'''Bowser Jr.''' was unofficially revealed as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' via [[Leak#ESRB leak|leaked videos]] from footage used by ESRB to rate the game. He fights in the [[Junior Clown Car]] and uses various weapons from the ''Mario series'', such as boxing gloves and Mecha-Koopas. Unlike the other characters, Bowser Jr. does not change colors, but is instead replaced by one of the [[Koopalings]].

While in the Clown Car, he can use various weapons from the ''Mario series'' in a similar way to {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} and {{SSB4|Mega Man}}.

Bowser Jr. was unofficially revealed as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 via leaked videos from footage used by ESRB to rate the game. Him and Rosalina appear as newcomers that represent the Mario series. He is voiced by Caety Sagoian.[1]

Attributes

  • Attacks that strike the Clown Car will deal 0.88x damage, whereas those that hit Bowser Jr. himself will deal 1.15x damage.[2]
  • Unlike the other characters, Bowser Jr. does not change colors, but is instead replaced by one of the Koopalings.
