Talk about being hot for Peach. There’s a new internet trend where Mario’s nemesis Bowser and Mario’s love interest Princess Peach combine to form one attractive-looking dragon turtle human hybrid.

So what’s up with the feature picture on this post and the Peach/Bowser wombo combo craze? Let’s go step by step.

-New Super Mario Bros U was announced and introduced Peachette, a Toad who can transform into a Princess Peach if powered up with a mushroom crown thing.

-Twitter user ayyk92, a Malaysian artist, created this alternate ending to Super Mario Odyssey.

-Pretty funny, eh? Well, this Peach/Bowser transformation was inspired by the Peachette crown power-up. This apparently got the whole of the internet in a drawing and meme-churning frenzy because the combo is quite alluring in nature…

For some reason bowser as peach has been spreading like wild fire, I don’t even know how this started… pic.twitter.com/dCc1yMVRe3

-…and eventually reached Japan, where a whole slew of artists showcased their version of this hybrid. What’s its name? Well it’s a toss-up between Bowserette, Bowsette, and Peacher. Japan’s calling her Koopa-Hime (“Princess Koopa” in English).

The regal and reptilian combo means that Koopa-Hime is the perfect hot-and-cold tsundere anime personality. Either that or a yandere complex where she’s gleefully violent while looking good being so.

Let’s see the tsundere side of Koopa-Hime.

Well done, internet. You may convince Nintendo to give in to your nonsense and create a new character that is perfectly canon in this G-rated universe.

Also, the artist who started the trend posted this regarding the bump in followers. Malaysia Boleh!

> follower count is now x100 from before this started
> bunch of artists I follow and even Dragon Maid's made fanart
> got a Know-your-meme entry
> there's a top trending tag on Japan Twitter
