“Someday, when I'm bigger, I wanna fight that Mario again!”
Bowser Jr., Super Mario Sunshine

Bowser Jr. (sometimes written as Bowser Junior) is Bowser's eighth child. He is seemingly the youngest of Bowser's eight children and the Koopa King's favorite offspring (at least, for the time being). His other seven children, who used to help Bowser's plots, have now grown up and sometimes conquered whole kingdoms themselves. Bowser Jr., on the other hand, is allowed to accompany his father in various schemes, such as Super Mario Sunshine and New Super Mario Bros.. Bowser Jr. seems to be the perfect son for Bowser, as he wants to do nothing but his father's will (i.e. kidnap Peach and destroy Mario). The evil king himself even shows emotions toward his new son, a side of Bowser that is rarely seen.

Character Description

Characteristics

Jr.'s skin tone is the same as most of the Koopaling's, having the same yellow and tan skin complexion, as well as a lime green head. Jr. has one, fang-like tooth in the upper corner of the side of his snout. He also has a ribbed, padded stomach and padded feet. His mouth is wide, puffy, and convexed, with a large snout. He has small, circular eyes that are black in color.

Jr. also has small spikes on each side of his head, each being circled with orange rings. His size varies from game to game like his father's, but he usually appears bigger than his older brother, Lemmy, and has a chubby frame similar to Ludwig's.

Bowser Jr. is physically powerful like his father in spite of his small frame. He is also shown to be fast, as well as skilled, though at times he may be given varied stats.

Jr.'s hairstyle is a top-ponytail held by a metal hair-tie. It is fiery in both color and appearance, similar to his father's hair. He also has thick eyebrows of the same fashion.

Clothing

Jr. is portrayed as wearing few items of clothing, similar to his relatives. His main article of clothing is a white bib that's decorated with drawn-on fangs and worn like a mask. Rather than wearing the spiked cuffs the male koopalings have, Jr. has spikeless, metal cuffs on his wrists. His shell design is very simmilar to his father's. Jr.'s shell is green, lined with a white encasing, and the multiple, short spikes are circled with orange rings.

Personality and Traits

Bowser Jr. can be summed up as a bold and energetic troublemaker. His trouble making side is seen as he tricks Mario in both Super Mario Sunshine and New Super Mario Bros. According to Mario Kart Wii, Bowser Jr. inherited his father's bad attitude, evident in his motto ("Grin and bear it. When that don't work, grin and crush it."). He is also bratty, spoiled, and short tempered, though in Mario Party DS it is stated he has a lonely side. His favorite hobbies are stealing cookies from other kids in day cares and scribbling (which may explain the widespread graffiti that was made at Isle Delfino).

Relationships (ABC Order)

Bowser

Main article: Bowser

Bowser Jr. idolizes his father and strives to be like him. Bowser tends to treat Bowser Jr. as a minion sometimes, but usually shows a bit more emotion towards him. When Bowser admits he conned Jr. in Sunshine, Jr. admitted he knew all along and forgave his father, showing how they trust each other. Bowser also never gets frustrated at his son when he fails, something that happens often with his other minions. While Bowser does care for his son, his selfishness and greed seems to overshadow this; in Super Mario Galaxy, Bowser grieved over the impending destruction of his galaxy rather than think about the welfare of his own son. Nevertheless, Bowser Jr. and Bowser have a very strong bond and are seen together as partners in various sports titles.

Koopalings

Main article: Koopalings

Bowser Jr.'s relationship with his brothers and sister is for the moment unknown. So far, it is known that he is the smallest of the eight children (and the youngest). He also ranks slightly above them, making the seven others technically subordinate to him (this does not stop some of them from abandoning him on the airship, which may be intentional or accidental). However, he is known to help them, by dropping them of at their respective castles in his airship as well as watching over them. The only scene in which he directly interacts with the other Koopalings is after the credits in New Super Mario Bros Wii, where he points a waking up Larry Koopa at the rest of the Koopalings, who are lifting up an unconscious Bowser, and they both proceed to help them.

Mario

Main article: Mario

Bowser Jr. was told by his father Mario was evil, and took his "Mama" away. He has since been trying to cause Mario trouble, which brings him joy. But at the end of Super Mario Sunshine, Bowser tells his son that Peach really is not his mama. He has attempted twice to stop Mario by himself mainly, and has had help by his father in some ways, such as use of the Koopa Troop and weaponry.

Princess Peach

"I know, she's not really my Mama"Super Mario Sunshine

Main article: Princess Peach

Bowser Jr. seems to have no mother, though he is seen wishing that Peach would play a maternal role in his life, shown when he called her 'mama' in Mario Superstar Baseball even though he knows she is not related to him. In his Brawl trophy it was revealed that the reason he had kidnapped her in Super Mario Sunshine and in New Super Mario Bros. was because he felt strongly about her. In Super Mario Sunshine, Jr. tried to get Peach to join him and Bowser in their slime tub, but Peach politely refused the offer.

When Mario gives chase to Bowser across the universe, Bowser Jr. tries to intercept the plumber and make his father proud.

Portrayals

Bowser Jr. is voiced by Dolores Rogers. For some reason, on Tara Strong's official website, the voice actress is said to have voiced Junior in Super Mario Sunshine, even though she is not listed in the game's credits. She however, voiced Bowser Jr.'s older brothers Hip and Hop on The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and the Super Mario World cartoon. In Mario Strikers Charged Football, Super Mario Galaxy, and Mario Kart Wii, he is voiced by Caety Sagoian.

Trivia

  • According to the Mario Power Tennis official website, Bowser Jr. resides at "48 Lava Cul-De-Sac, Magma Manor."
  • In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Baby Bowser looks exactly like Bowser Jr. However, his bandanna is different in appearance.
  • Ironically, while his siblings were fought on Airships in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Jr. was fought in towers in New Super Mario Bros., they swapped roles in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, where Jr. is fought only on the Airships and the Koopalings are encountered in the towers of each world.
  • Bowser Jr. is left-handed. Oddly enough, in Mario Power Tennis, by default he uses a tennis racket with his right hand. Of course, the player can make him a lefty.
  • Bowser Jr. is the only one of Bowser's children who is not named after a real person, but rather, a fictional character.
  • Like his father, he seems to have an inconsistent size. He was smallest in Super Mario Sunshine and some spinoffs, but as of New Super Mario Bros. and its sequel he is roughly Mario's size. In Super Mario Galaxy he has grown considerably, towering over Princess Peach.
