He is the infant form of [[Bowser]], and commonly accompanies [[Kamek]] as the main antagonist in their appearances, most notably the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. Kamek is mainly responsible for his child rearing. Baby Bowser looks almost identical to [[Bowser Jr.]], even sometimes sharing his voice. The main difference in the visual design between the two is that Bowser Jr. has a drawing on his bandanna, while Baby Bowser's is blank, or he does not wear it at all.
| |
|
| |
|
| Adult Bowser has been portrayed as an infant in other media, namely in the episode "[[Two Plumbers and a Baby]]" in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and the episode "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]" in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', though the Baby Bowser character is considered a distinct entity from these forms.
| | '''Baby Bowser''' (called '''King Bowser''' or '''Prince Bowser''' by his minions) is a recurring villain in the ''[[Yoshi (series)|Yoshi]]'' series designed to be the baby form of [[Bowser]]. Although he is the child of his [[Bowser's Father|father]] and [[Mama Koopa]], his henchman [[Kamek]] was mainly responsible for his child rearing. He looks very similar to his adult form's eighth child, [[Bowser Jr.]] |

| ====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
| | Baby Bowser is the final boss battle in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. However, he didn't seem to be too involved with Kamek's plans at capturing the [[Baby Mario]] brothers, only trying to get a ride on [[Yoshi]]. He would try to kick Baby Mario off Yoshi's back and ride Yoshi himself. He would also send out shock-waves by ground pounding. Yoshi could give him a taste of his own medicine by hitting the spoiled prince with his shockwaves. After three hits Baby Bowser was beaten, then [[Kamek]] showed up and used his magic on him. Most of the castle was then destroyed as Baby Bowser grew to a giant size and rose up in the background. He begun the final battle by sending debris tumbling down and destroying some of the floor that Yoshi was standing on. He then started shooting large [[fireball]]s out of his mouth at Yoshi. During the battle, Yoshi eventually noticed a balloon carrying a [[Giant Yoshi Egg]]. Yoshi snatched the egg and, with precise aim, launched it at Baby Bowser, sending him farther back. |

| |
| 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. | |

|
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| | Yoshi had to continue to throw eggs at Giant Baby Bowser, because if he gets too close would make the entire platform collapse, instantly defeating Yoshi. Once Yoshi hit Giant Baby Bowser enough times, he would send more debris falling down, crumbling even more of the floor. Yoshi pelted a few more eggs at Giant Baby Bowser until he couldn't take anymore, and finally decided to just charge. One more hit, and he fainted and returned to his normal self. Kamek flew off with him, but not before vowing revenge. Yoshi then ran up to [[The Stork]] and [[Baby Luigi]], freeing them both, and handing [[Baby Mario]] to the stork as well. He then makes his [[Mario and Luigi's Parents|delivery]], and the end credits roll. |
| [[File:Baby Bowser on Yoshi YIDS artwork.jpg|thumb|Artwork from ''Yoshi's Island DS'' of Baby Bowser riding Yellow Yoshi, something that is not possible because Baby Bowser is never played in [[Fortress|fort]] levels.]]
| |
| Baby Bowser is a major antagonist in ''[[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. Baby Bowser is kicked out of the castle by Bowser, oblivious to Baby Bowser being one of the [[star children]]. Baby Bowser vows revenge after landing and then yells into the sky to try and remind his adult self that they are the same entity. 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 becomes playable for the remainder of [[World 4 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 4]]. Baby Bowser's [[fireball]] attack replaces Yoshi's ability to [[swallow]], and the attack is essential for melting 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 fought with [[Baby Wario]] over treasure at some point, and he rejoins the Yoshis when they reach Bowser's Castle. Baby Bowser 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. After a defeat, Baby Bowser is taken away by Kamek, leaving the group to the future Bowser, who is angry at what Yoshi did to his younger self. In the ending, following adult Bowser's defeat, Baby Bowser falls off Kamek's broom and lands on a barge carrying his treasure, now claimed by Baby Wario, and the two get in a fight again.

| ====''Yoshi's New Island''====
| | It is possible to defeat him even when the platform is gone, and if so, he falls down, and Yoshi falls, landing on a platform, where Baby Luigi and the Stork are. Yoshi would notice Kamek, who vowed revenge and flew off. Then the rest would be normal. |
| [[File:BabyBowserEggIsland.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Yoshi's New Island'', showing Baby Bowser planning to convert Egg Island into his resort.]]
| |
| 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.

| [[File:BabyBowserYSArtwork.png|thumb|160px|Artwork from ''Yoshi's Story'']] | | [[Image:BabyNinjaBowser.PNG|frame|left|Baby Bowser in ''Yoshi's Story''.]] |
| Baby Bowser is the main antagonist of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. He steals the [[Super Happy Tree]] and turns the entire island into a pop-up book. The [[Baby Yoshi]]s, who have been on an adventure to stop Baby Bowser, encounter him in his castle, where Baby Bowser 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 got that revenge in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' when he stole the Super Happy Tree, the source of all the happiness in Yoshi's Island, and to make matters worse he turned the island into a pop-up book! It was up to a bunch of Yoshi babies to stop him. After some adventuring the Yoshi found Baby Bowser in his castle and the two started to fight. Yoshi had to hit Baby Bowser with [[Bob-omb]]s while the prince was riding his "[[Baby Bowser's Pet|pet]]" and knock him off. The battle is then on the ground where Baby Bowser would shoot fireballs, throw bombs and send shock-waves and Yoshi would have to hit him a few more times to beat him. This battle is actually pretty easy because the Super Happy Tree is ''right'' there so Yoshi can recover health whenever. |

| Coincidentally, [[Prima Games]] coverage has referred to Baby Bowser as "Bowser Jr.", predating the debut of [[Bowser Jr.|the actual character]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=117|isbn=0-7615-2103-8|date=April 7, 1999|language=en-us|publisher=[[Prima Games]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|date=April 21, 1999|title=''Ultimate Nintendo 64 Pocket Power Guide, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=Prima Games|page=93|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-2083-X}}</ref>

| | [[Image:babybowser.jpg|thumb|'''Baby Bowser''', in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.]] |
| | [[Image:Ml2 jr.png|thumb|left]] |
| | Baby Bowser showed up again in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' at the start of the game where he tried to kidnap Baby Princess Peach and was stopped by the Baby Mario Bros., but the victory was short lived because just then the [[Shroob]]s attacked the castle. Luckily everyone managed to escape on Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser which then picked up a time displaced Mario and Luigi. Unfortunately the ship was attacked by the Shroobs and crashed into the Prince's castle where the Babies and the normal Bros. found the Prince had a [[Cobalt Star]] Shard, also finding a time hole that brought them to the present. Baby Bowser showed up a lot in the game, mostly being an annoyance doing things like stealing the Bros. Cobalt Star Shards and stealing all the cookies on Yoshi's Island. Eventually Baby Bowser teamed up with his future self to defeat the four Mario Bros. in Thwomp Volcano (neither recognized the other) but ended up being beaten and flung into the sky, where Bowser ended in a time hole and Baby Bowser ended up in the Shroob Mothership. He showed up again after the Bros. beat Princess Shroob and, despite being warned, he put the Cobalt Star together and released the [[Elder Princess Shroob]]. He was then turned into a Shroob Mushroom. Baby Luigi's tears later turned him back to normal. He showed up at the end of the game going home and complaining about losing the Cobalt Star. |

| ===''Mario Artist: Paint Studio''=== | | ===Yoshi's Island DS=== |
| Baby Bowser's artwork from ''Yoshi's Story'' is reused as a stamp in ''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]''. | | Baby Bowser is, surprisingly, playable in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' for the later half of World 4, which is the ice area. He is able to shoot fire balls, but that replaces the ability for Yoshi to swallow enemies. In certain levels, he shows up to, as the Nintendo Power Player's Guide puts it, "kick some major enemy butt, of course!". His fireballs are very handy for melting ice cubes found around his levels. |

|
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| | Baby Bowser was at his castle when Bowser shows up from the future to kidnap the [[Star Children]] and gain control of the universe. His younger self was abducted by the Kamek from the future and brought to Bowser's castle. When Baby Bowser realizes what's going on, he insults his grown-up self and his plan, calling him an "old geezer". Enraged, Bowser kicks his younger self out of the castle, and Baby Bowser swears revenge as he plummets. |
| Baby Bowser appears in the form of a few collectible items in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Baby Bowser as he appears in ''Yoshi's Story'' can be obtained randomly in single-player modes or from the {{iw|smashwiki|Lottery}} randomly. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Baby Bowser is a Legend-class Neutral-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}} with two empty slots and no extra attributes. The [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] battle is a stamina battle which involves first fighting a tiny, orange Bowser on the Omega version of [[Find Mii]]. The stage is covered entirely in flames, meaning players get damaged if they have no lava immunity support spirits equipped. After the tiny Bowser is defeated, a large Bowser appears with more HP and with super armor. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===
| | After Baby Bowser lands, he yells into the sky in a futile attempt to remind his older self that they are one and the same. He then sees Baby Mario and tells him he saw Baby Luigi at Bowser's castle. This is when he realizes that he had just landed on Yoshi, and he excitedly gets a ride from him. He helps out Yoshi and his friends through the latter half of World 4, but after the defeat of [[Big Guy the Stilted]], he again finds Kamek from the future. Kamek flies off to tell Bowser, and Baby Bowser separates from Yoshi's group in an attempt to catch a ride on his broomstick, but he loses his grip and falls off. He later rejoins Yoshi's group, along with [[Baby Wario]], when they had finally reached Bowser's castle. However, at the end of the game, the snotty brat turns traitor (because he thinks the others are after his treasure), attacking Yoshi and the babies! The fight goes much like the previous one, but faster. Yoshi beats the little prince, and Kamek takes him away revealing Bowser, who after beating, in blown up to huge proportions (though not as big as Baby Bowser the first time) and Yoshi must smack him down with help from all of the babies. At the end, the Koopa Star Child falls off Kamek's broom, plummets down into Bowser's treasure, and starts arguing with Baby Wario...AGAIN. |
| Baby Bowser makes a cameo in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'' as one of the selectable high score icons. He also appears when Yoshi gets a [[Game Over]] with over 3000 yards on the Challenge Mode, laughing with Kamek. | |

| Baby Bowser is the secondary antagonist of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. At the start, Baby Bowser is first seen trying 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]]. | | Though Baby Bowser's first game appearance was ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' his actual first appearance was in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', in the episode "[[Two Plumbers and a Baby]]". Baby Bowser appeared in the ending of the episode. King Koopa fell in the [[Fountain of Youth]] and was turned into a baby. |
|
| |
|
| Baby Bowser then flees to the peak of Yoshi's Island with his caretaker, Kamek, where he orders Kamek to snatch the [[Yoshi Cookie]]s from the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s. When the Mario Bros. catch up to Baby Bowser at the peak, he scarfs down all the Yoshi Cookies, but starts choking. Baby Bowser then leaves to the other side of the peak after Kamek had given him some "evil" [[milk]]. While Mario and Luigi try to negotiate with him, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi gobble up all the cookies, causing Baby Bowser to become enraged. He runs off while the Mario Bros. defeat Kamek, and they corner him at the other side of the peak. Without thinking his plans through, Baby Bowser eats the Cobalt Star Shards in retribution for the cookies. As Mario and Luigi restrain him while Baby Mario attacks him to make him cough up the shards, Shroob saucers notice them. Soon after, he and the Mario Bros. are eaten by [[Yoob]]. | | Baby Bowser also appears in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]"; in this episode, King Bowser Koopa is regressed to an infant state when the [[Time Travel Tube]] he used to travel to [[Brooklyn]], New York to stop Mario and Luigi from ever coming to the Mushroom Kingdom malfunctioned and changeed him into a baby, along with [[Ludwig Von Koopa|Kooky Von Koopa]], Mario, Luigi and [[Toad]]. |
|
| |
|
| Inside Yoob, Baby Bowser, along with the Yoshis already eaten, are put inside an [[Egg (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|egg]]. When the Mario Bros. confront [[Sunnycide]], a monster within Yoob, he throws the egg Baby Bowser is in at Luigi, breaking it open. After the Mario Bros. defeat Sunnycide, Baby Bowser and all of the swallowed Yoshis escape Yoob.
| | ==Personality== |
| | A spoiled child, Baby Bowser frequently throws tantrums in hopes that his minions, Kamek and the Koopa Troop, will give him what he wants. He is greedy and also very gluttonous, as shown in ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'', where he eats a huge pile of Yoshi cookies, and the Cobalt Star. [[Toadbert]] calls him a 'little piggie'. He even insulted adult Bowser in [[Yoshi's Island DS]]. |
|
| |
|
| Back on Yoshi's Island, Baby Bowser tells the Yoshis that he saved them from Yoob. Having believed him, the Yoshis give him the rest of their cookies. Baby Bowser then eats all of the Yoshi Cookies and gets sick. He vomits the Cobalt Star Shards, which, seemingly with [[Elder Princess Shroob|a mind of their own]], hit him and fling him off of Yoshi's Island. The Mario Bros. and [[Toadbert]] show up afterwards to tell the Yoshis that Baby Bowser was lying.

| | |legend= Even as a youngster, Baby Bowser was already playing pranks and causing trouble for Baby Mario and his pal Yoshi. Even at this early age of his evil career, Baby Bowser had tons of henchmen at his disposal. Many experts speculate that Mario and Bowser have some sort of connection that can be traced back to their mutual births.}} |
|
| |
|
| Later on, Baby Bowser heads off to [[Thwomp Volcano]] to build a new castle, where he meets his future self, Bowser. After a minor argument, Baby Bowser and Bowser team up, not knowing the other ones identity, against the Mario Bros. They end up being beaten after the battle and flung into the sky by an [[Thwomp Elevator]], where Bowser ends up in a [[time hole]] and Baby Bowser ends up on top of the [[Shroob Mother Ship]].

| | == Foreign Names == |
| Baby Bowser shows up again after the Bros. have defeated Princess Shroob and, despite being warned by the adult Princess Peach, he puts the Cobalt Star Shards together and completes the Cobalt Star, releasing the Elder Princess Shroob, who turns him into a [[Shroob mushroom]]. After the battle with the Elder Princess Shroob, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi play on Baby Bowser's Shroobified form, until Baby Luigi gets hurt and his tears turn Baby Bowser back to his normal state. While the Mushroom Kingdom is cleansed of all traces of the Shroobs thanks to [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s [[Hydrogush]], Baby Bowser goes home, complaining about losing the Cobalt Star with Kamek telling him to let it go.

| Baby Bowser is the final boss in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its reissue]]. Baby Bowser is the sole baby character of both versions. He retains 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.

During the start of the game, he is seen riding on Kamek after he learned about the [[Sundream Stone]], where Kamek casts a spell pulling the Sundream Stone, resulting in the Yoshis pulling and tackling the Sundream Stone, resulting in Baby Bowser, Kamek, the Yoshis and the Sundream Stone flying into a forest, with the Sundream Stone's five Dream Gems being scattered around the island.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcndZNVUxFM&t=25s|timestamp=0:25|title=Yoshi’s Crafted World - Story Trailer - Nintendo Switch|publisher=YouTube|language=en-us|accessdate=June 20, 2024|date=January 8, 2019}}</ref> Unlike in the game's predecessor, Baby Bowser actively searches with Kamek for the Dream Gems.

The bosses they summon in order are [[Yarrctopus]], [[Tin-Can Condor]], [[Spike the Piranha]], [[Burt the Ball]], [[Shogun of Skewers]], [[Gator Train]], and [[Mr. Geary]].

| ==General information==
| |
| ===Physical appearance===
| |
| Baby Bowser shares many physical qualities with his adult counterpart, Bowser. They both have red hair and black cuffs on their arms. Baby Bowser has cuffs on his neck in both ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Story''. In these appearances, Baby Bowser appears with spiked cuffs, while in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS'', his cuffs appear with no spikes. Like Bowser, Baby Bowser has two red eyebrows (black on his ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi Island''{{'}}s sprite), a green shell with spikes, and two small nostrils on his nose. Baby Bowser also has claws on his hands and his feet. Unlike Bowser, Baby Bowser either has no horns or his horns are small and stubby, much like [[Bowser Jr.]]'s, depending on the game. When Baby Bowser is in the dark in ''Yoshi's Island'', he is shown to have yellow eyeshine. Additionally, he sports deep red blush on his cheeks in ''Yoshi's Island'', a trait that is omitted from later depictions (barring his debut game's [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|reissue]]). Overall, his current physical appearance is nearly identical to that of his future son Bowser Jr. with the only difference being that he has a blank bandanna or no bandana at all. In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Baby Bowser was given some resemblances to Bowser Jr.

| ===Personality=== | |
| His personality is that of a spoiled child. He frequently throws tantrums in hopes that his minions will give him what he wants. Also, unlike his adult self who is generally caring if a little short-tempered towards his minions, he is shown to be very abusive and disrespectful to them, which is best demonstrated by how he flattens Kamek, his guardian, after the latter accidentally woke him when confronting Yoshi and demanding Baby Mario in two separate instances, as well as implied in key artwork for ''Yoshi's New Island'', where Baby Bowser had beaten Kamek with the latter's wand while undergoing a tantrum. He is greedy and also very gluttonous, as shown in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', where he eats a huge pile of Yoshi Cookies and the Cobalt Star shards with Toadbert calling him a "little piggie". He even insulted his future self in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. He was also shown to be extremely protective of his treasure to the extent of being paranoid, turning on his allies in an instant if he even slightly suspected that they may be after it, as demonstrated in ''Yoshi's Island DS''. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's New Island'', Baby Bowser has a tendency to speak in baby-like language, with phrases such as "gween donkey" being heard from him. Even though Baby Bowser shows no awareness of his future archenemy, Baby Mario, in ''Yoshi's Island'' or ''Yoshi's New Island'' (even simply shoving him aside so he could ride Yoshi), he does directly reference the latter in ''Yoshi's Story'' by referring to Yoshi as "Mario's little pet." Owing to his age, he also tended to [[wikipedia:Speech sound disorder#Rhotacism|mispronounce words that have "l"s or "r"s, having them come out as "w"s]], mispronouncing his "th"s as "d"s, as well as mispronouncing his "i"s as "y"s, as evidenced by his speeches to Kamek and Yoshi in both ''Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's New Island''.
| |
| | |
| ===Abilities===
| |
| Even as a child, Baby Bowser demonstrated some of his adult self's traits, such as breathing fire (Either large streams of fire or fireballs) and possessing a surprising amount of strength. He can also Ground Pound and Flutter like Yoshi. He can also summon minions to attack, which is demonstrated with both his [[Ghost (Yoshi's Story)|pet]] and some Shy Guys. In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', he has a hammer just like the baby bros. Unlike Bowser, he seems to be more active and has a bigger appetite.
| |
| | |
| When enhanced by Kamek to become Big Baby Bowser, Baby Bowser also demonstrates some degree of telekinesis, as rubble is seen being lifted as he roars and lifts his hands up. He also is shown to breath massive fireballs, either directly at Yoshi or spraying them upwards to descend in an arc. He can also ground pound, with the quakes being potent enough to literally reshift the ground by raising it upward or sink downward.
| |
| | |
| ===Speech===
| |
| In ''Yoshi's Island'', his "voice" is composed of three record-skips at a low volume, two when ground-pounding (as well as brief roar when yawning). In ''Yoshi's Story'', he has a youthful, yet at the same time rasping element to his voice; when he takes damage, he uses a slightly higher-pitched version of his adult self's stock roar. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', he reuses the same laugh as [[Boo]], which is also a sped-up version of the same stock laugh used for his adult self in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. In most games since ''Partners in Time'', he was given a similar voice to [[Bowser Jr.]], albeit with a slightly higher pitch.
| |
| | |
| In most games, he speaks with a text box with limited voiced dialogue. His form of speech also varies from game to game: in some games, such as ''Yoshi's Island'' or ''Yoshi's New Island'', he speaks in a somewhat childish way, using broken English and replacing some letters with "w" (e.g. "gween" instead of "green"). In other games, like ''Yoshi's Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', however, he speaks in fluent English.
