## Lore

**Bowser Jr.** is the son of Bowser, and the next heir to Koopa Clan's throne. He was born 10 years after Bowser's first defeat, with his mother being missing after his birth. Bowser Jr. grew with his father, as Bowser worked on his evil schemes, Bowser also spent time with him, teaching him the ways to become an evil Koopa. As the young Koopaling was inspired from his father's attempts, but he was feeling sad as his father's plans always backfired by the works of two plumber bros.

When Bowser Jr. turned 8 years old, Bowser thought it was time to make him a part of his schemes. The young Koopaling stole **a magic paintbrush from a man in white coat**, and was sent to Isle Delfino, after learning that Mario and Princess Peach will go there for a vacation. Bowser Jr. had caused a great ruckus on the island, as he donned a disguise that looked like Mario, to make him the criminal when he arrived. His plan worked, as Mario was under custody and he had to clean the ink splattered by Bowser Jr, the young koopaling had the chance to kidnap Peach, which Mario prevented a bunch of times, but until he succeed at the end, and took her to Corona Mountain, where Mario faced him and his father, and defeated both in the end.

After his first defeat, Bowser Jr. didn't give up and wanted to defeat Mario. He managed to kidnap Peach after hiring **a Lakitu who possesses thunderous powers** to distract Mario. After his father was melted in the lava, he gathered his skeletal remains and revived his father for another dual battle, only to be defeated yet again.

And since then, Bowser Jr. works with his father and his siblings to finally get a chance to defeat Mario and Luigi once and for all, mainly partaking in small invasions from airships or tank forces he commands in certain places. But from his ambition, it's obvious that he'll grow to be the Koopa King just like his father is someday.
