Koopa Kid (Mario Party)

Koopa Kids (also known as Baby Bowsers, or in European countries Mini Bowsers, not to be confused with Baby Bowser) are minions of Bowser. Just like with Yoshi and Toad, there is one character, with a species of look-alikes. They are similar in appearance to both Baby Bowser and Bowser Jr..
Koopa Kids have seemingly been removed from the Mario Party series starting in Mario Party 8, likely in favor of Bowser Jr., who appears in Mario Party DS onward. However, they still appear in a plethora of fan material.
==Personality==
The Koopa Kids serve Bowser in the Mario Party series and appear to be behind some of the mini games, suggesting they have technical skill across the board. Earlier games suggested a son and father relationship between Koopa Kid and Bowser, however this quickly was retconned in later games to be just a henchman relationship.
In Super Mario: Elemental Journey, it is re-established that Koopa Kid is a modified DNA clone of Bowser, who Bowser used as a son figure until Bowser Jr. entered his life. Koopa Kid was then abandoned by Bowser after he had Bowser Jr.. Since then, Koopa Kid has been searching for his purpose and found it in becoming a hero like Mario and his friends. It is hinted he has a precocious crush on Cosmetta, although has moved past it in recent appearances.

====Game's Description====
The Koopa Kid, are the grandchildren of Bowser, they're ready for the win and destroy everything with their Ladybug-Machines.
===Lets-a-go, Mario===
Koopa Kids make their first platformer appearance in Lets-a-go, Mario as regular enemies. Normally, they will just act as Bowser did in Super Mario Bros. except with a lot more speed and without hammers. Also, they can be stomped. However, sometimes, a Koopa Kid will split into three when the player gets near, with one red, one blue, and one green. The red one will chase the player relentlessly, the green one will stand still and breathe fire, and the blue one will jump around aimlessly.
As in Mario Party Advance, there can be 99 of them on the screen at once.
===Super Mario: Elemental Journey===
Koopa Kid used to be Bowser's son figure until Bowser Jr. came into the picture and he was seemingly forgotten about. Koopa Kid now wants to be a hero and help Mario and his friends.
After a long absence, Koopa Kid returns in Super Mario: Elemental Journey as a secret unlockable character. When the player defeats the Earth Baron, Nega Slantio, Koopa Kid becomes playable. Koopa Kid can breathe fire for a short amount of time before burning out and his ground stomps have a larger radius. He is surprisingly kind of fast but a lot of his moves reset his momentum.
===Mario Kart: V² Circuit===
Koopa Kid appears as a starting racer in Mario Kart: V² Circuit. He is a lightweight with a small size. He has good speed, poor acceleration, slightly above average handling and slightly above good traction.
===Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle===
Koopa Kid is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle via a palette swap of Bowser Jr. Koopa Kid, like the other characters switching out for Bowser Jr., has three of his palette swaps, being the Red, Green, and Blue Koopa Kids from the Mario Party games.
Much like Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Boom-Boom, and Pom-Pom, Koopa Kid is encountered via several mid-boss battles in The Elemental Labyrinth. His role is unknown at the moment.
===Super Mario Maker Cloud===
Koopa Kid appears as a boss option. He primarily throws toy hammers, which bounce along the ground in a few arcs before stopping. In the SMB1 style they will simply disappear afterwards, but in other styles they can be picked up and thrown back at Koopa Kid. In between toy hammer throws, he spits a yellow fireball that curves straight down in front of him. He takes three stomps or ten elemental projectiles to defeat, with a hit from a toy hammer counting as a stomp. He shares a placement limit with Bowser Jr. - up to ten of them can be placed.
=== Koopa Kart series ===
Koopa Kid appears in the Koopa Kart series in every game starting from Koopa Kart 64, along with Lakitu. He is a middleweight driver in every game he appears in. In Koopa Kart: Double Trouble!!, his partner is Sumo Kong, and their special item is the Giant Banana.
==Relationships==
===Bowser===
Used to be regarded as a son by Bowser, however this seemed like less and less the actual case. As he made more appearances, he was regarded to as a henchmen before being entirely forgotten. In Super Mario: Elemental Journey he was revealed to be a DNA son of Bowser, which explains more or less how there came to be so many clones of him. Also in said game, Koopa Kid becomes a hero to seemingly spite Bowser.
===Bowser Jr.===
Barely knows him but hates his guts for replacing him.
===Mario===
Looks up to him and his friends as an example of how to become a hero. In Super Mario: Elemental Journey, Koopa Kid attempts to copy a lot of his and Cosmetta's poses.
===Cosmetta===
Koopa Kid had a precarious crush on Cosmetta that has since faded after the events of Super Mario: Elemental Journey. He acts as a friend now, as both of them come from "evil" backgrounds but have since become more heroic and are both looking for their bigger purpose now that their evil past is behind them.
