 Bowser Jr.'s Journey (Video Game)

Bowser Jr.'s Journey, known in Japanese as Koopa Jr. RPG,note "Koopa Jr." being Bowser Jr.'s name there is a strategy based side story for the Video Game Remake of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, starring (who else?) Bowser Jr. It is also a followup to Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser, which was likewise a side story for the Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga remake. In this side story of Bowser's Inside Story, Bowser rushes off to Peach's Castle to join a meeting about the recent Blorb epidemic that has overtaken the entire Mushroom Kingdom, with Junior acting as command until he returns. That is, until a group known as the "Best Fitness Friends" come knocking with a supposed cure for the Blorbs and offer the recipe for it. Expecting to be praised by his father for singlehandedly fixing everything before he gets back, Bowser Jr. rushes off to collect the ingredients he needs.What starts as a simple Fetch Quest quickly goes sour when Bowser Jr.'s bratty personality chews away at the last straws of all the Koopalings but Morton, while panic rages on back home.The gameplay is mostly identical to Minion Quest. The fights are a nine-on-nine frenzy with a simple Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors dynamic with the three types of units, Melee, Ranged, and Flying. The major changes this time around are Group Special Attacks, where multiple units of the same type band together to really bring the pain, and First Officers, a special position for minions like the Koopalings that provide stat bonuses and additional commands.As with Minion Quest, it is not a standalone game; it is instead part of the Bowser's Inside Story remake.

Brainwashed and Crazy: Morton gets this after being forced to eat a corrupted version of Skeletone Formula:D called Malatone Formula:X. In addition to Fawful's brainwashing in the main game, a number of Minions are also fed Malatone.

Chekhov's Gun: An in-story equivalent happens with the Ever Ice. Bowser sent Kamek to get some for Junior to enjoy as a treat a long time ago only for Junior to never touch it. Cue the events of the game and now Bowser Jr needs it to make the Blorbs cure. Kamek even points out the irony of the situation.

Gentle Giant: Morton takes every insult Junior throws at him in stride, constantly sticks by his friends through all the trouble without ever getting angry, and never considers leaving or even firing back at Jr's constant insults. When Dieter hits him with the Malatone, he says he's sorry and tells Jr. to run.

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. (As well as implied dialogue about not getting the continental breakfast).

Hero of Another Story: Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings themselves are this to the main story. Mario and Luigi also act more like this in their one scene compared to Minion Quest; Bowser Jr. and Kamek encounter the bros and Starlow in Blubble Lake while they're searching for the Star Cure. Bowser Sr. is briefly seen at Cavi Cape where Bowser Jr.'s party narrowly misses him as he tries out the Chakroad. They eventually see him fighting the Tower of Yikk.

comment
Plot Hole: One occurs during Blubble Lake, where Jr. and Kamek stumble upon Mario, Luigi, and Starlow, who are busy trying to find the Star Cures. The discrepancy in this situation is the fact Jr. later encounters Bowser fighting the Tower of Yikk. At this point in time and before then, the bros. can't access Blubble Lake by themselves, as the path there is barricaded from Toad Town. Only Bowser is able to enter the lake.

The Koopa Paratroopa Trio are 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.

Armor-Piercing Question
 Bowser Jr.'s Journey (Video Game) / int_7b6e47a5
comment
Armor-Piercing Question: 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 as 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 "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.

Interface Spoiler: The list of obscured recruitable minions contain several obvious surprise additions that aren't hard to tell apart.

Continuity Nod: The four captains from the previous game return as enemies in Bowser's Castle West as the tutorial enemies. Both their bios and the Koopalings in-story mention their actions in saving Bowser. They also pull off a Big Damn Heroes moment when Junior returns to the castle, and they join Junior as normal minions afterward. Bowser Jr. still has the paintbrush he used in Super Mario Sunshine and various games afterward. It allows him to become a Ranged unit.

Poison and Cure Gambit
 Bowser Jr.'s Journey (Video Game) / int_a24bd0e9
comment
Poison and Cure Gambit: The Goombas are infected with the Blorbs. The BFF comes in with the cure, Skeletone Formula:D. The catch? They have only one dose of the cure, but are content to sell the recipe. This leads to Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings leaving the castle unattended to gather the ingredients, allowing the castle to be taken over and for the BFFs to steal the completed cure to make their brainwashing drug.

Combination Attack: Multiple minions of the same type can team up for Group Special Attacks. Depending on the attack, they might hit a single enemy several times or the entire enemy team. Larry and Lemmy also have First Officer abilities that allow them to perform special attacks with Bowser Jr.: a variant of the Green Shell Bros. Attack from the main game and Junior kicking Lemmy's ball into enemies respectively.

Brick Joke: At the start of the story, Skeletone Formula:D has a subtitle saying, "Results may vary. Not responsible for skeleton damage. Side effects include dizziness, fainting, and soggy bones." Come the epilogue, Bowser ends up eating much more than what's prescribed and turns into Dry Bowser.
