Larry's second appearance is in the last world of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the [[Valley of Bowser]]. In battle, he uses [[Iggy]]'s attack pattern and defeating condition. He sits on top of a tilting platform on top of lava and is immune to all of [[Mario]]'s attacks. However, unlike Iggy, Larry's platform has three [[Lava Bubble]]s that jumps up and down. He can also throw more than one fireball at one time. Larry needs to be jumped on until he falls off his platform. After the battle, Mario kicks away [[7 Larry's Castle|his castle]] and gains access to the [[Front Door]]. This is Larry's first time being the last Koopaling to fight so far. Like the other Koopalings, his in-game design does not match official artwork.

The Koopalings made their 3D-rendered debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Larry is the boss of [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]], which is reminiscent of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. In this appearance, Larry looks almost the same as before, but his two small fangs are now gone, he has a blue star on his head similar to [[Morton]] (however, compared to Morton's star, it is instead near the back of his head); and he now has a azure colored shell similar to the color of his hair.

Larry, Bowser Jr., and the rest of the Koopalings appear in the game's intro. They use a giant cake to capture Princess Peach during her birthday party. The Koopalings then flee on their airship while Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad give chase.

Before battling him, he is shocked at Mario's presence, rages about it and gets ready to fight. In the first battle, Larry fires cyan fireballs at Mario and jumps. After being hit, he retreats into his shell and starts to spin around the area, causing Mario damage if he comes in contact with him. After three stomps on the head, Larry is defeated, retreating to his castle in World 1.

After three stomps on the head, Larry is defeated, retreating to his castle in World 1.  


Larry's second battle (in his castle) is in a room filled with platforms that shift up and down due to [[Kamek|Magikoopa]]'s magic. Larry has the same tactics as his last fight. However, his shell dash attack is more difficult to avoid because of the moving room (unless he gets stuck between two of the platforms). After three more stomps Larry is defeated. After this fight he falls off the screen, leaving the key to the [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|desert]], where [[Roy]] is. In the ending, he is shown limping when he comes across [[Bowser Jr.]], who points to the other Koopalings, and they watch as the latters prop Bowser up, which causes the castle to start falling on top of them.

Larry joins the Koopalings at [[Bowser's Castle]], where they attempt to petrify Mario with their Koopa Clown Car's petrification device. He also aids Bowser alongside the rest of the Koopalings by causing him to grow larger, but it results in him and the others being knocked into a lava pit by Bowser due to his increased size. He and the other Koopalings survive, however, and attempt to help Bowser by airlifting him with the Koopa Clown Car, but this ends up with it crashing due to it being unable to handle the combined weight of both them and Bowser. Larry ends up flung into a tree as a result of the crash.

Larry appeared in the interactive Anime adaptation of ''Super Mario World''. On Chocolate Island, he, alongside [[Lemmy]], [[Wendy]], [[Ludwig]], [[Morton]], and [[Roy]], ambushed Mario and Luigi at a fortress. He alongside his brothers fought Mario after Wendy nearly fell into lava, but Mario broke open a red block to get a Cape Feather and sent them flying.

After almost a decade of absence, Larry reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', alongside the other Koopalings. In this game, he, along with the other Koopalings, are ordered by [[Bowletta]] to deal with the Mario Bros. as they storm [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|Bowser's Castle]]. He is fought after [[Wendy]] is defeated, and is the last Koopaling to be fought, just like in ''Super Mario World''. Before battle, Larry traps Luigi in a [[barrel]] and shoots a fireball at him. To engage Larry, Luigi needs to stand in front of the [[Bob-omb]] to bounce the fireball back, while Larry does likewise with his tennis racket. Luigi has to continue bouncing the fireball back until it hits Larry, making him angry and forcing the Mario Bros. into a battle with him.

In battle, he spits fireballs (similar to the other Koopalings), bouncing them back with his tennis racket. He also spins around, similar to [[Iggy]] or [[Ludwig]]. He also has a [[Time Bob-omb]] on his side, which limits the amount of turns taken to defeat him. In the end, he is defeated and disappears.

Larry reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. He first appears in [[Doop Doop Dunes]] with [[Ludwig]], [[Wendy]] and [[Roy]] where they capture Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario. He is also mentioned briefly by Roy and Wendy shortly before they fought the Mario Bros., where they tried to call him in to aid them in beating them up, though he failed to show (with Wendy later blaming Larry for this when they were defeated). In the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]], as Mario & co. head to the pipe that leads them to [[Bowser's Castle]], they are stopped by Larry and Ludwig, telling them they need a pass to enter. Larry and Ludwig then briefly attack the Mario gang inside the pipe until Starlow unleashes a "Supernova Sparkle" attack. Larry then walks out of the pipe with Mario & co. and has a short temper from Starlow calling him a shrimp, Luigi standing in the wrong side, and Ludwig not being present for his back-up. After Ludwig finally arrives, Larry and Ludwig fight Mario & co. Upon being defeated, Larry claims that fighting them and losing was all part of the plan to ensure the heroes could not infiltrate Bowser's Castle. Larry is encountered one last time on top of [[Neo Bowser Castle]], alongside the rest of the Koopalings. Larry briefly tells Ludwig that he will be battling Mario & co. for his own free will, not because he (Ludwig) is some kind of leader. Larry and Ludwig then battle Mario & co. one last time. After the battle, Larry utters some last words, complaining to Ludwig that now he thinks he is some king, just before exploding.

In both of their boss battles in the main story, Larry and Ludwig gain Dark Star Points by successfully damaging Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario. Those Dark Star Points are then used by Ludwig to unleash the effects of his [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s.

Larry appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]] '' with the same role as the original game with added dialogue. His spinning attack has been changed; he will now spin inside his shell, similar to [[Roy]]. He also appears in the added on story mode ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' as a Ranged-type ally. He and the other Koopalings get brainwashed by [[Fawful]] in the beginning of the game’s story and try to conquer the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] afterwards. Larry is requited after [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|the player]] defeats him in the [[Beanbean Fields]], and he seems to be the most respectful to Captain Goomba and his squad and the most willing to join out of all the Koopalings, although he strongly dislikes taking orders from a Goomba. His stat spread is relatively balanced, but focuses on having high ACCURACY.

Larry is one of the heavier lightweights in the game. As such, his acceleration, handling, and grip stats are lowered a little to boost his speed and weight (he shares this trait with [[Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Toadette]], [[Lakitu]], [[Wendy]], and [[Isabelle]]). The CPU-controlled Larry can be seen using the Standard bodies, [[Standard Kart]] with [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires, [[Standard Bike]] with [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires, the [[Standard ATV]] with [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires, the [[Pipe Frame]] with Standard tires or the [[Landship]] with [[Wood]] tires.

As such, his acceleration, handling, and grip stats are lowered a little to boost his speed and weight (he shares this trait with [[Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Toadette]], [[Lakitu]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], and [[Isabelle]]).

Larry is rather similar to his siblings, sharing the regular yellow and tan skin and green head color. He is set apart by his blue hair (which has been inconsistently alternating between dark and light blue in earlier artwork, until it stuck to light blue from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' onward), that are usually combed to resemble a cockscomb,<ref name="comb"/> whose appearance remained relatively consistent over time. Another more recent distinguishing and noticeable trait is the blue star on the side of his head, which is similar to [[Morton]]'s star and the stripes on the side of [[Lemmy]]'s head; this star was not added until ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. With early official information depicting him as much shorter than Mario,<ref>{{cite|url=pressthebuttons.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452033569e201b8d0b43f5b970c|title=1993 Nintendo Character Guide Comparison Chart|publisher=Press The Buttons|accessdate=October 14, 2015}}</ref> Larry is still shorter than Mario in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but varies in height between games, with his shortest modern appearance being in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and his tallest being in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', and is overall slightly shorter than Ludwig. Larry has two, fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his snout, similar to Roy (though, originally, he had four protruding teeth), along with a complete set of teeth as shown in the battle against him and Ludwig in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', when he flails his wand against Paper Mario and when he's falling after being hit by his own bomb.<ref name="PJLarryLudwig1stbattle" /> His mouth is feline-shaped, as his lips are deeply curved, and his nose is flat; it is relatively the same as Roy's aside from the jawline. He also has a plated belly and padded feet.

He has large, oval eyes that are light blue, like [[Wendy]]; however, his in-game sprites in ''Super Mario World'' depict them as green due to the SNES's color palette limitations. For the same reason, his hair is depicted as white in his ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' sprites.

His head is oval-shaped as well. He is on the small side when compared to the others. His shell is also light blue, lined with a white encasing, and the multiple, short spikes are circled with blue rings; originally, his shell was green, as seen in both his artwork and his sprites for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'', which was changed to light blue in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. He wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other Koopalings.

Larry's appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is unaltered when compared to most of the ''Super Mario'' characters, including Bowser. However, ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' gives Larry a slightly darker and subdued color scheme, while his hair, spikes, and shell feature simple detailing, though his scales remain undefined. This trait is shared with Bowser Jr. and the other Koopalings.
