Mario has determination, too

Bowsers determination easily makes him the best villian ever.

Many other villains are just as determined to conquer the world as he is. The difference in their case, however, is that they have real motives for kidnapping Peach, other than having a crush on her.

He has a massive army. And dozens of resources. Bowser is an incredible villian.

too bad he has the brain of a rock.
 
Admittedly, the first Galaxy was one of the rare occasions where Bowser seemed like a competent villain. When he repeated that plan in Galaxy 2? It pretty much lost its novelty by then. When I first saw that intro, I remember literally yawning, saying something along the lines of "been there, done that".

Exactly. They completely fail to show Bowser as what he was created to be: a powerful, threatening villain. Super Mario Galaxy was the first Mario game I played, and it got me a really good impression of Bowser. However…the following totally ruined it:

Super Mario Sunshine: Spends "family togetherness" with his son, Bowser Jr. in the most pathetic way.
New Super Mario Bros. Series: The ending has some cruel jokes about his weight. REAL intimidating.
 
Bower isn't evil evil. He's more like a guy who stirs up trouble.

Or maybe he just has a horrible way of showing his feelings towards Peach.

Yeah, it's pretty childish.

This is why I prefer other villains to him. Why can't a mainline Mario game have a legit menacing villain with unique motives and a detailed backstory?
 
I thought he wanted Peach for power.

He wants to kidnap Peach, marry her, and then lock her away forever. He could care less about Peach. He just wants to be king of the Mushroom Kingdom.

My question is why he doesn't just kill Peach. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have any kids or other living relatives.

Because it isn't Mario?

It's like asking King Dedede, the most recurring antagonist, to be a legit menacing villain with a detailed backstory.

Even then, though, Kirby has Dark Mind, Nightmate, Marx, and O2...

I think Bowser doesn't want Peach killed because he enjoys belittling and taunting her, but he isn't evil enough to destroy life.
 
Super mario world had terrible level design.
N64 Rainbow Road is the worst mario kart track ever.
Super mario rpg is overrated, as are mallow and geno.
New super mario bros ds is the best 2d mario platformer.
Super mario 3d world has terrible multiplayer.
