Bowser Jr.

Fighter's Biostats

Full Name:

Prince Bowser Koopa Jr.

Age:

Unspecified, but probably in his preteens (in human years, 10?)

Race/Species:

Koopa Troopa

Home/Nation:

Bowser's Castle

Friends/Allies:

King Bowser Koopa, probably the Koopalings and any member of the Koopa Troop

Enemies:

Mario Mario, Luigi Mario, Princess Peach Toadstool, Yoshi, Toad... basically, anyone who tries to interfere with his dad's plans on taking over the Mushroom Kingdom.

Powers and Abilities:

As Bowser's son, Bowser Jr. has a major command of the Koopa Troop, so he can utilize the strength of any part of the army. Bowser Jr. still has Professor E. Gadd's magic paintbrush, which allows him to create messes and graffiti. Thanks to the ascot around his neck, Bowser Jr. can transform into Shadow Mario, a watery figure that resembles Mario. Presumably, Junior would also have the abilities of his father, to a lesser extent.

Quoted as Saying:

"You again? Don't you ever give up?"

"I'm coming. At every turn."

"Yeaaah! I won!"

"This time, I won't even need my dad's help to take care of you!"

Fighter Summary:
Bowser Jr. is the son of King Bowser, and the youngest of his eight children. Junior is known for his heavy admiration of his father. Junior's first act of infamy was the pollution of Isle Delphino. Posing as Mario, Junior used the Magic Paintbrush he obtained from E. Gadd's Lab to pollute the island of Delphino, where Princess Peach, Mario, Toadsworth, and several Toads would be vacationing. Early on, Peach is nearly kidnapped by Shadow Mario, and is kidnapped for real not too long after. This time, Junior reveals himself and that Bowser had told him Peach was his mother. After Bowser's defeat at the end, Bowser confesses that Peach wasn't his mother and that Bowser lied to him, but Junior seems to have known this and tells Bowser that he'll continue to help in his plans. And indeed, Bowser Jr. has loyally followed Bowser in almost any of his more recent plots. Junior will follow in his father's footsteps when it becomes his time, but for now, he will enjoy helping his father try to take the Mushroom Kingdom. (Written by Light Bear)

Bowser Jr's Moves:

STANDARD SPECIAL Moves

Fire Breath

Like his father, Bowser Jr. has the ability to breathe fire. This is essentially a weaker version of his father's Fire Breath. However, it will maintain its power longer than Bowser's
UP SPECIAL Moves

Bullet Bill

Junior catches a ride on a passing Bullet Bill. Junior can ride on it for a fairly lengthy distance before it explodes (it also explodes on contact). The path can be loosely controlled, and, while the explosion doesn't hurt Junior, it hurts anyone else caught in it.
SIDE SPECIAL Moves

Mechakoopa

Junior throws out a Mechakoopa from Super Mario World. This is sort of like King Dedede's Waddle Dee Toss, except the Mechakoopas can be jumped on and picked up by all characters.
DOWN SPECIAL Moves

Disguise

Junior puts on his ascot around his neck, turning into Shadow Mario. His stats are closer to a heavier, stronger Mario as opposed to Junior's resemblance to a weaker, faster Bowser. Also, Shadow Mario fights primarily with the Magic Paintbrush.

Shadow Mario

Shadow Mario's Moves:

STANDARD SPECIAL Moves

Paint Bomb

Shadow Mario, using the Magic Paintbrush, launches a blob of paint forwards. Upon contact, it will explode, hitting and damaging anybody within its small explosion radius.
UP SPECIAL Moves

Paint Vault

Shadow Mario uses the Magic Paintbrush to vault, gaining good horizontal distance and fair vertical distance. I'm not sure how, but he can still do this in the air.
SIDE SPECIAL Moves

Paint Swirl

Shadow Mario pirouettes, spaying toxic paint all around him. The paint is flung fairly close to Shadow Mario, and is only flung sideways.
DOWN SPECIAL Moves

Transform

Shadow Mario reverts back to Bowser Jr. There's not much more to say about it.
FINAL SMASH Moves

Mecha Bowser

Bowser Junior/Shadow Mario dashes offstage for a second, but Mecha Bowser, a gigantic, Bowser-like robot, soon appears in the stage background. Here, he can fire a ludicrous Bullet Bills and Bob-Ombs at the smashers. The subtle difference between the different character's Final Smashes is that Bowser Jr. seems to prefer Bob-Ombs and Shadow Mario seems partial to Bullet Bills.
