I found Rawk Hawk to be more of a comic relief than an actual threat.

Same, considering Bowser squashed him instantly and Mario has beaten Bowser many, many times.

SMG and... maybe SMW Bowser are pretty formidable, I guess. He's usually more of a evil-ish lunk in the RPGS, which I think suits him okay (at the least, it explains how Mario bests him so often, and contrasts the series better with the pure-evil Ganon/dorf of Zelda).

Most threatening: Undoubtedly Galaxy. Like most every fight with him in any game ever* (except some others, including the Paper Mario series**), the battles were comical, but the initial raid on Toad Town was nothing short of impressive.
I agree with this completely. It really seemed like war.

The SMG sequence may have been quite threatening, but it fails for two reasons: Kidnapping Peach (my, what a surprise) and involving that baby clone who was not necessary to add to the Mario Universe (seriously, somebody's child doesn't need to look exactly like him).
Unless you are cloned, you do not need to look like a midget version of your dad. Okay Bowser Jr.?

And in fact, he doesn't.
That was a joke.

Bowser Jr. looks EXACTLY like how dad looked in Yoshi's Island. Even so much to the fact they both have that "wabble wabble" talk.

Actually, Bowser Jr. and YI Baby Bowser are pretty different looking. It's the PIT Baby Bowser that looks exactly like him, because Alphadream wasn't paying attention.

Or it may have been their intention to retcon his original appearance and make Bowser Jr. a spitting image of Bowser.

That game is responsible for destroying the one last shred of sense that any conceivable non-link between Bowser, Jr. and Baby Bowser had.

Am I the only one who doesn't find it weird? There's already an incredibly strong link; they're the same thing but one has no As.

Baby Bowser: Bowser as a kid
Bowser Jr.: Bowser's kid

Why is it so weird for a kid to look just like their parents? I see it all the time. In fact, I'm pretty much the spitting image of my father when he was my age.
No! I don't want that!

It was fine when it was just Baby Bowser, in fact, I LIKED Baby Bowser, that little pain. However, it is clear Bowser Jr. was inspired by him, so I don't know if I like him or not anymore.
