Army Analysis: Bowser's Lieutenant: Bowser Jr

 Background


The son of Bowser and the future king of the Koopa troop. Bowser Jr was first introduced in the game Mario Sunshine, where he aimed to kidnap Peach due to thinking she was his mother(which she doesn’t deny for some reason?). Since then he’s acted as one of Bowser’s chief enforcers and sidekick in various Mario games like New Mario Bros, the Galaxy games and numerous RPGs. He eventually reveals that he knows Peach isn't his mom, but fights Mario repeatedly anyway out of pride.


Armor

Shell

Jr has a larger turtle like shell he can duck into for defense. He can also ram into opponents as an attack with it.

Transformations


Shadow Mario
