-Bowser Jr. was unofficially revealed as a playable character in ''SSB4'' by a leak of the ESRB review video.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxj7nzpHK2I]</ref> He was shown to fight in his Junior Clown Car, using boxing gloves to attack (inspired by his Clown Car in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', but the gloves protrude with metal extenders instead of being attached to arms). He can also drop [[Mechakoopa]]s and fire [[Clown Cannon|cannonballs]]. The seven [[Koopalings]] also appear as [[palette swap|alternate costumes]] for him. His Final Smash has him briefly transform into his [[Shadow Mario]] form, which then swipes the screen with the Magic Brush, creating a large X, which hurts all opponents that it touches.
+Bowser Jr. was unofficially revealed as a playable character in ''SSB4'' by a leak of the ESRB review video.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxj7nzpHK2I]</ref> He was later officially revealed as a playable character on October 23rd, 2014 during the [[Nintendo Direct#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza|''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' 50-Fact Extravaganza]], albeit after being revealed upon the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' worldwide. The seven [[Koopalings]] also appear as [[palette swap|alternate costumes]] for him. Bowser Jr.'s color scheme is more monotone compared to his appearance in the {{uv|Mario}} series, similar to his [[Bowser|father]]; otherwise, his appearance is unaltered.
+Bowser Jr. fights in his Junior Clown Car, which provides him with a wide variety of weaponry based on ''Mario'' series hazards to use as attacks; these attacks include dropping [[Mechakoopa]]s, firing [[Clown Cannon|cannonballs]], and punching with boxing gloves (inspired by its appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''). Bowser Jr. also attacks for himself in some instances, such as swinging a hammer in his [[up aerial]] and while ejected from his Clown Car during his [[up special move]], and hitting opponents with a toy hammer for his [[pummel]]. The Clown Car also provides a unique trait: attacks that hit the Clown Car will deal less damage, but attacks that hit Bowser Jr. himself will deal more damage (being the most prominent during his up special). His Final Smash has him briefly transform into his [[Shadow Mario]] form, which then swipes the screen with the Magic Brush, creating a large X, which hurts all opponents that it touches.
 Currently, Bowser Jr. is placed 48th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the F tier. His [[Clown Kart Dash]] special gives him a fantastic approaching option thanks to its speed and usefulness in starting combos. He also comes with some powerful finishers that can potentially KO opponents below 100%. Although he's classed as a heavyweight, his aerial game is respectable thanks to his good air mobility and ability to juggle opponents with his aerials. Despite these strengths, Bowser Jr. is held back by notable flaws, such as a laggy grab, poor ground mobility, and his recovery in [[Abandon Ship!]] is predictable and open to [[gimp]]s. Bowser Jr.'s weaknesses hold him back from leaving much impact on the competitive scene, having below average results in tournament, though he still has a few dedicated players.

 **Bowser Jr. is also the first fighter to share his roster spot with an opposite gender alternate fighter, but not have an equal number of male and female alternate fighters. The second is [[Pikachu]] in ''Ultimate''.
 *Unlike [[Bowser|his father]], [[Petey Piranha]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]] and [[King K. Rool]], Bowser Jr. retains his voice actor from the ''Mario'' series. He shares this trait with [[Yoshi]] and the Koopalings.
-**He, the Koopalings and [[Princess Daisy]] are also the only fighters from the ''Mario'' universe to use voice clips recycled from outside sources.

 *Bowser Jr. is the only ''SSB4'' [[newcomer]] to be unlockable in {{for3ds}} and a starter character in {{forwiiu}}, due to [[Ness]], [[Jigglypuff]], and [[Ganondorf]] being [[veteran]]s.
