Triple Trouble!

[k-simp]

So Me and a homie of mine talked about this idea since November 13th 2022 , and I just couldn't stop thinking about it that I had to at least draw something for this. It was originally going to be a Waluigi wardrobe and sketch design of him, but I went overboard

Waluigi's Apartments™️

"A game where Waluigi says goodbye to chasing after the stardom and respect from Nintendo but to embark on a new way of living, an adventure even, to find more forgotten characters and elements of Nintendo and give them a home that he never had"

I'm not exactly a gaming nerd to know what to reference and say this sounds like, but from what I played, I can say this is a mix between Kirby's Epic Yarn and Animal Crossing.

The characters in the boxes are

1. Donkey Kong Jr.

2. Wart

3. Stanley the Bugman

4. The DK Crew (Chunky, Tiny and Lanky)

5. Fawful

6. Keeby

7. Baby Wario & Princess Shokora

8. MC Ballyhoo

9. Geno

10. Boshi

11. Aqualea

12. Koopa Kid

These are not the only ones that will be featured in the game, but the main 12

I have so much to talk about with this idea, I really wanna make this into an actual game, maybe not a console game but a free game for Steam or devices like phones and tablets or something.

I'm not sure. But what I do know for sure is that I will be doodling more of this and Waluigi cause damn he's so cool, and Number 1 in our hearts

WAAAHH-

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.

The Koopa Kids

The Koopa Kids are henchmen of Bowser that appear in the Mario Party series and later playable in Mario Party 5 and 6, they bear a strong resemblance to Baby Bowser and are even called Baby Bowsers in the first three games, they also appear to have the ability to split/duplicate themselves

It's unknown what their relationship with Bowser is, in the english versions, they appear to have a parental relationship with Bowser however this is absent in JP versions

The Koopa Kids would later be forgotten due to Bowser Jr replacing him, in Mario Party The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, any minigame involving a Koopa Kid would be replaced with Bowser Jr

According to Nintendo on what happened to them, they are "Retired"

FANART OF KOOPA KID :DDD

[tealacted]

Don't lie to yourself. You know this is true.

[slaket-and-sprash]

Honestly between foreman spike in the Mario movie, the whole Kong scene with Diddy, Dixie, Swanky and Chunky in the background, and poochie being in Mario kart tour alongside a yoshis island stage, I really hope this means that more obscure bits of Mario lore are present in future games, movies, and tv shows.

Like imagine if they bring back the "chosen star children" plot from yoshis island into the second Mario movie,. they set up peach having a mysterious backstory and we already have 6/7 star children in the movie, the only one missing is Wario and Jack Black hinted at him being the villian of the second movie.

Speaking of Wario, imagine if they add some of the Wario Land/Ware charecters in the second movie. Imagine if the employees in the WarioWare series are Wario's cronies.

Imagine if we get more obscure charecters in the movies or games, like plum, fawful, koopa kid etc. I'd love if fawful becomes the main villian of the Mario movie at one point or gets to be in Mario kart.

Imagine a level In the next mainline Mario game where plum is the princess of the land and some other Camelot humans appear giving you quests. Imagine if they finally add wario ware charecters to Mario kart tour and make a new diamond city track (or remake the one from Mario kart GP)

And like imagine if we see the partners from Mario again. Or dimentio or count bleck/timpani. Or maybe even some Mario RPG stuff like geno. I'm sorry this is pure wishful thinking but I would love to see more obscure charecters in the Mario mythos to appear again.

Mario Kart Triple Dash!

No, Red Koopa Kid! That's the wrong blue shell!

There was no Bowser option for the kart besides Bowser Jr so I had to use that one.

Koopa Kid Is Probably Baby Bowser

So in a previous post I've put forth speculation on who Koopa Kid is. At this point I do believe Koopa Kid is Baby Bowser who a bit older than the one in Yoshi's Island and Partner's in Time.

First off we know Baby Bowser is one of the various names for Koopa Kid outside of Mini Bowser. I think they are one that's slightly older than the Baby Bowser seen in Yoshi Story. This Baby Bowser seems to be a bit bigger than what we've seen in previous games, and has better speech. They also have at this point ditched their bandana or entirely, and now wears spiked armlets. This Baby Bowser is also aware of who Mario and the Yoshis are. While in the other games he didn't know who Mario was yet until Partner's In Time, and in PIT he didn't seem to hate Yoshis yet.

Finally at this point Baby Bowser is capable of wielding Magic. Koopa Kid is shown to be able to wield magic, wears spiked arm bracelets, doesn't wear a bib or bandana, is a bit bigger than the younger Baby Bowser, looks like Baby Bowser, and is even called Baby Bowser at times. So I think Koopa Kid is Baby Bowser.
