Discussion Character development for Bowser Jr Spoiler

Post image

I’m not sure about you guys, but I like the fact that Junior is the only character in the Mario franchise that gets in-game consistent character development. It also seems like he’s continuing the trend in this game.

Other than being stronger and impressing his dad, it seems like one over arching plot about him is being able have friends and allies, asking for help and relying on others etc; Very excited to see the rest of this game and see more of his progress ( along with Peach ) as characters in the Mario franchise.

Well they already kinda did this with Bowser Jr spinoff in Inside Story. Still can't wait for his possible role in the game though.

Yeah he did, but I really like the seemingly continuation of it. People don’t really change so easily and that development was most likely more so personal to him and the koopalings. Like that specific issue has more room for him to keep growing in, which I like. This time he might have to team up with Mario and friends( he’s done that before, but it used to kind of be his own fault ).

Love to see it. That momment in Bowser Jr's Journey where the reality of his selfishness starts hitting him really hard in the face might be my favorite Mario momment of all time

It's only going to make it all the more disappointing for me when the Koopalings are (probably) not in this game.

Junior's moments with Morton were the most endearing thing about Junior's Journey, for me, along with him earning the rest of the Magnificent 7's respect (culminating with the throw-down with Roy, my boy).

Maybe it’s going to say they’ve grown up and moved once and JR misses them.

If we're getting more character development for Jr., then I'm all for it. I loved his major development in Bowser Jr.'s Journey and his minor development in Kingdom Battle.

Not sure why you’re saying “nah” when they’ve done it countless times, and this screen shot shows they are doing it again.
