 Bowser Jr. is the mischievous son of Bowser and the prince of the [[mariowiki:Koopa Troop|Koopas]]. He bears a striking resemblance to  [[mariowiki:Baby Bowser|his father when he was a child]], having beady eyes, a rounded snout with fewer contours, and hair tied in a small ponytail.
-He debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', where he painted over most of {{s|mariowiki|Isle Delfino}} with a {{s|mariowiki|Magic Paintbrush}} he somehow obtained from {{s|mariowiki|Professor E. Gadd}}. The "paint" used for the brush was actually toxic waste, referred to as "goop". Bowser Jr.'s graffiti using the poisonous substance caused such pollution that the island's {{s|mariowiki|Shine Sprite}}s scattered about, causing its sunlight to recede. Bowser Jr. committed his crimes disguised as [[Mario]], tricking the denizens of Isle Delfino into thinking he was the culprit. In disguise, Bowser Jr. appears similar to Mario, but has a higher-pitched voice and a gelatinous, dark blue body with glowing red eyes. The disguise, referred to as [[Shadow Mario]], is activated by a blue neckerchief with Mario's signature mustache drawn on it (in later games starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour}}'', Bowser Jr.'s neckerchief is white and has a drawing of a ferocious mouth instead).

-Bowser Jr. was also convinced by his father that [[Princess Peach]] was his mother and that Mario had taken her from him, thus setting his plan into motion; by framing Mario, he attempts numerous times to kidnap the princess, who he refers to as his "mama". By the end of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', however, Bowser Jr. reveals that he knew Peach wasn't really his mother, while still expressing a desire to fight Mario like his papa.
+Bowser Jr. was also convinced by his father that [[Princess Peach]] was his mother and that Mario was a bad man who kidnapped her among other things, thus setting his plan into motion; by framing Mario, he attempts numerous times to kidnap the princess, who he refers to as his "mama". By the end of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Bowser Jr. pieces together and realizes that Peach wasn't really his mother, while still expressing a desire to fight Mario whom he was indoctrinated against by his papa.
 Bowser Jr. became a landmark character after ''Super Mario Sunshine'', appearing as a playable character in multiple spin-off games (his first being ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour}}''), as well as having a recurring role as Bowser's elite soldier in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.|series}}'' games, where he commands the [[Koopalings]]. In several games, he uses a smaller variant of his father's famous [[Koopa Clown Car]], officially named the {{s|mariowiki|Junior Clown Car}} in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Dream Team}}''. Most notably, he appears in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey}}'', a remake of ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', where he takes center stage as the main protagonist of the newly-added ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode.

 Later ''Mario'' games would explore more facets of Bowser Jr.'s character. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'' and subsequent games, Jr. has been shown to pilot large battle machines of various sorts, such as the Junior Clown Car. His mechanical prowess show through in his ''Super Smash Bros.'' moveset, which shows him summoning various tools and gadgets from within the Clown Car. ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}'' explores Jr.'s personality in further detail, showing that, while he may be a spoiled child and a cunning villain, he is ultimately a lonely Koopa who desires friends above anything else. Other games—such as ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}'', and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury}}''—show that Bowser cares deeply about his son, and in return, Bowser Jr. cares enough about his father's wellbeing that he is willing to team up with Mario when they are in danger.
-Bowser Jr. has complicated relationships with the main cast. Despite knowing that Peach is not his real mother, he will still assist Bowser in his attempts to capture and marry her. Peach herself sees Bowser Jr. as a misguided child that needs a proper parent, particularly not Bowser. Though Bowser Jr. is antagonistic for most playable characters, he especially despises Mario for constantly getting in the way. This animosity was strongest in ''Sunshine'' where he actively sought to take Mario down. Later installments toned this hatred down, with the two fighting only when their paths cross. Bowser Jr. even occasionally shows a willingness to team up with Mario, albeit only when out of need. When such a mission is complete, he goes right back to his antagonizing ways. While Mario will not hesitate to fight out of self-defense and can sometimes be cold towards him, he has no ill will towards Bowser Jr. and is more than willing to help him whenever their interests are aligned.

 In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Bowser Jr.'s voice is performed by {{s|mariowiki|Dolores Rogers}}. {{s|mariowiki|Caety Sagoian}} has provided his voice in later games since ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Strikers Charged}}''.
