Bowser Jr. wears a white bib where there's a drawing of fangs resembling his father's mouth. In his first appearance his bandanna is blue and has a drawing of Mario's face. He wears are gray metal cuffs around his hands that have spikes in certain games.

His trophy cutscene begins with Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and a Yellow Toad interacting when they suddenly hear a cackle.

===Trophy descriptions===
==== G-Tanooki's main in Smash Ultimate/Smash 3DS/ Wii U ====
"Bowser's son, who appears in Super Mario Sunshine calling Princess Peach his mother--he feels so strongly about her that he kidnaps her. Somewhat spoiled by his father, Bowser Jr. comes off as being on the selfish side. His bib is decorated with drawn-on fangs and worn like a mask--it's most likely an effort to appear more menacing."
==== Super Smash Bros. for 3DS / Wii U ====
"Bowser's beloved, spoiled son sports a bandanna with a large mouth drawn on it. Like his father, Bowser Jr. longs to take Mario down. In Smash Bros., he'll fight from inside his heavily armed Junior Clown Car. The Clown Car takes less damage than Bowser Jr., so mind your positioning."
==== Super Smash Bros. for 3DS / Wii U Alt ====
"The Clown Kart Dash special move turns the Junior Clown Car into a kart. If you change direction while driving it, it'll spin and do more damage. When you use his up special, Bowser Jr. leaps from his Junior Clown Car, dropping it on the foes below."
== Origins ==
Bowser Jr.'s origin is as yet unknown - while the genesis of Bowser's other children has been hinted at, Junior appeared as if from nowhere. In his first appearance, his father told him Peach was his mother, which was later proved false. He is the spitting image of Baby Bowser, except the latter doesn't wear a bib. Junior's bib has scribbled on fake teeth, as if to match his father's fierce grin. Junior appears in many games to have his magic paintbrush, which was introduced in his first game, Super Mario Sunshine. Not many fans were initially fond of Bowser Jr, as he overshadowed the Koopalings. However, many began to not mind him as much, as the seven were seen alongside him in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
