Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Bowser was one of the biggest parts of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and here are 10 storylines that would be perfect for the King of the Koopas in The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2.

Related 10 Upcoming Video Game Movie Adaptations That Could Recreate The Mario Movie's $1.3 Billion Success The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a huge commercial and critical success, and these 10 upcoming movie adaptations of video games could match it. 9 Bowser Becomes Possessed By An Even Scarier Villain Close Bowser has been possessed by other villains quite frequently in the Super Mario franchise, so it would only make sense to pull off one of these storylines in The Super Mario Bros.
7 Bowser Goes Back In Time To Stop Mario Close Time travel has become a surprisingly common staple of Super Mario video games, with several Mario and Luigi storylines centering around the sci-fi topic. One of Bowser's most villainous plans actually centers around him using time travel in an attempt to defeat Mario and Luigi, with this scary storyline possibly making its way into The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2.
5 Bowser Obtains The Star Rod Another classic Bowser plan involves him stealing a powerful weapon that would allow him to enact his evil deeds: the Star Rod. This story comes from the original Paper Mario video game, with the Star Rod being a magical device that allows Bowser to turn himself invincible and imprison Peach's castle. Bowser is already inside Peach's castle at the end of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, so it would make sense to introduce this storyline now.
3 Bowser Merges With The Dark Star Bowser has been known to be possessed by villains before, but he has also combined himself with some powerful objects in the world of Mario, with the Dark Star being one of the most notable ones. In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the game ends with Bowser, Mario, and Luigi fighting Dark Bowser, an evil clone created by the Dark Star that threatens to destroy the entirety of the Mushroom Kingdom.
