Baby Bowser is an antagonist in the Mario videogame series and made his first appearance in the 1995 game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the SNES. He is a version of Bowser in his youth and is not to be confused with Bowser Jr., who in turn is Bowser's only child.

Characteristics

All of Bowser's defining characteristics were already present in his baby form, albeit in a much less threatening way. At this young age, Baby Bowser was more of a bratty and spoiled child than an actual villain and the main motivations behind his actions are either self-preservation or just a general attempt to cause mischief.

History

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Kamek's actions in this game were driven by a prediction of Baby Bowser's future, where he saw that Mario and Luigi will defeat him in many of his future endeavours (which became true on countless occasions). Baby Bowser makes his first physical appearance as the final boss of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Appearing at the end of his castle as Kamek demands Yoshi to hand Baby Mario to him, Baby Bowser complains at the current noise, crushes and throws Kamek aside, and demands to ride the "gween donkey." His first battle has him use a ground-pound to make shockwaves, and he can jump on Yoshi's back if Baby Mario is thrown off. After the tiny tyrant is beaten, Kamek uses his magic to make him grow to a gigantic size.

The second phase begins in what remains of his room. The now massive tyke sends down debris to destroy part of the floor, breathes fireballs, and stomps his way to Yoshi. If Baby Bowser gets too close to Yoshi, he destroys the ground, sealing Yoshi's face. The player must get the large eggs the Baron Von Zepplin's carry to throw at Baby Bowser. After this in done enough times, he returns to his normal size and is defeated. Scooping up the young ruler, Kamek swears revenge on Yoshi, as Yoshi gets to the stork to deliver Baby Mario to him.

Yoshi's Story

In this game, Baby Bowser swipes the Super Happy Tree to rob the land of joy and turns the island into a pop-up book. At the end of their journey, they find Baby Bowser in his castle, challenging the Yoshi's to a duel. In the battle, Yoshi must shoot Bob-ombs at Baby Bowser as he rides him. In the second part of the battle, Baby Bowser attacks by shooting fireballs, throwing bombs, and making shock-waves. After several more hits, the young tyrant surrenders, weeping as he's carried back by his Toadies and saying that the fruit didn't taste good regardless.

Yoshi's Island DS

In Yoshi's Island DS, Baby Bowser is relaxing in his fortress when his adult version warps in, wanting to steal the star children to control the universe. Stolen by the future version of Kamek, Baby Bowser gets kicked out for insulting his older self.

In the fall, he vows vengeance and shouts that both versions are the same, to no avail. Noticing Baby Mario, he tells him he saw his brother in Bowser's Castle. After this, he teams up with Yoshi for the world to "kick some major enemy butt, of course!" With Baby Bowser, Yoshi trades his ability to swallow his foes for having Baby Bowser being able to spit fire, defeating his foes and melting ice. He leaves whenBig Guy the Stilted is defeated, and tries to hitchhike on Future Kamek's broom, only to fall from a weak grip.

Later, he rejoins Yoshi's party with Baby Bowser later rejoins Yoshi's group with Baby Wario, but betrays the group when they get to Bowser's Castle, thinking they want his treasure. After a small fight, a defeated Baby Bowser is carried back by Kamek. After Bowser is defeated, Baby Bowser falls on a large collection of money, fighting over it with Wario.

Yoshi's New Island

Baby Bowser returns in this game after not being seen for 7 years, wanting to turn Egg Island into a resort. At the end of the game, a similar scene of him awakening from slumber and fighting Yoshi begins, with him turning giant after. After he is beaten, his future self reappears, making Yoshi defeat him.

Yoshi's Woolly World

In this game, Baby Bowser wants to have enough yarn to make himself a castle. In this battle, Yoshi must attack Baby Bowser by throwing a yarn ball at him and then ground-pounding him. After the first phase, Kamek makes him a giant using the Wonder Wool. In this phase, Yoshi must unravel giant yarn balls to get smaller yarn balls to throw at eight weak-points, shown as magenta Wonder Wools on Baby Bowser's body. After this, Baby Bowser is taken back by Kamek to the moon, before Kamek is scared by Poochy, causing him to drop the tyke.

Yoshi's Crafted World

Baby Bowser and Kamek are once more the main antagonists in Yoshi's Crafted World. In this game, he steals the Sundream Stone with Kamek, wanting to find the five Dream Gems from it. However, Baby Bowser joins Kamek in the quest, dismantling the train in the first level and making the bosses. He is also the final boss of the game, with his phases being inside a large robot and then growing to a large size once more.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Baby Bowser currently makes his only appearance in the Mario & Luigi series in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. First appearing to trying to snatch Baby Peach, only to be defeated by the Baby Brothers. However, Shroobs attack Peach's Castle immediately after this, causing them to flee on Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser. There, he gets a message from Princess Shroob, who destroys the Koopa Cruise, the young tyrant flying into his fortress. Tracking down both versions to the Vim Factory, he steals two Cobalt Star Shards, one being originally from his castle.

Later, he flies to Yoshi's Island with Kamek, where he chokes on Yoshi Cookies. After heading to the other side of the peak of the mountain he is on, the Baby Brothers devour the Yoshi Cookies, much to Baby Bowser's fury. Running off, he later devours the Cobalt Star Shards as revenge, before all parties being ironically eaten by Yoob. Inside the beast, Baby Bowser is put inside a Yoob Egg. After the brothers defeat Sunnycide, Baby Bowser is freed with the other Yoshis.

Back on the island, he lies about the scenario, saying that he was the one who saved them. Accepting this, the Yoshi's give him all their cookies. As the Mario Bros. and Toadbert inform them about the truth, Baby Bowser gets sick, upchucking the Cobalt Star Shards.

On Thwomp Island, he meets his future self once more, teaming up after a small argument. After being defeated by the Mario Bros, they are thrown upwards by a Thwomp Elevator, Baby Bowser landing on the Shroob Mothership.

He then returns after Princess Shroob is defeated, and although he is warned, he puts together the Cobalt Star Shards, freeing Elder Princess Shroob, who turns him into a Shroob Mushroom. After defeating the alien monarch, Baby Bowser is freed, and he goes back to his own time.

Other Appearances

Super Smash Bros.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Baby Bowser appears as a Trophy. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Baby Bowser appears as a legendary neutral-type primary spirit. His spirit battle is a Stamina battle against a tiny Bowser on the Omega form of the Find Mii stage covered in a lava floor. Once defeated, a giant Bowser appears with super armor.

Powers and Abilities

Most of Bowser's defining abilities (namely the strength and fire-breath) are already apparent in Baby Bowser although in a much less developed way. However, with the help of his primary Magikoopa, Kamek, he is able to greatly enhance both his size and abilities. Of all the baby versions of the Mario series characters, he seems to be the most developed and is more of a small child than an actual baby. He was also already commanding a large number of minions, despite his young age.

Final boss- Super Mario world 2 Yoshi's Island

Yoshi's Story - Final Boss and Ending

Trivia

Along with Baby Wario, he is the only baby from Yoshi's Island DS absent from Mario Super Sluggers.
Baby Bowser is the only boss to be fought at one point without being enhanced by Kamek, the other being Prince Froggy.
His official artwork in Yoshi's Island DS has him on the back of a Yellow Yoshi, which is impossible, as where the Yellow Yoshi's are only found in forts, Baby Bowser is never found in there.
Baby Bowser is the only baby who isn't voiced by his voice actor for his adult counterpart.
The fight with Baby Bowser in Yoshi's Island after he transformed was known for frightening a lot of young children given the boss fight's surprisingly serious and suspenseful tone, final bosses in Yoshi games have notably lightened up to prevent this from happening again.

In addition, if Baby Mario is knocked off of Yoshi's back, Baby Bowser climbs onto his back instead. If Baby Mario is saved afterward, Baby Bowser will be stunned. Baby Bowser can be hit by ground pounding the ground close to him. After Baby Bowser is beaten, Kamek shows up and uses his magic on him, causing him to grow into the kaiju-like Big Baby Bowser, destroying his castle in the process.

-The final battle takes place on the remains of the room;  Big Baby Bowser sending debris down to destroy part of the ground at the start of the fight. During the second phase, Big Baby Bowser attacks by breathing fireballs at Yoshi, stomping towards him from the background. If Big Baby Bowser gets too close to Yoshi, the ground is destroyed, defeating Yoshi. The player must grab the Giant Eggs that the Baron Von Zepplins carry onto the stage, and throw them at Big Baby Bowser to knock him back. After enough hits, he simply charges forward, and after seven hits, he is defeated, returns to normal size, and is knocked out. Afterward, Kamek reappears and vows revenge before flying off with Baby Bowser. Yoshi then sprints up to the Stork and Baby Luigi, freeing them both and allowing the Stork to deliver the babies to their parents.

 ===''Yoshi's Story''===
-Baby Bowser returns in Yoshi's Story, stealing the Super Happy Tree to drain all happiness from Yoshi's Island and turns the entire island into a pop-up book. After some adventuring, the Baby Yoshis find Baby Bowser in his castle, as one of them duels him to reclaim the Super Happy Tree. The Player has to hit Baby Bowser with Bob-ombs while the prince is riding his "pet" and knock him off. He then recites a "poem" about how he's the king, intends to destroy Baby Yoshi, and demands the latter say goodbye. The battle is then on the ground, where Baby Bowser shoots fireballs, throws bombs, and sends shock-waves, where Yoshi has to hit him a few more times to best him.  After being beaten, Bowser surrenders, allowing the baby Yoshis to have the Super Happy Tree back. He rationalizes that the fruit tasted horrible anyway, as he is carried out by his Toadies, sobbing.

 ===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
-In Yoshi's Island DS, Baby Bowser is at his castle when his future self appears out of nowhere, wanting to kidnap the star children to gain control of the universe. Baby Bowser is ironically abducted by the future Kamek from the past Kamek, and brought to Bowser's Castle. When he realizes the circumstances, he insults his grown-up self and his plan, calling him an "old geezer." Angred by Baby Bowser's insults and oblivious to the fact that his younger self is one of the star children, the Koopa King kicks Baby Bowser out of the castle.
+In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', Baby Bowser is relaxing in his fortress when his adult version warps in, wanting to steal the star children to control the universe. Stolen by the future version of Kamek, Baby Bowser gets kicked out for insulting his older self.
-As Baby Bowser plummets, he swears revenge and once he lands, he yells at the sky as a futile attempt to remind his older self that they're the same.  Baby Bowser then notices Baby Mario and tells him he saw Baby Luigi in Bowser's Castle. Baby Bowser then realizes that he has just landed on Yoshi and is stoked to get a ride from him. Baby Bowser is then playable for the remainder of World 4 showing up to "kick some major enemy butt, of course!"  While carrying him, Yoshi can't swallow enemies, but Baby Bowser can spit fireballs, which defeats enemies and melts ice cubes.   Once Big Guy the Stilted is defeated, Baby Bowser leaves Yoshi's group in an attempt to hitch a ride from the future Kamek as he flies off to report to the adult Bowser. However, Baby Bowser loses his grip and falls off of Kamek's broomstick.
+In the fall, he vows vengeance and shouts that both versions are the same, to no avail. Noticing Baby Mario, he tells him he saw his brother in Bowser's Castle.

He leaves when[[ Big Guy the Stilted]] is defeated, and tries to hitchhike on Future Kamek's broom, only to fall from a weak grip.
-Baby Bowser later rejoins Yoshi's group, along with Baby Wario (who he had been fighting with over treasure), when they reach Bowser's Castle. He eventually betrays the other Star Childen, and attacks Yoshi, believing they're after his treasure. After a fight, Yoshi beats the little prince and Kamek takes him away, leaving the group to the future Bowser, who is angry at what Yoshi did to his younger self.  After Bowser is beaten, Baby Bowser falls off Kamek's broom and lands on a huge bag of treasure, now claimed by Baby Wario; another argument between the two young misers inevitably ensues. Presumably, Baby Bowser is taken back by the past Kamek.
+Later, he rejoins Yoshi's party with Baby Bowser later rejoins Yoshi's group with Baby [[Wario]], but betrays the group when they get to Bowser's Castle, thinking they want his treasure. After a small fight, a defeated Baby Bowser is carried back by Kamek. After Bowser is defeated, Baby Bowser falls on a large collection of money, fighting over it with Wario.

-After not being seen for 7 Years, Baby Bowser returns in Yoshi's New Island, once again as the main antagonist alongside Kamek and his older self. In this game, he wants to turn Egg Island into a resort for him, so the Yoshi's go to stop him and rescue Baby Luigi. At the end, the scenario is similar to the original ''Yoshi's Island''. He is once again awaken from his slumber, only to crush and kick Kamek out. He soon notices the "familiar green donkey" and proceeds to try and ride Yoshi again. He is the penultimate boss of the game in a two part battle reminiscent of his battle in ''Super Mario World 2'', though the second part of the battle (where he once again becomes Big Baby Bowser) is more similar to the battle with Giant Bowser in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. After he is defeated, and before the stork and Baby Luigi are rescued, his future self appears out of nowhere, making Yoshi and Baby Mario battle him.
 ===''Yoshi's Woolly World''===
-Baby Bowser is the final boss in Yoshi's Wooly World and is first seen waiting for Kamek to give him enough yarn to make "a big new castle". Then, Yoshi appears and Baby Bowser starts the battle with him. In the fight, Yoshi must throw a yarn ball (provided by one of three red Shy Guys that periodically fall from the top of the screen) at Baby Bowser, then ground-pound him, and repeat this three times to =best Baby Bowser. After Baby Bowser is defeated, Kamek later uses the power of the Wonder Wool to make him transform into Mega Baby Bowser once more. To defeat him, Yoshi must unravel giant yarn balls to get three medium-sized yarn balls each, then throw them at the eight giant, glowing, magenta Wonder Wools circling around Mega Baby Bowser. The game ends when Yoshi successfully defeats Mega Baby Bowser, and the Wonder Wools unravels from him, causing all of the single-color-and-white Yoshis to return back to normal. Afterwards, Baby Bowser is taken away by Kamek, and is last seen near the moon with Kamek carrying him. Poochy then pops out from behind the moon, spooking Kamek and making him accidentally drop Baby Bowser as the game's closing credits begin to roll. Baby Bowser is the only baby character that appears in ''Yoshi's Woolly World''.
+In this game, Baby Bowser wants to have enough yarn to make himself a castle. In this battle, Yoshi must attack Baby Bowser by throwing a yarn ball at him and then ground-pounding him. After the first phase, Kamek makes him a giant using the Wonder Wool. In this phase, Yoshi must unravel giant yarn balls to get smaller yarn balls to throw at eight weak-points, shown as magenta Wonder Wools on Baby Bowser's body. After this, Baby Bowser is taken back by Kamek to the moon, before Kamek is scared by Poochy, causing him to drop the tyke.
+===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
+Baby Bowser and Kamek are once more the main antagonists in ''Yoshi's Crafted World''. In this game, he steals the Sundream Stone with Kamek, wanting to find the five Dream Gems from it.

He is also the final boss of the game, with his phases being inside a large robot and then growing to a large size once more.
-==Other Games==
 ===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
-Baby Bowser's first and only appearance in the ''Mario and Luigi ''series is in ''Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'', where he is the secondary antagonist. He first appears at the beginning of the game, in an attempt to kidnap Baby Peach before Baby Mario and Baby Luigi show up in the nick of time to play with Baby Peach. After Baby Mario defeats him however, Shroobs attack Princess Peach's Castle. Luckily, everyone manages to escape on Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser. On the way to his castle, Baby Bowser picks up Adult Mario and Luigi to get Baby Peach to stop crying. On the Koopa Cruiser, he receives a transmission from Princess Shroob. She tells the crew something in the Shroobs' language and shoots down the Koopa Cruiser with a missile. Baby Bowser is flung away from the Koopa Cruiser on the impact, and into his castle. Eventually, he realizes his arch-enemies and their adult selves have stolen his Cobalt Star Shard from his castle, and tracked them down to the Vim Factory, where he swipes both his Cobalt Star Shard and the one the Bros. have just obtained.
+Baby Bowser currently makes his only appearance in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. First appearing to trying to snatch Baby Peach, only to be defeated by the Baby Brothers. However, [[Shroobs]] attack Peach's Castle immediately after this, causing them to flee on Baby Bowser's Koopa Cruiser. There, he gets a message from [[Princess Shroob]], who destroys the Koopa Cruise, the young tyrant flying into his fortress. Tracking down both versions to the Vim Factory, he steals two Cobalt Star Shards, one being originally from his castle.
-Baby Bowser then flees to the peak of Yoshi's Island with his caretaker, Kamek.  There, he orders Kamek to snatch the Yoshi Cookies from the Yoshis. When the Mario Bros. catch up to Baby Bowser at the peak, he scarfs down all the Yoshi Cookies, but begins to choke. Baby Bowser then leaves to the other side of the peak after Kamek had given him some "evil milk". While Mario and Luigi try to talk it out with him, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi gobble up all the cookies, upsetting Baby Bowser greatly. He runs off while the Mario Bros. defeat Kamek, and they corner him at the other side of the peak. Without thinking his plans through, Baby Bowser eats the Cobalt Star Shards in retribution for the cookies, but soon after, both parties are eaten by Yoob.
+Later, he flies to Yoshi's Island with Kamek, where he chokes on Yoshi Cookies. After heading to the other side of the peak of the mountain he is on, the Baby Brothers devour the Yoshi Cookies, much to Baby Bowser's fury. Running off, he later devours the Cobalt Star Shards as revenge, before all parties being ironically eaten by [[Yoob]].  Inside the beast, Baby Bowser is put inside a Yoob Egg. After the brothers defeat [[Sunnycide]], Baby Bowser is freed with the other Yoshis.
-Inside Yoob, Baby Bowser, and the Yoshis who were already eaten, are put inside a Yoob Egg. When the Mario Bros. confront Sunnyside ( A monster inside Yoob), he throws the egg Baby Bowser is in at Luigi, breaking it open. After the Mario Bros. defeat Sunnycide, Baby Bowser and all of the swallowed Yoshis escape Yoob.
+Back on the island, he lies about the scenario, saying that he was the one who saved them. Accepting this, the Yoshi's give him all their cookies. As the Mario Bros. and Toadbert inform them about the truth, Baby Bowser gets sick, upchucking the Cobalt Star Shards.
+On Thwomp Island, he meets his future self once more, teaming up after a small argument. After being defeated by the Mario Bros, they are thrown upwards by a Thwomp Elevator, Baby Bowser landing on the Shroob Mothership.
-Back on Yoshi's Island, Baby Bowser tells the Yoshis that he was the one who saved them from Yoob, and beliving him, the Yoshis give him the rest of their cookies. When the Mario Bros. and Toadbert show up to tell them he is lying, Baby Bowser then eats all of the Yoshi Cookies and gets sick. He vomits the Cobalt Star Shards, which, somehow, hit him and fling him away from Yoshi's Island.
+He then returns after Princess Shroob is defeated, and although he is warned, he puts together the Cobalt Star Shards, freeing [[Elder Princess Shroob]], who turns him into a Shroob Mushroom. After defeating the alien monarch, Baby Bowser is freed, and he goes back to his own time.
-Later on, Baby Bowser heads off to Thwomp Island to build a new castle, where he meets his future self. After a small argument, Baby Bowser and Bowser team up, not knowing they are the same, against the Mario Bros. They end up being beaten after the battle and flung into the sky by an Thwomp Elevator, where Bowser ends up in a Time Hole and Baby Bowser ends up on top of the Shroob Mothership.
+==Other Appearances==
-Baby Bowser shows up again after the Bros. have defeated Princess Shroob and, despite being warned by Adult Princess Peach, he puts the Cobalt Star Shards together and completes the Cobalt Star, releasing Elder Princess Shroom, where Baby Bowser is then turned into a Shroob Mushroom.  After the battle with the Elder Princess Shroob, Baby Luigi's tears turn him back to his normal state. While the Mushroom Kingdom is cleansed of all traces of the Shroobs thanks to Professor E.Gadd, Baby Bowser goes home, complaining about losing the Cobalt Star, Kamek telling him to let it go.

 ==Trivia==
-*Baby Bowser and Baby Wario are the only babies from ''Yoshi's Island DS'' not to appear in ''Mario Super Sluggers''; however, Baby Wario has yet to have a 3D rendering entirely.
+*Along with Baby Wario, he is the only baby from ''Yoshi's Island DS'' absent from ''Mario Super Sluggers''.
-*Technically, Baby Bowser is the only boss in ''Yoshi's Island'' to be fought before being enhanced by Kamek, and one of two bosses to not initially be enhanced (the only other being Prince Froggy.)
+*Baby Bowser is the only boss to be fought at one point without being enhanced by Kamek, the other being Prince Froggy.
+*His official artwork in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' has him on the back of a Yellow Yoshi, which is impossible, as where the Yellow Yoshi's are only found in forts, Baby Bowser is never found in there.
-*Baby Bowser is referred to as "Prince Bowser" ''in Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time'', but he was previously "King Bowser" in the English version of ''Yoshi's Island''. This is seemingly a translation error, as he is subsequently referred to as "King Bowser" in Yoshi's Wooly World, and he also explicitly refers to himself as the king in his "poem" to Baby Yoshi prior to the second phase of the final fight in ''Yoshi's Story.''
+*Baby Bowser is the only baby who isn't voiced by his voice actor for his adult counterpart.
-*His official artwork in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' shows him on the back of a Yellow Yoshi, which only appears during fort levels. However, there is never a point in the actual game where Baby Bowser is usable in a fort.
+*The fight with Baby Bowser in Yoshi's Island after he transformed was known for frightening a lot of young children given the boss fight's surprisingly serious and suspenseful tone, final bosses in Yoshi games have notably lightened up to prevent this from happening again.
-*Baby Bowser is the only baby character who is not voiced by someone who also voices their adult counterpart.
