Junior

Braxton Bernard, Jr. (most commonly referred to as Junior; formerly Bowser Junior) is a main character of the SML series and is a student At Y U DUMB? ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. His real name is revealed to be Robert in "The Koopa Kids!", however, that video was non-canon as the Koopalings miniseries was a remake. From 2013 to mid 2016, he was the spoiled and bratty son of Braxton. However, from late 2016 to late 2019, he became somewhat more mature and acts less bratty and his relationship with Bowser improved to the point where they both love each other and started to bond every day. 
Bowser Junior's personality was introduced in 2013, revealing him as a baby bratty version of Bowser. Always demanding and getting what he wants. In the past, he showed no mercy towards Chef Pee Pee and was always controlling over him thinking he had power of him because his boss is Junior's father. 
Junior always believed that he is cooler than everyone else. However, Junior lacked actual intelligence as he was sent to summer school in 2014, also thinking that the Sun is a planet and that the Moon was discovered by Neil Armstrong. Junior continued his bratty, selfish personality for a while and still continues to show it today. 
Currently, Junior rarely bothers Chef Pee Pee. Despite that, however, Chef Pee Pee still hates him. He hangs out with his current friends such as Cody, Joseph, Jeffy and occasionally Richard Goodman and formerly others such as Lil' T, Felipe and Chris the Cucumber. In his early years, he was the archenemy of Brooklyn T. Guy and Principal Steinbeck. However, in later years, he is sometimes the arch-rival of Chef Pee Pee. He began dating his ex–enemy Penelope in 2023, having one brief breakup between late December and early January.
== Physical Appearance ==
Junior appears the same as he does in numerous Mario games, with a light green head, a convex tan snout, a single tooth, horns with brownish-orange rings and a dark yellow body. For attire, he wears his trademark bib.
His human puppet appearance depicts him with black eyes, orange eyebrows, a small clump of orange hair, and horns fully skin-colored. For attire, he now wears an orange t-shirt, a white bib that reads 'Jr', green shorts, black wristbands and orange sneakers. 
== Personality==
Bowser Junior's personality was extremely variant in earlier videos and over time has had numerous different sides to him. Junior is known for being an annoyance to everyone around the house, especially towards Chef Pee Pee, and always caused a disruption that usually leads to Bowser yelling at Chef Pee Pee for it or sometimes vice-versa.
He also got rabies and started acting weird in "Bowser Junior Gets Rabies! " When the rabid squirrel bit him, he turned into a wild animal and was foaming at the mouth. Chef Pee Pee gave him a pill and that made Junior feel better and then he bit him. At the end of the video, Bowser Junior said that "Chef Pee Pee was having "babies" himself.
It's pretty apparent that Junior has some serious mental instability, if anything happens that may affect him badly, or something doesn't go his way, he will react in a very unhinged and insane way. (Seen mostly in Bowser Junior's Punishment, Bowser Junior's Flu Shot, and Bowser Junior Goes to Military School mostly shown in part 2, with his Flu Shot being the most unreasonable and his Military School being the most reasonable.) This mental instability was confirmed when it was revealed that he has ADHD, explaining why he is so reckless and forgetful.
In Loch Ness Monster, Junior made fun of Cody's mom, and when Cody finally decided to talk back at him, his reaction was bursting into tears. This reveals that Junior is an enormous hypocrite for making fun of someone Cody knows and loves when he can't even avoid bursting into tears when someone he doesn't even know is made fun of. However, considering the fact that Junior doesn't know his mom, it's not entirely his fault.
However, despite all of this, even Junior is capable of genuine kindness, the shining example of this is when he felt bad for Chef Pee Pee's suffering on his birthday, and as an apology, threw a surprise birthday party for him, with Joseph and Cody's help! He even apologizes for treating Chef Pee Pee badly for the entire time they've known each other (although, thanks to the new status quo, this is rendered redundant via negative continuity).
Despite being a generally clueless character, he has shown to act smart on some occasions such as "Bowser Junior's 1st Grade! Part 5" where he states that blue stars are hotter than red stars, in "Cool Cody!" where Bowser Junior figures out how to change Cody back to normal, in "Bowser Junior's Bad Luck!" he states that superstitions are not real and that all the bad luck he was getting were coincidences. However, he was revealed to believe in lucky pennies, demonstrating his hypocrisy.
In "Bowser Junior's Piggy Bank!", he knows how to stop his dad from getting arrested without getting himself in trouble and in "BroKEN" where he has the idea to put the one-piece tuxedo on Ken and give it to Cody, so he stops crying. Along with Joseph, Bowser Junior keeps trying to prove to Cody that Ken is a doll and that the Sun is a planet (although he no longer seems to argue this after "Bowser Junior Goes To The Sun! "). When SML did a twisted parody of Home Alone, he also used a bowling ball, a trail of Cheez-It, an oven, a golden watch, and an electrified doorknob as a trap to kill 3 robbers (1 survived but was imprisoned).
In late 2016/early 2017, He didn't act very bratty anymore, as he improved from military school. He's also simply grown up over the past few years, as he was just 4 in his first modern appearance. Despite this, however, Bowser Junior’s brattiness returns at the beginning of "Bowser Junior's 9th Birthday!" where his father punished him for destroying his flat-screen TV but the best example of this is in "Bowser's Christmas Problem" where Bowser explained to him that Santa Claus isn't real though this was never spoken of him again. Starting from Season 9 and Onwards, He has retired from being a brat, he became more mature, better Koopa-being. He and Joseph both think the sun is a planet because of its spherical shape, and that actual stars are pointy.
As of late 2019, Junior has reverted back to his bossy and ignorant nature. This was evident in The School Project when he makes up excuses to make Cody seem more guilty when he accidentally destroyed his helicopter and takes revenge by destroying his project. He also likes to accuse Cody for poor reasons such as assuming he forgot about his birthday in Bowser Junior's 21st Birthday and decides to threaten Cody in Bowser Junior's Revenge. He also has a habit of confusing simple English such as thinking the word "Birthday" is actually 2 words.
Ever since 2020, Junior has shown to be far more ignorant, mean and malicious as of recent videos. In Cody's New Friend! Junior decided to get Cody's terminally sick friend Luke Emia arrested just to get Cody to hang out with him again. On top of that, Junior has completely forgotten the concept of cancer and death and thinks dying means going to space. In Junior’s iPad! Junior has also shown heartless behavior as when Brooklyn T. Guy made up a story about a dying kid who was born of with no legs and only one arm that has no lungs and has to breathe through a machine and Junior simply responded with "sucks to suck." Even though the story was made up, this heavily implies that Junior no longer cares about anyone but himself, which is a major downgrade from his 2016-2019 self. This is later shown in Junior Goes To Legoland! where he constantly physically abuses Cody, forces Cody to snitch on Penelope so he can blackmail her, gets his friends injured and takes no responsibility. Also, in Jeffy's Pool Party, he has also been revealed to be a lot more hypocritical than before because he and Joseph tell Cody that they are not comfortable with their bodies, and yet, they keep making fun of his mom's body, which, even though is very likely just an excuse that SML creators used since there are no shirtless versions of Junior and Joseph, can only mean that he and Joseph have become far bigger hypocrites than ever before. Junior has also been revealed to have clichédly sexist thoughts (i.g thinking that girls are dumb and can't be surgeons). In more recent videos, Junior has become more of a sadistic sociopath who constantly tortures Cody. Even as of Junior's Karma, he has become so heartless to the point where he no longer cares about people with disabilities and acts like a jerk towards them, with the exception of Jeffy.

==History==
Bowser Junior was born on September 28, 2008, to Shelby and Bowser in Ferry Pass, Florida.
When Bowser Junior was born, he started as an evil baby who burnt Mario and kidnapped Peach until Black Yoshi wounded him. Following the end of MLSDA, Bowser started dating Shelby, but she would later leave him, leaving Bowser Junior with no mother. Bowser would always choke his son with cotton balls, causing his fears of it. 
In "Bowser Junior Needs Glasses!" Junior wore glasses and his friend's made fun of him so he read a medical book and got smarter and thinks he's smarter than everyone.
In "Bowser Junior's Flu Shot!" Junior was scarred after he got his flu shot and was on a wheelchair and wore a cast on his leg where he got his flu shot and claims to have been "shot" by Brooklyn Guy.
And in "Bowser Junior's Cookies!" He left a sticky note which had cookies written on the fridge and was hoping for Chef Pee Pee to get him cookies, but Chef Pee Pee said that he didn't see it and Junior kept repeating he didn't see it and placed sticky notes all over the house and the car. It's also noted that Junior doesn't have a sense of empathy because he told Joseph to stop crying over his “dead” mom in "Bowser Junior Sneaks Into A Movie!
On several occasions, he is found to racially prejudice black people. This is evident in "Black Yoshi's Job" (Black Yoshi is asked to babysit Junior while Bowser and Chef Pee Pee go to the hospital) when Junior is surprised to see Black Yoshi walk up to him while he is playing with his dinosaurs. Junior cries, "Oh my god! Black Guy! Don't take my money! Protect me, dinosaurs!" Black Yoshi then asks, "Why is everyone in this house so racist?"
There is another occasion in "Bowser Junior's 6th Birthday" after he opens the door to let Cody and his family inside, not expecting Cody to have a black step-father.
Junior is also known for sharing fake stories. For example, in "Bowser Junior's Flu Shot!", He explains to Joseph and Cody that a guy came in with a gun, shot Bowser and Chef Pee Pee, and getting shot in the knee.
Also, in "No Crust!", he explains to the Brooklyn Guy that Chef Pee Pee used a chainsaw to "kill" his sandwich, in reality, all he did was cut the crust. In "Chef Pee Pee The Octopus!", he falsely said Chef Pee Pee wants to be an octopus. In the video "Loch Ness Monster!" Junior showed a fake video and lied about it for a while. Though he did owe up to it in the end.
He has made extremely poor choices on more than one occasion such as in Bowser Junior gets Rabies and Bowser Junior's Doll like trying to pet a rabid squirrel and trying to throw water bombs in the house respectively and lacks common sense which leads to him being half dumb.
He is also addicted to Doofy The Dragon, similar to his Dad's TV addiction to Charleyyy and Friends, though to a much lesser extent.
However, despite all of this, even Junior is capable of genuine kindness, the shining example of this is when he felt bad for Chef Pee Pee's suffering on his birthday, and as an apology, threw a surprise birthday party for him, with Joseph and Cody's help! He even apologizes for treating Chef Pee Pee badly for the entire time they've known each other (although, thanks to the new status quo, this is rendered redundant via negative continuity).
Despite being a generally dumb character, he has shown to act smart on some occasions such as "Bowser Junior's 1st Grade! Part 5" where he states that blue stars are hotter than red stars, in "Cool Cody!" where Bowser Junior figures out how to change Cody back to normal, in "Bowser Junior's Bad Luck!" he states that superstitions are not real and that all the bad luck he was getting were coincidences.
==Pets==
===Crusty===
Crusty was 's pet from Bowser Junior's Pet!. In a swim-off with Cody's pet rock, the water makes Crusty deformed and therefore "killing" it.
=== Stinky===
Stinky was Junior's pet that replaced Crusty in Bowser Junior's Pet!. It was a bad idea however, because he sprays Joseph and Cody. He later gets beaten to death by Bowser.
=== Terrance===
Terrance was named the way he is because it was like "Terrance-ula." He made his first appearance in The Tarantula!. 
===Wormy===
Wormy was Junior’s pet from Jeffy's Pet!. Junior thought he was a worm when he was really a snake.
===Chompy===
Chompy was Junior’s pet from Bowser Junior's Dog!. Sometimes Junior takes care of him, sometimes he doesn’t. But Junior still loves him. And he’s sad upon learning that Chef Pee Pee let him run away in Precious the Rapper!. Chompy didn’t return after that, and because of the Cease and Desist, he is highly unlikely to come back.
===Orange Zebra ===
Orange Zebra was Junior’s pet from Jeffy's Pet Tiger!.
==Children==
Please note that these children were given away.
===Junior Junior ===
Junior Junior, or JJ for short, was created thanks to Cody’s BBBaby Machine in Chef Pee Pee's Kids. He had Chef Pee Pee’s head and Junior’s body. He was created along with Chaz who had Chef Pee Pee’s head and Cody’s body. However, they were given away because Junior and Cody were too young to have kids.
===Jeffy Junior II ===
Jeffy Junior II was created thanks to Harry's impregnator. He was a hybrid of Jeffy and Junior. However, he destroyed Junior’s Golden Thomas and Jeffy’s cat piano. Jeffy Junior II was later sold to Jackie Chu.
==Relationships==
===Chef Pee Pee===
In earlier videos, Bowser Junior always annoyed Chef Pee Pee with his requests, making Chef Pee Pee hate him. Because of this, every time when Junior is about to do something that could be dangerous in some way. In later videos, he would stop bothering Chef Pee Pee and asking him for things, even though Chef Pee Pee still hates him.
Chef Pee Pee, similar to his hopes and dreams of killing Bowser, sometimes hopes he kills Junior in the process, but sadly for Chef Pee Pee, this never happens. He also annoys him by regularly asking to play toys with him. Junior loves spending time with Chef Pee Pee but he never showed love back to Junior, there are rare occasions where Chef Pee Pee is nice to Junior, such as at the end of Bowser Junior's Big Vacation!, taking him to Disney World without so much as a complaint. For some reason, he is not angry or insulted from Chef Pee Pee calling him a Brat/Idiot/Slut.
In the SML Movie “Bowser Junior’s Doll!”, Junior has made a better hatred for Chef Pee because he thinks that he is a snitch. When Chef Pee Pee goes to Junior's room while wearing disguises, He said “Nah, it’s just me n**ga!” and leaves his room in laughter much to Junior's Fury. As Chef Pee Pee gives Junior a bowl of macaroni and cheese, he was tricking him to give him macaroni and cheese much to Junior's Fury. As Junior has had enough with Chef Pee Pee for pranking him, He gets the voodoo doll and thinks that the voodoo doll is Chef Pee Pee and begins to hit it and send it off to space along with Chef Pee Pee being send off to Space. As Junior tries to apologize to Chef Pee Pee for his selfish behavior, he was wondering where he is. As Chef Pee Pee was suffocating to death in space, He yells to Junior's name.
In "Bowser Junior's New Room!", Junior is now Chef Pee Pee's roommate, much to the despair and annoyance of the latter, yet to the pleasure do the former because Junior's old room was taken over by his father as punishment for eating his strawberry donut and sneaking out of his room. After Junior says he loves him, Chef Pee Pee mutters the same, yet does not say it directly to Junior.
As of "Bowser Junior's Prank Gone Wrong!", it's safe to say that Junior has lost every form of respect toward Chef Pee Pee, making him deaf and wishing he never existed. It's also clear that Junior is very hypocritical towards Chef Pee Pee as when the latter has shown to care for him such as in "Bowser Junior's Rat Problem", Junior never seems to return the favor.
As of now, he is now being handled for his antics by Chef Pee Pee.
