'''Baby Bowser''' is a recurring villain in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]], first appearing in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. He is [[Bowser (Mario character)|Bowser]] as an infant. To a lesser extent, Baby Bowser has also appeared in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], and is a villain in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. Baby Bowser has made cameos in other games too, such as the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
==''Yoshi'' game appearances==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
Baby Bowser and Kamek are the main antagonists of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. Baby Bowser is not seen until the end of the game, where he battles [[Yoshi]] in the playroom of Bowser's Castle. Baby Bowser attacks by Ground Pounding. Likewise, Yoshi can attack Baby Bowser by Ground Pounding him, and after doing this three times, Kamek arrives and uses his magic on Baby Bowser, who then becomes gigantic.
For the second part, Baby Bowser is fought outside the castle, slowly making his way toward Yoshi and Baby Mario. Baby Bowser can take damage from the Giant Eggs thrown by Yoshi. After a few hits, Baby Bowser returns to normal size and is defeated. He is last seen being carried away by Kamek.
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Aside from being an antagonist in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Baby Bowser can ride the Yoshis in some of the later levels, although he later betrays the Yoshis.
===''Yoshi's Story''===
Baby Bowser is also the antagonist of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. He steals not only the Super Happy Tree, the source of happiness on Yoshi's Island, but also converts the entire island into a pop-up book.
Like before, Baby Bowser is the final boss. He is fought the last room of one of his four castles: Mecha Castle, Lift Castle, Magma Castle, or Ghost Castle, depending on the player's choice. For the battle, Baby Bowser rides around on ghosts, and Yoshi can attack Baby Bowser by throwing [[Bob-omb]]s at him. In a later part of the battle, Yoshi has to fight Baby Bowser on the ground. Baby Bowser is eventually defeated, and the Yoshis recover the Super Happy Tree.
==''Mario'' game appearances==
Baby Bowser's first three appearances in the ''Mario'' franchise are only cameos. His first ''Mario'' appearance is in ''Mario Artist: Paint Studio'', where Baby Bowser is one of the character stamps. In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and later ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', an image of Baby Bowser is displayed on the "Bowser's Ship" attraction of Baby Park, though by ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', Bowser Jr. is displayed instead.
===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' is the first ''Mario'' game where Baby Bowser appears as a villain, let alone physically. He is fought as a boss twice: first in Peach's Castle during the past and later in Thwomp Caverns.
==Crossover game appearances==
===''Picross NP Vol. 2''===
In ''Picross NP Vol. 2'', Baby Bowser makes a cameo as the "L" character stamp puzzle; this predates his first appearance in a ''Mario'' game.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Baby Bowser makes a cameo as a collectible trophy.
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Baby Bowser is a spirit, and his corresponding spirit battle takes place on an Omega version of the Find Mii stage, where the player's fighter has to fight a tiny Bowser, representing Baby Bowser.
