History
Wario's Woods
Seizer makes his first game appearance in the NES version of Wario's Woods where he was a boss character that Toad has to face off against. Seizer makes his appearance in the forty-ninth round and has 14 hit points. He has the power to make two complete rows of enemies fall at a time. He also sports the generic abilities of throwing enemies and re-locating himself to different areas of the stage. If Seizer is to re-materialize on Toad after re-locating himself, he instantly defeats Toad.
Super Mario (KC Deluxe)
Seizer appears in two chapters of the Wario's Woods adaptation. He is summoned with Boom and Mad by Fauster, after regaining some of his powers with Wario sacrificing Baby Luigi to him. Seizer imediately starts targetting the heroes, but summoning Goro to squash them, but the heroes manage to defeat him. After the heroes split up, Birdo encounters Seizer. Creeped out by his skeleton, Birdo flings her bomb bag and her tail against Seizer, breaking his bones and killing him. Before continuing on her path, Birdo makes a puzzle with his pieces.
Super Mario-kun
Seizer appears in Super Mario-kun volume 12 as the main antagonist of chapter 12. Mario, Luigi, Toad, Yoshi, Birdo, and Wanda are separated after an avalache in the snowy region of Wario's Woods. Toad, all alone and scared, trips on Seizer skull, awakening him. He presents himself as Wario's herborist, lost in the snow while looking for some herbs for his master and died due to the cold (even his monster minions are all bones). When Seizer explains he was looking for mushroom powder, Toad flees, but gets trapped after Seizer tossed his skeleton onto him, but Yoshi emerges from the snow munching on the bones, leaving only his skull. Seizer then freezes Yoshi and Toad runs, but he is too scared to make it far and when the rest of his friends arrive, they are too cold to do something. After Yoshi, still frozen, takes a magic bullet for him, Toad decides to face his fears and his courage even arms him with an invincible sword that he uses to defeat Seizer.
