phone and left. This is an automatic message.

@Snatcher Psst, don't tell this to anyone, but I didn't even make the original meme in the first place, so you're free to do what you want.

@Eggolor Bruno will be satisfied with this answer, and won’t tell anyone! Continue your day citizen.

@Bratwurst35 I admit that I didn't read the terms of service carefully but I doubt it says that lol

Is the YouTube hyperlink really supposed to link to the app page on this site and not to the particular video in question?

@Purgatorium It's not literal haha. I just find it weird when someone says an opinion online in a public space, but then choose to disengage immediately when others start criticizing it.

I mean if you are going to share whats on your mind, you have to expect others will share what's on theirs too.

I wasn't trying to bash Ryu, just they reminded me of a few people who I've met in my time, that enjoyed saying how they feel, but didn't enjoy others disagreeing with said feelings. Instead of defending said position, explaining it thoroughly, they just say some line to shut down the conversation all together.

Something along the lines like "Well it's just my opinion". Which is yeah, but you shared it with me and now Im sharing mines.

@Bratwurst35 So A) I never said anything that you put in quotes so you are already a swing and a miss. B) here you go: https://www.nintendolife.com/terms

https://www.nintendolife.com/rules

If you feel I violated anything in the terms above please notify the mods. Thanks! And have a fantastic day!

@Bratwurst35 - To be fair, sharing an opinion doesn’t mean they have to defend it, especially if we’re just talking about how someone felt about a video game ad. Sure, you can inquire further, but they absolutely have the right to not engage if they don’t want to. (Also, looking at the actual exchange, he did respond, but when it was clear the conversation wasn’t going anywhere he just shrugged his shoulders and moved on, which, again, is a perfectly fair thing to do)

@Ryu_Niiyama - To be fair, he is the villain, so it does track in that respect. Also, I imagine the people responsible see it more as Bowser being “unlucky in love” than a stalker (even though he pretty much is), so likely there’s a difference in interpretation there as well.

….Also, it’s a lot better than the Mario Movie.

@FullMetalWesker waves Hi I know the username throws people but I’m female.

@Ryu_Niiyama - Ah, sorry, my bad.

Bowser: HAH jokes on you I’m into that s***

@JR150 Can't blame him.

What in god's name has happened to this comment section???

@JR150 Someone mentioned the elephant in the room? 😅

Elephants never forget. Bowser is a creep.

I see that Bowser is taking what he learned from Mario Odyssey and staying with it. Go him.

So we can banter about "SJW"s in here, but my take gets deleted for being off topic? Seems like you almost enjoy letting the kids fling mud in the comments section.

@Pod "but my take gets deleted for being off topic?"

And why delete harmless off-topic comments anyway (unless it's grossly out of hand on every article)?
More comments and replies means more people returning to view the article, which means more ad revenue for Nintendo Life. They shoot themselves in the foot.
