Talk:Bowser Jr. VS Metal Sonic/@comment-27389401-20180207140900/@comment-26153757-20180708211436

That's BS, Bowser Jr in his Shadow Mario form hasn't shown ANY displays of actual power. Just because he polluted an entire island and can create magic portals doesn't make him powerful, he is just using the magical abilities of the brush which can create portals to new areas. If Shadow Mario is so absurdly powerful then why can't he just use some kind of OP magic to utterly obliterate Mario instead of running away like a coward? Yeah, I get he's weak to water but if he is so powerful surely he would have a way to work around it and destroy Mario. The bottom line is Shadow Mario has NOT shown any displays of destructive potential or power because he has NEVER even FOUGHT anyone. In Super Mario Sunshine all he does is run away from Mario like a coward and in the Super Mario Galaxy games literally all he does is challenge Mario to race multiple times. He never actually fought Mario.
