Bowser's family is a mystery. Like Mario, we don't know who his parents are. But, Bowser does have one family member who you probably NEVER knew existed: Bowser's brother, who Nintendo forgot about. Today, let's uncover Nintendo's forgotten character, Bowser's brother!

  • This character *is* Bowser's younger brother, but he's the opposite of Luigi: brave on the outside and a scaredy-cat on the inside. He gave up the first few times Mario kicked his butt, which is why the third turns into a Spiny, and has stayed far away from his big bro's plans ever since. Whether he's a big chicken or actually smart, I'll leave up to you.

  • I just realized; people hate it in horror games/movies when there’s explanations behind what’s supposed to be scary, thus detracting from the fear of the unknown. In the Super Mario universe, which is on the opposite spectrum of scary, absolutely nothing is explained, thus the Mario universe embraces the fear of the unknown better than most horror properties.

Aside from Bowser's only real son, this is the only one with Jr in his name. Maybe Mario had defeated Bowser's brother for good in Mario 2, and Bowser named a Koopaling in honor of him?

  • In my headcanon, the blue Bowser turned into Dry Bowser (as a separate character from Bowser Dry Bowser) after being defeated in Lost Levels. I mean, he fell into lava just like Bowser when he turned into (Bowser)Dry Bowser and then we now have a different unique Dry Bowser that even has a statue in seemingly ancient Bone-Dry Ruins, so why not? About the time discrepancy in blue Bowser becoming Dry Bowser in Lost Levels and then having a statue in ancient ruins, remember how 1-1 was in Brawl's Mushroomy Kingdom.

But Bowser shot a banzai bill at Blowser's airship, causing it to burn and fall. So Blowser turns into Dry Bowser and fights Bowser 1 on 1. So Dry lost and realized Bowser didn't leave him. He had a kingdom, but he was just forgotten by most fans of Mario. So Dry turned good.

If Bowser adopted them, what about Bowser Jr.? Maybe Bowser adopted a koopa kid named Bowser, so he is now to be referred to as Bowser Jr. Thank you for clearing that up. I been wondering if the Koopalings were related to Bowser, because we never see Bowser's wife. Someone did a video of what happened to Bowser's wife, but I'm not sure if it was confirmed by Nintendo. Even in Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon, the Koopalings did say about Bowser being their father, but I was thinking that Bowser was their substitute father.

Like, since the Mario bros are close and work together to achieve a shared goal, the Bowser brothers could be dysfunctional, distant, and have totally different goals. This could even play into how he's rarely ever mentioned or seen.

  • I always thought Bowser’s last alt in Smash was Dark Bowser from Bowser’s Inside Story. What’s confusing is Smash 4’s description. Calling the alt a ‘clone’ makes sense if it implies Dark Bowser, because Dark Bowser’s shown to be a clone of Bowser in-game. However, it doesn’t imply Dark Bowser. The description still references Lost Levels, making it clear that this isn’t who they’re talking about.

  • My head cannon: Bowser's Brother, was killed by Mario canonically in Mario Bros 2/Lost Levels. With him being dead, Bowser adopts his 7 children and raises them as his own. This explains why they don't appear in Mario 1 and why they hate Mario just as much as their adoptive father/uncle.

  • I think Blue Bowser could be Bowser's younger brother, but I consider Morton Koopa Sr. Bowser's older brother. Moron Sr. is also the father of the 7 koopalings, hence Morton Jr. So, Bowser Jr. is the cousin of the 7 koopalings.

And why do they call him LORD JR? Why do they call Bowser BOSS or KING if they're his nephews? Why does Kamek give them orders in Bowser Jr journey when Kamek is not a part of Bowser's family,being just his servant? Sure,Kamek raised Bowser,but he was always treated as a servant by both child and adult Bowser,and Kamek himself calls Bowser "your awfulness" or other stuffs. The koopalings are NOT a part of Bowser's family.

It makes some level of sense. But, not liking it, they scrapped the idea after SMB2. This hypothetical idea may have resulted in the creation of Waluigi to go alongside Wario.

  • Love these videos on Mario history and lore and real world history! You should do a video on “What are Wario & Waluigi?” There has been lots of rumors and bits of info from early comics and publications, such as Wario being Mario’s uncle, an evil Mario, or being a jealous imitator/rival. There are questions about if Wario & Waluigi are brothers like Mario & Luigi are. And are they human? They look like some kind of elves based on their pointy ears and shoes. I’m curious if Charles Martinet has any insight from Miyamoto on what their relationship to the Mario Bros. actually is, as he’s been directed to voice then over the years.
