Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]
- While he has attempted to kill multiple people (which is enough to pass the baseline), he still massively fails the heinous standard to his own dad Bowser, who turns the Toads into bricks, tries to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom and the universe and kidnap Peach multiple times.
- His resources only help a bit, as he doesn't have all of the power his father has, but he doesn't do enough with his resources to stand out, and almost all of his actions are under his father’s orders.
- Anything else that could make him stand out has conditions that lessen their heinousness, as him turning Bowser into Fury Bowser is Fridge Horror given it’s unknown if the latter was going to kill a lot of people or if he’s in a fate worse than death. Either way, this is unintentional as he actively tries to stop Bowser’s rampage and only intended to play a prank on him, even asking Mario for help to turn Bowser back to normal.
- He is too comedic to be PE or NPE as he constantly has childish tantrums when he is defeated and he cracks many jokes in his appearances as well.
- In Mario Party DS after losing to the hero's, he joins the other characters in playing Triangle Twisters and has a fun time.
- He cares for and respects many people:
- He loves and admires his father, Bowser, as he tries to kidnap Peach and tries to rule the Mushroom Kingdom to make him proud of him. He also teams up with Mario when he realize Bowser was corrupted by the black paint. He creates Rabbid copies of the Mushroom Kingdom to impress his father once he returned to his Vacation. He beckons Mario to save Bowser from the MegaBug.
- He does care for Kamek as he was willing to listen to him on how he became the most loyal minion to Bowser and he teams up with him to defeat the B.F.F
- He does care for the Koopalings as he was willing to help them kidnap Peach so that Bowser can be happy for them as proved in the Super Mario Bros. series.
- Despite his rivalry with Mario, he is willing to put his differences aside in Kart-racing, Super Mario Party, Super Smash Bros. and the Mario and Sonic Olympics games and in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, he gave Spawny back to Mario and co. as a gratitude for saving his father. This proves he respects Mario and doesn't outright hate him like Bowser does. He even drew a picture of his and Mario's adventure at the end of Bowser's Fury, showing that he actually enjoyed it.
- He manages to get along well with his Paper Counterpart and didn't plan to betray them at the start unlike the regular Bowser and Paper Bowser who think about betraying each other at the very start.
- He is On & Off villain as he has done a lot of heroic acts like defeating the B.F.F he also teams up with Mario to defeat the MegaBug and Fury Bowser.
- In the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls guide, Bowser Jr. always shut off his switch when time is up. It's also confirmed in Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle that he takes responsibility of other chores too such as his homework.
