Bowser's mother



Mama Koopa is the mother of King Koopa, who she appears to be somewhat disappointed in and continously dots on; Mama Koopa is portrayed as being loudmouthed and overbearing, and is also hinted at being somewhat of a glutton.

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Do You Princess Toadstool Take This Koopa...?", King Koopa, unable to think of any friends to invite to his wedding to Princess Toadstool, who he had blackmailed into marrying him, had Mouser invite his mother, who he stated would come for the cake.

Having apparently received Mouser's invitation, Mama Koopa arrived at King Koopa's Castle as King Koopa was instructing his Koopa Troopa band to play better. Immediately showing praise for her son at having finally found a wife to settle down with, Mama Koopa, upon seeing Princess Toadstool, proclaimed that after Princess Toadstool and her son were married, they would honeymoon with her in the foulest, smelliest swamp in seven worlds. This news caused Princess Toadstool to instantly break into tears, which Mama Koopa misinterpreted as Princess Toadstool being overcome with joy.

When Princess Toadstool and King Koopa's wedding was about to begin, Mama Koopa noticed that King Koopa wasn't dressed for the occasion, and immediately sent her son away to get dressed. As King Koopa put on his wedding jacket and pants, which were earlier ruined and recently repaired by Mouser, Mama Koopa evidently became impatient and shrieked for her son to hurry; the sound of Mama Koopa's voice prompted King Koopa and Mouser to rush to the wedding, not noticing that King Koopa had left behind his Magic Scepter, which Mario managed to claim.

Before Princess Toadstool could say "I do" to King Koopa during the wedding, Super Mario, Super Luigi and Toad appeared to interrupt it with a hail of fireballs. As the various attending Koopa Troopas and Goombas went into a frenzied panic, Mama Koopa seemingly managed to avoid the chaos and the collapse of the wedding cake. After things died down and Princess Toadstool, after having learned that King Koopa had changed all the Mushroom People into stone once again after he freed them, broke off her marriage to King Koopa, Mama Koopa voiced her outrage at her son. Hitting King Koopa on the head with a drum, Mama Koopa yelled that she had to tell all the relatives that King Koopa was still a bachelor before telling King Koopa to sit in the corner for six days, an order which caused King Koopa to faint.

Bowser's Father is another non-game character who could have been married to Mama Koopa. Poopa La Koopa is her implied father, as he is Bowser's grandfather. Alternatively, Poopa La Koopa could also be the father of Bowser's Father.
