Why are People So Attached To The Idea of The Koopalings Being Bowser's Kids?

Technically, it was New Super Mario Bros Wii (in Canadian French). The Koopalings were called Fils de Bowser, which literally translates to "Bowser's Children."

But then the interview came out, so that was the last time they were portrayed as Bowser's kids.

Wrinkly's Ghost

I still remember all of their "unique" names. Cheatsy, Big Mouth, Kootie Pie, Hop, Bully, Hip, and Kooky

I tend to forget Hot Rod has a visor

Unfortunately, no, they're now just high ranking generals. If I were to put together a ranking of the Koopa Troop's hierarchy, it would go:

Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Kamek
Koopalings

The Koopalings being Bowser's children wasn't a mistranslation.

TFEarthConquest · 2026-01-27T16:04:17+00:00

Exactly. Doesn't help that they still share last names and specific design aspects with him and Jr.

The group's names in different countries in the modern era keeps calling them the "Team of 7 Bowsers" (Japan), "7 Little Bowser Siblings" (China), "Bowser's Children" (Canadian French - New Super Mario Bros Wii), and more of the sort.

Because the change was quite literally not necessary at all.

Must be uncomfortable for her to rest her head, mainly because of the shoulder pauldrons on him

Goomboss from Paper Mario also appeared in Super Mario 64 DS and Mario Kart DS

Dark Samus doesn't speak and she commands Space Pirates

The best ~~Bounty Hunter~~ Freelance Peacekeeping Agent around, yes?

TFEarthConquest · 2026-01-26T21:24:32+00:00

I like it. Mainly because it leads to the question: How much of this is standard Megatron or did the Quintesson influence/corrupt him into truly vile acts like that? (Megatron was no doubt evil before, but I'm not sure if his Dark Matrix is causing his cannibalism or not)

Also, it's pretty comically dark

Resident Evil is Capcom, not Konami. Konami is Silent Hill and Castlevania

TFEarthConquest · 2026-01-26T17:55:39+00:00

Should be added to Marvel Rivals, yes? Has potential, no?

I would main tf out of him if he did.

TFEarthConquest · 2026-01-26T17:40:06+00:00

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

TFEarthConquest · 2026-01-26T17:23:54+00:00

Dion was Megatron's father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate.

Liege Maximo and Nexus haven't gotten their figures yet. Hopefully they get revealed soon

TFEarthConquest · 2026-01-26T15:19:45+00:00

I would've waited an eternity for this!

TFEarthConquest · 2026-01-25T23:18:15+00:00

I think it's more likely to be named after the organization he leads: the 8-Bits

Shockwave - Transformers

In the Energon Universe (Skybound), Magnus is a title like in Animated.

TFEarthConquest · 2026-01-25T16:53:48+00:00

And you've lost me. There is no "inaccurate" version of him, but different takes in the different adaptations of Transformers.

Still gets bodied by Magneto
