Hailing from the {{uv|Mario}} universe, '''Bowser''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. His moveset in ''Project M'' comes from a combination of his ''Brawl'' and ''Melee'' movesets, though with heavy buffs.

Bowser is currently ranked 41st out of 41 characters on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], ranking himself as the worst character on the tier list, the same ''Melee'' placement ranking 26th out of 26 characters and a somewhat larger drop from his ''Brawl'' placement of 33rd out of 38. In the official [[Project+]] tier list, he places higher, ranking 32nd out of 42 characters.

''[[Project+]]'' provides several new recolors for both Bowser's default and Dry Bowser costumes. Bowser's new green alternate costume resembles his appearance in ''Super Mario World'', and his new red costume resembles a costume in ''Mario Golf''.  The last default costume recolor resembles his appearance on the Japanese cover for ''Super Mario Bros.''. Dry Bowser received additional recolors, his team colors representing the Dry Bone colors in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'', and his brown color resembling fossilized dinosaur bones.   Additionally, Dry Bowser's attacks now use a blue fire effect instead of the regular red fire of his default costume.

'''Z-Secret Costume:''' Dark Bowser: Based on [[mariowiki:Dark Bowser|Dark Bowser]], a doppelgänger of Bowser created by the [[mariowiki:Dark Star|Dark Star]] after it steals some of his DNA in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''. Extra details include black mask-like markings around his red eyes and his hair being more spiked up. Since 2.4, this secret costume has received a minor visual overhaul, namely a scar on the left side of his chest and the mask-like markings being smaller.

'''R-Secret Costume:''' Rookie: Based on [[mariowiki:Rookie|Rookie]], Bowser's alter-ego that he develops after winding up with amnesia in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. The only visual distinction from Bowser is the blue burglar mask he wears.

'''Giga Bowser Z-Secret Costume:''' Giga Dark Bowser: A Giga Bowser version of the Dark Bowser Z-Alt. ''Project+'' Ver. 2.4 altered the mask-like markings and placed the [[mariowiki:Dark Star|Dark Star]] on the left side of his chest where the scar mentioned above used to be.

 

'''Giga Bowser R-Secret Costume:''' Giga Rookie: A Giga Bowser version of the Rookie R-Alt.
