{{main-wiki|Wikipedia|Bowsette}}

'''<span class="plainlinks">[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bowsette Bowsette]</span>''' is a meme which depicts [[Bowser]] using the [[Super Crown]] power-up (which, contradictory to the meme and its derivatives, can only be used by [[Toadette]] and cannot affect any other characters) to transform into a [[Princess Peach]] lookalike, stemming from a comic<ref>ayyk92 (September 19, 2018).

In the comic, Bowser uses the power-up after he and Mario are rejected in marriage proposal by Peach in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''{{'}}s ending, with the implication that the resulting Peach lookalike got into a relationship with Mario (depicted as being during ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''). The comic became immensely popular, after which the name "Bowsette" was appended to the character (despite not following [[Peachette]]'s naming structure properly), to the point of the Peachette page being the Super Mario Wiki's most visited page for a time, followed by associated pages,<ref>porplemontage (September 25, 2018).

Coincidentally, Yoshi is the only playable character in ''[[Fortune Street]]'' to [[List of Fortune Street quotes by Super Mario characters#General 13|request tax exemption]] should the player build a new tax office on the playing board, predating the meme by roughly five years.<ref>MarioBrothBlog (January 16, 2019).

*For a time, if one were to have searched for the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and the knowledge panel for that game appeared, a [[? Block]] could be seen next to the game title, and when clicked, a coin was produced along with the accompanying sound effect. Clicking on it 100 times played the [[1-Up Mushroom]] sound. The ? Block reappeared in the knowledge panel of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' during the period before the film's release.
