Random: Nintendo Confirms Only Toadette Can Wear The Super Crown, Bowsette Officially Debunked

“Sorry Luigi”

Why sorry to Luigi? Has he expressed an interest in dressing like Peach?

Oh wait, Nintendo Power Mario World comic.... yeah, totally did.

And I still want Peach in Luigi’s outfit to reappear.

@Roam85 Don't forget Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga had that happen, Luigi dressing up as Peach, anyway.

it is canon that Luigi is a Queen.
get on it, deviantart.

I didn't know that Luigi likes to cross-dress.

@G-Boy "That's Mama Luigi to you!"

I refuse to accept this.

Again, weird year given the appearance of Omelette and Bowsette.

At least there's Cat Bowser.

I give it a week before some hacks her in.

@CharlieSmile

Well duh, Peach and Daisy are princesses, not queens. Luigi on the other hand....

Literally nobody thought Bowsette would appear in any official Nintendo title, so there’s nothing really to debunk. Not gonna stop fans from doing what they want though. 😂

Also dang, Nintendo just called out Luigi!

@RushDawg long live the queen

@CharlieSmile Luigi: always the Queen, never the King.

I checked Nintendo Life while playing World of Light as Bowser... maybe I should change characters 🤔

(A bit off-topic, but a very good Spirit team for world of light that can win most fights in a few seconds is Bowser with Medusa (Kid Icarus Uprising) and Mythra equipped! Just spam Smash attacks and watch the magic happen)

DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS NINTENDO. MY EYES DONT NEED THIS RIGHT NOW

@NoxAeturnus You say that like it's a bad thing.

Preorder cancelled

This story = non-canon

I don't see anything debunked here. Just Nintendo saying in this game, only Toadette can use it.

Looks like NL reported something without actually thinking about it before they started typing.

The name Bowsette always drives me nuts. It’s a fusion of Bowser and Toadette, not Bowser and Peach. If “Bowsette” were a thing, she would look nothing like the fan art. She would be a stubby, mushroom-capped pink Bowser.

So this is confirmation

Forget Bowsette. She is not an official character, thus she does not exist. This is getting ridiculous.

@thesilverbrick Indeed. A Peach like Bowser would actually be a Peawer.

The Bowsette begging needs to stop!

This left Nintendo's hands a long time ago.

I totally called it. Bowsette's ain't nothing but a meme

Strange how Nintendo doesn’t want to turn their successful family entertainment into pornography....

For the best, Nintendo doesn't seem to care about fan memes and rightfully so. Plus it's fine for Toadette to have her own exclusive power-up.

And in the off chance we ever did get a Bowsette in a game she'd probably look more like an older Wendy Koopa and not some gal from a hentai doujin. XD

Good, both Bowsette and King Teresa Hime are abominations of the fandom of the Super Mario franchise.

@Thoughts @BlackenedHalo @MarioLover92 @IHateTombs That's not how the internet works.

@MrGawain they already had the whole love hotel phase back in the 60s. Just think, there might be some 50 something year old dude whose currently playing on a switch blissfully unaware that 9 months prior to his birth his parents stayed in a Nintendo love hotel

Thats good since it never made sense in the first place. Bowsette = Bowser + Todette...

I remember Regie saying that Nintendo was very adamant about controlling the direction their IP took as the reason to why they shut down Another Metroid 2 Remake.

This is kind of similar. However, they wood be wise to create a female bowser at some point, it's obvious there is an audience.

@thesilverbrick This is a really good point that I didn't even notice until just now. Sinbad also didn't star as a genie in a movie called Shazam. My whole life is a lie.

Bowch? Peachzer? Bowseach? Powser? Now I'm thinking too hard about this...

@Mayor_Haggar that's it. I doubt they would over sexualize her like the internet did, but it wouldn't do any harm to retain some family-appropiate sex-appeal just to keep the fan base dreaming.

They’re joking about Luigi probably because of his special super luigi u game where mario isn’t in it so he can’t wear it

@Greator Thats not how the internet works you are required to ruin others people fun.
but seriously people complaining about a meme are the worst kind of spergs.

The twitter user you credit for the header image doesn't appear to be an artist of any sort. I doubt they are the copyright holder for the image.

I am amused how this tidbit blows up in fan reaction.

But assuming the internet would give up on Bowsette cause some canon reason is also very entertaining. All this did is antagonize a "Luigette" and not the other way around.

Bowsette was never bunked. Pretty sure everyone knew it was fan character.

@Steel76 Queen Luigi.

Ahahahaha... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!

Ahhh... I'm a jerk. ^^;

That's ok Luigi. There's always Super Mario Adventures.

@CharlieSmile Isn't it?

Not everyone is a twenty-something mental case on a taxpayer-funded HRT regimen in California, brother.

Don’t worry d00dz this is still cannon:

Perfect romance does exist.

Keep the dream alive.

Was expecting this but still find it a bit sad. Sometimes you should just run with an idea if possible. I mean bowser has used Mario power up before ,and tricking that lousy plummer into thinking he saved peach only for it to be him.

GOOD. Bowsette is creepy AF, and made more so by the weirdos that want her to 'happen' lol.

Okay, i still have a question about Crown. 🤔
If we play together (let's say other player choose Toadette), when Toadette hits the [ ? ] block :
1. Will we still get a Crown for Toadette ?
2. If there is a Crown, will other character have No Effect when they touch the Crown ?

BOO they ruined such a Great and Weird Idea that was BRILLIANT!

(and I bet their will still be fan art with Bowsette and the others heheheh).

Random newspiece: 20something "News editor" bloke on a Nintendo site, posts information about Toadette, to cash on on the Bowsette craze. Wow what groundbreaking news. Still waiting on Puzzle Bubble 2 game you said was out same time as Puzzle Bubble. Try harder, Tabloid Ryan!

I hope this ends this whole thing.... I am over it

@Greator Well said.

@Maxz
LOL
Handsome muscular Tingle. 😆

You can't kill Bowsette. She's a bigger internet star in the minds of the people than Toadette will ever be.

While the internet exploded over the concept of Bowsette, I was thinking in another direction-- If Toadette only needs to put on the Super Crown to become as humanly defined as Peach, does it stand to logic that Peach as we know it became what she was because she put on her crown? We "have" seen her without the crown (though I have to check the canon of such images), but assuming she canonically never took off the crown, doing so should revert her to a "Toad" herself. Mario theorists, your take please...

Bowsette confirmed as 4th DLC fighter

Pretty sure no one though it would be canon.
Fan art will still flow in.

But...why did Nintendo specifically call out Luigi? 🤔

Which just means to me that Bowsette is a separate, fan-made character. Which is for the best. It's just another take on the "evil Peach" ideas I've seen in fan art for years.

come on nintendo make me an official character from another universe.

@Roam85 he also dressed up as peach in mario and luigi.

Nintendo can't stop r34

good.
no cosplay mashup should become canon.

100% agree with Nintendo on this.

I have no problem admitting that at this point I'm only perpetuating Bowsette love to annoy the people who feel the need to call Bowsette fans freaks.

Also, long live Queen Luigi. I'm sure there's a reason the final track in every Mario Kart is Rainbow Road.

@Maxz : Tingle for Smash!

But knowing Nintendo, they'd sooner give us a fourth Link, third Zelda, fourth Samus, fourth Marth, or a third Mario (in a kart or a pram).

Since when has an official statement from Nintendo on the canonicity of one of their franchises ever stopped fans from making up their own alternate canons?

Heck, I've done that. Currently trying to write a fanfic centered around that one ending from "Star Fox: Command," where Krystal becomes a bounty hunter named Kursed. Yeah, it's been done before, but I'd like to add my own spin on it. And there ain't anything wrong with that.

@Silly_G I hope they do, I was so bummed to see Link's Awakening DX Link get the shaft.

REALLY? Bowsette was promising.

This doesn't change anything. If artists wanted, they could continue making the same fan art with their own character specific crowns and no longer give attention to the Super Crown and ultimately the port. I hope that description spreads around and inspires another flood of fan art without the Super Crown.

I refuse to accept this. Nope. Denied.

As if that's going to stop her, her craze might have calmed down but I see new fanart of her frequently on Pixiv.

Bowsette!! Come one Nintendoooo let make it happen.

@Lizuka @MeloMan she could technically hide her crown under the hats, but at least one of Peach's Odyssey outfits does not have the crown or a hat, her beach outfit.

Shame. Bowsette speaks to me in all kinds of... ways.

Nice clickbait title but this is just a game mechanic, if luigi grabs it he gets coins. Nowhere does it imply bowsette.

@SBandy There’s a sizable area between “Bowsette is the greatest thing since sliced bread” and “Everybody who likes Bowsette is a freak and should be ashamed of existing” though...

The reason the meme exists and why it is so funny, is largely because of how stupid (and frankly, lazy) the idea of Toadette and the Super Crown is. The meme takes the mick out of the idea, while also serving the purpose to make Nintendo regret ever including it, and perhaps to try harder with their Mario 'lore' next time.

Why do so many of you think this is Nintendo trying to reject the Bowsette concept specifically?
Didn't we already know that only Toadette uses the Super Crown? It's just a gimmick to fit a Peach in the game even though the real Peach is meant to be captive. You guys are reading into this way too much.
And acting like Nintendo didn't already have a concept for Bowser possessing Peach, wouldn't be the first time Peach got possessed either. Remember Paper Mario: TTYD?
It's fine to me whether it happens or not, but there's a still a chance that Nintendo will have Bowser or some other creature possessing Peach again.

@MysticX

I agree.

@CharlieSmile The Queen's a queen.

Like that'll stop them

Good thing they stopped it before it got too out of hand.

Bowsette isn't canon anyway

@SBandy Stop hating on people who are just having fun. These fans are making their own art and fanfiction, and what are you doing? At least they're contributing something to society.

I've known about this for years, and am reminded of it once more, but... A lot of Nintendo Life commenters are EXTREMELY prudish. As in a suffocatingly Puritan level of prudish.

@SBandy They're making art. Art that other fans are then using as their online avatars. That's how they're contributing to society. If some of my art were ever floating about the internet and being used as someone's temporary identity, I'd be pretty happy about that.

@SBandy Because it makes some people happy. Or at least they get a chuckle. If you don't like it, you have a right to not like it. Just don't call them freaks. They're regular people who just want to make fanart about a fake Nintendo character. Even if it is sexually motivated, that's their prerogative.

@SBandy Because to call someone out for such an trivial hobby as an "freak" isn't an "viewpoint" but moreover an Insult and in my opinion kinda misantrophic.

Your whole Attitude reflects more on your behaviour than some Fanart / Fanfic for an Fan-Character... and y'know "You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glasshouse".

#back to topic:
Well, i didn't like Bowsette to begin with and i didn't expect it anyway for her to get Canon.

@TheLightningYu

Edit: In hindsight, based on what you and others have said I accept it is overly harsh to call people freaks so I have deleted my other posts and edited this one.

I still think the whole Bowsette thing is weird and people are going way, way too far with it.

Isn't this pretty old news now? It seemed to be common knowledge for a while now that the way the crown works for Bowsette would not work the same way in-game, and it was all but confirmed to be for Toadette only.

I don't really understand the point of the article.

@SBandy You know how allergic reactions work, right? The body releases an inappropriately excessive amount of histamines in response to memory cell messages overreacting about an allergen, which can potentially cause self-destructive damage to the body.

That's what your posts here all were. A gratuitously severe overreaction to something that is relatively harmless, and of which would not significantly affect you except for the fact that you let it be so.

@PlywoodStick

That is a whole lot of effort to try and sound smart.

@SBandy I participate in the Twitch Creative community, some of whom contributed their own take on Bowsette, Boosette, etc. It's true that some people choose to sexualize characters of their own accord, but that's nothing new. The vast majority of artists and their groups genuinely just added in their take to have fun with it. You know... like a fan community. It's a normal type of activity. Yet you accuse such people as being aberrant degenerates. The only thing truly aberrant here is your behavior. Next time, think about how your words impacts others.

@PlywoodStick

If you look at the comments you will see I have deleted my posts as I accept I was being over the top and it wasn't fair of me to pigeon hole everyone.

Doesn't take away the fact that your initial reaction was to pigeon hole a lot of people as extremely prudish though so maybe you could try and practice what you preach.

@SBandy Just calling it as I see it, based on other comments and their likes...

@PlywoodStick

So you are a hypocrite. Fair enough.

@SBandy Sigh... There's a key difference here which you don't seem to have noticed. When I see comments like #30, #48, #56, and #57... Yes, my reaction is to compare those commenters to people who have a kneejerk fear of sexuality, to highlight how ridiculous their own reactions are. (Notice how #48 did the same thing as you, referring to artists and others as freaks.) I actually witnessed others making such comments before calling them prudish.

Did you actually go out to streams and such to witness artists' and others' behavior, and hear their thought processes behind their take on this meme, before coming to a conclusion that they're freaks? If you had, and it had been so, then you would have had a basis for saying so. But you didn't do that, right? You just assumed it was so before passing judgment.

You can delete the comments you made, but you can't undo the sentiment behind them.

@PlywoodStick

I did not just delete the comments I conceded my position and accepted I was being over the top.

I can see my flaws and try to rectify them but I guess you are just perfect.

_{Mind your language - Octane}

@SBandy Perhaps you're correct that it would have been better for me to stay quiet and not out myself as a fool. Maybe that's "the right thing to do." However, after you tell me things like, "It is not prudish at all to think this is weird and the people doing so are freaks...and could probably do with getting a life"? No, no, no. Having been acquainted for the past several months with some of those people who you repeatedly called "freaks," I decided to give you a piece of my mind. That's all there is to it.

@PlywoodStick

Well, I softened my views and realised I was wrong to label people as freaks.

But know this, it wasn't because of anything you said, I think you are a grade A pratt.

@SBandy Coming from you, that namesake is a veritable badge of honor...

Too bad not like I didn’t know it wasn’t going to happen, but she’s definitely one of my favorite things to come out of 2018. So much fun was had with this character. Hope the fan art and fanfic community keeps her around for years to come.

Bowsette would be broken. If she breaths fire, that probably means a instant kill. (In those places of the internet ...)

I'm actually glad they settled this, I was never really into Bowsette myself. According to Fan-Art, Bowsette is just Bowser after putting the Super Crown on his head, and if you think about it, Bowsette is technically still a boy even though she's now a Queen Koopa. I was feeling uncomfortable with Bowsette.

I honestly love Toadette better anyway, so the fact that only SHE can wear the Super Crown, works a lot better to me. Even though Nintendo once said that Toads are genderless, Toadette is technically still a girl whether she's wearing the Super Crown or not. I feel more comfortable with Peachette instead of Bowsette.

So that's my opinion, Peachette > Bowsette.

Bowsette is no longer a thing, it's now officially a dead meme.
