The blog post for today will be about Bowsette. Although Bowsette isn't directly related to anime, it has become a pretty big topic. So I decided to talk about it anyways. Now then, what is Bowsette? Well, it all started with a brand new power-up in the game New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. This new power-up is called a "Super Crown", and it gives Toadette the ability to turn into Peachette. In this form, Toadette strongly resembles Princess Peach. Because of this, a comic was made where Bowser put the Super Crown on instead to transform into "Bowsette" after he and Mario were turned down by Princess Peach. After this, the internet quickly started making their own pictures and fan art of this new form of Bowser. It only took a few days for this new Bowser form to take over the internet. However, it was later revealed in an art book that Nintendo had already made their own form of "Bowsette". This form didn't turn out to look like the fan-made Bowsette though. This is most likely because the Super Crown was not used for Nintendo's version of Bowsette. But, the fans were still a bit mixed as to whether they liked the almost-official Bowsette or not. As a little bonus, I will be including pictures of the fan-made comic of Bowsette that started the trend, as well as Nintendo's official comic of Bowsette. However, I would like to mention that both comics include spoilers for the game Super Mario Odyssey. Along with this, Nintendo's comic is currently only available in Japanese. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy them!
