We know. Bowsette is everywhere, why can’t we let it die? The meme-hybrid sensation took over the Internet following a recent Nintendo trailer that eventually birthed an adorable fan comic. We thought that was the origins story for the Bowser x Peach hybrid, but apparently Nintendo had plans for her all along.

Japan recently got The Art of Super Mario Odyssey and it was there that a revelation occurred: Nintendo had Bowsette all along! With over 1,000 pieces of art that goes hand-in-hand with the popular Nintendo Switch game, it was one page in particular that stuck out. There, in rough sketch form, lies Bowsette in all of her Nintendo-owned glory:

@ayyk92 So concept art for Mario odyssey was released today, and Bowser had a spinning hat like Mario does, then used it on peach, creating an unreleased backwards Bowsette. What say you? pic.twitter.com/9ScsafMHZO

It’s like a weirdly colourful version of Inception and we’re not quite sure how to feel about it.
It turns out that Bowser had his own version of Cappy, Mario’s companion in Super Mario Odyssey, and it was because of this particular item that their version of Bowsette was formed. This is a very weird hole we’ve climbed into. Help us. Save us.
