*{{change|Bowser sports a darker and more monotone color scheme overall, similarly to his appearances in previous installments: his skin is yellower akin to his appearance in ''[[Brawl]]'', whereas his head's and shell's green color schemes are similar to his appearance in ''[[Melee]]''. Due to the different lightning physics used in ''Ultimate'', Bowser's model also features a more subdued color scheme. His claws are darker and more gray in color. In addition, his scales, hair, horns and spikes exhibit more subtle detailing; and his bands have visible scuffs and scratches. His pupils are also larger, and his spikes are slightly longer and thinner.}} | *{{change|Bowser sports a darker and more monotone color scheme overall, similarly to his appearances in previous installments: his skin is yellower akin to his appearance in ''[[Brawl]]'', whereas his head's and shell's green color schemes are similar to his appearance in ''[[Melee]]''.
