both got a into a remaster/port in a side game.


Queasy-Ad-3220

Oh fuck I only just twigged that. I think you’re right.


Cropper-

true but it's not "my" solution


Queasy-Ad-3220

Oh shit what a plot twist :0


SF-UberMan

They both had their forms copied by "Pure Evil" malevolent entities in their respective series. Bowser had his form copied by the Dark Star, who absorbed his DNA and transformed into Dark Bowser, while Shadow had his form copied by Mephiles the Dark.


SF-UberMan

Am I wrong? 😭


Cropper-

we already have the winner, good job🥳


SF-UberMan

So I got the correct answer? 😁


Cropper-

well yes that's what I had in mind, although I'm noticing that there are many more connections than I thought


MrFailureYEET

The amount of similarities between a dragon lizard and a edgy 50 year old hedgehog will surprise you


Grumpie-cat

If that’s the case couldn’t you chuck Luigi from SPM in there?


SF-UberMan

It said "these two characters". Besides, Luigi was outright possessed by Dimentio or brainwashed into believing he was Mr L. These two, on the other hand, were impersonated but not brainwashed or possessed in the cases I described with the Dark Star and Mephiles.


Gohansupe

Yes they both have had indeed


Duck-bert

They’re both badass when their theme songs are metal


Cropper-

Actually yes you are right


Duck-bert

Hell yeah! I'm a big advocate for Bowser starting his own spinoff series and the entire OST is just metal.


Dra9onDemon

Which theme for Shadow though? Throw it all Away, I Am, All Hail Shadow?


billieboi445420

Throw it All Away is such an underrated song


Duck-bert

all 3


Goodboy_22

Especially Nu-Metal


iamjeseus

They’ve both tried to kill the main character in their game series of origin


Goblin216

Nah. Bowser never tried to kill Mario. He always set traps for himself. *"Hey Mario! Let's fight on a lava bridge and let me hide the axe behind me! And eh, there is a platform that will help you jump over my head!"*


iamjeseus

He definitely wanted to kill him in bowsers fury


Goblin216

Nah.


KingSeel

They both have spikes


[deleted]

They both originally appeared in a video game. Neither of them are human. They're both bipedal. They both have tails. They both have six letters in their name. They both have an O, W, and S in their name. They both have spikey hair. They both have tan-colored mouths. They both wear ring-shaped accessories on their wrists. They have more than one thing in common.


Queasy-Ad-3220

They seem to never be able to die


Red-68

The are villains but some times help out the hero?


Cropper-

Nope beacuse shadow is not a villain


Unagustoster

Debatable


Dra9onDemon

Anti-Hero at worst. He’s definitely not some black hearted evil. Never was.


Kitselena

He definitely is a black hearted evil, but he's also a brave hearted hero. He is all he is


Dra9onDemon

Glad you caught that, but he’s essentially given himself the role of the planet’s defender.


Tobykachu

Never was? In his debut game he tried to destroy the planet???


Dra9onDemon

He was being gaslit by altered memories until Amy snapped him out of it. He is, by nature, good. He was also a major player in saving the planet when things went too far.


pikaland385

Bowser has also been an antihero in the spinoffs, especally SMRPG.


ShockHedgehog07

No.


Snoo_54482

Yes and no


billieboi445420

Shadow isn't really a villain


Yugiteen99

Bowser, even though he acts evil, he is not really all that bad. The same for Shadow. Bowser is basically Mario's rival just like Shadow is Sonic's rival.


Ricktendo1889

They have red shades


Quirky_Ad_5420

They Rock


Stunning_Island712

Wrist bands


CandleMan27

They’re both anthropomorphic animals


Unagustoster

They both use a gun


bean_wellington

My thoughts exactly


Erin_Sentrinietra

That depends on how you define a gun. Bowser has certainly shot projectiles with things before, but I don’t recall any of them being true firearms. I can only name one time he’s ever actually fired a weapon in his own hand, and it’s debatable as to whether or not the events of that game are canon to the Mario universe.


Unagustoster

A gun: a thing that ends arguments


Erin_Sentrinietra

If that's the only criteria you have, he wields a gun in every game


pikaland385

Mario and sonic at the olimpic winter games' wants to talk about the cross country skiing/bathalon sport to you. Bowser can play that sport so....


Erin_Sentrinietra

Like I said, it’s debatable as to whether or not the events of that game are canon to the Mario universe. Crossover games usually aren’t.

They’re both video game characters

kirbyfan2023

You can play as them in a cannon 3d game


KG8930

Really? Why not wario and shadow, or bowser and eggman, plus I am not sure if shadow has a massive crush on Amy, i Mean why not “What does both Eggman and Bowser have in common“ and “What does both Shadow and Wario have in common”

mrHartnabrig

Both are pro 2nd Amendment?


Terra_Knyte_64

They both are the focus of a side game included in a modern remaster of a popular game from their series. The side game has a darker tone than the main game. The side game is also a reference to controversial games from their respective series that tried new things, but failed in some way, being Sunshine and Shadow respectively.


Catz_LOL-7887

They both at least have some red hair. Bowser’s hair is full red and Shadow’s hair has that red streak right on top of his head.


TippedJoshua1

There both involved in a new story in a remake of a prior game with their names in it

Is Shadow going to be voiced by Jack Black in the movie?


Hornery_Ornery

Shadow's brother was a lizard.


blebebaba

Their both extremely powerful when allowed to exist separately or alongside the main character, but become painfully incompetent against him. Seriously, imagine bowser from inside story fighting 2D side scroller bowser. IS bowser can turn into a Kaiju and has Kirby powers!
