He debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', where he painted over most of {{s|mariowiki|Isle Delfino}} with a {{s|mariowiki|Magic Paintbrush}} he somehow obtained from {{s|mariowiki|Professor E. Gadd}}. The "paint" was often referred to as "goop". Bowser Jr.'s graffiti caused the {{s|mariowiki|Shine Sprite}}s scattered about, causing its sunlight to recede. Bowser Jr. did these things disguised as [[Mario]], tricking the denizens of Isle Delfino into thinking he was the culprit. In disguise, Bowser Jr. appears similar to Mario, but has a higher-pitched voice and a gelatinous, dark blue body with glowing red eyes. The disguise, referred to as [[Shadow Mario]], is activated by a blue neckerchief with Mario's signature mustache drawn on it (in later games starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour}}'', Bowser Jr.'s neckerchief is white and has a drawing of a ferocious mouth instead). | He debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', where he painted over most of {{s|mariowiki|Isle Delfino}} with a {{s|mariowiki|Magic Paintbrush}} he somehow obtained from {{s|mariowiki|Professor E.

Bowser Jr. was also convinced by his father that [[Princess Peach]] was his mother and that Mario | Bowser Jr. was also convinced by his father that [[Princess Peach]] was his mother and that Mario was a bad man who kidnapped her among other things, thus setting his plan into motion; by framing Mario, he attempts numerous times to kidnap the princess, who he refers to as his "mama".

Later ''Mario'' games would explore more facets of Bowser Jr.'s character. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'' and subsequent games, Jr. has been shown to invent and pilot large battle machines of various sorts, such as the Junior Clown Car. He is also able to hack computer systems and transform areas into military outposts with factories as seen in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle}}''. His mechanical and technological prowess show through in his ''Super Smash Bros.'' moveset, which shows him summoning various tools and gadgets from within the Clown Car. ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}'' explores Jr.'s personality in further detail, showing that, while he may be the child of a villain, he is ultimately a lonely Koopa who desires friends above anything else. Other games—such as ''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}'', and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury}}''—show that Bowser Jr. cares deeply about his father. | Later ''Mario'' games would explore more facets of Bowser Jr.'s character.

Bowser Jr. has complicated relationships with the main cast. Despite knowing that Peach is not his real mother, he will still assist Bowser in his attempts to capture and marry her.
