Bowser's BROTHER: The character Nintendo forgot about

fun fact: this channel is actually run by my secret brother. I don't even know how to use a computer.

If Bowser's brother is canon in the Mario universe, then there should be another game called Super Bowser Bros.

I vote we call him Blueser

"His true identity is unknown..." Thanks for clearing that up Nintendo, you brave company.

This character is Bowser's younger brother, but he's the opposite of Luigi: brave on the outside and a scaredy-cat on the inside. He gave up the first few times Mario kicked his butt, which is why the third turns into a Spiny, and has stayed far away from his big bro's plans ever since. Whether he's a big chicken or actually smart, I'll leave up to you.

There's a LOT of characters Nintendo 'just kinda forgot' about...

I like to imagine Bowser's brother just lives his own normal life somewhere outside the Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser just asked him for some extra help in Lost Levels

Well if Bowser's full name as we know it is Bowser Koopa and assuming the Koopalings are Bowser's adoptive children that he named, is it possible that Morton Koopa Jr was named after this blue Bowser? Aside from Bowser's only real son, this is the only one with Jr in his name. Maybe Mario had defeated Bowser's brother for good in Mario 2, and Bowser named a Koopaling in honor of him?

Two notes:
1) The Koopalings were related to Bowser in 90s Nintendo canon. They changed that position sometime before Bowser Jr. was introduced.
2) There’s a blue bowser in SNES Yoshi’s Cookie if you play hard mode, but he has an orange shell. Is it him???

I just realized; people hate it in horror games/movies when there’s explanations behind what’s supposed to be scary, thus detracting from the fear of the unknown. In the Super Mario universe, which is on the opposite spectrum of scary, absolutely nothing is explained, thus the Mario universe embraces the fear of the unknown better than most horror properties.

Imagine if Blue Bowser was a very extreme case of Luigi syndrome

He's so hidden under his older brother's shadow that people don't even know he even exists lol

It's so sad how bowser's brother is just referred to as that, instead of an actual name. Got to feel bad for the guy

In my headcanon, the blue Bowser turned into Dry Bowser (as a separate character from Bowser Dry Bowser) after being defeated in Lost Levels. I mean, he fell into lava just like Bowser when he turned into (Bowser)Dry Bowser and then we now have a different unique Dry Bowser that even has a statue in seemingly ancient Bone-Dry Ruins, so why not?

About the time discrepancy in blue Bowser becoming Dry Bowser in Lost Levels and then having a statue in ancient ruins, remember how 1-1 was in Brawl's Mushroomy Kingdom.

It would be nice to see him make an appearance in a main line game

I found out about him like 2 years ago and have been a fan of bowser’s brother ever since

So Bower essentially had his own "Luigi"

This actually.....makes sense. Ignore everything that came out after Japanese Mario 2, and Mario and Luigi are color swapped twins. It would be kind of consistent for Bowser to have a color-swapped twin as well. Mario Bros. Vs. Bowser Bros.

i can’t believe this, bowser’s brother merely enables his evil habits. 😔

This ‘Bowser Brother’ may actually have a name, if we believe Miyamoto saying the Koopalings aren’t Bowser’s kids. At least one might the child of this Brother. Morton Koopa Junior. If we go for quite a stretch this Blue Bowser may just be Morton Koopa Senior.

Because Bowser said that he has 7 childs in smb3 and because Miamoto meant, it's not true, the Koopalings have to bee adopted. But adopted kids are part of a family, so the koopalings are part of Bowsers family.
