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, hence the name. It has the ability to change its expression, but with a smaller smile. Its rim and propeller are colored the same shade of green as Bowser Jr.'s head. Compared to the Koopa Clown Car, the Junior Clown Car has been shown to be more versatile, especially in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], boasting more weapons and functions in its arsenal than the original including boxing glove-covered mechanical arms, wheels and thrusters, and built-in [[Grinder]]s, drills and wrecking balls. The Junior Clown Car's facial expressions are slightly different from the original's, since it cannot shed tears when it is sad, and has a more expressive mouth. | 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, hence the name.

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 (character)|Yellow Toad]], and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] can also ride [[Remote-Controlled Clown Car|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. | ||

The Junior Clown Car will gain an additional layer of damage after each unique boss fight the player defeats Bowser Jr. in. This remains true if the player skips a Bowser Jr. boss fight and engages in a later boss fight. The Junior Clown Car will not gain damage if the player repeatedly defeats Bowser Jr. in the same level multiple times. | |||

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.

(series)|''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]]'', and reappear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', piloting the Junior Clown Car. Each Koopaling drives a specific-colored Junior Clown Car that has yellow lights for eyes instead of black proper eyes like Bowser Jr.'s version, though since the Koopalings are alternate costumes for Bowser Jr., they all fight identically to him, using various weapons the Clown Car is equipped with. In fact, aside from Bowser Jr.'s pummel, up air attack, up special move and [[Final Smash]], the Junior Clown Car itself does most of the attacking. In addition, the player takes less damage if the Clown Car is hit rather than Bowser Jr. or the Koopalings. | ||
In '' | In [[Palutena]]'s [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|guidance conversations]] about the Koopalings, their Clown Cars are called a mass-produced type of Koopa Clown Car, with [[Pit (character)|Pit]] concluding that Bowser Jr. must have "preferential treatment". In the conversation about Bowser Jr., Pit attempts to come up with a better name for the Junior Clown Car and calls it "the Shellicopter", which [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Viridi|Viridi]] promptly ignores as she continues calling it the Junior Clown Car. | ||
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Bowser's Jr.'s neutral special move, [[Clown Cannon]], can fire multiple cannonballs on-screen, as opposed to only one. | |||
