===Matchups===
{{SSBBMatchupTable|bowser=yes}}
Bowser has a terrible matchup spread overall. He only counters {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, soft counters {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, and has seven even matchups. However, he gets soft countered by five characters, countered by sixteen, hard countered by four, and has two close to unwinnable matchups. Bowser only does well against characters that have poor neutral games or terrible speed, such as against {{SSBB|Ike}} and Jigglypuff. Conversely, he struggles against characters who can take advantage of his terrible neutral game and recovery, like {{SSBB|Falco}}, {{SSBB|Olimar}}, and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, and especially characters that can chaingrab him, like {{SSBB|Wario}}, {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. These debilitating factors leave him to be unable to effectively utilize his excellent endurance and power.
