The Mario character who got deleted

Video Description

Have you heard of Koopa Kid? This obscure Mario character was introduced in the late 90s, before rising to prominence a few years later. But after 2005, Nintendo totally deleted this character, completely replacing him with Bowser Jr. So in this video I want to look at who Koopa Kid is, why he was created, and most importantly, why Nintendo got rid of him!
