Trivia

A screenshot from the E3 2019: Nintendo Direct presentation, depicting a confused Bowser questioning Yoshiaki Koizumi how Nintendo of America president, Doug Bowser, is the "right Bowser".

  • In the Japanese version of the E3 2019: Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo had to add a written explanation for the "right/wrong Bowser" joke, as it would have went over some of their audience's heads, due to Bowser being known as 大魔王クッパ (King Koopa) in Japan, and therefore they would have not gotten the irony with Doug Bowser's name. Text above Bowser reads "バウザー (クッパの英語名)" (Bowser (Koopa's English name)), and text above Doug Bowser reads "ダグ・バウザー (米国任天堂社長)" (Doug Bowser (President of Nintendo of America)). The Korean and Chinese versions of the presentation also added a written explanation for similar reasons.
