I thought his name was Koopa.
And I thought this thread said browser so my vote was going to be Netscape, then Opera.

In Japan, yes. In US he's Bowser.
Super Mario: The Strange Origins of Bowser's Real Name
He's one of the most recognizable villains in video game history, but there's a good chance you don't know the full story of Bowser's real name.

I think the snes remaster of nes themed ones have the gnarliest looking bowser.

He was a mustache wearing Italian American plumber precisely because that was relatable.Bowser wasn't that cool in the nes game, which also had Mouser
I still can't believe those games stared an italian mustache-wearing plumber (not really easy to identify with) and were massive hits.
Hmmm...
I could identify with Link (Link to the Past was a cool game), as a kid, but not Mario.

Jon Bauman, he used to be with Sha Na Na and then briefly co-hosted the Hollywood Squares-Match Game Hour with Gene Rayburn.
Koopa taking a lava bath was simpler days. 
Then there was that time he kidnapped Milli Vanilli for his daughter to kiss.
Ya, Mario and Luigi look like they hit the mushrooms pretty hard.
The box that forces the whole world to dance at 9:00 is pretty evil!
Then like all idols that kids have like Milli Vanilli, time moves forward.
Mine were Hulk Hogan, Mark McGuire, Lance Armstrong, and Bill Cosby.

Of all the other Bowsers to pick from, I guess the current President of Nintendo of America would have just been too easy, you picked someone else.

keeping it real
McGwire still seems like someone to admire unless I missed something. Didn't he give millions to a kids charity he founded?Mine were Hulk Hogan, Mark McGuire, Lance Armstrong, and Bill Cosby.
I mean sure he went on gear but so that's not really a morally reprehensible act

He's more relatable than Sonic the Hedgehog, who is considered by the generation who grew up with Mario to be a Poochie.
I never had any sega machine, so haven't played Sonic at all
I wouldn't be surprised if Mario is more relatable than Sonic, but Sonic wasn't even human - and back in the day you didn't have the animal-form teen craze either.

Which cow makes the best OT threads? Our plains-cow
I'm guessing you mean furries, but I'm pretty sure they predate the early 90s.
Hm, maybe they do (meant en masse, not just a few cases here and there)? I don't recall such in (reasonably) global media I came to contact with as a kid (movies, computer game magazines, mostly).
