Same here. It's so much more interesting when they are Bowser's children IMO. I don't care about the mother of those kids, really.Walkazo said:Yep, he did. Pisses me off to no end, it does. One can still argue they were adopted or something and then disowned when he got himself a biological kid or something, but I prefer the "screw that, I'm doing what's right and leaving them as his kids in my headcanon" reaction.

What really got me into Mario (beyond just playing the games) was wondering what happened to the mother and then writing a story about what would happen if she came back. Then that basic story evolved into a whole, convoluted headcanon, but aside from the specific "she comes back" fanfics, I just operate under the assumption that she vanished without a trace when Junior was an egg and is presumed dead.Pink Gold Giga12 said:I'm always of the theory that the mother is dead. Think of it - she's never mentioned, even in the RPGs.Halayà úbe Praseodymium Mario said:Same here. It's so much more interesting when they are Bowser's children IMO.

Maybe Peach reminds him of his ex-wife so he's trying to get back to a place where he was with his wife and happy.Pink Gold Tubba Blubba said:Maybe they're divorced. Bowser had a midlife crisis and dyed his hair red, but his wife didn't like it and left him. Now Bowser keeps kidnapping Peach because he's hoping for ransom money to pay alimony.
Or she's nothing like the wife, and he's using Peach to try to forget his wife and the painful hole she left behind.Headless Specter said:Maybe Peach reminds him of his ex-wife so he's trying to get back to a place where he was with his wife and happy.Pink Gold Tubba Blubba said:Maybe they're divorced.

Nysic said:Also, Bowser can only be comfortable surrounded by lava in World 8.
Pink Gold Tubba Blubba said:Isn't him having back pains even canon? I recall it being a plot point in Bowser's Inside Story.
Nysic said:I thought he had back pains because Mario and Luigi drilled into his back.
QFT!Pink Gold Tubba Blubba said:Everything that happens in Mario games is just a means to an end. Half of the fun is piecing together absurd implications that result from those events.
Really, the fact that there's almost no continuity or plot cohesion in the series means it can be pretty much whatever you want it to be.
Dreamy Fawful said:I think Waluigi is a far better character than Toad, and that Toad is a failure of a character that needs to die and go to the Underwhere and never return. Meanwhile his corpse is sacrificed to the Great Lord Waluigi, who rejects such filth and gives it to the wild Goombas.
