The Koopalings are NOT Bowser's Children.

In other words, tl;dr the damn post
 
tl;dr version: RL genetics can be used to explain how the Koopalings could all look so different from each other and from Bowser and Junior, yet still be one big happy family.

And then I went through specific genotypes that can explain the hair, eye, head and shell colouration.

Being a science nerd, I actually went and worked out the colouration genotypes of the Koopalings and their parents ages ago...

Made me think of your article about Koopa-evelution in The 'Shroom.

It is pretty similar in spirit... If they ask me to do another article, maybe it should be on Koopa pedigree analysis, lol

It's still to be determined. Without information, generally from lookings they might be simply important minions around Bowser, or at least orphans that was raised and trained by Bowser's troop.
 
Actually, it has been determined that originally they were his kids, then Nintendo didn't really talk about it anymore, and now their current story is that they're unrelated.

This was just a thought exercise.
 
no one knows who the koopalins mom is, and no one knows who mario and luigis mom is. that means the koopalins and mario and luigi are all related!!

That means Wario and Baby Luigi are related for having two eyes, two legs, and a nose

But your logic is horribly flawed. Just saying.
