That.
That was ALL the Koopalings got in previous Smash entries. A sticker of Ludwig. Nothing more.
And now look where they're at. Alts with their own announcer clips and art.
The Koopalings sure have come a long way. Not to mention come
back a long way as well.
Just like Bowser, they'll always find a way to return from the abyss.
I.......I...............I just....I just couldn't agree more, my friend.
The Koopalings have truly.......returned........from the abyss.
Just....thank you, Sakurai. I mean I'm still a little peeved on not getting a Rhythm Heaven or a Pilot Wings rep, Mewtwo, or Bandana Waddle Dee, but like I said a page or two back, Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, and Duck Hunt are a few of the things that saved this roster for me. If it wasn't for them, God forbid, I probably would not want this game. Heck, I'm such a fan of the Koopalings, that I don't care what Miyamoto declares. Until I see some new, official, relationship, or he himself officially confirms that they are blood-related again, I don't care if anyone corrects me, Headcanon or not, I'm still considering Ludwig, Lemmy, Roy, Iggy, Wendy, Morton Jr., and Larry all as Bowser's CHILDREN, and that Bowser Jr. is their little brother. Fine, call me out on it, but until I see a new relation between them, (that doesn't simply make them his "simple minons") or that Miyamoto himself says they're a family again, I'm still saying those are Bowser's kids and that 8 (including Jr.) of them are blood-related. I'm sorry if I'm sounding a little too intense here, I'm just a little annoyed on how Nintendo suddenly makes such a big decision like that to say they're not his kids anymore. I'd rather have at least one "minion" have a relationship with Bowser (that's not so freaking obivious.
Don't get me wrong, I love Jr.. I'm just annoyed with how they treated the Koopalings like that.) (on a side note, I also consider Boom Boom and Pom Pom his nephew and niece.
