Bowser in Mario Sunshine apparently was on vacation with Bowser Jr. at Delfino. Mario came at the right time and the right place to stop Bowser Jr's mucking around.
I think the only real reason the door opened a thousand years later was because.... well, it's a nice round number and Beldam's plan to bring back the Shadow Queen was finalized then. With the help of the X-Nauts technology and Mario finding all the Crystal Stars for them, it was all in perfect place.
The Koopalings and Bowser Jr. where born around the same time ( withen a couple years ) but only the Koopalings had growth excelleration. Bowser probably wanted to have a real natural child, and thus, Bowser Jr. was growing up, and was old enough to do some action in Mario Sunshine.
Since there's over 10,000 known species of mushrooms there has to be at least a few thousand in the Mario universe.
There's nothing left in the Shadow Palace anymore really ( unless you include over a thousand years of black magic/pure hate/dark power/ and bad vibes stewing around ), so it could be reinhabited by the Rogueport folk. Since the Palace used to be 1/4 of the old city, the whole thing could be magically raised up again. Mabey.
