 '''Rookie''' is [[Bowser]]'s amnesiac alter ego and [[Popple]]'s accomplice in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''.
-Rookie's appearance is largely similar to his normal self's, though it differs in a few ways. The most noticeable physical difference is Rookie's blue, cat burglar-styled mask. For unknown reasons, ''Superstar Saga'' also depicts him with green eyes, although this trait is not carried over to the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake. In contrast to his physical appearance, Rookie's personality is drastically different than Bowser's; he is extremely trusting, loyal, and ultimately submissive to Popple, whereas his normal self is self-serving and believes others beneath him.

For unknown reasons, the international versions of ''Superstar Saga'' also depict him with green eyes, although this trait is not carried over to the Japanese version or its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake. In contrast to his physical appearance, Rookie's personality is drastically different than Bowser's; he is extremely trusting, loyal, and ultimately submissive to Popple, whereas his normal self is arrogant and believes others are beneath him.

 The Mario Bros. encounter Rookie once more at [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], down in the university's basement, right after Popple finds the [[Beanstar]] which had just fallen right next to him. Popple once more orders Rookie to fight the Bros. to protect the Beanstar. This time, Popple and Rookie have their own versions of [[Bros. Attack]]s, but the Bros. still defeat them without much effort. After the battle, a [[Peach-bot]] falls into the room and enrages the Beanstar with its squeaking, causing it to enlarge and fly out of the room.
-Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie grab onto the Beanstar in an attempt to stop its escape; however, the combined stress of hearing the Peach-bot's unpleasant voice and bearing the collective weight of the Mario Bros., Popple, and Rookie causes the Beanstar to shatter into four pieces. Each of the four clingers begin to fall off one by one until only Rookie is left, as the fragmented Beanstar heads toward Stardust Fields. It is only as he returns to the place where he lost his memory that Rookie at last remembers that he is Bowser, and then willingly lets go of the Beanstar. His recollection is short-lived, however, as he falls off the Beanstar before it breaks into four pieces, and [[Fawful]] encounters an unconscious Bowser and uses his body to house Cackletta's soul, creating [[Bowletta]].
+Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie grab onto the Beanstar in an attempt to stop its escape; however, the combined stress of hearing the Peach-bot's unpleasant voice and bearing the collective weight of the Mario Bros., Popple, and Rookie causes the Beanstar to shatter into four pieces. Each of the four clingers begin to fall off one by one until only Rookie is left, as the fragmented Beanstar heads higher into the sky. The last one remaining, Rookie remembers his real identity and proclaims himself to be "Bowser the King!". His recollection is short-lived, however, as he falls off the Beanstar before it breaks into four pieces, landing in [[Stardust Fields]]. A little while later, [[Fawful]] encounters an unconscious Bowser and uses his body to house Cackletta's soul, creating [[Bowletta]].
 In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Rookie's origin is significantly expanded upon. The remake reveals that Rookie's creation was indirectly and unintentionally engineered by [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], the main protagonist of ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. The reason for Rookie joining Popple is also revealed in a flashback: after losing his memory, Bowser collapsed from hunger. Popple was stealing food from [[Hoohoo Village]] at the time, and accidentally fed the amnesiac Koopa King when he tripped while escaping. Mistaking this mishap for genuine kindness, Bowser began to follow Popple around in spite of the thief's initial protests.
-The captains later battle Popple when they find out he might know Bowser's whereabouts. Afterwards, Rookie appears to defend Popple. Captain Goomba, recognising that Rookie was actually Bowser, attempts to reason with him, although Rookie does not remember his minions and leaves with Popple after berating them for defeating his boss, causing Captain Goomba to sulk in despair. After meeting Popple again, they learn Rookie went missing before the meeting starts another battle. After returning to [[Bowser's Castle]], Bowser slowly remembers Captain Goomba was the one who gave him amnesia while on the mountain and revokes him of his title while chasing him in rage.

 Rookie never reappeared in any other games (his true identity as Bowser nonwithstanding), although he, or more specifically Captain Goomba's inadvertent role in his creation, was given an indirect reference in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' when Captain Goomba, when explaining he didn't wish to slack off on Goomba training by play-fighting Bowser Jr. and get Bowser upset, adds "again" at the end of the sentence.
