Shigeru Miyamoto Buries Several Mario Myths, Including the Identity of Bowser Jr.'s Mother

"Who is Bowser Jr.'s mother?"

Many of us racked our heads over the baby lizard. In fact, for the longest time, game theorists pinpointed the answer to be Princess Peach. But some of us just weren't satisfied, though most of us accept Peach as the true answer. After all, she probably developed Stockholm Syndrome--Why the hell would she keep being kidnapped, after all? But Shigeru Miyamoto has kindly opened his lips--knowing the truth--to reveal the actual mother. Here we are sitting with our bodies leaning forward, eyes wide open, breaths held, as the question pops up on the screen: "Do you know who Bowser Jr.'s mother is?"

He reveals the mother with a simple nod, revealing the truth with a single finger point... to himself. "Princess Peach, you are NOT the mother." Instead, Miyamoto is. Don't question it, just accept the fact that he gave birth to Bowser Jr. When? Don't ask about that either. Accept it!

Though we can't find the official YouTube video at the moment, you can refer to this Nintendo of Europe Tweet (with the embedded video) here.
