OH GOD DAMMIT!!!
...Well, if people complained enough to get Nintendo to create a Legend of Zelda timeline, I'm sure if enough people complain, they'll reconsider on this. Please... PLEASE, for God's sake!
The Koopalings are NOT Bowser's Children.

Considering Junior's the only one who looks like Bowser, that wasn't much of a surprise to me.

How's Miyamoto trolling? Was there ever a Mario game that specifically stated the koopalings were Bowser's kids? If not, that's wasn't Miyamoto trolling, that was fans making assumptions.

To me, it's kind of like how the Mario Bros. are supposed to be from Brooklyn, even though nothing in the games suggest that. In fact, Yoshi's Island almost contradicts it, even though you can still work out both as being possible.People Running About said:
Really, though, I think the problem is how Nintendo of America handled it as opposed to what Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo's Japanese counterparts handled things, kind of like how Dr. Eggman was Robotnik in America (and still is, but I don't want to get into that, AGAIN).
I had a feeling this might have been the case when early Japanese scans previewing New Super Mario Bros. Wii mentioned something similar to this, but an actual confirmation from the man himself... it's kind of disheartening...

i totally took this out of context and read it in the Hotel Mario voice "It's from Bowser!"People Running About said:

Yeah, don't trust the Western localisations because the developers had nothing to do with that.
They could still be Bowser Jr's cousins though, and then we'd know that Bowser had a brother called Morton if that held true. In any case, related or not, they're still the same characters they always were.

No there not you can't establish some them as being Bowser's kids and then just drop that for no reason.kat-rin koopa said:

Ah-HA! But there's the thing, it said in NINTENDO POWER, which is (or wasPeople Running About said:
) an AMERICAN magazine, and therefore, still under the guidance of what Nintendo of America localization said.Seriously, this new generation with the Internet sort of killed region-specific continuities for games, and with such easy access to the creators themselves, you can get their impressions on just about anything.

Personally, this actually annoys me. Probably because I really hate Bowser Jr. First he replaces the Koopalings, now they were suddenly never really Bowser's children in the first place, despite it being stated they were!

Same here. This does not effect gameplay whatsoever.Smasher said:

Even if it had been that way (which there's no indication of there being in Japan), you could very easily drop it because it has never affected the games in any way.

Per Smasher and GalacticPetey. Changing a character's backstory or relationship with other characters doesn't really make them different unless they did something horribly out of character.
Dude how do you lose your statues as being someones child also weren't most original guides just translated into English?kat-rin koopa said:

Plenty of other material suggests both or remains neutral. Pick the story you like and stick with it. It's not like Mario has an intricate plot anyway.
And Miyamoto's losing his touch, IMO; supposedly he's behing a lot of the "dumbing down" of the more recent platformers in order to further expand the audience (which is good business strategy, so I assume they'll keep doing it)

Again, I bring up: Robotnik was Eggman in Japan. There were a LOT of things that differed between versions of Japanese and Western games. It's not that hard to believe that, while the west was told that the Koopalings were Bowser's children, Japan was told no such thing.People Running About said:
