Nintendo fans are splicing Bowser with Peach and now Bowsette is trending
Last week, a new item for New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was unveiled which created a brand new character in Mario lore. The power-up, called the Super Crown, appears to transform Toadette into a Princess Peach fusion called Peachette - and understandably, many Nintendo fans were utterly flummoxed. Is Peachette an entirely new character that only appears with the crown? Or is the crown able to transform any Mario character into a Peach version?
Until yesterday, I naively thought this was the end of the debate, until I spotted a strange new fan creation appear on my Twitter feed. At first glance, it looked like Peach - same hair, a dress, that cutesy Mario art style. But on closer inspection, I noticed some things seemed a little off. Horns, spikes, a tail?
Bowsette, as the internet has named her, is a character merge inspired by the idea of Bowser using the Super Crown 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.
