☀️ Summertime Vacantion ☀️

Interviewer: Child of Sardior, are you aware that the Koopalings are no longer considered Bowser's children by Nintendo?

CoS: Thanks for asking. Yes, I am aware that in the current canon of the games, the Koopalings are not considered kids of the Koopa King anymore, but his loyal minions instead. I am aware this change was made around the time of Super Mario Sunshine, along the debut of Bowser Jr., more than 20 years ago. And No, I don't give s**t about it.

(Ofc, I'm talking about my personal Headcanon :P I love the current canon Koopalings and their personality, and I love them in any type of hc, be they Bowser's kids or not x3)

WELCOME TO MY KOOPA-FAMILY-HYPERFIXATION ERA!

[crookednachogalaxy]

i absolutely love the versatility that kamek has as a character when it comes to bowuigi, you could have this koopa be part of literally ANYTHING and it would work like???

make him the number 1 most bowuigi-phobic person, the range goes from YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY BABY to genuinely evil, maybe homophobic, set-on-conquering-the-world-through-bowser.

or have him be the number 1 bowuigi fan, probably president of their fanclub, gushing to kammy about how finally his majesty has found someone for himself!, to the point he's glowering down on the princess when she tries to express doubt because he's not gonna allow anyone to mess with bowser's happiness.

you could have him hiding in bushes with mario to spy on their date just as much as you could have him plotting against said date in the first place. i love him so much for it.

ultimately tho, i am very fond of the notion that luigi, over time, becomes one of kamek's favourite people in the world. regardless of whether kamek needs time to warm up to luigi or if he's been secretly fond the whole time. i can absolutely see them developing an unlikely and deep friendship/companionship with one another, brought about by tea and biscuits that luigi brought to his study unprompted because kamek has been holing himself up in magic research.

i can see kamek approaching luigi after he had a fight with bowser, trying to convince him that the king is a good person and he'll come around, only to be shocked when luigi assures him he had no plans of leaving despite the anger he feels in the moment.

i can see them staying up late into the night, luigi's natural curiosity about magic mixed with kamek's love of teaching making for long and improvised lessons, both learning more about the topics spoken about and each other, how they tick and think.

i can see them forming an almost father-son bond, similar to how i'd like to think e. gadd and luigi see one another. luigi may have accidentally called kamek 'pops', the same way bowser does in a rare, vulnerable moment, leaving the magikoopa short-circuiting on the spot. cue kamek ruminating on it the whole night before finally accepting he may have accidentally adopted a son-in-law before the "in-law" part ever came to be. afterwards, kamek slowly starts to be a bit physically affectionate with luigi, which over time becomes a natural part of their relationship.

luigi is also the type to send a card and chocolates or some sort of knick-knack to kamek on father's day, 100%. just needed to mention that.

overall, i think the two of them could have a very precious relationship with one another that i don't see explored very often. naturally, the focus lies on the actual bowuigi content, and any conflict or fluff that may arise in regards to the children and mario/peach/the mushroom kingdom. but just once i would like to see what sort of dynamic could work for luigi and kamek, how close they would be. just a thought of mine, really.

Are these two related

The Koopa Troopa and the young Toad I mean.

I think that the Koopa is either the father or like an uncle or something.

That's my head Cannon anyway

There Might Have Been No Koopaling Retcon?

In a previous post I talked about how the Koopalings were originally meant to be Bowser's Kids, and that this was retconned. However, upon further examination it seems the Koopalings since the start might have never been intended to be Bowser's children.

Okay so in the Japanese Manual of Super Mario Bros. 3's manual they are called Kokuppa 7 Kyōdai, meaning 7 Little Bowser Siblings. Notice how that doesn't say Bowser's kids, let's move on.

In the Japanese manual they are called Kokuppa 7 Ninshū meaning Team of 7 Little Bowsers. Again, not outright saying they are his kids.

So here's the thing, kuppa is Bowser's Japanese name, but also more than likely the name of his whole species. Similar to how Goomba can be named Goomba, but it's also the name of their species. So with that being said the little of 7 little Bowser/Koopa Siblings begins to make sense. Keep in mind Koopa Troopas or Common Koopas are called Nokonoko in Japan instead of Kuppa. The Japanese said wasn't saying they were Bowser's 7 children, it was saying that's their species name. Heck if the English side didn't give them their names they would have probably all just been called Bowsers.

So what's going on here? It's probably a localization problem based on misunderstanding the Japanese text and or adding to it. This is not uncommon especially back in the day. I intend to cover some examples in the future which I will link here. So if anything the the Team of 7 Little Bowsers were not intended to be his children, but the localization team added it in.

This naming is even seen in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga with them being called Kokuppa-gundan, aka Little Bowser Corps.

This naming could also explain Koopa Kid or his proper name Minikuppa, he is a species of Mini Bowsers, or if we were to say it in English Boss Koopas. Also showing this hypothesis to be wrong, and a hypothesis in this post to be correct. But..... In the manual it Morton and Larry call Bowser oyaji, which apparently means father. However, it can also mean boss, or old man. But Bowser does say ore-sama no musuko-tachi meaning my sons or my children.

How I see this going down:

Bowser: *walking with his troops to collect supplies from the Kongs*

Iggy: *piling up bananas for lunch*

Bowser: *pushes some bushes aside to see Iggy*

Iggy: ......

Bowser: What the-

Iggy: ........ *Slowly puts down the banana*

Bowser: *walks over and starts inspecting him*

Iggy: *confused and laughs from Bowser tickling him with his snout*

Bowser: where did you get these scars?

Iggy: *about to respond*

Bowser: Yknow what, You're mine now. *Picks him up by the scruff using his claws*

Iggy: *hasn't even said anything*

Kamek: you can't just adopt another child, sire!

Bowser: *already has Iggy on his back* Watch me-

Updated looks 2

Boom Boom: Husband to Kooky von Koopa (Victor Ludwig von Koopa) is head of security and leads the Koopa troopa when Bowser is away (remember that promotion k.v.k gave Boom?) He and Vic have been happily married for at least 3 years now, and he helps in the lab when Vic needs it when he's not training or doing his security job. The blue shell gloves were gifts from Roy for his birthday last year...probably stolen from giant land.

Pom pom: Lone lady of the Boomerang bro squad and Girlfriend to Kootie pie O'Koopa. She works with Boom as security for the castle and mainly deal with the weird things that sometimes happen in the castle....like defenestrating folks out the windows of the castle when the time calls for it . She recently had a similar incident that had befallen Kootie pie....Jr. wanting to play hairdresser....well she liked the short look so much she had Kp style it to what it looks like above. She still avoids missions that include being underwater . The new giant boomerang was a Koopmas gift from Kootie.

The Koopalings Are Not Bowser's Children

So I realize I have not made a post addressing the Koopalings and their status, only ever referring to it in passing. So as we know the Koopalings in the manuals were called Bowser's Kids, and that this led to external media such as the Super Mario Adventures comic and Super Mario Bros. 3 show depicting him as his kids.

While this was the original intention this was retconned and the Koopalings went from being Bowser's kids to his commanders. Note: There might have never been a retcon to begin with, however they still aren't his kids. I made another post going into detail on why this is. In a Gameinfomer titled Mario's Creators Answer Burning Questions About The Series interview when asked "In Super Mario Bros. 3, the Koopalings were supposed to be Bowser's children. But there's also Bowser Jr. Are they all his kids, and are they all from different mothers? Is Bowser Jr. a Koopaling?" Miyamoto responded with the following "Our current story is that the seven Koopalings are not Bowser's children. Bowser's only child is Bowser Jr., and we do not know who the mother is."

While many people have come to the conclusion that they are still his kids and they are just adopted, this isn't accurate. First off the intent is that they aren't his kids anymore, and you are still someone's kid if you are adopted.

The next part is the simple fact that they are never called his kids in any newer media. On the official website for NSMBWD they are only referred to as "leaders of Bowser's Troops." In cards they aren't called his children either.

The Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia outside of lifted text from old manuals which the Encyclopedia even notes, the Koopalings are never called his kids.

There is also the fact in game they are never called his kids, nor any implication they are adopted.

There is also the fact that they are too old to be his kids, and could even be as old as Bowser if not close to his age. In Color Splash Roy talks about attending night school or in other words he's in college. "I guess I'll just have to hope Lord Bowser can defeat you…" "Yeah, I know what irony is. BOOM. Knowledge is power, so I started going to night school."

There is the fact that the Koopalings only ever refer to Bowser by titles such as Lord Bowser and never father or stepdad, and they do the same for BJ calling him Lord Junior. They never talk about Jr being their brother, they talk about how he will be their boss one day, and they are even called his friends. "That punk will eventually be our boss!" "All right, Lord Junior.. We'll be facing off against Shy Guys in this next battle." "Well, he is Bowser's kid. There were bound to be some speed bumps." "They say that helicopter parenting doesn't work anyway. Just let 'em run wild!"

When Bowser asks them to watch over Junior they don't watch over him like older siblings, and even refer to it as being a form of parenting. They even directly refer to him as Bowser's Kid. There is also the fact Bowser beat up Iggy after making fun of Junior in front of Bowser. With all that being said, the Koopalings are not Bowser's kids but rather his underlings.
