### Type of Hero

On & Off Arrogant Monarch

**Bowser Jr.** is the secondary antagonist of the *Mario* franchise. He is Bowser's son from an unknown mother that always helps Bowser in his evil schemes. Although normally a villain, like his father Bowser, he will sometimes team up with Mario and Luigi against bigger foes.

## His Good Ranking

### His Heroic Deeds

* Even in his villainous roles he has a very strong bond with Bowser and always acts friendly towards his enemies.
* He always wants to impress his dad. Examples of this include fighting against him in *Mario Party: Island Tour* and defeating his own forces with the help of other Koopalings in *Mario & Luigi: Bowser Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.*
* When he's not doing evil, he tags along with Mario and his gang for sports and racing even being a good sport.
* He convinced Bowser to join the festival at the end of Mario Super Sluggers.
* In *Mario Part DS,* he and Bowser make peace with their foes and play Triangle Twister Together.
* He will always give the player their stars if you beat him in *Mario Party 9* minigames.
* In the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls guide, Bowser Jr. always shut off his switch when time is up. It's also confirmed in *Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom of the battle* that he takes responsibility of other chores too such as his homework.
* In *Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle,* when the MegaBug fuses with Bowser he gets the heroes to help him free his father.
* In *Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury,* with the help of his nemesis Mario, he saves Luke Lapcat from Fury Bowser and turns him back to normal.
* In *Dr. Mario World,* he helps Mario, Bowser and Peach cure the viruses across the Mushroom Kingdom.

### Why He Doesn't Stand Out?

* He fails the admirable standard compared to Yoshi (who already fails the standards himself), Donkey Kong, Wario and Bowser since they have less resources than him and still have done a lot more heroic deeds than him.
* His best act revolves around turning Bowser and Lake Lapcat back to normal, which suffers from fridge brilliance since it’s not shown how many people Fury Bowser endangered or if Bowser was in a fate worse than death.
	+ Not to mention, this was self-serving since he only did this to save his dad and not for the well-being of Lake Lapcat in general.
* He also fails the individual capability since he has a full army at his disposal but he does not use them to do enough heroic deeds.
* Just like Bowser, he is On & Off as he is normally a villain.
* He helps Bowser kidnap Peach and tries to kill Mario numerous times.
* He has many moments where he acts spoiled and bratty due to being raised as the prince of the Koopa Kingdom.
	+ He throws unnecessary tantrums and lashes out at other people if he faced failures.
	+ He is an egotist because he believes to be the best and will always resort to cheating towards his advantage.
	+ He acts like a jerk towards Larry by rudely telling him to get off the floor and try to save Bowser from being crushed by his own castle.
* He is mischievous since he played a prank on Bowser by painting him, which was what made him turn into Fury Bowser.
* He intends to use Spawny abilities to create Rabbid copies of the Mushroom Kingdom characters to create an army to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom to impress his father after returning to his vacation.
