Bowser (クッパ, Kuppa) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was confirmed in the reveal trailer at E3. He will retain all of his Special Moves.

Confirmed information

Out of all of the returning characters seen so far, Bowser appears to have changed the most:

• He stands upright as opposed to his hunched-over posture from previous games.
• He has a new dashing animation where he runs upright instead of scuttling along the ground.
• He appears to have multiple new attacks, such as a two-footed dropkick, a dashing kick, and an aerial attack where he spins his limbs vertically.
• His down tilt doesn't have a scratch effect.
• Bowser Bomb now has a larger hitbox.
• In addition, looking close, his model appears to have a visual effect, making the scales that cover his body more noticeable.

Aside from these changes, Bowser's forward tilt, down aerial, Fire Breath, Flying Slam, and Whirling Fortress appear unchanged.
