It looks like Nintendo came up with Bowsette before the internet did
Unless you've been living under a rock this past week, you'll have seen Bowsette during your internet travels.
Bowsette, as the internet has named her, is a character merge inspired by the idea of Bowser using the Super Crown from New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe to transform into a Peach version. She appears to have originated from the work of artist aykk92, who sketched an amusing comic strip imagining a spurned Mario and Bowser finding love using the Super Crown. To say the internet took this idea and ran with it is an understatement.
Now, it looks like Nintendo may have come up with Bowsette first. The book, The art of Super Mario Odyssey, just came out in Japan, and inside is what looks like an image of Bowsette (thanks, Eventhubs).
