I'm thinking... I don't think he's been brought up. Honestly, SMG Bowser is basically just Bowser but with a wider plan and more resources, and Bowser as is has never been anything remotely close to a Complete Monster. With King Boo, you can say that he suffered a major character turn-around and that's what made him so heinous. With Bowser in the SMG games, there's no character change. It's still mainstream Bowser trying to take over something and kidnapping the princess in the process, and I think that his plan to ultimately recreate the universe fails the truly heinous counter when Dimentio and King Boo ultimately just set out to destroy it outright, both for equally petty motives. Bowser's other crimes in that game (attacking the Mushroom Kingdom) don't bolster him much as it's standard warlord behavior and Bowser's committed actions like them several times.

I'll give one final point of contention; was it ever explicitly stated in-universe that Bowser set out to destroy/remold the universe as opposed to simply conquering it? It's a point I want to throw out there.
