The original Koopalings make their debut appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3.

A Koopa Kid — also known as a Koopaling in the games, or Little Koopas according to the original translation of Super Mario Bros. 3 — is a character from the Super Mario Bros. series of video games. As far as it is known, there are eight Koopalings, all of them children of Bowser Koopa (Koopa in Japan and the American cartoon series). The first seven originally appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3.

The Koopalings are always world bosses, except for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, in which they are minibosses in Bowser's castle. Oddly for an RPG, in their appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the Koopalings never speak. In fact, their only speaking appearance in a game was in the PC version of Mario is Missing. Bowser's other child is Bowser Jr., who first appears in Super Mario Sunshine, and in later Mario spin-off games like Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and the various Mario sports games; he also appeared in the new game New Super Mario Bros..

Unused sprites of the Koopalings in Super Princess Peach

Strangely enough, unused sprites were found of the Koopalings in Super Princess Peach, indicating they were going to be in it; all of their sprites from the game have been ripped and posted on the Internet. Given that the game features many enemies originally featured in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, it is unknown why exactly the Koopalings were abandoned from the game. But it may be that the Koopalings were to be the bosses (apparently appearing in the same order as in Super Mario World and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga), but were later replaced by unique bosses.[1] Image File history File links Sppkoopalings. ...

Most of the Koopalings have wild punk hairstyles. It is said that each Koopaling was personally designed by a different member of the production staff of Super Mario Bros. 3. Explains Shigeru Miyamoto: "This is another way we give recognition to the many people who help make the games successful." [2] Nintendo did not initially name them for their debut in the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 3. In the Japanese version of Super Mario World only the kids' first names are given.

Ludwig von Koopa

Ludwig von Koopa resembles and is named after Ludwig van Beethoven, because they are both composers. (According to the in-game text of Super Mario World, Ludwig composes "Koopa symphonies".) He first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 as the boss of the seventh world, the Pipe Maze. The game's official player's guide claims that he is Bowser's "second-in-command", and he has the powers of his siblings, including multiple blasts from his wand and ground-shaking stomps. In Super Mario World, Ludwig is boss of the Twin Bridges area and is the only koopaling capable of breathing fire. He is the oldest of the Koopalings.

In the Nintendo Adventure Book "Pipe Down!", Ludwig kidnapped Princess Toadstool to be in his dance recital, but she was saved by the Mario Bros.


In the cartoon series, he was named Kooky Von Koopa and was the typical mad scientist character, inventing wicked devices for his father, Bowser, to use. The only major physical difference between Ludwig and Kooky is that Kooky has untamed hair and is significantly smaller, girth-wise.

Lemmy Koopa

Lemmy Koopa has rainbow hair, a lazy eye, and balances atop a rubber ball. He is named after Lemmy from the band Motörhead. In Super Mario Bros. 3, Lemmy was the boss of the sixth world, Ice Land. In Super Mario World, Mario fought him in the subterranean Vanilla Dome area. In Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, Lemmy's fighting style matched that of his sister, Wendy, except he threw rubber balls instead of rings. In Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, he was the third Koopaling to fight Mario and Luigi. He is known to rely on gadgets and trickery. He is the second oldest of the Koopalings.

In the cartoons he was named Hip Koopa and was often seen with his brother Hop (Iggy). The two of them shared most of their sentences (à la Donald Duck's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie) and were usually seen pulling pranks. There are two major differences between Lemmy and Hip: Hip's hair is far thinner, and he has an overbite. Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck are a trio of fictional ducks who appear in animated cartoons and comic books published by the Walt Disney Company. ...


In the comic books, Lemmy was quite stupid but could somehow understand Larry's picture-only dialogue. He was also a fan of Mario's favorite comic book superhero, Dirk Drain-Head.

Roy Koopa

Roy Koopa is the boss of Sky Land in Super Mario Bros. 3 and boss of the Forest of Illusion in Super Mario World. In both games, his trademark attack is a ground-shaking stomp to the ground, which paralyzes Mario for a few seconds, leaving him open to an attack from the Koopaling. Roy is the rowdiest Koopaling and the third oldest. Roy Koopa is named after Roy Orbison. Image File history File links Roy Bully Koopa. ... Mario ) is a popular video game character created by the company Nintendo, and is also the titular hero of numerous successful video games, many of the platforming genre. ... Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988), nicknamed The Big O, was an influential American singer-songwriter and a pioneer of rock and roll whose recording career spanned more than four decades. ...


In the cartoons, he was named Bully Koopa, and he acted according to what his name implied. Roy spoke with a gruff Brooklyn accent. Bully was usually seen beating up on his siblings, usually Big Mouth (Morton) when he talked too much. Names aside, Roy does not seem to have any significant differences from his cartoon counterpart other than girth, as usual.


The comic books, however, did not carry the accent trait over, because Roy spoke in a standard English dialect in his one major Nintendo Comics System appearance. Incidentally, in the comics, it was revealed that he had a pet rabbit named Pookie.

Iggy Koopa

Iggy Koopa is bespectacled, somewhat crazed, inventor of the Koopa's machinery, and has colored hair. The three colors (yellow, blue, and pink) repeat. He is the boss of Giant Land in Super Mario Bros. 3, and he faces Mario on the Yoshi's Island area of Super Mario World. He is the fourth oldest of the Koopalings. Iggy is named after Iggy Pop of The Stooges. Image File history File links IggyKoopa. ... James Newell Osterberg, Jr. ... The Stooges are an American rock band that was first active from about 1967 to 1974, and then reformed in 2003. ...


The artwork for Super Mario Bros. 3 portrayed Iggy with green eyes, but some later depictions (including the artwork of Super Mario World) show him with eyes that are swirls instead, possibly to indicate his eccentric personality (this is a common anime/manga convention for eccentrics). Incidentally, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga used the original eye design. Iggy is responsible for inventing the robots that the Koopalings use in Yoshi's Safari. His skills as an inventor are also on display in the Nintendo Adventure Books based on the games. Book #1: Double Trouble The Nintendo Adventure Book series was published from 1991 to 1992 by Archway books. ...


In the cartoons, he was called Hop Koopa (Lemmy, his brother, was named Hip, a play on the urban music genre hip hop). Hop's overbite and swirling eyes are the only significant ways in which he differs from Iggy.


In the Super Mario Bros. movie, one of King Koopa's cousins is named Iggy.

Wendy O. Koopa

Wendy O. Koopa is the only female Koopaling. In Super Mario Bros. 3, she is the boss of Water Land, where she hops about her cabin (in high heels) and throws candy rings at Mario that bounce around the room. In Super Mario World, she is the boss of Chocolate Island, where she attempts to confuse Mario by emerging from various pipes along with two fake Wendy dolls. She is thought to be a singer (as implied by the in-game text of Super Mario World, as well as the similarity between her name and that of punk singer Wendy O. Williams of The Plasmatics), and, in Hotel Mario, she is shown having a quick temper, and is so clingy with money and luxury that she set false coins ("Wendy's Pennies") to stop Mario's advance. She is the fifth oldest of the Koopalings. Image File history File links This file has been listed on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. ... High-heeled shoes are shoes where the heel of the wearers foot is raised to be significantly higher than their toes. ... Wendy O. Williams Wendy Orlean Williams (May 28, 1949 – April 6, 1998), better known as Wendy O. Williams, was the lead singer for the punk band the Plasmatics, whose stage theatrics included blowing-up equipment, near nudity and chain-sawing guitars. ... The Plasmatics were an American punk band, formed by Yale graduate and radical anti-artist Rod Swenson, around the late Wendy O. Williams. ...


In the cartoons, she was named Kootie Pie Koopa (a portmanteau of "Koopa" and "cutie pie"), was apparently sixteen years old, and often whined about everything. Frequently, Koopa would execute his schemes just to keep Kootie Pie pleased. She also displayed some sort of animosity or even envy towards Princess Toadstool (as Princess Peach was called in North American until the late 1990s). There is little physical difference between Wendy and Kootie Pie. The only differences that really stand out are that Kootie Pie's bow is more pointy and she has two fangs sticking out of her mouth. Kootie Pie also has a smaller bow on her tail. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... A spoiled brat (alternatively spelled spoilt brat in British English) is a child whose parents or other educators systematically fail to teach socially acceptable behavior and discipline. ...


Other than Lemmy, Wendy is the only Koopaling to appear in her own story in the comic books.


Wendy also played a prominent part in the Super Mario Adventures comic serial that ran in Nintendo Power in 1992. There, she continually matches wits with Princess Toadstool. Wendy is the de facto leader of the Koopalings in this comic, and stands out among her siblings, who are all portrayed with more or less identical personalities. This article or section contains a plot summary that may be overly long, confusing, or ambiguous. ... Nintendo Power magazine is a monthly American news and strategy magazine from Nintendo. ...


Wendy is one of the first Nintendo characters to distinguish herself as female by wearing a bow on her hairless head, and the first to do so in a game. Other female characters who wear a bow include Birdo, who wears a similar bow on her head, Lady Bow from Paper Mario, who wears a smaller bow on each side of her head, and Candy Kong, who wears a bow in Donkey Kong Country, but not in any other games. A bow, meaning a sort of knot, can mean:- See rosette (decoration). ... This article or section is not written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. ...

She is considered the first villainess in a Mario game, excluding the mini-boss Birdo who appears in the American version of "Super Mario Bros. 2," a game that took most elements from the 1987 game "Dream Factory: Doki Doki Panic."


Morton Koopa Jr.

Morton Koopa Jr. is the boss of Desert Land and the Donut Plains in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World respectively. Morton is depicted as the 'average' Koopaling, usually containing no noteworthy special abilities or quirks. He is the sixth oldest of the Koopalings. Image File history File links Morton Big Mouth Koopa Jr. ...


In the cartoons he was named Big Mouth Koopa, ostensibly because he was more talk than action, and which also was based on one-time talk show host/singer Morton Downey Jr., whose entire theme was his admittedly big mouth. His show's logo was a large open mouth, which Morton/Big Mouth Koopa's design even resembled. Aptly, in the Super Mario World cartoon, he occasionally served as an announcer (until an annoyed sibling or Koopa would stop him when he talked too much). There are a few physical differences between Morton and Big Mouth: Morton's shell is gray and Big Mouth's is purple; Big Mouth has much larger eyes and purple eyelids; and the star-shaped birthmark (a possible reference to Paul Stanley from the band KISS) on Morton's face is darker around the cheek, while it's just one solid color on Big Mouth. Morton Jr. is also much larger than Big Mouth. Morton Downey, Jr. ... A birthmark is a blemish on the skin formed before birth. ... Stanley Harvey Eisen (born January 20, 1952, Manhattan, New York) aka Paul Stanley, is an American Hard rock guitarist and vocalist for the rock band KISS.

Kiss (sometimes typeset KISS, to fit the official logo) is an American rock band formed in New York City in 1973. ...


Morton is the only Koopaling to sport a gray shell. Roy and Wendy's shells are pink and the others all have green shells, but no explanation for Morton's unique markings has ever been given.




Larry Koopa

Larry Koopa is the second youngest of the Koopalings. He is the first boss Mario faces in Grass Land of Super Mario Bros. 3, but shows up in the last stage of Super Mario World, the Valley of Bowser. He is also the final Koopaling battled in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The game additionally reveals Larry to be a master at tennis, and carries a tennis racket during battles. Even though he loves tennis, he does not appear in any Mario Tennis games. The sport-like aspect of him was first seen in Hotel Mario, where he used bombs as bowling balls to attack. Image File history File links Larry Cheatsy Koopa. ... A tennis net Tennis is a game played between either two players (singles) or two teams of two players (doubles). Players use a stringed racquet to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponents court. ...


In the cartoons, he was named Cheatsy Koopa and was usually scheming up Koopa's next plan, sometimes with Kooky, or even scheming against their father in one episode. Besides the change in hair color, there are several physical differences between Larry and Cheatsy: Larry's hair is pointed upwards but Cheatsy's hair was flatter and much more untamed; Cheatsy was almost always seen squinting and was given an overbite.


In the comic books published by Valiant, Larry did not speak English; instead, his dialogue balloons contained various pictures. Only Lemmy was able to understand him.

Gadd. He has since then appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Superstar Baseball, and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, the last of which inexplicably features his alter ego, Shadow Mario, as well.

While these three can compete with the player in mini-games in Mario Party 5 and 6, only the original Koopa Kid has ever been playable. Normally, that is, as the others could also be made playable via the debug menu (only in Mario Party 5 and 6).
