'''Bowser's mother''' is a character who primarily appears on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' in the episode "[[Do You Princess Toadstool Take this Koopa...?]]" She is portrayed as being loudmouthed and overbearing, appearing to be somewhat disappointed in and continuously doting on [[Bowser]], and is also hinted at being somewhat of a glutton. Bowser constantly refers to her as "Mama," while she calls him "Koopums."

In "Do You Princess Toadstool Take this Koopa...?" King Koopa first mentions his mother in the episode while making preparations for the wedding with [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], whom he had blackmailed into marrying him. Unable to think of any friends to invite, Koopa tells [[Mouser]] to invite his mother, saying she will come for the cake.

Koopa's mother arrives at [[Bowser's Castle|the castle]] as he is instructing his [[Koopa Troopa]] band to play better. Immediately praising him for finally finding a wife to settle down with, Koopa's mother, upon seeing Toadstool, proclaims that after Toadstool and Koopa are married, they will honeymoon with Toadstool in "the foulest, smelliest swamp in seven worlds." Toadstool sobs after hearing this, which Koopa's mother misinterprets as her being overcome with joy.

As the wedding is about to begin, Koopa's mother scolds Koopa for not being dressed properly, him hurrying off to get ready. As Koopa puts on his wedding jacket and pants, his mother calls for him to hurry. Koopa impatiently returns to the wedding with Mouser, not noticing that he had left behind his [[Magic Wand|Koopa Scepter]], which [[Mario]] manages to claim. Before Toadstool can say, "I do," [[Fire Mario|Super Mario]], Super [[Luigi]], and [[Toad]] appear to interrupt the wedding with a hail of [[fireball]]s. After Toadstool calls the wedding off upon learning that Koopa had double-crossed her, his mother voices her outrage that she now has to tell all their relatives that he is still a bachelor. She then punishes him by ordering him to sit in the corner for six days, as he falls on his face.

Although King Koopa's mother does not physically appear on ''[[King Koopa's Kool Kartoons]]'', she makes a cameo on a picture portrait next to [[Ratso]]'s cage on the show's main set.
