The Bowser Challenge was originally developed by the Superfriends crew of Southern California, and posted by HugS in February 2005.

The Bowser Challenge is a challenge issued mostly to advanced players in certain tournaments, to beat a team of three Bowsers on Fountain of Dreams. The goal is to see how many times the player can KO the Bowsers before losing. While the match can seem very lopsided due to Bowser's glaring weaknesses (especially against faster characters such as Marth and Fox), the match itself is considered extremely difficult to win, provided that the Bowser players are semi-competent. Even famed Melee player Ken Hoang was unable to beat a Bowser Challenge; at the same tournament, the closest player to winning only got 4 KOs, as Ganondorf.

There is no well-known equivalent to the Bowser Challenge in either SSB64 or Brawl, though the concept would be simple to carry across.
