What do you mean "it was revealed that they aren't Bowser's children"?

I seem to remember hearing that Zazz appeared in Sonic Boom as well, probably coz he's most popular

To the Eggman Nega thing, he appeared as a rival in the other Mario & Sonics. Also, Blaze is popular (to the point of being playable in all the Mario & Sonics and the free races of Sonic Riders Zero Gravity), and the only three mainstream games she's playable in are Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). Sonic 06 of course has a horrible reputation, which leaves Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure, and guess who the main villain of both of them is (besides Eggman)? Eggman Nega. He's also in both Sonic Rivals, but they seem less well-known, plus he's usually disguised as Eggman in front of Sonic and Knuckles's teams They're not his kids anymore. The comics and the TV shows called them his kids and Nintendo never said anything against it but then they had an interview with Miyamoto in 2012 (I think) and he said that they never were Bowser's children, just regular minions. Fans were very upset because of all the speculations and ideas for fanfictions he crushed. However, the recently released "Mario&Luigi: Paper Jam Bros" hints that the Koopalings were raised by Bowser because one of them accidently calls him "father" after being defeated but then corrects himself and says "Master Bowser" instead.

Zzazz is in Sonic Dash and Sonic Runners, not Sonic Boom as far as I know but if he is, please keep him there. I guess he's the most popular because he's the first one of the Deadly Six that you face. Maybe it's because he's the closest to having an actual personality. Or maybe it's because there's a Pokémon glitch of the same name.

Come on, if they have Dry Bowser they might as well have Eggman Nega as the Sonic opposite of him. At least he and Eggman aren't the same person.
