The Koopalings are NOT Bowser's Children.

Clearly you don't read much fanfiction. The fact that the actual series doesn't talk about it all just gives fans free-range to come up with tonnes of ideas.

If any of them are offspring, the mother either died, divorced, disappeared without explanation, was only in the picture for breeding anyway, or is still around and just doesn't show up in games (older fanworks had the marriage be a loving one, but after Bowser's crush became more pronounced in the series, it's often just a political, unloving marriage).

Fanfiction involves more intricate stories than official ones, so asking for simple answers could be more reasonable. Officially the discussion of Koopalings is ended if they're simply minions.

To explain "children", Bowser's marriage mystery has to be solved first. I personally think unmarried pregnancy, divorcement, cheats on someone things aren't possible, if Nintendo have to make the story understandable and acceptable for all ages.

I'm pretty sure "Morton Koopa Jr." is named so since he is based off of a musician, no more, no less.

He was based off of 80's talk show host Morton Downey Jr. who's logo was a big "Loud Mouth" printed on the podiums, which the Koopaling's big mouth even resembles a bit.

I too think they have messed up the whole Marioverse canon (including Donkey Kong) with these theories.

Morton Downey Jr. was also a musician.

There was a post. It was deleted
 
If Miyamoto said that the Koopalings are not Bowser's children in a GameInformer interview, why do we need to make all those changes on the Wiki?

He also said that Yoshi's Island is part of the main series (in the same interview) and the Wiki community does not want to consider it?

Well let's just decide how we want to depict them. I'm just gonna say that Bowser disowned 99% of his children.

Let's all agree on this.
