Bowser Jr. made his debut in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' as an antagonist. Since his debut, he made plenty of appearances in the core series and spin-offs as the antagonist alongside Bowser. Like the rest of the main cast, he made appearances in spin-offs as a playable character. | Bowser Jr. made his debut in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' as an antagonist.

Bowser Jr.'s exact size varies from game to game like his father's. He was smallest in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and some spin-offs, where he is half of Mario's size. As of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series he is roughly Mario's size. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'' he has grown considerably, towering over Princess Peach. He usually appears to be larger than Lemmy, and has a chubby frame similar to Ludwig's, though smaller. | Bowser Jr.'s exact size varies from game to game like his father's.

Bowser Jr. is bold and energetic, but also easygoing and friendly depending on the situation. He often acts as an adversary to Mario and friends and helps his father make trouble for them. This has been the case ever since his father pit him against Mario in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. This continues in several games such as ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and more. Despite that, he does not mind being an ally to Mario and is seemingly warming up to him overtime, evident in games such as ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' and ''Bowser's Fury''. In ''Fortune Street'' and ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', he is shown to have a sense of humor, partaking in sarcasm and running gags. Bowser Jr. often looks up to and takes after his father, evident in his motto (''"Grin and bear it. When that don't work, grin and crush it."'') from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Just like his father, he often hates losing, sometimes believing his opponents cheat or just get lucky. Despite that, they are fairly different. For example, he often has a better attitude than his father, evident in games such as ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' and ''Super Mario Party'' where he simply accepts defeat and vows to work harder to do better next time. | Bowser Jr. is bold, reckless, and energetic, but also easygoing, helpful, and friendly depending on the situation.

He is also quite bright, with his Final Smash trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' stating he is brainier than his father. For example, he is fascinated by machinery that he often invents and employs in his fights against Mario, such as his [[Boomsday Machine]] from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' and the pinball machine in ''Mario Party DS''. He is described by that game as obsessive about little details in the things that he makes as well as never being quite satisfied with his own work. He also has a habit, when energized or excited, of jumping from one foot to the other. However, this varies depending on the situation as in other cases he is shown to be easygoing and laid-back. It is revealed by his father in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' that Bowser Jr. desires to be a hero. This explains why his father initially had to deceive him to go against Mario in the first place as well as why he often mentions his father as his motivation for being villainous. | He is also quite bright, with his Final Smash trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' stating he is brainier than his father.

He is just as acrobatic as Mario and can perform the same jump techniques. He is also able to take on his Shadow Mario form through the use of his [[magic brush]] and a bandana that has drawing of Mario's moustache. When using his magic brush, he can create [[goop]] and [[graffiti]] infused with different effects, enemies such as [[Gooble]]s and [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeeper]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and even bosses such as [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]].<ref>{{file link|ESMB Bowser Jr Graffiti.png|An excerpt of page 107 of the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.''}} The title of the box is 「クッパＪｒ．の落書き!」 which means ''The graffiti of Bowser Jr.!'' and the text says 「本作の敵キャラクターたちは、クッパJr.が落書きで生み出したという設定。そのため、水に弱かったり、デザインが他のシリーズと少々異なっていたりする。ヨッシーも、同様の理由で水に落ちると消えてしまう。」 which means ''This game's enemy characters are created by Bowser Jr.'s graffiti. That is why they are weak to water, and differ slightly in design from the rest of the series. Yoshi also vanishes if he falls in water for the same reason.''</ref> His graffiti also has the power to transport people, as seen in ''Bowser's Fury''. He also has high levels of skill at wielding it. He rotates the magic brush with one hand effortlessly and uses it as an offensive combat weapon against his opponents. Bowser Jr. is shown to be fast and skilled, though at times he may be given varied stats. Being the heir to the royal Koopa line, Bowser Jr. seems to have some of his father's traits. He is usually physically powerful like his father in spite of his small frame, and has shown off great levels of durability to the point of being able to survive near-death situations. This is evident in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', where he falls into the gigantic sun after his father's defeat, and is later shown to be alive back in Mushroom Kingdom, as well as ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'', where he survives after being crushed by Bowser's collapsing castle. Like his father, Bowser Jr. can do a normal shell spin, but in some games he has also shown he is able to do a 'reverse shell spin' where he balances on one of the spikes on his shell and spins like a top, usually with his arms, legs, and head outside of the shell. | ||
Bowser Jr. was, at first, unskilled in breathing fire as shown in ''Mario Strikers Charged'' where he attempts to breathe fire like his father in his entrance, only to breathe smoke and a tiny flame. This changes in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', where he can breathe fireballs that can home onto opponents, and creates a large blaze of fire when the fireball is on contact with the ground. In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', he can breathe fireballs consecutively. In ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', he is able to breathe a stream of fire. He can also withdraw and duck into his shell for offensive and defensive purposes and uses Koopa Shells as weapons in ''New Super Mario Bros''. In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', he has a [[Super Ability]] that shrinks his opponents called [[Sonic Roar!]] where he emits large sonic waves by screaming loudly. He uses this as a [[Mega Strike]] as well. Bowser Jr. appears to excel in magic as shown in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' where he turned [[Daisy]] into a stone statue, as well as in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' where he performs necromancy to revive his dad at the end of the game. This is also supported in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', where he can [[Paperize]], create a defensive shield, and heal. Bowser Jr. is also surprisingly strong for his size as demonstrated in ''Super Mario Maker'', where he possesses the ability to ground pound and paralyze any opponents that stay on the ground, an ability performed by most large and strong characters like Bowser, Morton, Roy, and Ludwig. He demonstrates his deceptively vast strength once more in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', where he can easily throw a gigantic cannonball several times his own size at the Mario Bros. and Paper Mario. | Bowser Jr. was, at first, unskilled in breathing fire as shown in ''Mario Strikers Charged'' where he attempts to breathe fire like his father in his entrance, only to breathe smoke and a tiny flame.
