Adult Bowser has been portrayed as an infant in other media, namely in the episode "[[Two Plumbers and a Baby]]" in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and the episode "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]" in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', though the Baby Bowser character is considered a distinct entity from these forms. | Adult Bowser has been portrayed as an infant in other media, namely in the episode "[[Two Plumbers and a Baby]]" in ''[[The Super Mario Bros.

Baby Bowser | Baby Bowser reappears once again in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. He is one of the three main antagonists, alongside Kamek, and his older self later in the game. In this game, he plans to turn [[Egg Island]] into his vacation home, so the Yoshis, as well as adventuring to rescue Baby Luigi, go out to stop Baby Bowser's plan. At the end, the scenario is similar to the original ''Yoshi's Island''. He is once again awaken from his slumber, only to crush and kick Kamek out. He soon notices the "familiar gween donkey" and proceeds to try and ride Yoshi again. | ||
He is the penultimate boss of the game in a battle reminiscent of his battle in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. His voice in this game is a higher-pitched version of [[Bowser Jr.|his future son]]'s voice. After Mega Baby Bowser is defeated, he ends up shrinking back to Baby Bowser and the stork and Baby Luigi are rescued. However, if the Yoshis never used the [[Flutter Wings]], [[Bowser|his future self]] appears out of nowhere, making Yoshi and Baby Mario battle him before they can do so. | He is the penultimate boss of the game in a battle reminiscent of his battle in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.

Baby Bowser shows up again after the Bros. have defeated Princess Shroob and, despite being warned by the adult Princess Peach, he puts the Cobalt Star Shards together and completes the Cobalt Star, releasing the Elder Princess Shroob, who turns him into a [[Shroob mushroom]].
