Video Footage Showing the Return a Koopa Kid

  The NWR staff got to face off with a familiar face while playing New Super Mario Bros Wii at NintendoÂ’s booth. Morton Koopa Jr. has returned and he appears to still have his trusty wand from Super Mario Bros 3. The last time Morton Koopa Jr. appeared in a Mario platformer was Super Mario World.  Hopefully, more if not all seven of the original Kooopa Kids will make an appearance in the final version.    




 

   
NWR decimates Morton.

Why the **** did the Koopa Kids come back.

We killed all of them during our rebellion in Dinosaur Land.  I know Bowser must've been upset that we murdered his offspring, but cloning them is illogical and morally irresponsible.

He wouldn't be Bowser if he weren't illogical and evil.

They really need to decide between Bowser Jr.(s) or the Koopa Kids and stick with one.

Bowser had 3 "Bowser Jr.s" in one of the Mario Party games so apparently he took a page from George Foreman's book.

I'm guessing that Bowser either reproduces asexually or he has a wife that he's utterly ashamed of and keeps locked away somewhere in his castle. It'd be interesting if, in one of the Mario and Luigi RPGs, the brothers wound up finding her.

Princess Daisy.  Notice how even though she's part of the Mario franchise, she hasn't appeared in the same main series game as Mario since Super Mario Land.  Yeah, I guess Bowser's just that desperate.

On a more serious front, I really hope this means the death of Bowser Jr....but I doubt it.

I thought from playing Partners in Time that Bowser Jr. was Bowser as a kid, kind of like Baby Mario.

Bowser Jr. and Baby Bowsers are two different characters.

Here's the number one reason as to why the Koopa Kids returned: Nostalgia.

Yeah I know I am being a party killer and this much is logical. But considering that the "Mario timeline" is worse than the Zelda timeline they keep adding and taking characters away for no reason other than for sh*ts and giggles.

Since New Super Mario Bros. is a celebration of all things Mario before the 64 came by its logical that for the sequel they not only brought back the Yoshi but the Koopa Kids as well...

Ah hell now I am just rambling...

The best and only way to explain the Mario timeline is to agree that there is no Mario timeline and the similarities between the games are all coincidences.

The Mario Party games had someone named "Koopa Kid" which is a different character than Bowser Jr.

It's best to treat each Mario game as its own alternate universe.

I was the jackass Mario who died at the end.
It is funny because I played the other boss that was playable (Larry Koopa, I think) and had no trouble by myself. Throw in four players and the boss battles become a lot harder and more chaotic.

It looks like that would be the case, could provide some pretty hilarious game sessions though. What other NWR staff are playing with you?

I don't recall. We had about eight people walking around with us for the Nintendo Booth Tour.
I wanna say Lauren, Chessa, and Zach, but TYP, Jonny, Nick, or James could've been in, too.

The only thing that could make this better is if they could get the people who did the voices in the cartoons to do the voices in the game (sure, they had different names, but it would be cool).
