She's here to break shit

Gangster Mama is a Fan Webcomic based on the Super Mario Bros. franchise. Just as the series main antagonist Bowser is about to defeat Mario once and for all, a mysterious tough as nails young woman inadvertently saves the red plumber's life by kicking the Thwomp that would have ended him out of the way. However, she's not here to oppose the koopa king. Instead, she arrives on the scene to tell Bowser to take responsibility for his actions!

As it turns out, this young woman (named Jasmine) is carrying Bowser's future son inside her and threatens to go to the authorities and tell them that he (unknowingly) had sex with a minor unless he either pays child support or helps raise the new addition to the koopa family by marrying Jasmine!

Too proud to pay child support, Bowser reluctantly takes in Jasmine on two conditions. One, she takes care of the castle on a daily basis and two, receives a genuine kiss from her baby daddy within 30 days or else be exiled from the castle! Complicating this of course is Bowser's refusal towards Jasmine's advances and the arrival of his other children, the Koopalings!

If the above didn't tip you off, Gangster Mama is rated NSFW for explicit language and suggestive content!

Gangster Mama provides examples of:

  • All Men Are Perverts: Morton Jr. and Iggy are pretty vocal about what they think of Jasmine.
    • Bowser himself used to frequent a strip club and has no qualms about openly stating his tastes in women.
  • A Man Is Always Eager: Bowser takes "Jenni" (Actually Jasmine covering for her older sister) to a love hotel because he assumes she wants to spend the night with him. He even throws a huge bag of money at the manager after initially being told the dancers are not for sale.
    • And again in chapters 18 and 19 when he makes a move on Jenni offering her both dinner a night with him she won't soon forget. Due to Jasmine being a case of Can't Hold Her Liquor, Bowser escorts her from the dining area only to end up having sex with her a third time off-screen. It's outright stated in the following chapter (which skips ahead a few months) that he's been plowing Jasmine on a regular basis since then
  • Amazon Brigade: The Thorns whom Jasmine used to be a part of.
  • Amazon Chaser: Bowser is this towards Jenni though he's more interested in her looks than her physical strength. It's also implied that this is the reason why Luigi is attracted to Jenni when they meet in Chapter 17 and also presumably the reason why she's become the latter's girlfriend over the 4 year time skip.
  • Amusement Park: Bowser out of the goodness of his heart decides to make Jasmine's last day of living at his castle memorable by taking her to a local amusement park. Naturally, Ludwig decides to get the other Koopalings to help him sabotage (i.e prevent Jasmine from kissing Bowser) the date. attempts at said sabotage fail as Jasmine and Bowser by the end of the date leave in such a good mood that they decide to head back to his castle for some recreational sex. Cue Ludwig's villainous BSOD the next morning when Jasmine gleefully announces that she won the bet!
  • And Now You Must Marry Me: Jasmine's only other option she gives Bowser! Given the circumstances this would be a wise choice for both of them! Subverted a bit as Kamek gives Jasmine 30 days to receive an actual kiss from Bowser or else be booted from the castle! She wins said bet at the end of chapter 15
    • In Episode 23, Jenni reveals that while the males of her and Jasmine's species are weaker than the females, if a male triumphs over the female in combat, the female must marry him.
  • Artistic License: Pregnancy. Jasmine's water breaks at the end of Chapter 9. Given that she got impregnated about five months before the start of the story and had been living in Bowser's Castle for about two-three weeks when it happened, she would at most be around five and a half months through her pregnancy. In the traditional nine month human female pregnancy, it's not uncommon for babies to born way before they are due, but in most of those cases, the baby is considered stillborn! (meaning its born dead)
  • Ax-Crazy: Jasmine oh so much. Bowser's also prone to this at times though usually it's something his goomba minions or Jasmine herself does to get him angry.
  • Badass Crew: The Thorns. Played for laughs in the Koopalings case as the one time all seven of them try to assault Jasmine, it goes about as well as you would think.
  • Big Eater: Morton Jr. and Roy are shown to be this in the guest comic written and drawn by Lifeofan Aspie creator Aspie Gamer. It's then quickly deconstructed in a crowning moment of funny as its implied those two boys being teenagers and all use the bathroom a fair bit because of how much they consume per day which would be fine if they remembered to flush the toilet after they are done using it.
  • Berserk Button: Damn near anything will piss off Jasmine.
    • Bowser loathes any attempt made by Jasmine or minions to try and get him and his baby mama to kiss!
      • Jenni doesn't tolerate senseless violence.
      • Bowser has a new button of his pushed in Chapter 21 when Mario spills the beans that his brother Luigi got into a relationship with Jenni at some point during the 4 year time skip and is living together with her. To say Bowser is furious doesn't adequately describe his rage upon hearing this revelation. He later cries about it though.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: Lemmy after seeing a tantalizing picture of Jasmine in a bikini that Iggy whips out.
    Lemmy: Nasty woman!
    • He is also seen balancing on balls for attention.
      • In the beginning of the chapter where Wendy and Larry make their first appearance, Lemmy demands donuts and throws his bouncy balls at Jasmine to get his point across! Naturally, Jasmine doesn't take any of his crap period and throws one of Lemmy's balls through the wall
  • Cain and Abel: Ludwig and Bowser Jr. Being the oldest of Bowser's seven children, Ludwig is naturally next in line to rule the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser knocking up Jasmine by accident and the consequences that follow throw a wrench in this for if Jasmine and Bowser tie the knot, Bowser Jr. will technically have a right to the throne regardless of Ludwig being next due to age.
  • Chocolateof Romance Jasmine asks Bowser to fetch her some chocolate saying its what the baby is hungry for. Rather than feed it to her seductively like in most examples of this trope, Bowser instead has a goomba retrieve some for her to eat.
  • Corporal Punishment: Jasmine considers doing this to the Koopalings that are in the castle after they cause a huge mess just for the heck of it! Subverted however in the same chapter when 4 of the Koopalings try to gang up on her, she slaps the stone floor with her huge spiky whip thing and that's enough to get them running with their tails between their legs!
  • Danceof Romance: Played for laughs when a few Goombas set this up to try and get Jasmine and Bowser to kiss. It doesn't work the moment one of them in its squeaky voice sings Michael Bolton's "When A Man Loves A Woman"
  • A Day in the Limelight: Chapter 17 focuses on Luigi of all people.
  • Destructo-Nookie Jasmine insists that one happened between her and Bowser at the end of one chapter. Bowser is quick to deny it however! The narrator even implies this!
    Narrator: Relax. They were just fighting! (Maybe)
  • Driven by Envy: Ludwig's reason for trying to evict Jasmine from Bowser's Castle asap! He hates the thought of her and Bowser's child succeeding the throne before he does.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Aside from impregnating a 16 year old girl by accident, Bowser much like his portrayal in the games is nice towards the Koopalings and his minions unless they do something to irk him!
    • Jasmine is without a doubt the most violent foul mouthed young lady, but don't say she's anything but a good mother to Bowser Jr.
  • Express Delivery: Jasmine's water breaks at the end of Chapter 9, roughly 5 and 1/2 months into her pregnancy.
  • Fanservice: Bowser has a prominent set of abs. Jasmine herself looks good for a pregnant lady and looks even better after she has Bowser Jr. Her older sister Jenni has a nice body as well.
    • The flashback episode (which prominently features Jasmine's former place of employment during her days as an exotic dancer) is obviously this trope incarnate!
    • In addition to their abnormal strength, Jasmine and Jenni both have circular lines around their iris, a more subtle hint that they are special amongst the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. It's revealed in Chapter 19 that the pattern of their eyes determines how powerful they are.
  • For Want Of A Nail: If Bowser hadn't gone out for drinks 5 months prior to the start of Gangster Mama...
    • Or more specifically, if he hadn't mistaken Jasmine for his favorite dancer Jenni (Jasmine's older sister), proceeded to take her to a love hotel afterward, and accidentally leave his wallet behind the following morning, (which gave Jasmine enough info to track him down when she found out she got impregnated by him) he wouldn't be in the pickle he finds himself in at the start of the comic
  • Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Subverted as Jasmine is certainly not a paragon of shining good! However when Kamek suggests she aborts the fetus, Jasmine replies she's grown fond of it as its all she has left.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: Jasmine and Jenni look human, but it's implied here and there that they are not quite 100% human. The latter outright tells Luigi in Chapter 18 that she and her sister "aren't exactly human". An explanation for their freakish strength and endurance has yet to be revealed however.
  • Interspecies Romance: While portrayed as humanoid in Gangster Mama, Bowser is otherwise a large fire breathing turtle/dragon thing!
    • Luigi (a human) and Jenni (an unrevealed species of humanoid) following the time skip
  • Jailbait Taboo: Half the reason why Bowser is forced to help Jasmine raise their child. She even has a video tape of the hotel room they slept in!
  • Kids Are Cruel: At one point five of the seven Koopalings cause a riot (and make a hell of a mess) just because!
  • Mistaken Identity: In the two part flashback episode, Jasmine gets mistaken for her older sister Jenni (the former was covering for the latter who was preoccupied with something else at the time) by Bowser and gets taken by the mighty koopa king to a nearby love hotel where things...escalate leading to Bowser Jr's conception.
  • My Girl Is Nota Slut: Despite being an exotic dancer of all things, Jasmine was apparently a virgin until Bowser deflowered her (and impregnated her as well) in the flashback episode.
  • Next Thing They Knew: It's revealed early on that Bowser went out for drinks 5 months prior to the start of the webcomic and by fate met Jasmine which spiraled into them hooking up at a hotel and Bowser forgetting his wallet whenhe left the morning after
    • The flashback episode fills in some missing details about how the two hooked up in the first place.
  • Obvious Pregnancy: Jasmine's about 5 months into her pregnancy when Gangster Mama starts!
  • One Head Taller: Bowser is this to Jasmine. It's even shown in one chapter where a group of goombas run into Bowser from behind to try and get him to kiss Jasmine by accident while the two are in the middle of an argument. Due to height differences...
  • Only Sane Man: Roy seems to be (mostly) neutral about Jasmine compared to Larry, Morton, and Iggy with the latter two not even bothering to hide how hot they are for their step mom, Lemmy's a brat, Ludwig conspires to get Jasmine evicted before the month is up, and Wendy who just plain doesn't like Jasmine.
  • Real Women Have Curves: Invoked by Jasmine after Bowser makes a passing comment about her getting fatter due to the pregnancy.
    • She even tries to seduce Bowser at one point by flaunting her full pregnant figure while wearing nothing but a bikini!
      • Jasmine's older sister Jenni isn't lacking in the breasts or hips department herself.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Jasmine's prone to using violence in just about any situation even if there's no need to be violent. Jenni on the other hand is very calm and collected only using her fists when the situation actually calls for it.
  • Rings of Death: Averted as Jasmine easily breaks one of the two rings Wendy throws at her...with her teeth!
  • Running Gag: Ludwig and that PlayStation 2 Bowser allegedly bought him to shut him up. Even after the time skip, its *nowhere* to be seen nor does Ludwig mention owning one
    • Bowser and Jasmine being interrupted during sexy time.
  • Screaming Birth: Jasmine's so loud when giving birth to Bowser Jr. that the Koopaling's can hear her on the other side of the castle!
  • Sex God: Bowser leaves Jasmine unable to stand on her feet at first the morning after he deflowered her. He's still able to do this when the two start having regular sex around Chapter 20.
  • She's Not My Girlfriend: A variant of this happens in discussion!
    Goomba: *cheerful* Congrats on the new wife! I knew you would finally settle down!
    Bowser: *offended* She's not my wife!
  • Sibling Rivalry: Ludwig is not pleased at the thought of a rival that could usurp his position as next in line to ascend the throne. His jealousy over the soon to be Bowser Jr. drives the subplot of Gangster Mama as Ludwig hatches scheme after scheme to try and evict Jasmine before she can win the bet imposed on her at the start of the comic. At the end of Chapter 15 after yet another failed plot to give Jasmine the boot, he and the other koopalings wake up just in time to see their father with scratches on his back and a satisfied but smug Jasmine proudly proclaiming she finally got a genuine kiss from Bowser on the lips (and other places too) thus winning the bet. To say Ludwig got served his just deserts would be an understatement!
    • Roy and Morton Jr. get into a fight which later requires Jasmine to take time out of her day to patch them up.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Jasmine though Bowser gets in on it too!
  • Shipper on Deck: Bowser's minions (mostly goombas) fully support Bowser X Jasmine much to Bowser's chagrin.
  • Teen Pregnancy: Jasmine's 16 and underage as well
  • The Smurfette Principle: Wendy is this among the seven Koopalings.
  • The Tease: Jasmine's well aware of what her momma gave her and uses it to make Bowser's minions gush. Doesn't work as well on the Koopa King however as he's actively trying to avoid his lips touching Jasmine's!
  • Time Skip: Chapter 21 takes place about 4 years after the last official chapter. Bowser Jr. can now walk and talk, but most interestingly, Luigi seems to have become an official item with Jenni causing Bowser to rage when he finds out.
  • Tsundere: Bowser acts like Jasmine's feminine charm doesn't work on him. He doesn't fool the reader one bit!
  • Women Are Wiser: Subverted in Jasmine's case as she's not that much smarter than Bowser being a powerful Amazonian beauty delinquent and all who causes just as much trouble if not more.
    • Played straight in Jenni's case as she's the voice of reason in her relationship with Jasmine.
