Bowser Jr.

  • Though debuting in Super Mario Sunshine, the character was kept a secret prior to release, so Bowser Jr. is consequently not mentioned in the game's instruction booklet or much of the game's promotional material
  • In the game itself, he is generally only called "Junior"; he is referred to fully as "Bowser Jr." in full guidebooks published in Japanese, American English, and Italian
  • His full name is introduced within Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, which is also the first time his name in European Spanish (Bowsy) and German were published in any capacity
  • "Bowsy" is the only name of Bowser Jr. that does not directly mean "Bowser Jr."

Names in other languages

The contemporaneous name for each language is listed first. Subsequent names are listed in chronological order for each language, from oldest to newest, and have the media with which they are associated in the "Notes" column.
