..another giant lizard-like monster?

Queen Koopa is probably dead, which is why Bowser wants a new wife. He thinks Peach will make a suitable replacement.

Or maybe he just created them by hand (you know with the giant test-tubes, etc.)

Perhaps there were more Kooplings, but Bowser drank them by accident.

Kidding aside, if the Kooplings are clones of Bowser, then why was Wendy a girl instead of boy? Does Bowser have a feminine side? Plus, if Koopa technology is advanced enough to clone/genetically engineer children, then why do they have such a hard time killing a plumber?

Killing Mario aside, remember that clones can be very different from the parent. Somatic cell nuclear transfer, the method of cloning we're most familiar with, can easily lead to mutations. A female clone would be perfectly normal, as somatic cells probably would not contain the exact same genes as those that formed the host's egg. Speaking of which, you still need an egg for cloning to insert a nucleus.

Even so, I don't think cloning Bowser would lead to such a wide variety of personalities, postures, and hairstyles. Bowser Jr. is a likely candidate, though.

I always thought that the original Koopalings were born naturally, from an actual female Koopa. Whoever she was, she's most likely dead, which is why Bowser is looking for a new wife.

Bowser Jr., on the other hand, might actually be a clone, in the same vein as Mini-Me to Dr. Evil and Boba Fett to Jango Fett. Those Mini-Bowsers from Mario Party are probably Bowser's equivalent of the Clone Troopers.

Hey, from a couple pages ago, if a game sucks, it doesn't mean it doesn't count to continuity.
As for the Koopalings... (shrugs).

The Koopalings and Bowser Jr. might just be genetically engineered.

Super Mario Sunshine question. Is Isle Delfino in the Mushroom Kingdom? Like it may be owned by the Mushroom Kingdom.

It isn't.

But how sure are you of that fact?

Well he went on vacation didn't he?

"...to Dinosaur World for a vacation!"
