Editing Bowser's Minions

In ''Melee''{{'}}s Adventure Mode, the Bowser's Minions serve as basic enemies in the {{b|Mushroom Kingdom|Adventure Mode}} stage. Their members include Goombas, Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas.

In ''Brawl''{{'}}s ''The Subspace Emissary'', Bowser's Minions serve as a faction of the [[Subspace Army]]. They are tasked with deterring any interference to [[Tabuu]]'s plot, but their efforts are ultimately foiled. The first member to be seen is [[Petey Piranha]] where he appears at the [[Midair Stadium]] as the mode's first [[boss]] encounter. The rest debuted during their theft of {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}}'s {{s|mariowiki|banana hoard}}. There are six different members of Bowser's Minions in the mode. The [[Trophy|trophies]] of the troop's members are collected by use of a [[Trophy Stand]].

{{Main|Goomba}}

Goombas are the most common and basic members of Bowser's Minions. They are extremely weak, as they can be eliminated with a single [[jump]], and cannot withstand many conventional attacks. They attack with charges.

Koopa Troopas are the second most common members of Bowser's Minions, acting as basic cannon fodder infantry with the Goombas. They come in green and red variations, and when attacked enough or jumped on, they will withdraw into their shells, which can be thrown or kicked for the character's offense. They attack with headbutts.

Koopa Paratroopas are winged variants of the Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas can use their wings to fly forwards, or directly upwards and downwards. If a Koopa Paratroopa is [[attack]]ed or [[jump]]ed on, they will lose their wings and revert to being a standard Koopa Troopa. Just like Koopa Troopas, Paratroopas use headbutts to attack.

Hammer Bros. are members of the Koopa species, like the more basic and common Koopa Troopas, that are armed with an array of hammers, which they can throw. Unlike a Koopa Troopa, a Hammer Bro cannot be jumped on in ''Brawl'', and must be defeated using regular attack methods. The Hammer Bro also appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] where it is completely invincible.

The Bullet Bills, while a living species, could be considered the machinery of Bowser's Minions, as they heavily resemble bullets and can be fired at any desired target to damage. While Bullet Bills can be defeated by attacks, they typically fly off of the screen boundaries by themselves without the need to manually destroy them.

Bowser, the king of the Koopa species to which he belongs, is the group's leader in addition to being a subordinate to [[Tabuu]] during ''The Subspace Emissary''. Bowser is later fought by {{SSBB|King Dedede}} in [[Subspace (Part I)]], but after he is defeated, he will join the protagonists' team and can serve as a playable character. However, the remainders of Bowser's Minions that inhabit The Great Maze stay as enemies.
