TheKoopalings (known asBowser's Minions in thePAL version andクッパ7人衆,The Seven Koopa Bunch in the Japanese version ofSuper Smash Bros. 4) are a clan of seven siblings that followBowser and are recurring villains in theMario series. Their individual names areLarry Koopa,Morton Koopa Jr.,Wendy O. Koopa,Iggy Koopa,Roy Koopa,Lemmy Koopa, andLudwig von Koopa, in the order they were fought in their debut game,Super Mario Bros. 3. While initially unnamed in their original Japanese appearance,Dayvv Brooks of Nintendo of America gave each of them names after famous musicians.
Origin[edit]
The Koopalings first appeared as bosses at the end of the first seven worlds inSuper Mario Bros. 3, and later reprised their roles similarly inSuper Mario World and appeared in multiple spin-off games and other adaptations of theMario franchise. Following their appearance inHotel Mario, they became absent from the series for a long period of time, barring a relatively minor reappearance inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga as bosses.Bowser Jr. was also introduced inSuper Mario Sunshine during this absence, being described as Bowser's son and heir to the throne. The Koopalings, however, later returned alongside Bowser Jr. inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, and they have remained as frequent bosses in the sequels to theNew Super Mario Bros. series, as well asMario & Luigi: Paper Jam andPaper Mario: Color Splash. Their resurgence in popularity later led to their playable debut inMario Kart 8.
The Koopalings were originally described asBowser's children and depicted as such in other media. However, newer games depict them with no familial relation to Bowser in the "current story", and they have only been referred to as particularly high-ranking minions of Bowser's following their reintroduction inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii after Bowser Jr.'s debut.Shigeru Miyamoto stated in a 2012 interview that Bowser Jr. is an only child, distancing the relationship between Bowser and the Koopalings;[1] despite this, re-releases of older games featuring the Koopalings have retained them as Bowser's children.Super Smash Bros. 4 later made light of this confusing relationship, withPit's Smash Taunt for the characters noting that their Junior Clown Cars are mass-produced as opposed to Bowser Jr.'s personalized vehicle;Viridi also notes that the relationship between the Koopalings and Bowser is "a real mystery".
In theNew Super Mario Bros. series, Larry, Morton, Wendy, and Lemmy are voiced byLani Minella, Iggy and Ludwig are voiced byMike Vaughn, and Roy is voiced byDan Falcone. Their voice clips from these games are used in theSuper Smash Bros. series. However, fromMario Kart 8 onward (except forPuzzle and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition andSuper Mario Maker 2), the Koopalings gained individual voice actors. While Roy continued to be voiced by Dan Falcone, Larry, Wendy, Lemmy, Iggy, Morton, and Ludwig are now respectively voiced byMichelle Hippe,Ashley Flannegan,Carlee McManus,Ryan Higgins,David Cooke, andDavid J. Goldfarb.
Larry Koopa[edit]
- "Larry" redirects here. For the Smasher, seeSmasher:Larry Lurr.
Larry (ラリー,Larry) is the youngest of the Koopalings and is sometimes erroneously called the leader. He is the first one fought inSuper Mario Bros. 3, and that fact has led to speculation that the Koopalings following him are ordered by age. However, the order varies in several later games, starting withSuper Mario World, where Iggy is fought first and Larry is fought last (Larry reprises his role as first later inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii). Larry is associated with grassy plains in most of the games he appears in. Larry's rear-facing mohawk-like hair and shell are colored electric blue, and he has large blue eyes. He is the second smallest Koopaling, after Lemmy. Unlike the other Koopalings, Larry's namesake is ambiguous, and he is possibly the only Koopaling not named after a famous personality.Dayvv Brooks has variously stated that Larry was either named afterLarry Mullen, Jr., drummer for the Irish rock bandU2,[2] or that he wasn't named after anyone in particular and "he just looked like a Larry."[3] The title given to Larry in theBoxing Ring is "The Youngest" inSmash Wii U (NTSC English) andUltimate and is called the "Leader of the Seven Minions" inSmash Wii U (PAL English). He is known as "Cheatsy" inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and theSuper Mario World TV series.
Morton Koopa Jr.[edit]
Morton (モートン,Morton) has the most consistent encountering order among the Koopalings, as he is the second castle boss fought inSuper Mario Bros. 3,Super Mario World,Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, andNew Super Mario Bros. U. He mostly presides in desert or mountain worlds, with the latter's landscape matching his color scheme. Morton is the second largest Koopaling and prefers brawn over brains, and some of his attacks involve hammers and stomps that cause quakes to show for it. He has very small eyes, a thick snout and inward-turning lower jaw/lip like Bowser's, very little hair, a black shell, and is the only Koopaling with skin that is not yellow-orange (his is a dark gray). He is named afterMorton Downey, Jr., an American television host whose eponymous program,The Morton Downey Jr. Show, became one of the first well-known "Trash TV" programs. The title given to Morton in the Boxing Ring is "The Enforcer" inSmash Wii U andUltimate. He is known as "Big Mouth" inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and theSuper Mario World TV series.
Wendy O. Koopa[edit]
Wendy (ウェンディ,Wendy) is the only female Koopaling. She's heavily associated with tropical locations and water, even having an attack that shoots life saver rings inSuper Mario Bros. 3, where she is the third boss. She is the third smallest Koopaling, after Larry and Lemmy. Wendy wears a pink bow with polka-dots, pink heels, golden bracelets on her wrists (instead of spiked wristbands like her cohorts), pink lip-stick, and a bead necklace; she's the only Koopaling with accessories that aren't shades or glasses. She has full lips (unlike her associates), blue eyes, and a pink shell. She is named afterWendy O. Williams, lead singer of the American punk bandPlasmatics. The title given to Wendy in the Boxing Ring is "The Bold Beauty" inSmash Wii U andUltimate. She is known as "Kootie-Pie" inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and theSuper Mario World TV series.
Iggy Koopa[edit]
Iggy (イギー,Iggy) is the first Koopaling to be fought in an equal number of instances to Larry: inSuper Mario World andMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. BeforeNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, Iggy's hair was the same as Lemmy's, being a rainbow-colored mohawk, and his eyes had multiple rings within them that made him look hypnotized. FromNew Super Mario Bros. Wii on, Iggy's hair has been neon green and is shaped similarly to a palm tree. Iggy is commonly associated with jungle and forest areas (matching his color scheme), and is implied inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii andNew Super Mario Bros. 2 to be a mechanical genius with great agility, as well as being known for his deranged and crazy personality. Iggy wears glasses and his irises are surrounded by blue loops (remnant of his older design's eyes; his eyes are also the largest of the Koopalings'), and his shell is green with purple accents. Iggy has a longer shell than his cohorts, and is taller than all of them. He is named afterIggy Pop, lead singer of the American rock bandThe Stooges; as of 2023, he is the only Koopaling whose namesake musician is not deceased. The title given to Iggy in the Boxing Ring is "The Laughing Prankster" inSmash Wii U andUltimate. He is known as "Hop" inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and theSuper Mario World TV series.
Roy Koopa[edit]
Roy (ロイ,Roy) has a design typical of a "bad boy", having shades and being heavily associated with heavy weaponry (such as hisBill Blaster fromNew Super Mario Bros. U). He is the fifth Koopaling fought inSuper Mario Bros. 3, serving as the boss of the sky world. Roy's environmental associations are among the most inconsistent of the Koopalings, having been grassy plains, the desert, and a cave. He has a purple shell, a pink head, and wears hot pink shades. He bears two fangs, like Larry. He is named after American rockabilly singerRoy Orbison, who was also well-known for wearing dark sunglasses. The title given to Roy in the Boxing Ring is "The Cool One" inSmash Wii U andUltimate. He is known as "Bully" inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and theSuper Mario World TV series.
Lemmy Koopa[edit]
Lemmy (レミー,Lemmy) is the smallest and nimblest Koopaling. Lemmy shared Iggy's hairstyle untilNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, where Iggy got a new one. Lemmy, also like Iggy, is often shown to be dizzy most of the time, and is normally seen balancing atop or holding an orange ball with stars on it. Lemmy is mostly associated with ice and presides as the boss of ice worlds intwogames. He has a rainbow mohawk, orange "bands" on the back of his head, dizzy eyes, an orange shell, and bears no teeth (like Wendy). Lemmy shares many traits with real-worldclowns. He is named after the lateIan Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister, lead vocalist and bassist for English heavy metal bandMotörhead. The title given to Lemmy in the Boxing Ring is "Wacky War Machine" inSmash Wii U andUltimate. He is known as "Hip" inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and theSuper Mario World TV series.
Ludwig von Koopa[edit]
- "Ludwig" redirects here. For other uses, seeLudwig (disambiguation).
Ludwig (ルドウィッグ,Ludwig) is claimed to be the oldest Koopaling in theSuper Mario Bros. 3 strategy guide; the same guide also states that he is Bowser's second in command, though Bowser Jr. is now heir to the throne since his debut. However, this does not stop him from being the de facto leader of the Koopalings and the self-proclaimed leader inMario & Luigi: Paper Jam. He is the last Koopaling fought in his debut and consistently as ofNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. However, inSuper Mario World Ludwig is the fourth Koopaling to be fought, though he is the only one with a unique fighting style. Ludwig is heavily associated with the sky and clouds, presiding as the boss of those kinds of levels in most of the games he's appeared. He is also shown to have enhanced jumping capabilities inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, similar to Yoshi. Ludwig has the most voluminous hair of the Koopalings, and expresses high levels of cunning and skill. He has small eyes (like Morton), blue hair, a blue shell, and bears a single fang from his mouth. He is named after German composer and pianistLudwig van Beethoven, even sharing his namesake's hairstyle. The title given to Ludwig in the Boxing Ring is "Pompous Prodigy" inSmash Wii U andUltimate. He is known as "Kooky" inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and theSuper Mario World TV series.
InSuper Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
While the Koopalings do not physically appear in-game, they are indirectly mentioned inBowser's trophy description; as this trophy was written prior to the introduction of Bowser Jr., it directly refers to the group as Bowser's own seven children.
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
Ludwig appears as asticker.

Additionally, while Morton himself does not appear inBrawl, a reference to him is made in the form ofBowser's white palette swap, which is based on the former's original, pre-New Super Mario Bros. Wii design.
InSuper Smash Bros. 4[edit]
As playable characters[edit]
All seven of the Koopalings make theirSuper Smash Bros. debut as playable characters inSuper Smash Bros. 4 asalternate costumes forBowser Jr., who is in hisJunior Clown Car. All are named by theannouncer and have their own voices and sound clips. Their mass-produced Junior Clown Cars have yellow bulbs for eyes, and their cockpit rims and propellers are colored differently for each Koopaling (Morton's are gray, for example). Their voice clips are reused from theNew Super Mario Bros. series. All of the Koopalings also have their own associated trophy, though these trophies are obtained from theTrophy Shop instead of being rewarded after completingClassic Mode.
While some of the Koopalings have different proportions than Bowser Jr. in regards to weight or height, all of them are sized more similar to him in-game, causing some of the Koopalings to look slightly different from their depictions in the official games (such as Roy and Morton being smaller, Iggy being shorter, and Lemmy being bigger). However, Bowser Jr.'s reveal trailer appeared to show the various Koopalings more accurately in regards to their actual proportions, though this was later reverted slightly for the final builds ofSSB4. To some extent, the Koopalings' sizes in the game could be compared to their earlier in-game appearances in their first few appearances, like inSuper Mario Bros. 3 orSuper Mario World, where they were nearly all the same size.
In the Nintendo 3DS version, character trophies are outlined in theTrophy Gallery just as fighters are in standard gameplay, provided the option is enabled. The trophies for the Koopalings acknowledge their fighter status by giving them properly rendered trophies with outlines, despite the trophies being random drops either in-game or from theTrophy Shop.

Trophies[edit]
In the 3DS version, Larry's trophy incorrectly says he is the "leader of the Koopalings, with aggressive tendencies to match." This is corrected in the NTSC Wii U version, but the PAL release retains this and labels himLeader of the Seven Minions.
- Larry
The leader of the Koopalings, with aggressive tendencies to match. He's easily recognized by his tall, blue hair. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, he makes his appearance in World 1. You might think he's tough, with his blue fireballs and shell spins, but his patterns are actually pretty easy to read.
The youngest of the Koopalings, with a serious case of little-brother syndrome to match. He's easily recognized by his tall, blue hair. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, he makes his appearance in World 1. You might think he's tough, with his blue fireballs and shell spins, but his patterns are actually pretty easy to read.

He's more brawn than brains, and in New Super Mario Bros. 2, he appears in World 4, where he'll stay glued to the spot until you attack him. Maybe he just can't be bothered to move!

- Wendy
- Of all the Koopalings, Wendy's the only girl. She's bold, bossy, big headed, and sees Peach and Daisy as her rivals. Despite her tomboyish nature, she's not afraid to show off her feminine side with a pink bow and heels. In New Super Mario Bros. U, she shows off her graceful ice-skating skills with a spin or two.

- One of the Koopalings. Iggy wears black-rimmed glasses, has hair that's sort of pineapplish, and is known for being a bit of a prankster. He talks in a cutesy way but laughs like a maniac. Also, he seems to like taming Chain Chomps, and in New Super Mario Bros. 2, he gets a rampaging Chain Chomp to help him take on Mario.

- Roy
- This heavy guy is one of the Koopalings and likes throwing his weight around. His pink sunglasses might not make him seem evil, but the speed he can go from slacker to soldier certainly does. In Super Mario Bros. 3, he causes earthquakes to stop Mario in his tracks, all while attacking with blasts of magic. Nasty stuff!

Wii, he's the boss of World 7 and torments Mario by firing homing magic blasts and floating too high in the air to be jumped on.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As playable characters[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Koopalings return as playable characters accessible via Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes. They are once again 'unlockable characters', like inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Just like in the previous game, their attacks and statistics are identical to Bowser Jr.'s and (with the exception of the announcer, crowd, and character selection, all of which say and/or display their own names) the game does not acknowledge them as separate characters from Bowser Jr. in battle records and other miscellaneous aspects, such as Classic Mode.
Unlike inSuper Smash Bros. 4, the Koopalings now use their magic wands (from theNew Super Mario Bros. games) for any occasion where Bowser Jr. would use his hammer. These occasions include all corresponding attacks, their side taunt, and one of their victory poses. Akin to their trophies inSuper Smash Bros. 4, all of the Koopalings also have their own associated Fighter Spirits, although they can only be obtained from the Shop instead of being rewarded after completing Classic Mode.

Trivia[edit]
- The Koopalings' order of alternate costume cycling is the same order in which they are faced inSuper Mario Bros. 3, except Roy and Morton have their places switched.
- Despite being yellow in-game, the rim and propeller of Lemmy's Junior Clown Car is orange in his trophy in the 3DS version.
- Larry is the only Koopaling that can potentially appear inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U'sClassic Mode. If the player has defeated Bowser Jr. in the first three rounds of a playthrough, it is possible to encounter another Bowser Jr. in rounds 4 or 5, as an opponent in a team battle; in this case, Larry will fight in Bowser Jr.'s place, but as Bowser Jr. has no chance of appearing again, Larry can be the only Koopaling to appear in the mode. In such a fight, the text by the game's portraits in-battle will incorrectly refer to Larry as Bowser Jr.
- InUltimate,Mario,Yoshi, andPeach are the only characters who face all of the Koopalings in each of theirClassic Mode routes. All three characters of which faceBowser before a unique boss, despite Bowser appearing in the same round asGiga Bowser for Mario.
- Mario fights the Koopalings in the same order he faced them as bosses inSuper Mario Bros. 3, Yoshi fights them in the same order as inSuper Mario World (his debut game), and Peach fights them in the same order as inNew Super Mario Bros. U.
- Out of the other four Koopalings fought by other characters, Morton is the only Koopaling to be fought in more than one Classic Mode route; being in bothIke andIncineroar's Classic Mode routes each.
- Mario fights the Koopalings in the same order he faced them as bosses inSuper Mario Bros. 3, Yoshi fights them in the same order as inSuper Mario World (his debut game), and Peach fights them in the same order as inNew Super Mario Bros. U.
- Roy shares his name withRoy fromFire Emblem; they are the only characters with this distinction.
- He is also the only Koopaling who is voiced by his current voice actor in theSuper Smash Bros. series as all the other Koopaling voice actors fromNew Super Mario Bros Wii (Lani Minella and Mike Vaughn) were replaced fromMario Kart 8 onwards.
- InSmash 4, all of the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. have the exact same animations except for Lemmy. When he is dizzy, his pupils move around in circles rather than the dizzy animation for the rest of Koopalings.
- UnlikeBowser,Petey Piranha,Donkey Kong,Diddy Kong, andKing K. Rool, the Koopalings retain their voice actors from theMario series. This trait is also shared withYoshi (Kazumi Totaka) and Bowser Jr. (Caety Sagoian).
- The Koopalings,Zombie, andEnderman are the only alternate characters who do not have alternate costumes of their own.
- The Koopalings and Enderman are the only playable characters to receive significant alterations to their canonical body proportions in order to work as alternate costumes to another character.
- Ludwig is the only alternate character to appear in any capacity in aSmash Bros. game prior to being playable, as he was asticker inBrawl.
