If Bowser Was Charged For His Crimes

The amount of times peach yelled "MARIO" is so funny considering it's more than the amount of times Bowser committed war crimes

A few things forgotten: 1. Grand Larceny charges in Mario Odyssey for stealing the valuables of each of the kingdoms 2. Regular 3D world was not counted, the goop only applied to Bowser’s Fury

Three big things I noticed that were missed. - In the first game, Bowser turns most of the toads into bricks, which could range from mass mutilation, to genocide if they died from the transformation. - As stated in Super Mario World, the Yoshis found throughout the levels where put there forcefully by Bowser after being stuffed into eggs. Mass kidnapping. - We’ve seen from Paper Mario and the Mario Movie that Bob-ombs are sentient beings with intelligence and emotions. We can also see from various cannons, dispensers, and pipes spread across the Mario universe that Bob-ombs are most likely manufactured by Bowser. This means that Bowser deliberately manufactures and deploys an entire race of sentient beings with the intent that they die in an attempt to blow up Mario. Don’t know what charge that would be, but I’m guessing a death sentence. This also applies to any game where Bullet Bills detonate after a short time.

I like how peach only got a restraining order when she was forced to marry; she was chill with all the kidnapping 😂

I find it funny that Bowser only gets a restraining order after 23 kidnappings.

I love how compared to the movie villains you covered, Bowser got the simplest charges to research, but the hardest punishment... Literally 500 years and multiple death sentences.

Technically since Bowser is the leader of a militaristic kingdom, assuming there is a formal declaration of war, most of these "crimes" are allowed wartime activities. As for the war crimes... it really depends. In Super Mario Galaxy, many toads were shown carrying weapons so it could be argued to be a valid military target if brought to a court of international law. It might be a stretch but people have got away with far greater acts of destruction on non-military targets. The new galaxy thing is a bit weirder, and I don't think we have any applicable laws.

Funnily enough, due to the nature of Mario's universe (extra lives, and the abundance of solid gold coins everywhere), bowser is probably one of the few villains out there who could serve out all of his charges shown hete.

I like how he kidnapped Peach 15 times but only got a single restraining order

The fact that several things were still missed, like in Super Mario Bros., how he turned the Toads into bricks, yet he still has that large of a sentence is awesome.

"Bowser is committing arson since he's breathing fire outside his own property" Well that certainly is a sentence

personally I think most of the assaults you've mentioned is more like self defense since Mario is the one that trespassed and invaded his private property. but maybe it worked differently because Mario is trying to stop the kidnapping

A few things that I think should be brought up: - The instruction manual for Super Mario Bros 1 states that Bowser used black magic to turn the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom into stone, bricks, and horsehair plants, so that'll probably be Mass Mutilation. - The first seven Bowsers in Super Mario Bros 1 & the first two Bowsers in Super Mario 3D Land are just regular enemies disguised as Bowser, so I think Bowser would only get charged for the final encounters against him in both games. - You missed all of 3D World and just did Bowser's Fury instead. (Kidnapping x7, Reckless Driving x2, Aggravated Assault x3, First Degree Murder) - Also I feel like the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario games should count in a way.

If Bowser was charged for his crimes, he would receive 100 lifetimes and he would find a way to get out, kidnap Peach & mock Mario and Luigi

Some of the stuff that was missed aside, I do like the idea of us finally talking about video game villains. And if we're doing that, then we desperately need to see "If Ace Attorney Villains Were Charged For Their Crimes". Awkward title because they actually were, but it would be great to see.

Actually, the first 7 Bowser fights in the original Super Mario Bros were just his minions in disguise. So Bowser would only get 1 count of aggravated assault and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for that game. The same applies with the first 2 Bowser fights of Super Mario 3D Land, which would mean that Bowser would only get 2 charges of aggravated assault and arson for that game, because there are 2 fights with the real Bowser. Also, in the main game of 3D World, he's guilty of several charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault, and possible murder.

For the new super mario bros kidnapping charge, there's a small note: It's Bowser Jr. Who does it, not the koopa king himself. At worst, he'd get a conspiracy charge, as it is implied he got Jr to commit the kidnapping, but Jr. would get sentenced to a juvenile detention centre for the crime, and Bowser would likely get a visit from CPS about how he's treating his kids

That man was supposed to be in the Nuremberg trials of 1946, however he managed to escape with fellow officers to the mushroom kingdom. He is still wanted for violation of the Geneva convention, crimes against humanity and sexual charges. If you see this individual please just run and report him to the nearest local authorities.

I would love to see one of these for Ganondorf/Ganon just to see how long the sentence would be. And now would be a great time as the new Zelda game just came out.

One thing I would like to say about the first Super Mario Bros game, the first seven Bowser fights are actually standard enemies pretending to be Bowser, and you don’t actually fight him until the very end of the game. For that reason he should only get one aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge, but all eight kidnapping charges since it was still him that locked all the Toads and Peach up
