| ==An Observation; Is it Noteable?== | | {{award-winner |
| While playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii, I noticed something. In the entire game, Bowser Jr. never wears his bandana on his face except for two instances: the ending and begining cutscenes, which are also the only two times in the game that Bowser Jr. is on the same screen as the Koopalings. I thought that, considering he's the youngest and that all the other koopalings have fully developed fangs while he doesn't, it was kind of interesting that he never actually shows his face uncovered while in the presence of his siblings. Nothing major, but it seemed pretty interesting to me. Does this seem noteworthy enough to be mentioned somewhere on the Bowser Jr. or New Super Mario Bros. Wii page or trivia section?

| Uhh, this is pretty irrelevant to Bowser Jr. himself, but I'm not really fond of the Koopa family tag...mark...thing at the bottom there. Lakitu and not Morton? Morton IS a dead link at the moment, and I wouldn't be able to make as detailed of a page compared to other Koopaling pages, but he deserves to be there more than Lakitu. Does anyone know how to fix this? [[User:Evan|Evan]] | | Uhh, this is pretty irrelevant to Bowser Jr. himself, but I'm not really fond of the Koopa family tag...mark...thing at the bottom there.

| I think brush alows him to transform, while the bandanna allows him to assume the form of mario.

| |
|
| |
| I disagree, BowserInTheSun - when Shadow Mario transforms back into Bowser Jr., first he spins around, making a Shadow Bowser Jr. (Bowser Jr., but made out of that blue goop), then pulls down the bandana, ridding his body of the goop. So I'm pretty sure that the bandana makes the goop (I know that doesn't seem to make sense), then uses the brush to move the goop around into the right shape - or the spinning does that, and the brush does nothing. {{User:Supershroom/sig}}

| Guys, Nintendo themselves have confirmed that the Koopalings are not Bowser's kids, but just high-ranking koopas. Bowser Jr. is an only child. READ THE KOOPALINGS ARTICLE {{Super Comical Bros]]

| :I think this discussion is deviating from the main point. The real question is whether or not there is a significant relationship between Bowser Jr. and Princess Peach. Whether you call it an Affiliation or Relationship seems very moot, as you could fit the definition under either. In my opinion, I do think their relationship is significant enough to warrant a mention in this way. Much of Bowser Jr.'s actions in the all of the games he has been in revolve around his ties to Princess Peach, making such a relationship important enough in the Mario storyline and to Bowser Jr.'s persona to warrent its mention as a significant relationship in Bowser Jr.'s article. {{User|Bowser Jr. Nutt}} 15:45 5 April 2010 (EST)

| :In most cases, the latest artwork is used. But the [[:File:Bowserjr NSMBU.png|Bowser Jr. artwork]] for ''NSMBU'' is specialized for that game, meaning there is something "atypical" about it (see [[Template:character infobox|the policy]]). In this case, Bowser Jr. is flying the [[Koopa Clown Car#New Super Mario Bros. U|Koopa Clown Car]]. Therefore, the older solo artwork from ''Mario Party 9'' is used instead.

| The Chinese "酷霸王" is the iQue translation. Usually, we still call that "库巴 Jr." , which is the same as the traditional way, but the characters are simplified.

| |
| == Did he really survive stickerstar? ==
| |
|
| |
| As we all know it is heavily implied that Jr. is killed after the last battle against him in sticker star. The article says he survived because he is in the ending parade. However the ending parade is simply a non-canon, fun way to show the characters in a RPG game. The article should mention that he probably was killed for real. This part of the trivia section for one of the villans (Mack) of Mario RPG is a good example of how it could be done, "The ending seems to imply that the original Mack survived after his defeat, as he, along with Bowyer and Yaridovich, is seen in the ending parade being pounded by Smithy's hammer. This does not automatically indicate his survival, however, as the parade is merely an interesting way of showing the characters who were in the game.". While we are on the subject this change should also be added to the Sticker Star part of Kamek's article.- pants98

| '''@Joseph''' I think you could have just inquired about this by regularly making a new section. {{User:BabyLuigi64/sig}}
| |
| :I think he would be better off if he actually read and understood the infobox image policy {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:06, 26 September 2014 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| @Joseph Smash Images should not be in infoboxes that are not Smash Bros. related. And @Toadbrigade5 That is false. {{User:Randombob-omb4761/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| @opposers: What policy? All I see is a recommendation. Don't link to guidelines and think it's automatically policy and ''must'' be followed. :/ {{User:Mario/sig}} 17:09, 26 September 2014 (EDT)
| |
| :What people were referring to was [[Template:character infobox|this]]. (''However, if the latest artwork is specialized for that game (i.e. the character's wearing sporting gear, driving a kart, etc.), an older image may be retained as the infobox image instead.'') {{User:BabyLuigi64/sig}}
| |
| ::@mario: because it should be optional to follow policies that are written for a reason {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 19:16, 26 September 2014 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :::Ummmmm, yeah, just because ''very specific instructions'' aren't in the "MarioWiki" or "Help" namespaces [[MarioWiki:Don't shoot your foot off|that ''doesn't'' make them optional]]. If they could be dismissed as "more like guidelines anyway", then what would be the point of writing them out in the first place? In fact, those infobox instructions were specifically made to stop these TPPs from happening all the time - we just didn't think we needed to make a whole bloody policy page about it. As for the full instructions (yeah, I know it was already quoted in part, but I'm not rewriting this edit-conflicted post anymore than I absolutely have to and I want this excerpt to really stand out anyway):
| |
|
| |
| :::<blockquote>''A representative image of the character - ideally, artwork from the most recently released game. However, if the latest artwork is specialized for that game (i.e. the character's wearing sporting gear, driving a kart, etc.), an older image may be retained as the infobox image instead. Note that the infobox cannot be updated while a game is still upcoming: it can only be changed after the game is released.''</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| :::''SSB4'' is the latest game, but it's got the Clown Car in it, so it's not an ideal representation of him. Similarly, ''MG:WT'' depicts him golfing, so that's out. Then we have ''MP:IT'', which is better but has him toting around a shell, so a case can be made against it, I suppose, but it's getting flimsier. ''NSMBU'' has the Clown Car again, and with special boxing gloves or something, so no, and ''MTO'' doesn't have solo art of him, bringing us to our current artwork from ''MP9'' (afaik). So the debate really boils down to whether the generic ''MP:IT'' shell prop is "specialized for that game" and whether the Clown Car is similarly disqualifyingly "specialized" for ''SSB''. I would have been better if this ''was'' just a discussion instead of a whole TPP, but oh well. Hopefully we'll get some propless Junior art again before long and then we can update the infobox without any issue at all... - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 19:43, 26 September 2014 (EDT)

| ==About Bowser Jr.'s voice actresses==
| |
| Hello,
| |
| I actually searched throughout the entire internet but couldn't find an answer to that question : Why did Dolores Rogers stopped voice acting Bowser Jr/Why did Sagoian took up the role ? All I know is that Dolores Rogers didn't retire because she's currently voicing Wiggler... Can you answer me please ? Thanks.

| == Bowser Jr's Mother Revealed? ==
| |
|
| |
| Should we mention it now? Shigeru Miyamoto made a video about 'Mario Myths', and his anwer to who Bowser Jr's mother is was...
| |
|
| |
| Himself.
| |
|
| |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu2DnTd3dEo
| |
|
| |
| Either way, this could make the 'relationships' part of the article hilarious awkward!
| |
|
| |
| :No. It's clear that Miyamoto didn't mean to take this literally. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 15:28, 10 September 2015 (EDT)

| |
| ::On the technical side, if an official Nintendo developer states it, isn't it as true as the grass is green? And saying that it would be a joke would be ''speculation'', right? {{User:Pyro Guy/sig}} 13:56, 19 September 2015 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :::It's most likely that he meant that he came up with the character IRL, but it ''would'' be speculation to state that that's ''absolutely'' what he meant. However, saying he was joking ''isn't'' speculation: it's obvious that we're not supposed to interpret his answer as him being the in-universe mother - taking it literally like that would make the wiki look nothing sort of foolish. We ''are'' allowed to use common sense around here for the sake of comprehensive and respectable articles. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 14:08, 19 September 2015 (EDT)

| ==Should we make a redirect link of "Paper Bowser Jr." to the Paper Mario section of this page?==
| |
| Scans from Famitsu (that can be seen [http://i.imgur.com/UsYSlYv.jpg here]) reveal that in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam both Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. will be present. Of course, making a separate page for Paper Bowser Jr. might be a little overkill, but I think we should consider at least making a redirect to the Paper Mario section of this page so that working "Paper Bowser Jr." link can be made.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 12:04, 14 October 2015 (EDT)
| |
| :Redirects are more for the convenience of the reader and not the convenience of the editor. If we're going to have the paper variant be a part of the "main" article, our links would look something like <nowiki>[[Bowser Jr.#Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|Paper Bowser Jr.]]</nowiki>. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

| == Cameo in SMB movie ==
| |
|
| |
| One of the "Did you know" items from April Fools 2013 was this:
| |
|
| |
| *That [[Bowser Junior]]'s first appearance [http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/preproduction/script/01-SMB_R&B_Pitch_10-28-91.pdf was a cameo] at the end of one of the rejected [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' movie]] scripts?
| |
|
| |
| (Don't let the words "April Fools" fool you, this is actually true. I'm just explaining where I found this.)
| |
|
| |
| Do you think this is the kind of information that we should cover? Should we add it to the trivia section? I don't think it deserves its own subsection
| |
|
| |
| {{User:Banon/sig}} 19:07, 28 December 2015 (EST)
| |
| :I don't think this is an actual appearance, as the script was rejected. Maybe you are thinking about a Super Princess Peach situation, where the Koopalings sprites were rejected too, but I think there is a difference: in that case the sprites were left in the final version, in this case no sign of Bowser Jr. was in the final version, as far as I know. Still, maybe you can put it in the trivia as what could have been an appearance, but wasn't.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 19:57, 28 December 2015 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| ::Since the movie predated Junior's debut by many years, it's not ''actually'' a (potential) appearance by him, just a fun coincidence. However, it ''is'' worth mentioning that a rejected pitch had ''a'' "[Bowser] Junior" as a cameo in the sequel hook, just don't be cheeky about it like we were for the AF DYK and pretend like it's a real appearance. Ideally, if there was a "Creation" section before History, it could go there, or an "Other Appearances" section at the end of the History, since it doesn't deserve a History section until itself; until either section exists, however, I suppose it could go in Trivia. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:14, 28 December 2015 (EST)

| ==Age==
| |
| In [[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]], Bowser Jr. seems somewhat taller and different compared to his last appearance ([[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]). I'm not sure if this is good enough to go in the article, but I noticed that he seems like he's the same height as Mario, whereas in other games, he seemed a bit shorter than him. Again, I don't know if this is good enough to go into the article, but can we look into this? <span style="color:green">[[User:B ron 3000|'''B ron''']] [[User talk: B ron 3000|'''3000''']]</span> [[File:MP9 Luigi Icon.png|x35px]] 22:25, 27 August 2017 (EDT)
| |
| : Junior's like Bowser in that his size changes depending on the game. In "Super Smash Bros" (not really a good example, but moreso, for the sake of the argument, let's go with it) he's probably the shortest character on the roster outside of his clown car (roughly the same height, if not shorter than Villager). Meanwhile, in "Super Mario Galaxy", he's taller than Princess Peach. Even his speech patterns are a bit hard to use as proof since he usually calls Bowser "Dad" nowadays, but he still uses "Papa" in the 3DS version of "Rio 2016" and in "Mario + Rabbids"--[[User:Thatguy62|Thatguy62]] ([[User talk:Thatguy62|talk]]) 22:31, 27 August 2017 (EDT)

| == Decide what image to use for Bowser Jr.'s infobox ==
| |
| {{Settled TPP}}
| |
| {{Proposal outcome|passed|11-3-3|''Mario Party 9''}}
| |
| Since this seems to be a bit contentious right now, I figured the best option would be to make a TPP to decide which image we should use for Bowser Jr.'s infobox.
| |
|
| |
| <gallery>
| |
| File:MP9 Bowser Jr Artwork.png|Option 1
| |
| File:SMPBowserJr.png|Option 2

| |
|
| |
| I apologize if I did this incorrectly, not sure if we do TPPs for this sort of thing anymore.
| |
|
| |
| '''Proposer''': {{User|Waluigi Time}}<br>
| |
| '''Deadline''': January 19, 2019, 23:59 GMT
| |
|
| |
| ===Option 1 (Mario Party 9)===
| |
| #{{User|Waluigi Time}} It's a render which is consistent with the main series and most spinoffs, which is what we usually use. It's also a more standard pose than the one from Super Mario Party and shows his appearance better.
| |
| #{{User|Super Radio}} Usually, as far as I know, the infobox should contain the most recent artwork of the article's subject, but in this case, since Bowser Jr. has more appearances in 3D than in 2D, I think it's more appropriate to use a 3D render rather than the drawn artwork. It's also more consistent with other infoboxes for major characters. And I prefer the first option for the same reason as you.
| |
| #{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} Seems like the best option right now.
| |
| #{{User|Doomhiker}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|BBQ Turtle}} Per all, if there is official 3D artwork available we should go for that, but this is a better pose than the Super Mario Party artwork. I was going to bring this up before and forgot, actually, so per all.
| |
| #{{User|MeritC}} Per all; I think this still definitely represents Bowser Jr.'s character at this time.
| |
| #{{User|Scrooge200}} Infobox images are the first thing you see when you go on the page, and I think this one represents Bowser Jr. the best.
| |
| #{{User|Sdman213}} Per all, I've always preferred this to his Super Mario Party art.
| |
| #{{User|bwburke94}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Bazooka Mario}} I really don't like the awkward posing from ''Super Mario Party''.
| |
|
| |
| ===Option 2 (Super Mario Party)===
| |
| #{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Following our own rules; this proposal is ridiculous. What's wrong with the pose? Shell's just as important as the bib.
| |
| #{{User|WeirdDave13}} Per Doc. Makes more sense to use this one instead.
| |
| #{{User|MarioManiac1981}} Per Doc. Since the other characters have their infoboxes updated to use their ''Super Mario Party'' artworks (barring Mario and Luigi), why shouldn't Bowser Jr.'s artwork stay the way it is? Option 3 should be in Bowser Jr.'s gallery page.
| |
|
| |
| ===Option 3 (Bowser Jr.'s Journey)===
| |
| #{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Looks good enough to fit in the infobox. Since it's the recent Mario game to have been released in Japan, i think this is the most appropriate option. The Mario & Luigi artworks are drawn in a very good way.
| |
| #{{User|Scrooge200}} This one is my second choice.
| |
| #{{User|MarioManiac1981}} Per all. This is my second option.
| |
|
| |
| ===Comments===
| |
| @Doc von Schmeltwick: This proposal is only to clear up the issue of putting the Bowser Jr.'s Journey artwork in the infobox. If the admins determine using the MP9 artwork over the SMP is against policy, then they can deal with that once this passes. I do recall in the past artwork has been skipped if the pose itself is unsuitable, but I'm not quite sure. It might be a good idea for the standards for infobox artwork to be elaborated on in the future. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:15, 6 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| :It's not straightforward and easy to put on a policy though, and at a certain point a case-by-case inspection is needed. In this case, the problem with the ''Mario & Luigi'' series is that it has its own artstyle, there is a tendency to avoid artwork in a unique artstyle as it tends to alter main features of the design, although in this case there doesn't seem to be an important removal or alteration of any of the major traits of Bowser Jr.'s design. In the case of the artwork for ''Super Mario Party'', there is indeed the issue that [[List of Bowser Jr. profiles and statistics#Mario Portal|the bib is a main trait of Bowser Jr.]], so the concern on whether the main artwork should show it in full is legitimate. Finally, the artwork of ''Mario Party 9'' is really old and is missing some details, like those related to the material of which the cuffs and the bibs are composed. There is no clear better solution here.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 18:55, 6 January 2019 (EST)
| |
| ::Yeah, that's true. I do think something should be mentioned about exceptions being allowed in cases of stylized artwork (although, looking at the infobox again, I'd say that falls under "if the latest artwork is specialized for that game") or poses that may be unsuitable though. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 19:30, 6 January 2019 (EST)

| ::"Bowser Koopa" was used in some very early adaptations (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, White Knuckle Scorin'), but all of them are pre-Bowser Jr. by a long shot. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:35, July 30, 2021 (EDT)
