I know it’s his real name, but Doug Bowser sounds like some fake shit the real Bowser would use to disguise his identity.

I really hope he was the best candidate when Nintendo were choosing a new NOA president (afiak, he's been doing a good job), but I feel his last name definitely made him stand out from the other candidates.

Maria Mario, Luigi Mansion, Supersmash Bros: Melee, Sam Aran, and Zelda Williams all were very upset.

Upset, but not surprised. Bowser has been trying to take over the kingdom for decades.
