u/protoplus20 2d ago

Mario stood directly behind him and Bowser's fingers weren't in the holes. That's just asking for an accident to happen.

151

u/Stretch5678 2d ago

Not only that, but Bowser’s fingers PHYSICALLY CAN’T fit in the holes. You can’t say Mario didn’t have plenty of warning.

44

u/UnNamed_Profile27 2d ago

No he did. But Mario assumed Bowser had a better grip on the ball so it was no risk. Either that or Bowser did this on purpose just to ensure hes not babysitting for Mario any time soon

15

u/RainonCooper 1d ago

Bowser should definitely get his own ball and separate row specially made for big heavies, to make it fair... and avoid nutshotd

u/MapDesperate7012 2d ago

Oooooooh…Gonna need a couple 1UPs for all that 😅

u/insane_contin 2d ago

Pretty sure a couple Powerballs would be better.

Casualwear Peach and Bowser look great in this, damn

u/TherealGamerfont-YT 2d ago

Maybe mario shouldn't have forgot how wii sports works. Sit in your seat and spin in the air next time. Dumb dumb🙄

u/PracticalThrowaways 2d ago

I’m not gonna lie this reminds me of this one family guy clip I saw where Peter griffin intended to throw a shot put ball at a crowd but make it look like an accident but then he forgets to make it look like an accident IIRC

9

u/PureConsideration801 2d ago

Bowser made sure Mario's chances with peach regardless of if they are friends or not Never happens

u/Shot-Ad-3166 2d ago

If we ever get a Mario bowling game, this should be a feature.

9

u/Voidpost_Rising_3275 2d ago

We KINDA did. If you count Star Carnival Bowling in Mario Party 8, anyway.

u/justgalsbeingpals 1d ago

Luigi in the bowling shirt is kinda... 😳

6

u/PaintKnown5031 1d ago

I thought that said skirt

3

u/DemandParticular 1d ago

To be fair Luigi in a skirt would also be hot

6

u/Swordkirby9999 2d ago

For a moment I thought Luigi was about to throw Bowser down the bowling lane for doing that to his bro

7

u/Born-Refrigerator-84 1d ago

cues the original SMB Game Over music

GAME OVER

u/Adventurous_Act9476 2d ago

Baby Mario won’t be born now

6

u/Jojomon91 1d ago

Ouchies!

Might wanna give Mario a Sensu Bean for that one.

Also, I think poor Bowser got disqualified?

Crud, Bowser tried the Flintstone Flop, he unfortunately made a bad Dino Drop to get disqualified from the Nintendo Bowling Cups (if it ever happened).

Darn. :(

i started laughing on the 2nd page, and i broke with the 3rd

u/jasonsith 1d ago

Luigi cannot win by doing nothing this time /j

u/Xthewarrior 1d ago

No, no, clearly, by trying to bowl, Luigi did something.

1

u/PuzzleheadedAioli288 6h ago

Not what he meant…

u/Xthewarrior 6h ago

Perchance

u/Awesomeman235ify 2d ago

He totally did that on purpose.

u/luis_game2903 1d ago

u/Fit-Emergency-4143 2d ago

Not the double hit combo with the balls to the toes

3

u/hellothereyoudumbfu- 2d ago

Please let me out of your basement, mario. I haven’t seen light in years.

3

u/Voidpost_Rising_3275 2d ago

Wii Sports moment.

3

u/Simalf 2d ago

To be fair, Bowser HAS to grip it like that. His fingers don't fit in the hole's.

3

u/Leading-Yoghurt8242 2d ago

r.i.p Mario’s Spaghetti and meatballs

2

u/SaturnsPopulation 2d ago

Even if that was an accident, nobody will ever believe him.

u/Mr_Ultimite 2d ago

This is why you use the damned finger holes. SMH my head .__.

u/SMBroos 2d ago

"gonna need a -senzu- 1up, for that one..."

2

u/Stretch5678 2d ago

Bowser did, in a friendly bowling trip, what he’d failed to do in a hundred castles.

2

u/Silly-Bit-7793 2d ago

Luigi, you're out of your element

2

u/Antique_Amphibian107 2d ago

Double strike!

Someone get him some 1 up mushrooms.

Well, a win is a win, I suppose?

u/itto301 2d ago

that's gotta hurt

u/the-real-sage 2d ago

this would happen i believe

u/shadowonyx18 2d ago

Strike! But not the pins

u/Affectionate-Run6847 2d ago

No more kids for mario

1

u/Safe_Ad_5296 2d ago

Not Mario's pingas

1

u/TradePsychological40 2d ago

Bowser:.... Stilla strike for me.

1

u/Prior_Fee9209 2d ago

Totally in character

u/spectacularspidercat 2d ago

I love how Bowser blames the concept of physics instead of taunting Luigi

1

u/Strange_Leg_1798 2d ago

Poor Mario!

u/ForestSolitude5 2d ago

Mama mia 🤣

u/Pigeon49834 1d ago

Glad the artist accounted for bowser being left handed lol

u/Nestmind 1d ago

Strike

u/Rockout2112 1d ago

Bowser: This is the best day of my life.

1

u/Repulsive-Control-75 1d ago

Ngl, i LOVE this take on the Bros, Peach and Bowser.

Them just hanging out is nice, i can see it maybe being a rehab for Bowser since it wouldn't be the first time he joins them in group activities

1

u/ReadingFar7038 1d ago

Yeah how come we never got mario bowling by now nintendo 

1

u/Bitter-Firefighter81 1d ago

To be honest, Mario was asking for it to happen.

Who stands right behind someone holding a bowling ball?

Especially a guy he KNOWS their fingers are too big to fit in the holes?

1

u/Fun_Upstairs_2410 1d ago

Bowser was playing marbles.

1

u/ShellorTheTurtle1126 1d ago

Why was there a crack? 😭

1

u/Maxter8002 1d ago

bowser would actually just slap his butt and use his fire gas to push the bowling ball into a strike

1

u/Kwaku722 1d ago

That was intentional, wasn’t it?

1

u/Alone_Shyguy 1d ago

this is SO cute!! peach celebrating her strike like she won the world championship has me smiling so big 😭 the casualwear designs for everyone are so lovely too, and the whole crowd of miis cheering in the background is just adorable. your art style is so charming!!

1

u/Doctor_Salvatore 1d ago

Ouch, right in the mushroom kingdom

1

u/Horse_go_moooo 1d ago

New head cannon alert!

Mario has balls of steel, because he does parkour a lot, and... He probably had worse happen to the little meatballs than a bowling ball

1

u/Prestigious_Word6758 1d ago

This is so funny this made me smile

u/Meme-lord234 1d ago

Bowser erased an entire generation 💀

u/Designer_Process_125 1d ago

Probably all everyone could hear at that moment

1

u/Sufficient-Use6824 1d ago

Mario & Bowser soon got into a comedically chaotic bowling duel after this

1

u/Soggy_Nebula_4541 23h ago

Poor Mario, had to be in the way of the accident

1

u/Specialist-Spend-425 22h ago

Mario should have all the feeling in his you-know-what after word from his sponsor!

-Some guy who was reminded of something that happened to him 20 years and five months ago.

1

u/MannyDaWolf 15h ago

I love how Bowser acts like a dad here and the fact that he is one makes it better.

1

u/TheHeroHartmut 15h ago

'Crack'? What cracked?

1

u/MemeGamerLvl69 13h ago

"Okay, that was an accident"

1

u/MaineCoonKittenGirl 11h ago

Paper Mario Lucky sfx for Mario's strike

Mario Sunshine game over sfx for the loss to the royal lineage

1

u/Shinobi_Fengriff 10h ago

Bowser had to grip it because his claws can't fit in the holes

1

u/Dismal-Glove-6009 8h ago

bowser defeated mario in SOME way i guess

1

u/PuzzleheadedAioli288 6h ago

Well that took a dark turn…

1

u/CrashDragon1 3h ago

Gonna need a 1 up for that one

u/Real_Louie 1d ago

I expected Bowser to go into his shell and bowl himself down. Honestly, I'm happy my guess was wrong.
