Trivia

  • His alternate costumes are the Koopalings from the Mario series, making him the only character that can't change his color.
  • He is the only character with legs who doesn't fight on the ground, as he fights around in the Junior Clown Car.
  • Bowser Jr. is the only one of his costumes that Koopa Clown Car has normal black eyes. The Koopalings' Koopa Clown Car have yellow eyes. Also, Bowser Jr.'s Koopa Clown Car jester paint is side to side. The other Clown Cars' paint is up and down.
    • However, Bowser Jr.'s Clown Car can change eyes to yellow.
