Davidk92Posted 12/29/2012 12:42:52 PM | I mean, in most of the games recently Bowser doesn't actually do much. It's always Junior who annoys and antagonizes Mario through the game while Bowser just hangs out at the end level to be a final boss.
At first it made sense, since y'know, Bowser's obviously busy with other things and is sending his minions out. But in this game... Junior is the one piloting Bowser's Airship. Junior is the one with Koopa Clown Car (Bowser's is nowhere to be seen). Junior has mutliple boss fights. Junior's face is plastered all over the towers and castles. And most frustrating off all, right before the final boss fight, Peach is sealed in her tower by a stone wall with JUNIOR's face on it.
Does anyone else feel that Nintendo seem to be forgetting WHO the main villain actually is? Junior was actually running the Koopa Troop back in NSMB thanks to Bowser's death, and even then he didn't have his face plastered everywhere. --- "The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you can't do." ~Walter Bagehot |

The NSMB games, Galaxy 1, and even Sticker Star feature them both as prominent threats during the adventure, but Bowser as always shows his face less frequently before the final battle. It's not like Bowser really showed up before the final battle in older Mario games, though. Just the 3D platformers. |
Smasher345Posted 12/29/2012 1:16:22 PM | Bowser Jr.'s important roles in the games is why I fully support him for Smash Bros. He is the main antagonist of Super Mario Sunshine and New Super Mario Bros. He is also a major antagonist in the Galaxy games as well as New Super Mario Bros. U. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the game where I think he plays the least important role but still a bit important nonetheless. He is just as equal to the Koopalings in that game. He is Bowser's son and Bowser is able to let him do stuff for him that's why Junior does a lot of things for the many games while Bowser sits back as the final boss. Bowser Jr. is second-in-command of the Koopa Troop, being ranked higher than Kamek and the Koopalings. I think Nintendo is just making him a major antagonist and basically give him the role of being Bowser's sidekick, not necessarily the main villain. |
