Played the game and it's implied he's more upset about not getting the continental breakfast.


** The reason why Bowser was pissed about not getting invited to Peach's meeting about the Blorbs was because Fawful had infected some of his Goombas with Blorb Mushrooms.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Junior faces off with the [=BFF=] for the final time, Dieter hits him with one of these, rebuffing Junior's accusations of the [=BFF=] being evil for their actions by accusing them of the same since they're assisting Bowser in acts such kidnapping the princess and conquering the Mushroom Kingdom. Junior suffers a brief crisis of morality, going as far as to ask Ludwig (who refuses to answer) and Roy (who misinterprets the question) if they're "the bad guys". Ultimately, Junior defies Dieter's accusation by proclaiming that [[AboveGoodAndEvil "good" and "evil" are relative and therefore irrelevant; as long as he's helping his dad with his goals, that's good enough for him]].

* DeathFromAbove: One of the new Captain Commands in the game is the Shy Guy Swarm, which summons 3 Shy Guy Airtubs to bombard any enemies (As well as allies) that are targeted if Bowser Jr. is a Flying Unit.



* GreaterScopeVillain: Fawful. Just like [[VideoGame/MinionQuestTheSearchForBowser Cackletta]] before him, his conquest of Bowser and Peach's realms are ongoing during the events of this game, but he doesn't confront Jr.'s forces directly, instead delegating responsibilties to the BFF trio who serve as the true antagonists.
* GuideDangIt: Getting [[spoiler:Nabbit]] as a minion requires [[spoiler:Ludwig]] to be your First Officer. Thankfully it's a postgame battle so you aren't forced to miss this.

** The Koopa Paratroopa Trio are [[ConnectedAllAlong revealed to have been part of the Koopa Troop all along]], as well as lackeys of Fawful, though they're technically ex-lackeys by the postgame since Fawful was already dead.

* FiveManBand: With the addition of [[EvilGenius Dieter]], [[DarkChick Kaley]] and [[TheBrute Beef]] into his ranks (alongside [[TheDragon Midbus]]), [[BigBad Fawful]] becomes part of one, although he and Midbus act separately from the [=BFF=] trio as {{Greater Scope Villain}}s.

Reverting edit by serial ban evader.


* MomentKiller: Iggy does this during the scene where Bowser tells the Koopalings to look after Jr while he's gone, as he wants him to [[ArmorPiercingResponse "grow up strong and wise, just like him".]] When the Koopalings are deep in thought about this, [[TheHyena Iggy]] blurts out, "You're joking right? And people say I'M the crazy one!" Understandably, [[DudeNotFunny Bowser beats him up off-screen for it]].
-->'''Bowser''': He's a good kid... he just needs guidance. I want him to grow up strong and wise...just like me.
-->'''Wendy''' (thinking): Seriously?
-->'''Larry''' (thinking): Seriously?
-->'''Lemmy''' (thinking): Did he say wise?
-->'''Iggy''' (loud and clear, [[RecordNeedleScratch as the sad music suddenly stops]]): [[TheHyena Bahaha!]] You're joking, right? And people say I'm the crazy one!

* TheChessmaster: Ludwig is this in spades. He uses a mannqeuin to trick Beef and strike him behind after he learns he's no match for Beef's Brawn, then, he made a Beef costume to fool Kaley, and leanred about the Best Fitness Friends' plans. And when he took off the disguise, he told her all of her plans and secrets, [[BerserkButton setting her off greatly]].

* ProductionForeshadowing: Judging by the Bowser Minions reappearing in the game, [[note]] Pink and Yellow Shy Guys, as well as Cheep Cheeps, even though they cannot be recruited [[/note]] it looked like Nintendo was [[HopeSpot really going to make]] [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam2 Paper Jam 2]], but unfortunately [[FranchiseKiller due to the game's low sales]] and the [[UngratefulBastard fans' ungratefulness towards the game itself]], AlphaDream went bankrupt.
