Oh sweetheart, we're royalty

The completed designs of Bowser and Bowsette's parents, Bruce Koopa and Coco Koopa! :) Some info on the two for anyone curious!

The Koopa royalty before Bowser ascended to the throne. They're known for being charismatic and eccentric. They're the kind of high profile couple who become the life of the party wherever they go, though that... isn't necessarily a good thing.

Coco Koopa (name inspired by Coco Chanel) is very much into fashion and struck up her own line while still queen. The moment she (eagerly) stepped away officially from that responsibility, she dove even deeper into the fashion industry. She’s the type to produce super tacky clothing that only vain rich people buy, not with the idea of looking good, but with the idea of making a status statement. Vain and rather full of herself, Coco loves gossip, the finest wine money can buy, and is very much the type to make jabs disguised as compliments.

Bruce Koopa (name inspired by Bruce Hornsby) is a music snob, the type to think only classical music is real music, and really enjoys playing piano. Like his wife, the moment he (just as eagerly) officially dropped his title as King onto his son, he pursued a career in music development. Only he no longer actually makes the music and instead works as a contracting entity. He likes to say “oh sweetheart, I bring glory to musicians. And I can just as easily steal it away.”

He’s actually where Bowsette initially found her love for music and, in the scant few times he’s shown to have some semblance of care for his kid, played his piano for her. Now all he does is berate Bowsette for her “gaudy music taste” and bugs her about signing with him instead of pursuing her “frivolous rock fantasy.”
