Bowser

From Paper Wiki

Paper Mario

Bowser, aided by Kammy Koopa, second in command of the Koopa Troop, took control of the Princess's castle by lifting it into the air with the power of the Star Rod in Paper Mario. Mario, along with his friends Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Bow, Watt, Sushie and Lakilester, had to rescue the Seven Star Spirits in order to use the Star Beam, which would deactivate the Star Rod. After the initial fight against Bowser, he retreated to the roof of his castle. Using the Power Platform Kammy Koopa built, Kammy boosted his size and power to ensue his victory. The Star Beam failed to work against Bowser. However, Princess Peach discovered that by wishing for Mario's strength to increase, and Twink granted her wish by giving Mario the Peach Beam.

Now that Mario was able to negate the Star Rod's effects, he had no problem taking Bowser down and returning everything to the way it once was.

Paper Mario was significant because it revealed another of Bowser's motives for kidnapping Peach; he has a crush on her and hopes to steal her away from Mario.
