History of Bowser Jr.: Difference between revisions

[[File:NSMB BowserJr.png|thumb|left|Bowser Jr. in ''New Super Mario Bros.''.]]

Bowser Jr. appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' in the new ''Bowser's Fury'' mode, this time as an ally to [[Mario]]. He teleports Mario into [[Lake Lapcat]] using the magical paint from his brush, before explaining his father's plight to him and enlisting his help, to which Mario agrees. It is eventually revealed that he was essentially the reason why the events of the game happened, as he painted his dad while the latter was asleep, which infuriated the latter to such an extent that he became [[Fury Bowser]].

Bowser Jr. is fought four times, appearing at the end of the palaces in [[Pipe Rock Plateau]], [[Fluff-Puff Peaks]], [[Sunbaked Desert]], and [[Deep Magma Bog]], as well as in the beginning of the final level, [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage]]. He begins each encounter in his normal form, attacking by spinning back and forth in his shell. After taking damage once, he will transform into his Wonder Bowser Jr. form, and cause a variety of Wonder Effects that change the fight. Additionally, this game marks the first time since ''New Super Mario Bros.'' where Bowser Jr. fights outside of a vehicle or machine.

Bowser Jr. appears as a speedy character in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. His speed is very high, while having average power. However, his technique attribute is very low. Bowser Jr. does get his very own stadium, which is called [[Bowser Jr. Blvd.]].

Bowser Jr. makes an appearance in the Nintendo 3DS title, ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. This is his first appearance in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series and a ''Super Mario'' RPG game. He is a mini boss in the game. He is first seen in [[Warm Fuzzy Plains]], where he is chasing a Toad to obtain a rare sticker. During this battle, Bowser Jr. attacks by ramming into Mario with his Junior Clown Car, which allows him to avoid hammer attacks. Additionally, whenever Mario attacks him, he recovers all his HP. The only way to defeat him is to use the [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Scissors]] sticker obtained right before the battle. When Mario defeats him, he uses the [[paperization]] ability to take the bridge out, crumple it up, and throw it away to block Mario's way, and then flies away.  

When Mario attempts to reach [[Bowser's Sky Castle]] via [[Wiggler#Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Flutter]], Bowser Jr.'s [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla|airship]] blasts a [[Banzai Bill]] at Mario. He informs Mario that he no longer cares about rare stickers, but rather exacting revenge on Mario. He is last fought in his airship, where he implements a protective shield on his Junior Clown Car; this shield lasts until he has only 100 HP left. Additionally, he attacks by barraging the player with fireballs, spiked balls, and ramming Mario with his clown car, in rapid succession. Mario can defeat him most easily by using a Tail sticker to block the fireballs, repel his ramming attack, and return his spiked balls, the latter doing 50 damage per successful counterattack. Once Mario defeats him, Bowser Jr. is sent flying off the ship, not to be seen again until later. Although dialogue from both Kersti and Bowser Jr. himself implied that he perished as a result of the battle,<ref>''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' World 6-2 Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla<br/>DAAAAAANG! NOOOOO! WHYYYYY? This can't be happening! Could this mean… <big>I'M FINISHED?!</big> // (Bowser Jr. and his Jr. Clown Car is sent flying before exploding in the distance as Mario and Kersti watch) // Kersti: Hmph. A little brat to the bitter end.</ref> the ending credits revealed that he had survived, where he is seen with his dad riding on their own parade float.
