Baby Bowser

This article refers to Bowser in his infant form. For similar characters, see Bowser Jr. and Koopa Kid.
Baby Bowser (Japanese: ベビィクッパ Baby Koopa), also sometimes referred to as Bowsie, is the infant form of Bowser, who primarily appears as the main antagonist in the Yoshi titles. While it is unknown whether Baby Bowser has any parents, he is often shown to be in the care of Kamek, who appears to act as a surrogate parent in their absence; despite the Magikoopa taking care of the young Koopa, Baby Bowser often bullies him whenever his plans go awry.
Baby Bowser's appearance is near-identical to that of his future son, Bowser Jr. Though extremely similar however, the two do have slight differences that can be used to tell them apart: the most notable of which is that Baby Bowser often does not wear a bandana around his neck, and on the rare occasions that he does, his does not have a mouth printed on it like Bowser Jr.'s does. Additionally, in some of Baby Bowser's earlier appearances, he lacked any horns and had darker scales covering his body.
In the Koopa series, he is given drastic changes to make it easier to tell him apart from Bowser Jr; he wears a black bandana, has two long teeth as opposed to one short tooth, has red eyes, is given a pair of horns, and wears wristbands with four large spikes on each.

He took the dark Yoshi to a prison beneath his castle, where he interrogates him about why the Yoshis hate the Koopas. Usura gave him a blunt answer: the Koopas are tyrants and the ones responsible for the chaos inflicting Yoshi's Island.
When fought in the Koopa Castle, he attacks Yoshi by throwing bombs and various other items at him. After Yoshi defeats him, he flees to the roof and summons a giant Koopa Troopa to his side: Hookbill Koopa.
During the game's climax, Baby Bowser stands before the room of his father and hears him calling the Yoshis weaklings, and fought Yoshi after his father's speech.
