Baby Bowser is the final boss in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its port]]. He appears at the end of [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|his castle]] as Kamek is demanding that Yoshi hand over Baby Mario, waking and complaining that "it's too noisy". He then [[Ground Pound]]s Kamek and kicks him away, noticing Yoshi immediately afterward and wanting to ride the "gween donkey." Baby Bowser attacks by ground pounding wherever Yoshi is, creating shockwaves on the ground. In addition, if Baby Mario is knocked off of Yoshi's back, Baby Bowser climbs onto his back instead; if Baby Mario is saved afterward, Baby Bowser will be stunned. Baby Bowser can be hit by ground pounding the ground close to him, and after three hits Baby Bowser is beaten. Kamek shows up and uses his magic on him, causing him to grow into the {{wp|Kaiju|kaiju-sized}} [[Mega Baby Bowser|Big Baby Bowser]], destroying the castle around him. Baby Bowser ends up being returned to his normal size, and knocked out. Afterward, Kamek reappears and vows revenge before flying off with Baby Bowser. Yoshi then sprints up to the [[Stork]] and [[Baby Luigi]], freeing them both and allowing the Stork to deliver the babies to their parents. Baby Bowser is also the only boss who must be defeated before Kamek casts a spell on him. | Baby Bowser is the final boss in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its port]].

====''Yoshi's Island DS''==== | |||
[[File:Baby Bowser on Yoshi YIDS artwork.jpg|thumb|left|Baby Bowser is playable in brief portions of ''Yoshi's Island DS''.]] | |||
During the events of ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Baby Bowser is at his castle when his future self shows up to kidnap the [[star children]] and gain control of the universe. Baby Bowser is ironically abducted by the future Kamek from the past Kamek and brought to Bowser's Castle. When he realizes the circumstances, he insults his grown-up self and his plan, calling him an "old geezer." Enraged and oblivious to the fact that his younger self is one of the star children, the Koopa King kicks Baby Bowser out of the castle. | |||
As Baby Bowser plummets, he swears revenge and once he lands, he yells into the sky in a futile attempt to remind his older self that they are one and the same. Baby Bowser then notices Baby Mario and tells him he saw Baby Luigi in Bowser's Castle. Baby Bowser then realizes that he has just landed on Yoshi and is stoked to get a ride from him. Baby Bowser is then playable for the remainder of [[World 4 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 4]], marking his first time as a playable character; as the [[Nintendo Power]] Player's Guide puts it, he shows up to "kick some major enemy butt, of course!" While carrying him, Yoshi can't [[swallow]] enemies, as this move is replaced with the young Koopa's ability to breathe fireballs; this defeats enemies and melts ice cubes. Once [[Big Guy the Stilted]] is defeated, Baby Bowser leaves Yoshi's group in an attempt to hitch a ride from the future Kamek as he flies off to report to the adult Bowser. However, Baby Bowser loses his grip and falls off of Kamek's broomstick. | |||
Baby Bowser later rejoins Yoshi's group, along with [[Baby Wario]] (who he had been fighting with over treasure), when they reach Bowser's Castle. He eventually betrays them and attacks Yoshi and the other babies, believing they are after his treasure. The fight goes much like the previous one, but faster. Yoshi beats the little prince and Kamek takes him away, leaving the group to the future Bowser, who is angry at what Yoshi did to his younger self. He is then eventually defeated. At the end of the game, Baby Bowser falls off Kamek's broom and lands on a barge carrying his treasure, now claimed by Baby Wario; another argument between the two young misers inevitably ensues. Presumably, Baby Bowser is taken back by the past Kamek. | |||

In the game's official art, Baby Bowser is shown riding on the back of a [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]], which only appears during [[Fortress|fort]] levels. However, there, he is not available in any of the fort levels in-game, making the official art irreplicable. | |||

Baby Bowser is a major antagonist and the penultimate boss in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. He, Kamek, and his older self are all the main antagonists. Baby Bowser's plan is to turn [[Egg Island]] into his vacation home, so the Yoshis go out to stop Baby Bowser's plan, as well as rescue Baby Luigi along the way. The end scenario is similar to ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'': Baby Bowser is once again awakened from his slumber, only to crush and kick Kamek out. He soon notices the "familiar gween donkey" and proceeds to try and ride Yoshi again. Baby Bowser is fought in a battle reminiscent of his battle in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. His voice is a higher-pitched version of [[Bowser Jr.|his future son]]'s voice. After Mega Baby Bowser is defeated, he ends up shrinking back to Baby Bowser and the stork and Baby Luigi are rescued. However, if the Yoshis never used the [[Flutter Wings]], [[Bowser|his future self]] appears out of nowhere, making Yoshi and Baby Mario battle him before they can do so. | Baby Bowser is a major antagonist and the penultimate boss in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''.

Baby Bowser | Baby Bowser gets his revenge in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' when he steals the [[Super Happy Tree]], the source of all the happiness throughout [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. He also turns the entire island into a pop-up book, forcing the [[Baby Yoshi]]s to go to stop him. Baby Bowser is encountered his castle eventually, where he is dueled by one of the Baby Yoshis. Baby Bowser is riding his "[[Ghost (Yoshi's Story)|pet]]," and the player can throw [[Bob-omb|Bob-bomb]]s at Baby Bowser to knock him off. Baby Bowser then recites a "poem" about how he is the king, and intends to smash Baby Yoshi and thus demands the latter say goodbye. On the ground, the battle continues with Baby Bowser shooting fireballs, throwing bombs, and generating shockwaves. After a few more hits, Baby Bowser surrenders in defeat. Just before he is carried out by his Toadies while sobbing, Baby Bowser allows the baby Yoshis to have the Super Happy Tree back, admitting that the fruit tasted terrible. | ||

Baby Bowser is the secondary antagonist of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. | Baby Bowser is the secondary antagonist of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. He first appears at the beginning of the game, in an attempt to kidnap [[Baby Peach]]. Luckily, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi show up in the nick of time to play with Baby Peach. After Baby Mario defeats him however, the [[Shroob]]s attack [[Peach's Castle]]. Fortunately, everyone manages to escape on Baby Bowser's [[Koopa Cruiser]]. On the way to his castle, Baby Bowser picks the [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] from the present to get Baby Peach to stop crying. On the Koopa Cruiser, he receives a transmission from [[Princess Shroob]] at [[Shroob Castle]]. She tells the crew something in the Shroobs' language and shoots down the Koopa Cruiser with a [[Shroob missile]]. | ||
Baby Bowser is flung away from the Koopa Cruiser on the impact, into his castle. Eventually, he realizes his archenemies and their adult selves have stolen his [[Cobalt Star|Cobalt Star Shard]] from his castle and tracked them down to the [[Vim Factory]], where he swipes both his Cobalt Star Shard and the one the Bros. have just obtained from [[Swiggler]]. | Baby Bowser is flung away from the Koopa Cruiser on the impact, into his castle.

Baby Bowser once again has a similar voice to his future self's son, and he is first seen waiting for [[Kamek]] to give him yarn to make "a big new castle". Then, [[Yoshi]] suddenly appears and Baby Bowser starts the battle with him. Yoshi must throw a yarn ball (provided by one of three red [[Shy Guy]]s that periodically fall from the top of the screen) at Baby Bowser, then ground-pound him, and repeat this three times to defeat him. After Baby Bowser is defeated, Kamek later uses the power of the [[Wonder Wool]] to make him transform into [[Mega Baby Bowser]]. After the Wonder Wool finally unravels, causing all of the single-color-and-white Yoshis to return back to normal, Baby Bowser is taken away by Kamek, and is last seen near a moon with Kamek carrying him. [[Poochy]] pops out from behind the moon, causing Kamek to get spooked and accidentally drops Baby Bowser as the game's closing credits begin to roll. | ||
