Yeah, it made me pretty annoyed that they weren't his kids too. I wonder if it was because of complaints on the American front about the motherless kids? Anyway, they will forever be Bowser's kids to me.

They're still Bowsers kids via the magic that is personal canon.

Also Lemmy and Iggy where my favourites. For some reason I loved imagining thier were like the Rosencrantz and Guildenstein of Super Mario, off having completely wacky, irrelevant adventures in parallel to Mario. I was a weird kid.

Well that's fucking stupid. Bowser Jr. is an annoying little shit and just a knock off of Baby Bowser from Yoshi's Island, which debuted Baby Mario and Baby Luigi who just won't stop fucking appearing in games with their adult selves. Still won't even acknowledge who the mother of either the Koopalings or Junior is, so "being motherless" isn't an issue.

What the hell, Nintendo?

Damn that's sad, one of the reasons why I like Mario bros super star saga was that they had his kids in it as mini bosses & Geno as a puppet.

Lame. Not the picture, but the Koopalings being no longer Bowser's kids.

Lemmy was my favorite too, for completely unknowable reasons.

Lemmy’s Always my favorite Koopaling Since I played new super Mario bros wii

http://www.lemmykoopa.com My early years on the internet in a bottle.

Ironically, that site in a way led me to here and the furry fandom over the years. I used to go there from 2002 til 2006 when I got kinda bored of it. It was just a phase I was going though.

-REALLY- now? o.o well, uh... I doubt you remember me from there. did you used to go by a different alias back then?

I *think* I remember you there. There were a lot of yoshi usernames going around that it escapes me. ^^; I used to go by the name ShotNthedark (you can still see some submissions of mine if you look hard enough on the site). Not exactly fitting but I wanted to be different. Did you used to go the forums by any chance?

I certainly remember you, Shotty. ; P I namely was at the Roleplay forums back in those days for the most part and was good friends with the likes of StrangeOne and Wooster and folks like that. good times, good times.

I don't get why they would do that, unless they were trying to claim that Peach wasn't the mother. It was rather obvious she was though, I mean by this point she is getting kidnapped on purpose.

Lemmy always had the best balance, at least they appeared in NSMB2...stupid addicting coins

Yeah, that was announced a couple of months ago. The kids were apparently found as eggs resting in an abandoned nest and Bowser decided to adopt all seven.

yeah, kinda bums me out too. However, I am glad that those characters still "exist" within the Mario universe-- if they were deleted or erased entirely I would've been even more upset, because I actually really like them.

Yeah, I think we're still up in the air as to just how Baby Bowser was born. My guess is some horrible love affair during, or shortly before the events of Super Mario Sunshine, due to the whole "Momma Peach" line.

Damn it, Pie, now you've got me thinking about the inherently painful nature of birthing something with a spiked shell.

I love how peach doesn't automatically deny being the mother, like it's actually an option and she's genuinely surprised.

Super Mario Sunshine was a wonderful game, wasn't it? XD

Yeah that bugged me too. This takes me back, though. I spent a bit of time in my early internet days messing around with Koopaling fan sites, including a particularly big one devoted to Lemmy.

It's just big papa Nintendo trying to bury the truth! Had too many questions about Peach and Bowser always spending all that alone time together. A lot can happen while a plumber hoofs it across eight worlds, maaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

Awww I just wanna give 'im a big hug <3 He's my personal favorite as well. And I had found out about that recently myself. I'm not going to lie, I actually threw a chair because I am sick and tired of Nintendo beating these kids like... well the 'adjective-adjective step-child' punchline would just make me sad right now.

Lemmy was everyone's favorite.
And why would they ret con the best villians in a mario game? Totally freaking better than some of the crap they've been coming up with

Not much of a retcon, really. They're still "his" kids, just not biological, which makes more sense since when the heck did he find time for a family?

But it still raises the question of where Bowser Jr. came from..

SMB3 koopa kids are forever the "official" koopa kids in my mind.

Aren't they still his kids? Just not biological? Adopted or not, kids are kids.

He was never quite the same after that head injury.

Blushes like heck if Lemmy kisses me....^/////////^!

Aw
