Bowser has become one of the most iconic and easily recognizable video game antagonists of all time due to the success of the ''Mario'' franchise. He garnered huge fandom and frequently appears in lists for greatest video game antagonists. Bowser's role in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story has been met with highly positive reception. IGN placed him at #2 out of 100,[24] and GamePro placed him at #9 out of 47.[25] GameSpot listed him at #9 in their "Top 10 Video Game Villains" article, stating "Of all the villains to make an appearance on this list, Bowser...has got to be the most interesting," later adding "While some people say Bowser's life may have gotten into a rut, the man has simply refined his game down to an everyday thing. He's focused, he's dedicated, and worst of all, he's patient."[26] Bowser ranked in the first slot on GameDaily's top 10 Nintendo characters that deserve their own games list, explaining if Yoshi and Wario get their own games, Bowser should too due to his being one of gaming's most nefarious villains.[27] In GameDaily's top 10 Smash Bros. characters list, he ranked sixth.[28] GameDaily also included him in their most persistent video game villains list.[29] However, Bowser has been also rated as the 4th biggest douchebag in gaming history by ScrewAttack, who said that he wants to "take Mario down".[30] IGN editor Craig Harris described Bowser as being a household name.[31] In 2011, Empire ranked him as the 23rd greatest video game character[32] while Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2013 featured Bowser first in their list of top 50 Villains.[33]
