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 pilot large battle machines of various sorts, such as the Junior Clown Car. His mechanical 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 a spoiled child and a cunning villain, he is ultimately a lonely Koopa who desires friends above anything else. Other games—such as ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}'', and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury}}''—show that Bowser cares deeply about his son, and in return, Bowser Jr. cares enough about his father's wellbeing that he is willing to team up with Mario when they are in danger.

Bowser Jr. has complicated relationships with the main cast. Despite knowing the Peach is not his real mother, he will still assist Bowser in his attempts to capture and marry her. Peach herself sees Bowser Jr. as a misguided child that needs a proper parent, particularly not Bowser. Though Bowser Jr. is antagonistic for most playable characters, he especially despises Mario for constantly getting in the way. This animosity was strongest in ''Sunshine'' where he actively sought to take Mario down. Later installments toned this hatred down, with the two fighting only when their paths cross. Bowser Jr. even occasionally shows a willingness to team up with Mario, but only when he has no other options. When the mission is complete, he goes right back to his antagonizing ways. While Mario will not hesitate to fight out of self-defense and can sometimes be cold towards him, he has no ill will towards Bowser Jr. and is more than willing to help him.
