- Bowser's family is a mystery. Like Mario, we don't know who his parents are. But, Bowser does have one family member who you probably NEVER knew existed: Bowser's brother, who Nintendo forgot about. Today, let's uncover Nintendo's forgotten character, Bowser's brother!

Hey
You make good vids
really?
WTF???!!????!??!??
Bruh moment
I vote we call him Blueser
Will he lose at everything?
Agreed
That's actually a clever name. You have my vote!
In Japanese, it'd just transliterate to Bruiser.
Speedrunner Kosmic calls him Bruce. I never knew it had anything to do with his real name.
(He falls the other one,[the one who does transform when he does] Frank.)
If Bowser's brother is canon in the Mario universe, then there should be another game called _Super Bowser Bros._
i would pay for that 😂😂😂😂
They should make a new RPG series. Like Mario & Luigi, but with Bowser and Bowser's Brother. It'll be called:
It's Bowser, BB!
It can both mean "It's Bowser, baby!", which calls to his prideful nature, or the BB can stand for Bowser's Brother
yes
Well... Bowser's last name isn't Bowser
Closest I can think of is New Super Bowser World, which is a fan game
"His true identity is unknown..." Thanks for clearing that up Nintendo, you brave company.
lol
Lol
It's short for "we messed it up so much, we can't fix it right now. Call again later (while we find a way to fix it)"
@@EndyMX at least they got a character to make a game's plot about whenever they want to finally add lore in a Mario game
@@mariotheundying that is so true! They should do that!
This character *is* Bowser's younger brother, but he's the opposite of Luigi: brave on the outside and a scaredy-cat on the inside. He gave up the first few times Mario kicked his butt, which is why the third turns into a Spiny, and has stayed far away from his big bro's plans ever since. Whether he's a big chicken or actually smart, I'll leave up to you.
There's a LOT of characters Nintendo 'just kinda forgot' about...
There certainly are. Does Anybody remember Captain Syrup? She's like Wario's Arch enemy in the Wario Land Games (or at least 3 of them), and she completely disappeared after Shake It.
@@disneyvillainsfan1666 Yep, that's sad
Even Wart and Tatanga are forgotten
I wish Mallow and Geno would appear again in a game as well (new Sqeenix Mario RPG?).
Bring back Boshi, Croco, Belome, and Frogfucious while we're at it.
@@stapler942 I think that all the Mario RPG characters are not in the same situation as the ones we are talking about because they were more like from a Square Enix game with Mario and original characters than a Nintendo Game
I like to imagine Bowser's brother just lives his own normal life somewhere outside the Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser just asked him for some extra help in Lost Levels
Bowsers brother thinks Bowser is a mess. He pays taxes, while Bowser kidnaps princesses.
What if he and Waluigi are friends?
@@carnbarn151 He could be. We essentially know nothing about Waluigi's life outside of the sports and kart games. We don't know where he came from, what he does on a daily basis, and whether or not he's friends with anyone else besides Wario. So yeah, it's fun to imagine these two overlooked underdogs of the Mario series actually have a good friendship that's just been ongoing for years.
He's an insurance claims agent in my head
Or he could be dry bowser as in mario kart bowser refers to dry bowser as a close family friend
Well if Bowser's full name as we know it is Bowser Koopa and assuming the Koopalings are Bowser's adoptive children that he named, is it possible that Morton Koopa Jr was named after this blue Bowser? Aside from Bowser's only real son, this is the only one with Jr in his name. Maybe Mario had defeated Bowser's brother for good in Mario 2, and Bowser named a Koopaling in honor of him?
Hey MatPat... This guy's got a video idea for you.
@@ScooterinAB Mat pat Not subscribe to this TH-cam channel
@@catgamer2745 That's... not the point.
Yes it is
@@catgamer2745 Goodbye. I'm done with you bothering me because you don't know how to understand context. Do not reply.
I just realized; people hate it in horror games/movies when there’s explanations behind what’s supposed to be scary, thus detracting from the fear of the unknown. In the Super Mario universe, which is on the opposite spectrum of scary, absolutely nothing is explained, thus the Mario universe embraces the fear of the unknown better than most horror properties.
Imagine if Blue Bowser was a very extreme case of Luigi syndrome
He's so hidden under his older brother's shadow that people don't even know he even exists lol
Nah, it's not because he's hidden under Bowser's shadow. It's because he's hidden in 8-4 of Lost Levels, which people don't have the skill to reach.
Poor bruce
Two notes:
1) The Koopalings were related to Bowser in 90s Nintendo canon. They changed that position sometime before Bowser Jr. was introduced.
2) There’s a blue bowser in SNES Yoshi’s Cookie if you play hard mode, but he has an orange shell. Is it him???
1) That's what I remember hearing as well!
It's so sad how bowser's brother is just referred to as that, instead of an actual name. Got to feel bad for the guy
Imagine if his name was Morton Koopa Sr.
That because he not important enough to need a name.
that pretty much happens to luigi
@@INFERNO95 well he is to me now
@@CapitanJorge24 no it didn’t, cause Nintendo at least gave him his own name.
In my headcanon, the blue Bowser turned into Dry Bowser (as a separate character from Bowser Dry Bowser) after being defeated in Lost Levels. I mean, he fell into lava just like Bowser when he turned into (Bowser)Dry Bowser and then we now have a different unique Dry Bowser that even has a statue in seemingly ancient Bone-Dry Ruins, so why not?
About the time discrepancy in blue Bowser becoming Dry Bowser in Lost Levels and then having a statue in ancient ruins, remember how 1-1 was in Brawl's Mushroomy Kingdom.
Thats kinda dark
In my headcanon, Blowser (that's what we call him in my plush channel) thought that Bowser left him in the dust and decided to go full Rambo on the Koopa Kingdom. But Bowser shot a banzai bill at Blowser's airship, causing it to burn and fall. So Blowser turns into Dry Bowser and fights Bowser 1 on 1. So Dry lost and realized Bowser didn't leave him. He had a kingdom, but he was just forgotten by most fans of Mario. So Dry turned good.
@@RockMPlush Dry didn't turn good actually, in Super Mario 3D Land it's been made clear on more than one occasion that the Dry Bowser we fight isn't Bowser himself, it's not a fake Bowser either, and also in a Mario Party game, Bowser literally introduced us to a Dry Bowser that acted as a boss, there's also in one of the older Mario and Sonic Olympic games a Dry Bowser henchman while the actual Bowser and Eggman were waiting as the final challenges of the missions
@@darthtroller i was talking about my Dry in my channel. I make plush vids.
@@RockMPlush oh I didn't notice, LMAO it was 2am when I replied I must've been tired asf
It would be nice to see him make an appearance in a main line game
Dude I know they have background characters can he at least be there??
For what? Last thing we need is another bowser around taking up space.
@@INFERNO95 I agree. I would never look at Bowser the same ever again if they made a twin for Bowser.
Eh, I feel like there's not much you can do with him, dry Bowser already sometimes takes the role as harder Bowser, I feel at best we can do with him is retcon his ability to breath fire and maybe make him ice theme?
@@INFERNO95 They can just redesigned him to look a slightly different from Bowser. Luigi used to be just Green Mario back then, but they have since give him a different mustache and a little taller then Mario. If Luigi can be redesigned to look slightly different from Mario, why Bowser's Brother can't? Sometimes I feel you're always negative just to be different from the rest.
This actually.....makes sense. Ignore everything that came out after Japanese Mario 2, and Mario and Luigi are color swapped twins. It would be kind of consistent for Bowser to have a color-swapped twin as well. Mario Bros. Vs. Bowser Bros.
So Bower essentially had his own "Luigi"
I found out about him like 2 years ago and have been a fan of bowser’s brother ever since
Same
King kooper is bowsers bro
I'm still curious about Bowser's wife a.k.a Bowser Jr.'s REAL mother.
I still wish Peach was his wife lol
It's Miyamoto. He said so himself once when asked about it.
Baby Bowser and Bowser Jr look very similar, so Bowser probably cloned himself and raised the clone as a son like Jango Fett from Star Wars.
@@ARDIZsq I am very sure that was just Miyamoto joking around like he always does.
@@The_Yosh agreed
Theory: Bowser's Brother is the Koopaling's father. One of them was Morton Koopa Senior. The Lost Levels happens BEFORE Mario 3, and Mario actually KILLED Morton Sr, and now the Koopalings are trying to avenge their true father by helping their uncle.
Yes,that's why the Koopalings play Mario kart with Mario. If Bowser's brother died Kamek would just "abracadabra poof ur alive again".
@@cbfranco3307 yes because the Mario kart series is very canon and has a deep story
@@willsmisk3208 Doesn't change the fact Bowser and his army are, as said in the first Mario bros manuel, known for practicing dark magic and that we literally see characters like Kamek,Boom Boom,Pom Pom and the Koopalings explode into ASHS in some games and just poof back to life the next game.
@@cbfranco3307I mean, by that logic, whose to say ol Morton Sr didn't become the Dry Bowser that's a separate character? Maybe he just likes being a skeletor. XD
@@eonnexus Exactly my point. He's still kicking.
I'm gonna say that the first two were fake bowsers made by Kamek using a different process than Bowser's turning minions into himself. Hence why they actually died. Then the last one was a collaboration, where Bowser used his own fake Bowser method, combined with Kamek's improvements, to try and create a stronger fake. But in the end none of them could hold up like the real thing.
how does that explain real bowser dying and always coming back
so blue bowser can do that as well if his strength matches real bowser
@@supermaximglitchy1 Because it doesn't match real Bowser, they just tried to.
Maybe he just used some double cherry power-ups.
I guess the theory make sense except Kamek didn't exist in Japanese Super Mario Bros 2 yet the implication that he exists.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Kamek was not thought of yet. I think the thing is not confirmed how the Fake Bowser exists yet, but later, it was confirmed that Kamek made them.
Bowser's Brother (or *クッパ・アオ* / *ニセクッパ* / *クッパ(青)* [Blue Koopa/Fake Koopa/Koopa (Blue)] in Japan) is quite underrated. Pretty great video!
This ‘Bowser Brother’ may actually have a name, if we believe Miyamoto saying the Koopalings aren’t Bowser’s kids. At least one might the child of this Brother. Morton Koopa Junior. If we go for quite a stretch this Blue Bowser may just be Morton Koopa Senior.
Then that would make Morton the nephew of Bowser.
Because Bowser said that he has 7 childs in smb3 and because Miamoto meant, it's not true, the Koopalings have to bee adopted. But adopted kids are part of a family, so the koopalings are part of Bowsers family.
I think that there's potential in having a brother for Bowser in how it can play off of the Mario brothers thematically. Like, since the Mario bros are close and work together to achieve a shared goal, the Bowser brothers could be dysfunctional, distant, and have totally different goals. This could even play into how he's rarely ever mentioned or seen.
i can’t believe this, bowser’s brother merely enables his evil habits. 😔
I wonder how the Mario series would be different if they kept Bowsers bro around, maybe he could be Luigi’s arch nemesis instead of King Boo or Waluigi
I can see that as well.
Yeah.
That'd have been cool
Yo you watch this guy too? Let's go
Also I've seen this theory before but what if Bowser's brother (I'll call him Morton because of Morton Jr) became Dry Bowser? Since there's been times when Bowser and Dry Bowser show up at the same time and it's weird as hell, so maybe Morton just never got his flesh back and decided to be a Spooky Scary Skeleton
It would be interesting. While I'm not sure if King Boo would've been made - he still could assuming they don't make Bowser's brother the main villain in Luigi's Mansion - Waluigi would definitely still exist, because Wario would still need a partner for Tennis. (Unless that timeline is where Wario never got his own spin-off series and fell off by the wayside after Super Mario Land 2/Wario's Woods/Mario & Wario)
I wish this character were in modern Mario games. It would be great to have a different boss for once.
Yeah, “different”
@@magma1675 he throws hammers so he would have a different attack pattern.
Combined with fireballs its pretty cool
My headcanon is that he became Dry Bowser
Nintendo: Koopalings. Take it or leave it.
@@AacroX I'm meaning, giving that Dry Bowser shows up as a separated character in spin-off games. We can assumed it's Bowser's Brother but dead
Its not going to happen, but I would love to see him as a bonus character in Mario Kart or the Mario sports games. You could give him a hammer and make him the 'captain' of the hammer bros.
There's already Army Hammer Bro for that, BTW normal Bowser used hammers too, even in more recent apparences like NSMB2 and even Superstar Saga (well I guess the remake counts as a recent release)
The thing is, Bowser's brother isn't actually his brother. He was just meant to be another Bowser clone. The only reason of why his color pallete is different is because of a glitch that happened after it got spawned in the map.
What about the defeat animation? Is that a some glitch?
@@oyoo3323 If i recall correctly, that's how the animation was meant to be for every Bowser. But i'm not sure if i'm right or not.
@@TeamBlueToad actually the death animation reveals an enemy if it's a fake Bowser that's defeated, but Blue Bowser revealed no enemy except during his 3rd battle which means there's a real Blue Bowser and some fake ones
Yeah but that doesn't stop what it causes. Sense now it has been referred to as Bowser's brother it doesn't matter if it's a glitch or not anymore sense it has now been given a canon explanation.
I'm pretty sure all the Koopas are related to each other in some way, including the Koopalings, when you consider that they're all the same species. Blue Bowser kinda looks like the one from Bowser's inside story.
Oh ye
You mean Dark Bowser?
I always thought Bowser’s last alt in Smash was Dark Bowser from Bowser’s Inside Story.
What’s confusing is Smash 4’s description. Calling the alt a ‘clone’ makes sense if it implies Dark Bowser, because Dark Bowser’s shown to be a clone of Bowser in-game.
However, it doesn’t imply Dark Bowser. The description still references Lost Levels, making it clear that this isn’t who they’re talking about.
My head cannon:
Bowser's Brother, was killed by Mario canonically in Mario Bros 2/Lost Levels.
With him being dead, Bowser adopts his 7 children and raises them as his own.
This explains why they don't appear in Mario 1 and why they hate Mario just as much as their adoptive father/uncle.
Bule browser: forgotten
Everyone in 2021: no
Bule
I’ve been busy all day with college / uni work and I really needed a break, so this couldn’t have come at a better time, thanks!
5:42 Note how it says "a fake Bowser". One of them. That means it refers to the blue Bowser that turns into a spiny when defeated. Not to the two real ones.
It’d be cool to see him in a newer game. I feel like they could do a good Job at including him in the story.
One bowser is enough.
@@INFERNO95 Two would be better
I think Blue Bowser could be Bowser's younger brother, but I consider Morton Koopa Sr. Bowser's older brother. Moron Sr. is also the father of the 7 koopalings, hence Morton Jr. So, Bowser Jr. is the cousin of the 7 koopalings.
That's what I believe!
YES
They're NOT cousins,the koopalings are nothing but minions of Bowser,if they are members of the royal koopa family,why does Jr treath them like SHIT in Bowser Jr journey? And why do they call him LORD JR? Why do they call Bowser BOSS or KING if they're his nephews? Why does Kamek give them orders in Bowser Jr journey when Kamek is not a part of Bowser's family,being just his servant? Sure,Kamek raised Bowser,but he was always treated as a servant by both child and adult Bowser,and Kamek himself calls Bowser "your awfulness" or other stuffs. The koopalings are NOT a part of Bowser's family.
@@cbfranco3307 Jesus Christ calm down. It's nothing more than a headcanon
@@cbfranco3307 No need to be so snappy.
I’ve been a huge Mario fan since I was 5, and somehow I had no ideia about this. Usually the so called “obscure facts” are not obscure at all, but this genuinely caught me by surprise !
Giving bowser a brother would give an excellent parallel for the Mario bros alongside the Wa Bros and Peach and Daisy to an extent
Honestly, I think Nintendo don't know what to do with that character.
Maybe they don't want him to be noticed because that was just an easy recolor for The Lost Levels and now they regret creating him and try to "explain" in modern time why he's here and why he's just a blue Bowser.
Ah, and if he was really, canonicaly, Bowser's brother, we would see him a lot more in recent games (even in spin-off games like idk, in Mario Kart as an alternate skin or something)
This channel has me discover things I never knew about mario (and other franchises) and I like him because of it
Oh hey

I still stand by him name being Morton, since Morton Jr. is one of the Koopa kids, which are probably his kids (as they are confirmed not Bowser's kids).
@@19Szabolcs91 me too
Batman is Bowser's brother
This reminds me of when there’s the fake Mario, in Sunshine, that turns out to be Bowser Jr.
I thought it could be a version of Bowser, built like that.
But I really love the idea of bowser having a more unhinged younger brother that he hates and doesn’t talk about.
Name: Brawler, Bruiser, Tank, Powser, Wowser 😂 (in the same theme as Wario, Waliugi)
Considering how consistent Nintendo tries to keep everything these days, it's sort of wild to me how much they flip flop on this ultimately minor piece of info.
I just found your channel recently and it’s honestly amazing how many deep and hidden Mario lore you can find, not to mention the wonderful presentation quality. I hope your channel continues to grow for many years to come and the creativity never stops!
I remember fighting Bowser's brother in Super Mario 64.
I used the cannon in Peach's Castle Grounds to fly into the stained glass window on the front of the castle.
To unlock the boss fight you first need to beat the game, talk to Yoshi then ground pound the sun on the first floor of the castle.
The Koopalings will always be the Koopa Kids in my book.
Can't wait to see this mad lad voiced by Jack Black 🤣
Yes th-cam.com/video/pZJaZ9uuMm0/w-d-xo.html
i've been waiting for this video, he has to be one of the most underused mario characters ever
*_I KNOW..._* right...?!
Its kinda weird how to this day we know just surface level stuff about almost every Mario character. Except for Rosalina, the one (if not) the only character with a backstory.
I’ll never forget about Bowser’s brother Bruce. He’s such a pal. We love Bruce.

I actually new about Bowser's brother! It was always such an interesting topic. I always called him "Morton" since one of the Koopalings is named Morton Jr. Also just like one of the comments, I also had the headcanon of him being Dry Bowser.
4:46 I didn't play these games. Why was there a blue Bowser in Mario Golf and Mario Tennis?
We need some more lore in Mario instead of just:
Red plumber saves girl he's in love with from giant turtle, then go karting and golfing with his friends.
That’s what the animated series is for lol
@@willissudweeks1050 It's sadly not cannon.
Literally every Mario RPG in existence (except Sticker Star): *am I a joke to you?*
I went to play the lost levels just to check this. It was too hard I couldn't get past World 1
Fun fact: in Super Princess Peach, Bowser steals a scepter that allows him to use powers related to emotions.
When fighting him, he will use the emotion of sadness which is coloured blue. This powers makes him jump to the ceiling and throw giant hammers at you.
Could this be a reference to blue bowser?
Here’s my theory
Bowsers brother Is Morton koopa sr.
Unfortunately because there was no lava under him to swim in after he fell he died on impact
And after he died he asked bowser to take care of his kids
This is why the next game lore wise bowser let’s all of Morton’s kids run his airships
And this is why the koopalings are apart of bowsers family but Nintendo said they are not his kids it’s because he’s their uncle
Nintendo really likes to rewrite their canon, or just completely forget about previously established lore. Originally, Mario was a middle-aged human, now he's a young 20-something mushroom person or something. Originally Pokémon was actually set in Japan, in our world, in the 1990's, and Pokémon evolved from real animals but also lived alongside them, and only 150 Pokémon had been discovered by the year 1996.
Pokemon is not made by Nintendo they only own the rights of the franchise.
if I was in charge of Nintendo, I'd hire a continuity team to go thru all of Nintendo's discography, and make sure things were consistent. if TH-camrs and wiki communities can do it, surely Nintendo with their full archives can as well.
and honestly the same for Pokemon lol
I wonder what this means about Dark Bowser in Bowser's Inside Story. Looks similar to Bowser's brother, but not exactly. This sounds like a lot of theory potential
Probably just a coincidence, a true render of Bowser's Brother in a modern design would show him having brown skin, only the head and shell would be blue
@@darthtroller yea for sure a coincidence. It just sounds good for making theories
@@BravosChannel to be fair many Dark Star based enemies look very similar to regular characters, Dark Goomba looks like Galoomba, Dark Koopa (we've only seen him in his shell tho) looks pretty similar to our blue Koopa, Dark Thwomp barely looks any different from the regular Thwomp
love your videos thomas! they're so comforting to listen to
Hey, i love the videos, could you please do a vid on who Bowser jr's real mum is.
I’m pretty sure the Koopalings are adopted by Bowser and that is why they call him Dad
They never called him dad,super Mario bros 3 is a play,confirmed by miyamoto,tell me ANY OTHER games where they call him dad? You can't. In Bowser Jr journey they call him BOSS,or KING BOWSER.
I always thought the blue bowser in Smash was supposed to be from Bowser’s inside story, also Nintendo recon the Mario series as in Super Mario Bros 3 the koopalings were Bowser’s children and now them are just his generals.
I was waiting for a new video! I remember you mentioned him in the most hated Mario characters!
I think it's time Nintendo finally releases Bowser's Brother Comes out of the Closet for Switch.
To be honest I never forgot about him
i like the idea of him being Bowser's family
makes his family seem less empty
I dunno about you, but the bowser species probably might be one of my favorite, I hope we see more of them in a future game, probably an rpg esque game
I wish Bowsers younger brother could be brought back to life. I mean not that he’s dead he just hasn’t been showed in a long time. Nintendo bring Bowsers brother back. I love Bowser.
Isn't canon that the koopalings are Bowsers adopted children and Kamek is his adopted father/caretaker?
No.
But the Kamek thing is heavily implied on Yoshi games.

i'D LOVE to see a return of Blueser in the Mario games aiding his older brotther in some way. and maybe even having his very own kids.
I believe Bowser's brother's name is Morton. Because we don't know who is koopalings' father and one of the koopaling's' name is Morton Jr. and it needs a Morton for Jr.
1:59 And then he turned himself into a spiny, funniest shit I've ever seen
I think the truth lies in this area of thought:
At some point in development, an idea was postulated to give Bowser a brother to be on equal numbers with the Mario Brothers. It makes some level of sense. But, not liking it, they scrapped the idea after SMB2. This hypothetical idea may have resulted in the creation of Waluigi to go alongside Wario.
But this is all pure speculation.
I think I see why Nintendo made the Bowser Brother. Since Bowser was made to be Mario's archenemy, Bowser Brother was probably made to be Luigi's archenemy, but the idea of Bowser Brother being Luigi's archenemy went unused.
Sounds likely. But in the end: Luigi's arch-enemy ended being King Boo (Which, I think it's a better choice)
Thank you for this video :D My favorite forgotten character, and I find it hilarious that such an important character was haphazardly introduced in SMB2 then immeridately forgotten about. Also, the Koopa kids are probably his children since it's confirmed that they are not actually Bowser's children, but definitely part of the family. One of them is called Morton Jr., so Bowser's brother is called Morton.
The Koopalings are just considered Bowser's henchmen, to my knowledge. In the early days of their existence they were his kids, and I still prefer that myself, but now they're not.
He was never important character. Just a boss.
@@INFERNO95 By important character, I mean the fact that he has a very close family relationship to one of the main characters. When most game series introduce such a character, they usually pay a lot of attention to that.
Finally, the video we've all been waiting for
smash bros isn’t going with the canon of the games it’s characters uses from
so the only answer (that’s mentioned multiple times) is that blue bowser is his brother who died after giving bowser custody of his children, the koopalings
Part of me believes that Bowser's "Brother" was the true father of the Koopalings. And that the Koopalings were put under Bowser's care after his Brother's demise.
Even more, later on, the "Dry Bones-Bowser" we see at the same time as Bowser in certain games was this "absent" brother. Bowser had been trying to use his magic to revive him, and hense how the Dry Bones Troopas, and Beetles, and Fishbones came to be. This was him practicing the spell over the years before New Super Mario Bros. Then somehow, in NSMB, Bowser Jr. Gets the spell right, and brings back his dad successfully. After that, BJr. tries to help his dad perfect it to bring back his brother (who had been dead for years at this point) but is only able to bring him back as a Dry Bones. Later, one of the Koopalings asks him about the Dry-Bowser, and Bowser, knowing that the Koopalings know their father to be long-dead, lies and says that "he's a close friend of the family."
Then on top of that theory, let's look at the Koopa Kids' names.
Morton's full name is "Morton Koopa Jr." Bowser's full name is "Bowser Koopa". And there's a "Bowser Jr." Oh sure, it'd be easy to explain that Nintendo dropped the Jr. From Morton when they brought back the Koopalings to avoid confusion between the two.....
But I think that Bowser's "Brother" (And thus the Dry-Bowser) is ACTUALLY named "Morton Koopa Sr."
Mario or luigi or both killed bowser's brother
The koopalings fight the mario bros out of revenge
Blue Bowser? is likely the actual father of the Koopalings. After he disappeared or died, Bowser adopted them.
Didn't think you'd make a video on this Lost Levels character.
Would be great to see him make a return in future games!
I'm curious about the changes of Rosalinas voice. Her voice actors kind of went back and forth on voicing her almost like peach
These videos are so entertaining, thank you.
I’ve actually heard of him, but still learned new stuff: That’s cool.
My headcanon is that he's Morton Sr. and Dry Bowser.
Miamoto is confirmed to be bowsers mother
@@galaxycat7172 Bowser Jr.'s mother. With Morton Sr. I meant the Koopalings' father, which would explain why they have the surname Koopa
my headcanon for this bowser is hes Morton Koopa. He had 7 children, the koopalings, they were all at a very young age. Morton died and let his brother, Bowser Koopa Sr, take in his children and name them. and so Bowser named one of the koopalings Morton Koopa Jr. in memory of him :)
1:53 the first and second had bowser, when the third had spiny.
the koopalings are adopted dammit why does everybody forget that
5:10 Among Us reference
My theory is that he became Dry Bowser (in some games you fight Dry Bowser as a separate entity from Bowser)
This can totally get turned into a good plot for a new game. The origins of the Bowser clan
The fire breathing TMNT
I've always wanted them to show us Bowser's parents. We know Dry Bowser is an ancestor, right?
2:45 Welp I know how to spell baka now
"fake" bowser? imagine being overshadowed by your older twin so much the world starts thinking you're a doppelganger
I feel so sorry for bowser's brother
6:00 Damn, that piano is cute...
