The Junior Clown Car is a miniature version of Bowser's Koopa Clown Car commonly used by Bowser Jr. Like the original, it is a helicopter-like vehicle with an innocent clown face on the front, which has the ability to change its expression, but with a smaller smile.
History
Super Mario series
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Junior Clown Car is introduced as Bowser Jr.'s version of the Koopa Clown Car. Bowser Jr. uses this vehicle twice in battle, and for the third time, he ditches it for the original clown car. Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad can also ride smaller copters exclusively in World 6-
Airship. These smaller copters highly resemble a usual Clown Car, except it lacks a face and feature an M or L, or a yellow or blue mushroom logo on it depending on the player. Shaking the Wii Remote produces a move similar to that of a Spin Jump, and crashing into Bowser Jr. with this maneuver is required to shove him into the surrounding electricity.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U
The Junior Clown Car returns in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U. Like with the Koopalings stylizing their Airships, Bowser Jr. has customized his Junior Clown Car with various enhancements, including boxing gloves. Similar to the Paper Mario version of the Koopa Clown Car and Junior Clown Car, Bowser Jr.'s car has its angry face on for the entire time.
Bowser Jr. and the Junior Clown Car first appear in the first level of Soda Jungle (The Mighty Cannonship in New Super Mario Bros. U, and All Aboard! in New Super Luigi U). Like past encounters, it has a happy face on initially, although it briefly resorts to its angry face when firing Torpedo Teds. After he is defeated the first time, he uses the boxer variation in his second battle in the last level of Meringue Clouds (Boarding the Airship and Bowser Jr. Showdown, respectively), which also contains a payload of Bob-ombs.
In the final level of both games, Bowser Jr. appears in the Junior Clown Car chasing after Mario and attacking by pounding the ground with the car. Bowser Jr. later uses his standard Junior Clown Car to fight Mario alongside Bowser. Unfortunately for him, Mario is able to pounce him and carjack him, as well as use the vessel to ram into his father's head. Bowser Jr. later uses it to escape when Bowser inadvertently destroys what was left of the Airship, with Bowser and the Koopalings holding on (the latter via the former's tail).
Mario Party series
Mario Party 9
In Mario Party 9, Bowser Jr. is seen in Pair of Aces in his Junior Clown Car. When the players reach the end of a stage, Bowser appears in the Koopa Clown Car as well. Bowser and Bowser Jr. also ride their respective vehicles in the ending. Additionally, in the Bumper Sparks minigame, players use vehicles very similar to the Junior Clown Car's playable counterparts to bump into Bowser Jr. to try to knock him into the electric barrier, just like New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Mario Party 10
The Junior Clown Car makes an appearance in Mario Party 10, functioning primarily as Bowser Jr.'s mode of transportation. When doing an event that causes players to lose mini-stars (in Mario Party mode) or hearts (in Bowser Party mode), it gains its boxing glove attachments from New Super Mario Bros U.
Mario Party: Star Rush
In Mario Party: Star Rush, the Junior Clown Car is used by Bowser Jr. in Toad Scramble mode and Bowser Jr.'s Pound for Pound.
Paper Mario series
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
The Junior Clown Car appears in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It's mostly used as his mode of transportation, but Bowser Jr. uses it during all of his battles. In Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla, it shows its angry face for the first time in the game, and can either shoot fireballs or Spiked Balls.
Paper Mario: Color Splash
A Junior Clown Car makes a cameo appearance in Emerald Circus of Paper Mario: Color Splash.
Mario & Luigi
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Template:Dtenemy Bowser Jr. and the Junior Clown Car both appear as the final boss of the Battle Ring in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. While it is not his vehicle's debut, it is officially named the Junior Clown Car for the first time. It guards him from attacks and at one part in the battle becomes its own enemy target separate from Bowser Jr.
When Mario or Luigi tries to use the Jump attack on the Junior Clown Car while Bowser Jr. is outside the Clown Car, they will not attack it, but instead will get in it, to throw stuff at Bowser Jr.
The Prima guide erroneously refers to the Clown Car Bowser, Private Goomp and Sergeant Guy ride on in the ending as the Junior Clown Car.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Both the normal version and paper versions of the Junior Clown Car appear in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. They are initially used by the Bowser Jr.s to flee Mount Brrr with the Kameks and Princesses. Later, the paper version is used by Paper Bowser Jr. at Bowser's Castle to recapture the Princesses after they escape. Both versions are used during the boss battle against the duo.
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros Edition
The Junior Clown Car is used by Bowser Jr. for the entirety of Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros Edition. For his special move "Junior Smash", Bowser Jr. rams the party with the Junior Clown Car.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings make their Super Smash Bros. series debut as unlockable newcomers in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and starting newcomers in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, piloting the Junior Clown Car. Each Koopaling drives a specific-colored Junior Clown Car that have yellow lights for eyes instead of black proper eyes like Bowser Jr.'s version. Although, since the Koopalings are alternate costumes for Bowser Jr., they all fight identically; using various weapons the clown car is equipped with. As a matter of fact, ignoring Bowser Jr.'s up special and Final Smash, it is the Junior Clown Car itself that is doing all of the attacking. In addition, the player takes less damage if the clown car is getting hit, rather than Bowser Jr. or the Koopalings.
According to Palutena's guidance conversations when used with one of the Koopalings, their versions of the Junior Clown Car are a mass-produced type, with Pit concluding that Bowser Jr. must have "preferential treatment".
Super Mario Maker
The Junior Clown Car makes an appearance in Super Mario Maker, replacing the Koopa Clown Car when using the New Super Mario Bros. U style. Aside from it's minor atheistic change, it functions exactly like the Koopa Clown Car in other game styles. If the clown car is shaken, it will turn into the Fire Koopa Clown Car. Also, when using Bowser Jr.'s Mystery Mushroom costume, he will appear in the Junior Clown Car.
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
In Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Bowser Jr. is a playable character who is riding in the Junior Clown Car. The clown car is actually the one holding the racket and hitting the ball.
