How does Bowser keep coming back stronger than before? One piece of fan-art dares to answer that question, to humorous effect.

Artist Anthony Wyatt has released a short animated loop – depicting the Koopa King’s possible training regime. While Bowser will probably never beat Mario for good, it’s always fun to imagine him trying to bulk up before every fight.

Check it out below, in all of its exercise-montage glory.

I don't recall ever attempting a proper walk cycle, so here's Bowser staying fit. #animation pic.twitter.com/sFm4vrazkh
