Bowser Jr. (クッパ Jr., Koopa Jr.) was officially revealed as a new playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 on October 23, 2014 alongside Mr. Game & Watch, being the last newcomer shown off by an official source. Prior to that, he was leaked by ESRB on August 29th, 2014 alongside Shulk and Ganondorf. He appears as a new Mario representative alongside Rosalina & Luma. His playstyle involves him using his Junior Clown Car. He is voiced by Catey Sagoian, who has portrayed him since Mario Strikers Charged.
Attacks that strike the Clown Car will deal 0.88x damage, whereas those that hit Bowser Jr. himself will deal 1.15x damage.[1]
Attributes
Bowser Jr. is one of the few heavy characters in the game that also has good mobility and recovery. Since the Junior Clown Car takes reduced damage compared to Bowser Jr., it's even more difficult for opponents to knock him out. Once Bowser Jr. is KO'd, he has the means for both vertical and horizontal recovery, so he always has an option. The main thing to watch out for are moves with a lot of recovery, like his down smash, that leaves him open to an opponent's attacks if they shield or evade him. With his Clown Cannon, Mechakoopa, and Clown Kart Dash, Bowser Jr. has options to efficiently rack up damage from a distance. His down tilt, jabs, and dash attack are good options up close.
The Clown Cannon can be charged up from a distance, as it has better damage and KO potential when charged. When playing at a distance, he can send out Mechakoopas to run interference while he can charge up the Clown Cannon. He can use the Clown Kart Dash to create distance when being harassed, or use his heavy weight to your advantage to go in with it and deal damage. Bowser Jr.'s Abandon Ship! is particularly useful as well; the hitbox is decent, and it has a lot of knockback. This works well when he's above a group of opponents. And because Bowser Jr. still has an aerial attack available while he's making his way to the ground, he isn't completely vulnerable in this situation. In fact, this aerial attack has tremendous KO potential, making it one of his best moves. A good way to combine his special moves is to send out a Mechakoopa and chase after it with Clown Kart Dash. If the Mechakoopa hits an opponent, he can charge into them with Clown Kart Dash, and then use Abandon Ship!
Bowser Jr.'s aerial attacks are also useful. His down aerial can be used for shield pressure or to rack up damage. His forward aerial and back aerial are both effective, but their startup is a little slow. Neutral aerial is fantastic, as it covers both sides. When airborne, up aerial is his only option against fighters above him. On the ground, forward smash is very strong, and down smash works well against opponents who like to roll a lot.
How To Unlock
Complete one of the following:
- Play 100 VS Matches.
- As Bowser, complete Classic Mode on Intensity 6.0 or higher.
After completing one of the two methods, Bowser Jr. must then be defeated on 3D Land.
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Bowser Jr. is a starter character, so he does not have to be unlocked.

- PAL: Bowser's probably a big fan of his son, what with him hating Mario just as much as dear old Dad does. The tyke's Junior Clown Car is packed with gadgets and gizmos to throw at enemies! By the way, he's extra vulnerable when he jumps out of it, but...you wouldn't dream of attacking the cute little fella then, would you?
- Bowser Jr. (Alt.)
- NA: The Clown Kart Dash special move turns the Junior Clown Car into a kart. If you change direction while driving it, it'll spin and do more damage. When you use his up special, Bowser Jr. leaps from his Junior Clown Car, dropping it on the foes below.
- PAL: The Clown Kart Dash special move turns the Junior Clown Car into a kart. If you change direction while driving it, it'll spin and do more damage. When you use his up special, Bowser Jr. jumps out of the Junior Clown Car, letting it hit opponents. Try to catch opponents with it while you're directly over them to hit them on the head!

Trivia
- Bowser Jr. is the only fighter who does not have an alternate costume that shares the same name as the default costume or is a palette swap of the original costume. Due to this, he's one of two characters to use his default color scheme in his All-Star trophy, the other being R.O.B. (Japanese version only).
- Similarly, Bowser Jr. is the only character who doesn't use an alternative costume when he's fought in rounds 4-5 in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's classic mode. However, he will be forced to use the Larry costume if he appears in a team battle and the player chooses a previously-defeated Bowser Jr. as a teammate.
- Because Bowser Jr.'s placement in All-Star Mode is based on his debut rather than that of the Koopalings (who debuted before him), the Koopalings will be misplaced chronologically during All-Star Mode if the opponent's costume is a Koopaling. The same applies to Olimar and Alph.
- Bowser Jr. and Villager are the only characters where all 8 of their palette swaps have a chance of appearing in All-Star Mode.
- Bowser Jr. was almost on the brink of being cut as a playable character due to limited time and resources. He barely got in due to the game's staff's diligent work.[2]
- Bowser Jr. is the only newcomer to be both a starter and an unlockable in Smash 4.
