Baby Bowser looks almost identical to [[Bowser Jr.]], even sometimes sharing his voice. The main difference in the visual design between the two is that Bowser Jr. has a drawing on his bandanna, while Baby Bowser's is blank, or he does not wear it at all. | ||
Adult Bowser has been portrayed as an infant in other media, namely in the episode "[[Two Plumbers and a Baby]]" in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and the episode "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]" in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', though the Baby Bowser character is considered a distinct entity from these forms. | Adult Bowser has been portrayed as an infant in other media, namely in the episode "[[Two Plumbers and a Baby]]" in ''[[The Super Mario Bros.

He first appears at the beginning of the game, in an attempt to kidnap [[Baby Peach]]. Luckily, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi show up in the nick of time to play with Baby Peach. After Baby Mario defeats him however, the [[Shroob]]s attack [[Peach's Castle]]. Fortunately, everyone manages to escape on Baby Bowser's [[Koopa Cruiser]].

On the Koopa Cruiser, he receives a transmission from [[Princess Shroob]] at [[Shroob Castle]]. She tells the crew something in the Shroobs' language and shoots down the Koopa Cruiser with a [[Shroob missile]]. | ||
Baby Bowser is flung away from the Koopa Cruiser on the impact, into his castle. Eventually, he realizes his archenemies and their adult selves have stolen his [[Cobalt Star|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 from [[Swiggler]]. | Baby Bowser is flung away from the Koopa Cruiser on the impact, into his castle.

His form of speech also varies from game to game: in some games, such as ''Yoshi's Island'' or ''Yoshi's New Island'', he speaks in a somewhat childish way, using broken English and replacing some letters with "w" (e.g. "gween" instead of "green"). In other games, like ''Yoshi's Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', however, he speaks in fluent English. | In most games, he speaks with a text box with limited voiced dialogue.
