Near the end of ''SSB4''{{'}}s metagame, Bowser Jr. had been considered a low-tier character (47th out of 54 characters), due to his linear playstyle, poor disadvantage state that included a very gimpable recovery despite its long distance, and his susceptibility to being racked damage on easier than most other characters due to the Clown Car mechanic. Likely as a result of this, Bowser Jr. has been buffed in his transition to ''Ultimate''. | Near the end of ''SSB4''{{'}}s metagame, Bowser Jr. had been considered a low-tier character (47th out of 54 characters), due to his linear playstyle, poor disadvantage state that included a very gimpable recovery despite its long distance, and his susceptibility to being racked damage on easier than most other characters due to the Clown Car mechanic.

Bowser Jr.'s biggest change was to his hurtbox, as the Junior Clown Car's hurtbox now takes priority over Bowser Jr.'s own, which allows him to more reliably take damage on average more compared to any other fighter, and makes his survivability comparable to heavyweights like {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}. Aside from this, Bowser Jr. benefits from some of the changes to universal game mechanics: the universal frame 3 [[jumpsquat]] allows Bowser Jr. to use his strong aerials more effectively, and the increase in mobility contributes to both a better grounded [[approach]] for Bowser Jr. and improves his air game and recovery. The reintroduction of directional [[air dodge]]s slightly improves his recovery, allowing him to mix it up with more ease. The lower [[landing lag]] on his aerial attacks also improves their combo and spacing potential. | Bowser Jr.'s biggest change was to his hurtbox, as the Junior Clown Car's hurtbox now takes priority over Bowser Jr.'s own, which allows him to more reliably take damage on average more compared to any other fighter, and makes his survivability comparable to heavyweights like {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}.
