- —Koopalings,Super Mario Bros. 3 instruction booklet
TheKoopalings, also known asBowser's Minions in the British English versions of some games, and in certain American works as theKoopa Kids, are a seven-member clan of recurring enemies in theSuper Mario franchise, portrayed as siblings[1][2] who act as leaders ofBowser's Minions underBowser. Individually, they are namedLarry,Morton,Wendy,Iggy,Roy,Lemmy, andLudwig. AlthoughBowser Jr. is not a member of the Koopalings, they sometimes act as his personal minions, and he is often seen accompanying them.
The Koopalings debuted inSuper Mario Bros. 3, and they later appeared as bosses in variousSNES-era games of theSuper Mario franchise before going on a long hiatus, reappearing once in 2003'sMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and then being redesigned for 2009'sNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, which has since been followed by numerous appearances as both bosses in the platformers of theSuper Mario series and playable characters in various spinoffs. They have also appeared in various other media, including the cartoonThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, which featured entirely different names for the characters due to them not having official names at the time of its production phase.
Originally, the Koopalings were depicted as Bowser's children[3][4][5][6][7] and stated to be his offspring.[8][9][10][11][12] Older games continue to maintain them as his children in re-releases and updated manuals.[13][14][15][16][17] However,Shigeru Miyamoto eventually affirmed thatNintendo's "current story is that the Koopalings are not Bowser's children" in 2012, leaving the Koopalings as his underlings and Bowser Jr. as his only child.[18]
Members
The Koopalings are listed below in their original order:
| Larry Koopa | Larry Koopa is the youngest Koopaling who is often seen at the forefront of the Koopalings' antics, and he wields the orangemagic wand. His main color representation is sky blue, although his shell was originally colored green, his hair was white in early sprites, and he lacked the small star on the side of his face. There issome confusion over the identity of Larry's namesake; the most recent official statement from his christener, Nintendo of America employeeDayvv Brooks, is that Larry was named as such because he simply "looked like a Larry," though Brooks had previously stated that Larry's name was derived fromLarry Mullen Jr., the drummer for the Irish rock bandU2. He was also known as "Cheatsy" in the cartoons, alluding to the fact that he will try to win by any means, legitimate or otherwise. He seems to have an interest in sports, such as how he plays tennis with afireball inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. In theNintendo Comics System, he communicated via pictures in word bubbles, which only Lemmy understood. |
| Morton Koopa Jr. | Morton Koopa Jr. is the only Koopaling to have a brown skin tone and is often depicted as the largest Koopaling, wielding the red magic wand. His main color representation is black, although his shell was colored green, his skin was yellow inSuper Mario World, and he lacked the distinctive star on his face in his early in-game sprites. He is named after the American tabloid talk show presenterMorton Downey, Jr. He was also known as "Big Mouth" in the cartoons, due to his talkative nature, and often talks for long amounts of time, only to be stopped by another character, most often one of his siblings. In other appearances, he seems to be rather grouchy, with brutal strength to match. Morton's level of intelligence is portrayed inconsistently; sometimes he is shown to be quite slow-witted, but in other games, he possesses a more cunning side. |
| Wendy O. Koopa | Wendy O. Koopa is the sole female Koopaling; she wields the purple magic wand. Her main color representation is pink, although her shell was a shade of deep red inSuper Mario World. She is named afterWendy O. Williams, an American singer and frontwoman of the punk rock bandthe Plasmatics. She was also known as "Kootie Pie" in the cartoons and was considered a spoiled brat with a quick temper, often going into a rage over little things. She is stated to be tomboyish, and seemed to act as the de facto boss inSuper Mario Adventures. |
| Iggy Koopa | Iggy Koopa is a hyperactive, demented, and unpredictable Koopaling who wields the yellow magic wand. His main choice of color is yellow-green, although his shell was colored blue in early sprites and his hair was white inSuper Mario World; beforeNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, his hair was also similar to Lemmy's. He is named afterIggy Pop, an American rock musician and frontman of the proto-punk bandthe Stooges. He was also known as "Hop" in the cartoons and is the twin brother of Hip (Lemmy); together, they are among the youngest members of the family. He was just as childish and immature as his brother in the cartoon series, whereas in theNintendo Adventure Books he was depicted as a brilliant (if crazed) inventor; this has possibly been hinted at inNew Super Mario Bros. U, where the inside of his ship is mechanical rather than wooden. |
| Roy Koopa | Roy Koopa's head and sunglasses are pink (as was his shell originally), and he wields the black magic wand. His main color representation is purple, although his shell and head were colored lavender-purple inSuper Mario World. He is named after American rock & roll singerRoy Orbison. He was also known as "Bully" in the cartoons and is said to be a typical bully who likes beating up others for his own amusement. This is true in most appearances, but in certain Japanese materials, Roy instead speaks in a calm and collected manner, so he may have more of a laid-back personality and be less of a tough guy. He is also the second bulkiest Koopaling after Morton. |
| Lemmy Koopa | Lemmy Koopa is depicted as a small, fun-loving child who wields the green magic wand and has been shown capable of being serious when the situation calls for it. His main color representation is orange. Although inSuper Mario World, his shell was colored yellow and his hair was white, and his shell was originally green and he lacked the ponytail. He is named after the lateLemmy Kilmister, frontman of the English heavy metal bandMotörhead. He was also known as "Hip" in the cartoons and is the twin brother of Hop (Iggy); together, they are among the youngest members of the family. Lemmy is usually depicted as perhaps the least bright Koopaling, but is also the most genuinely innocent of his siblings. |
| Ludwig von Koopa | Ludwig von Koopa is the eldest[19] who possesses a magnificent intelligence most likely superior to that of the other Koopalings, and wields the blue magic wand. His main color representation is deep blue, although he was originally depicted with a green shell in artwork (aqua-blue inSuper Mario Bros. 3 and yellow inSuper Mario World), as well as white hair in early sprites. He is named after the German Classical and Romantic late composerLudwig van Beethoven. He was also known as "Kooky" in the cartoons and had more of a mad scientist persona. Like his namesake, he is said to be a composer and is very much into the culture, but is also sometimes suggested to be the cruelest of the Koopalings. According toMario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Ludwig egotistically believes himself to be a "real leader", to which the others, Lemmy, Morton, and Iggy specifically, claim they never voted on it and further explain they operate as a collective trust.[20] |
In addition, thePrima Games guide ofSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 refers toBoom Boom as a Koopaling,[21] despite listing him separately in the Friends and Foes section.
Concept and creation
One of the first sketches in which the Koopalings can be seen, a result of the collaboration betweenYoichi Kotabe andTakashi Tezuka, happened before the release of theFamily Computer Disk System version ofSuper Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels in 1986 and is associated with Bowser's first redesign.[22] The Koopalings were modeled after the design team ofSuper Mario Bros. 3,[23] and they were all named after famous musicians by the game's North American localizers,[24] since they were not given distinct names in the original Japanese version.[25] In the Japanese version ofSuper Mario World, only their first names were adopted, dropping the Koopa surname,[26] as was done in many subsequent games (both in English and Japanese). The Koopalings were all given different names in the cartoons, purportedly because Nintendo of America had not released their own names yet, forcing the writers ofThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 to come up with their own names.
The word "Koopaling" itself is likely a combination of the name "Koopa" with thediminutive suffix "-ling", which is often used to denote a younger, smaller or inferior version (such as the word "duckling" being used to describe the juvenile version of aduck), which aptly describes their relation toBowser. Similarly, their original Japanese name, "Kokuppa" is essentially "Little Koopa" (which is what theretainers serving thekings call them in theNES andSNES versions) or "Child Koopa", withKoopa being the Japanese name ofBowser. Interestingly, only their Italian name,Bowserotti, actually meansLittle Bowsers using the Western name ofBowser, with the names in the other languages leaving theKoopa word intact, even when it does not specifically meanBowser. The English name also evokes such words as "fledgling", "hatchling", "youngling", or even "underling", and may be a mere portmanteau between one of them and "Koopa".
History
- Main article:History of the Koopalings
Since their debut inSuper Mario Bros. 3, the Koopalings are notable for appearing as world bosses acrossSuper Mario platformers. In some role-playing games including theMario & Luigi andPaper Mario series, they also appear as bosses. The Koopalings appear as separate playable characters in some spin-offs. They appear in otherSuper Mario media under different names when they did not have their official names during production.
General information
Physical appearance
All the Koopalings look relatively similar to Bowser and Bowser Jr., but lack horns on their head. Morton has a unique darker complexion, and three have heads that are not green in coloration (Morton's head is white and Roy's is pink while Wendy's head matches the rest of her body's yellow coloration). Three of them (Larry, Wendy and in part Iggy) have blue eyes much like Bowser inSuper Mario Bros. 3 (but while Bowser's eyes were changed to red, the Koopalings' eyes remained blue). Originally, Ludwig, Morton and Lemmy's eyes were merely black dots, however the former two have since been shown to have thin dark gray irises. All of them have pointed claws on their hands. All the Koopalings have various distinguishing features, such as varying numbers of teeth protruding from their snouts and unique hair styles and colors. Oddly, their sprites inSuper Mario World and theSuper Mario Bros. 3 remake inSuper Mario All-Stars gave them all white hair and coloration that did not match their artwork, carrying over from the original, inaccurate color palette from the NES. All of them, likeBowser, have ribbed plated bellies. Although the Koopalings were shown in the sprites to have at least four spikes on their shells, the cover for Nintendo Power Player's Guide forSuper Mario All-Stars showed them, or at least Morton and Roy, only having three spines, all of which were directly on the center of the shell from top to bottom. In addition, while Lemmy does not have fangs, his in-game depiction inSuper Mario World does.
While most of the Koopalings originally had green shells, redesigns introduced withNew Super Mario Bros. Wii gave them all unique shell colors. Other aspects of their pre-existing designs were also tweaked, such as Iggy's hair being green rather than multicolored in order to differentiate him further from Lemmy, and their heights and builds being more varied, with Morton now the tallest, followed by Iggy, Roy, Ludwig, Wendy, Larry and finally Lemmy, who was the runt of the litter in their original appearances as well. Their tails also became visible in their official artwork starting fromNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, having not been drawn until then[27] except for some sprite depictions and an artwork which apparently shows Iggy's tail.[28] In their playable appearances in theSuper Smash Bros. series, because they are model swaps of Bowser Jr., all of the Koopalings appear roughly the same height as one another, most notably with Roy, Iggy, Morton and Lemmy (although Iggy is still thin).
The Koopalings' designs were modified in the DIC cartoons, although they were still recognizable.
Personalities
The Koopalings' individual personalities have not been fleshed out much besides being childlike, their desire to cause mayhem, and their loyalty to Bowser. However, there were some hints in various supplementary materials. Some of the personalities changed between localizations. For example, Roy in the North American localizations was depicted in a manner similar to a bully (which also earned him the name "Bully" in the DIC cartoons), but the JapaneseSuper Mario Bros. 3 instruction booklet andSuper Mario Advance 4e-Reader cards give him a calm and collected demeanor. The original manual also gave each of the Koopalings several quirks unique to each of them that hinted at their individual personalities with some speeches uttered by them; however, the official English translation toned down several of these quirks or removed them altogether. Although loyal to Bowser, they also did not wish to be on the receiving end of Bowser's rage if they failed a task, as evidenced by Larry's reason for why he and the other Koopalings will not give up the kings' wands easily to Mario, as he stated that the alternative would be to get yelled at by Bowser. Prior to their modern depictions, they were given distinguishing characteristics inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and theSuper Mario World cartoon, as well as theNintendo Comics System andNintendo Adventure Books. InMario Kart 8, the Koopalings seem to have better speech capabilities than Bowser, as they can be heard saying their names at several points, and even yelling one or two-liners. In addition to being childlike, aPlay Nintendo quiz describes the Koopalings as "zany".[29]
The Koopalings' loyalty to Bowser is strong enough that they are willing to serve him even when "Bowser" is actually not himself and in fact possessed by another figure. This is implied by their servitude toBowletta inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and later confirmed inPaper Mario: Color Splash, where Wendy and Larry specifically mention doing their actions for Bowser and Morton indirectly says that as well despite Bowser being under the influence ofblack paint. In the former game's remake, they also possessed strong enough wills that Fawful, when brainwashing them with his spray, was ultimately forced to use a maximum potent dosage on them to sway them to his side.
They were also willing to work with Bowser's son, Bowser Jr., and had little problem with him, as implied by Roy Koopa briefly calling him squirt (Young Master in the Japanese version) and overall talking to him in a casual nature. However,Bowser Jr.'s Journey indicated that even they have their limits when working with Bowser Jr., as many of them ended up quitting on him due to being fed up with his notoriously selfish nature while they were trying to hunt for the remedy for theblorbs, the only real exceptions being Iggy and Morton, the former being forced to leave by Bowser Jr. due to finding him annoying, and the latter ended up brainwashed by the Best Fitness Friends into attacking Bowser Jr..
Powers and abilities
The Koopalings each have varying abilities, but in general, the Koopalings are capable of using their shell as both a method of defense and a method of offense. In addition, they are all capable of jumping very high, and are all skilled in magic, frequently using magic wands as a weapon. While only Ludwig, Iggy, and Larry spat fireballs inSuper Mario World,Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga revealed that all Koopalings have this ability. Despite that, they are weak to fireballs, though their exact limit has varied between taking multiple fireballs to take down, or being one-hit knocked out by a single fireball. Similar to Bowser, they also have a tendency to survive dangerous hits. This is especially evident with their defeat inSuper Mario World, where Larry, Wendy, Iggy, and Lemmy were dunked into lava by the Mario Bros., and each Koopaling later had their castles collapse on them, inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii where they, alongside Bowser and Bowser Jr., ended up surviving being crushed by Bowser's falling castle, and inNew Super Mario Bros. 2, where all of them were accidentally knocked into the lava twice (once by a gigantic Bowser, and then by a gigantic Dry Bowser). Their fighting prowess was such that they managed to casually knock away severalBeanies while discussing how they can find Bowser at the same time inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions.
In terms of talents unique to individual Koopalings, they seem to know their own spells. While most of them simply cast a colorful shot of magic that slowly flies in a straight line, Wendy instead creates glowing rings that ricochet off the surfaces of the room, and Lemmy creates bouncing circus balls that can knock the Mario Bros. into a bottomless pit. In every game appearance outside ofSuper Mario World, Lemmy is always seen in battle balancing on top of a big yellow circus ball covered with starry patterns. Ludwig could create earthquakes with his descents inSuper Mario Bros. 3, an ability that was taken away from him ever sinceNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, but kept by Roy and Morton. Ludwig was given the ability to flutter jump in theNew Super Mario Bros. games instead. InSuper Mario World, Roy and Morton were able to walk up walls and ceilings and drop down at will.
Family relationship
In their first appearance inSuper Mario Bros. 3, the Koopalings were introduced as siblings and Bowser's own children.[30][4][3] Most re-releases and remakes of this 1988 game as well as republications of the game's story retain this detail in Japan, including the 2013Nintendo 3DSVirtual Console release.[13][14][31] However, the 2007 Japanese Wii Virtual Console version's manual does not mention their relationship to Bowser,[32] and the 2015 JapaneseEncyclopedia Super Mario Bros. uses a less strong statement than the one found in the original manual.[2] The 2018 English and French versions ofEncyclopedia Super Mario Bros. preserve the original manual's description of the Koopalings being Bowser's children verbatim,[17][33] while the German and Spanish translations of said book make no mention of their relationship.[34][35] Translations ofSuper Mario Bros. 3, its re-releases, remakes, official guides, and websites have kept this detail to varying degrees, with most calling the Koopalings Bowser's offspring.[36][37][38][8][9][10][11][39] The 1990 cartoon based on the game,The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, follows this portrayal, with the Koopalings referring to Bowser as "king dad".[40]
The 1991Super Mario World English manual,[5] the JapaneseNintendo Official Guidebooks for both the original and 2001Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World remake,[41][15] and related 1990 Japanese materials state that the Koopalings are Bowsers' children,[6] while the in-game text and Japanese manual (as well as its re-releases and remakes) do not make any direct statements about their relationship. In three character books written with the involvement ofNintendo, the Koopalings are considered Bowser's children, and in two cases explicitly stated to be members of hisroyal family (「
The back of the EnglishYoshi's Safari box calls them Bowser's "offspring" in 1993, and the French translation of said text uses the same term as well,[12] which is absent in the Japanese manual.[45]
The manual for theSNES version ofMario is Missing! vaguely describes the Koopalings as Bowser's "bad boys",[46] although in theDOS version's in-game dialogue, the Koopalings refer to Bowser by name rather than with a familial title. InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, Bowser's seven children are mentioned in both the Japanese and English versions,[7] and this relationship is also mentioned in theSuper Mario Advance series from 2001 to 2003.[15][39]
Following the introduction ofBowser Jr. in 2002, who is treated independently from the Koopalings, and the lack of major appearances from the Koopalings betweenMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga in 2003 andNew Super Mario Bros. Wii in 2009, there was confusion about the nature of Bowser's parenthood. Bowser Jr. was first implied to have replaced the Koopalings as Bowser's sole child in the description of Bowser's trophy inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, the Japanese version of which refers to Bowser Jr. as「ひとり息子」, meaning "one son" or "only son".[47] While the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. appear together inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, official websites refer to the Koopalings as Bowser's minions rather than his children, and as each other's comrades rather than siblings;[48][49] however, the game'sPrima guide refers to the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. collectively as Bowser's children, and considers Bowser Jr. to be a Koopaling himself.[50][51] In a September 2012 interview,Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking withTakashi Tezuka, stated that the "current story is that the seven Koopalings are not Bowser's children", leaving Bowser Jr. as his only child (with an unknown mother).[18] In the Japanese Nintendo Direct announcing the Koopalings as playable characters inMario Kart 8, they are described as「クッパ
InMario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the Koopalings have lines of dialogue, which would later continue in games such asMario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games,Paper Mario: Color Splash,Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions,Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, andMario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. To reflect their revised portrayal, in the Japanese versions of the games, the Koopalings refer to Bowser asMaster Bowser (「クッパ
The Japanese website ofNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, besides referring to them using the newerTeam of Seven Bowsers (「クッパ7人衆」) term instead of the originalBowser's Minions (「クッパの手下」) term, also indicates that they are considered as theleaders of the Bowser clan (「クッパ一味の幹部」).[62]
Birth order
InNintendo Power, Larry was stated to be the youngest of the Koopalings[63] (reaffirmed as still true in histrophy description in the American version ofSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U and his character origintip inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate), while Ludwig was said to be the oldest.[19] The birth order for the five middle children was not confirmed, although inSuper Mario Bros. 3, as Larry is the first Koopaling to be fought and Ludwig is the last, the implication would seem to be that all seven Koopalings are fought in order from youngest to oldest (provided the player does notwarp); however, Morton is described as "one of the older Koopalings" in theSuper Mario Bros. 3 Nintendo Power Strategy Guide,[64] although this may have been in relation to Larry, the previous boss encountered. The Prima strategy guide forSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 describes Roy as being "a little heavier than his younger family", which might indicate that Roy is one of the older Koopalings.[65] InSuper Mario World! Yoshi no Tamago, Morton calls Wendy「あねご」(anego, "older sister").[66]
InThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Hip and Hop (Lemmy and Iggy) are depicted as twins and are contradictorily believed to be the youngest. Although Kootie Pie (Wendy) celebrated her sixteenth birthday in "Reptiles in the Rose Garden", the specific ages of the others was never confirmed. According to the Writer's Bible included on the Shout! Factory DVD set and brief concept clips of the cartoon, the other Koopalings were all teenagers; Bully (Roy) was the eldest, followed by Big Mouth (Morton), Kooky (Ludwig), Cheatsy (Larry), Kootie Pie, and finally Hip and Hop both at six years old. This is seemingly the reference used for theNintendo Adventure Books series, since inLeaping Lizards, Morton exclaims, "Little brothers are so cowardly!" in regards to Iggy, although this may have been a quip at Luigi's expense (who expressed particular resentment at that remark).
Leadership
TheSuper Mario Bros. 3 Nintendo Power Strategy Guide also states that Ludwig is Bowser's second in command,[19] effectively making him the leader of the Koopalings. Since then, this role has been supplanted by characters such asKammy Koopa,Kamek, andBowser Jr. The American English version ofSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and the European English version ofSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U state that Larry leads the Koopalings andBowser's Minions respectively, although both are inaccurate translations of the original Japanese description, which simply states that Larry is one of the seven Koopalings and the leader of a special unit in Bowser's Minions.[67] InMario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Larry calls Ludwig "boss", and Ludwig shows that he thinks of himself as a leader, and even a king, both of which are contested by other Koopalings.
Fighting order
The order the Koopalings are fought differ in each game they appear as bosses:
| Game | First | Second | Third | Fourth | Fifth | Sixth | Seventh |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Mario Bros. 3 /Monopoly Gamer | Larry | Morton | Wendy | Iggy | Roy | Lemmy | Ludwig |
| Super Mario World /Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga | Iggy | Morton | Lemmy | Ludwig | Roy | Wendy | Larry |
| Yoshi's Safari | Lemmy | Ludwig | Wendy | Larry | Morton | Iggy | Roy |
| Hotel Mario | Morton | Roy | Larry | Lemmy | Ludwig | Wendy | Iggy |
| New Super Mario Bros. Wii | Larry | Roy | Lemmy | Wendy | Iggy | Morton | Ludwig |
| New Super Mario Bros. 2 | Roy | Iggy | Larry | Wendy | Morton | Lemmy | Ludwig |
| New Super Mario Bros. U /New Super Luigi U | Lemmy | Morton | Larry | Wendy | Iggy | Roy | Ludwig |
| Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition | Larry | Lemmy | Morton | Wendy | Iggy | Roy | Ludwig |
| Paper Mario: Color Splash | Morton | Iggy | Ludwig | Wendy | Larry | Lemmy | Roy |
| Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser | Larry | Iggy | Wendy | Morton | Roy | Lemmy | Ludwig |
Footnotes
- Due to the world structure ofNew Super Mario Bros. 2 (six main worlds and three optional special worlds), WorldsMushroom andFlower (and their Koopalings, Larry and Lemmy) can be considered either to be preceded byWorld 6 (Bowser) or succeeded by Worlds3 (Wendy) and5 (Ludwig), respectively.
- Even thoughSparkling Waters andFrosted Glacier are officially considered to be the third and fourth worlds ofNew Super Mario Bros. U (andNew Super Luigi U), respectively, the player can choose to beat whichever one (and their Koopalings, Larry and Wendy) first. Similarly, while all the levels are numbered inYoshi's Safari, the player can play them in any order they wish.
- Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam has the player fighting two or three of the Koopalings at once, with Roy and Wendy, then Larry and Ludwig, then Morton and Lemmy via Papercraft; then each pair is fought again, with Morton and Lemmy joined by Iggy. The first two pairs are also fought alongsideDry Bowser.
- In the SNES version ofMario is Missing!, only Ludwig, Iggy, and Roy are fought, with Larry, Morton, Wendy and Lemmy only being depicted in the manual. In the DOS version, however, all except for Morton and Lemmy appear (although the latter two were planned to appear, at least in theCD-ROM Deluxe edition, due to the presence of unused voice clips), and they are fought in the following order: Larry, Roy, Wendy, Iggy and Ludwig.
- InMinion Quest: The Search for Bowser, Lemmy and Ludwig are both fought in the same level, albeit in different waves (Lemmy comes two waves before Ludwig). All the Koopalings are fought again at the same time later in the game, with Ludwig as the captain and the rest as regular troops.
- Although Monopoly Gamer is technically not a video game, the Koopalings nonetheless act as "bosses" for each deck. The order they are fought in is the same as inSuper Mario Bros. 3.
- InBowser Jr.'s Journey, Larry is fought first, then Iggy and Wendy are fought in the same level; Wendy is the fought one wave before Iggy, before fighting together in the last wave where Iggy is the first officer and Wendy is the captain, and Iggy is fought again later in the game, followed by Roy, and finally Morton. Ludwig and Lemmy are never fought. Dark versions of the Koopalings are fought alongside thefinal boss, as well as in the final post-game levelBeat the Minions!
- In theNintendo 3DS version ofMario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Roy is faced in the second day of theSuper Mario campaign, Larry is encountered in the fourth day of theSonic campaign, and Wendy is challenged in the sixth day of theSuper Mario campaign. Once again, inMario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, during the story mode, only three Koopalings appear: Wendy is challenged first, followed by Larry and finally Ludwig.

Portrayals
Although the games themselves initially did not have the Koopalings speak (the DOS version ofMario is Missing! nonwithstanding), the Koopalings did have a variety of voice actors in various Mario media.
InAmada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros., the Koopalings were voiced by Masaharu Satō (Larry and Iggy), Miyako Endō (Morton and Wendy), and Naoki Tatsuta (Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig).
In the DIC cartoons, the Koopalings were voiced by James Ransken (Cheatsy),Gordon Masten (Big Mouth),Tabitha St. Germain (Kootie Pie),Tara Charendoff (Hop),Dan Hennessey (Bully),Stuart Stone (Hip), and Michael Stark (Kooky).
The Koopalings appeared in the interactive anime videoSuper Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land, and there they were given spoken dialogue. Their voice actors were not credited.
InMario is Missing!, the Koopa Kids, as noted above, were given dialogue. In theCD-ROM Deluxe version, Larry, Iggy and Ludwig were voiced by Rob Wallace, Wendy was voiced by Kathy Fitzgerald, and Roy was voiced by Bruce Sandig, who also voiced the unused clips of Lemmy.[70]
InSuper Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, the Koopalings did have voices, although they just gave dying screeches when defeated by Mario or Luigi. Additionally, they were all similar monster roars, and only Iggy, Lemmy, Wendy and Larry used them.
Starting with 2009'sNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Koopalings were given in-game voice acting, although it was largely composed of grunts and roars instead of actual dialogue. Larry, Morton, Wendy and Lemmy are voiced byLani Minella, Iggy and Ludwig are voiced byMike Vaughn, and Roy is voiced byDan Falcone.
FromMario Kart 8 onwards, all the Koopalings, except for Roy, are voiced by new voice actors, with Morton, Ludwig, Iggy, Wendy, Larry and Lemmy being voiced byDavid Cooke,David J. Goldfarb,Ryan Higgins,Ashley Flannegan,Michelle Hippe andCarlee McManus respectively. This time, they do say actual words and phrases, besides their "No!" yells when defeated in the former games.
Naming
In the Japanese versions, the Koopalings have been referred to by several names, all of which are derived fromBowser's Japanese name,「クッパ」(Kuppa or "Koopa"). Some of their names also integrate the character「コ」; it is ambiguous whether this character represents「子」(ko-, "child") or「小」(ko, "young").「コクッパ」can thus mean "Little Koopa", "Child Koopa", "Young Koopa", etc. A rare variant of this phrase,「子クッパ」, is seen on the back of the JapaneseSuper Mario Bros. 3 box and in theNintendo Official Guidebook ofSuper Mario All-Stars. "7" or「七」, when used with「人」to count people, is read asshichi; otherwise it is commonly read asnana. In the English versions ofSuper Mario Bros. 3 except forSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3,Toad refers to the Koopalings as "Little Koopa" if acastle is visited after losing anairship level. Starting withNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, PAL territories refer to the Koopalings as "Bowser's minions" to match concurrent Japanese material,[71] although American versions continue to use "Koopalings" instead.[72] These names were eventually unified as ofMario Kart 8, where Japanese versions use a variant of their name fromSuper Famicom material, while all English versions use the "Koopalings" term.

Notes
- Larry is the only Koopaling to not have usedWarp Pipes in any of his boss battles, with Lemmy and Wendy using them inSuper Mario World, Roy using them inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, Morton and Ludwig using them inNew Super Mario Bros. 2, and Iggy using them inNew Super Mario Bros. U.
- InMario & Luigi: Paper Jam, every Koopaling is associated withBattle Cards. Roy and Wendy are the first bosses on which Battle Cards can be used, Larry and Ludwig are the only bosses that can use their own Battle Cards, and Iggy, Morton, and Lemmy turn the player's Battle Cards into a special kind of Morton Battle Card, which either deals 60 damage to everyone, makes the player lose all of their star points, or gives the player a randomMax Item.

The meaning of the sentence is roughly unaltered, as this wording omitting the possessive pronoun has also been used in theNintendo Official Guidebook ofSuper Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 andSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, the latter of which also used the stronger form of the original story ofSuper Mario Bros. 3 showing the similar meaning of the two wordings, but the new one is less strong and explicit.
