==Trivia==
*According to the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) bestiary|Monster List]] entry, the Bowser Clone has a way of speaking that is unlike the real Bowser, although this is not clear in the original game due to his short thought. In Japanese, his speech is written in kanji where the real Bowser's would usually be in katakana; in Chinese and Korean, his tone is different, with the latter noting more authority; in English, Spanish, French, and German, he rolls his Rs; in English and Italian, he is noted to sound fancy; and in Dutch, he speaks with a soft G. Additionally, in Japanese, the real Bowser's thought was modified to look less like the clone, as he uses kanji in the [[list of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content|unused]] original and katakana in the remake. This might indicate that the Bowser Clone's use of kanji is a development gag.

Trivia[edit]

  • According to the Monster List entry, the Bowser Clone has a way of speaking that is unlike the real Bowser, although this is not clear in the original game due to his short thought. In Japanese, his speech is written in kanji where the real Bowser's would usually be in katakana; in Chinese and Korean, his tone is different, with the latter noting more authority; in English, Spanish, French, and German, he rolls his Rs; in English and Italian, he is noted to sound fancy; and in Dutch, he speaks with a soft G. Additionally, in Japanese, the real Bowser's thought was modified to look less like the clone, as he uses kanji in the unused original and katakana in the remake. This might indicate that the Bowser Clone's use of kanji is a development gag.
