Morton stands out because of his primarily darker skin coloration and his white head with a star painted on the left side.

No in-universe explanation of his name was provided at the time, though the editors of the magazine [[Nintendo Power]] once claimed that when they asked Bowser why Morton Koopa was called "Jr.", he denied having any sons, then pelted them with [[Bob-omb]]s until they left.<ref>http://videogamemagazineletters.tumblr.com/post/103478321189/all-in-the-family</ref> | ||

At some point, Morton discovered that Mario was capable of accessing transformations, which meant Mario might prove to be a challenge, and likewise reported the discovery to Bowser. Morton usurped the [[Kings|king]] of [[Desert Land]] and took over. He used the same attack pattern as [[Larry Koopa|Larry]], but in the end he was defeated by [[Mario]]. | ||

In his level, Morton attacks Mario with a new [[airship]] and fights the same way as he did in his original boss battle, complete with wand. After being stomped three times, Morton is defeated once more. | ||

Morton appeared again in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' helping his family in an attempt to take over [[Dinosaur Land]]. [[2 Morton's Castle|His castle]] is located in the second area, the [[Donut Plains]]. Morton attacks Mario or Luigi by climbing the walls and ceiling of his room and dropping down. Mario or Luigi needs to stomp on his head thrice or shoot a dozen fireballs at him to win. Afterward, Morton's castle was kicked twice by Mario before repeatedly stomped on to cause it to collapse. | |||
Although Morton's official artwork depicts his shell as gray, as with the other Koopalings, his sprites are differently colored: his battle sprites use the green palette intended for the green [[Koopa Troopa]]s and other enemies, while his cast roll sprite uses the teal palette applied to the [[Buzzy Beetle]]s' in-game sprites, and resembling [[Ludwig]]'s palette in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''; although a grey palette closer to his artwork (and his ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' sprite) exists in the game's graphics, for unknown reasons, it is applied to [[Roy]]'s cast roll sprite instead, and none of the Koopalings within gameplay. | Although Morton's official artwork depicts his shell as gray, as with the other Koopalings, his sprites are differently colored: his battle sprites use the green palette intended for the green [[Koopa Troopa]]s and other lesser enemies, while his cast roll sprite uses the teal palette applied to the [[Buzzy Beetle]]s' in-game sprites, and resembling [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]]'s palette in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''; although a grey palette closer to his artwork (and his ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' sprite) exists in the game's graphics, for unknown reasons, it is applied to [[Roy Koopa]]'s cast roll sprite instead, and none of the Koopalings within actual gameplay. | ||

Morton appears as a boss once again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. In the game's intro, Morton, the other Koopalings, and Bowser Jr. use a giant cake to sneak into Princess Peach's birthday party. They use the cake to capture her and then fly away on their airship with Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad following them from close behind. | [[File:Morton 1.jpg|thumb|Morton's artwork, from ''New Super Mario Bros.

In his castle fight, it appears it is going to be very alike to the attacks [[Larry]] used. Then, | [[File:Morton-Tower-NSMBWii.png|thumb|upright=1.1|left|[[Mario]] faces Morton in his tower, in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]] | ||
Morton's main method of attack is shooting pink energy blasts that can be targeted in any direction. He can also do a [[Ground Pound]] move similar to that of [[Roy Koopa]] or a [[Sledge Bro]], that will stun anybody who is on the ground. His pounds last for less time than Roy or a Sledge Bro. Also, Morton's casting speed is extremely slow compared to Roy, but his magic is the fastest in the game, along with Iggy. Whenever Morton is damaged, he will jump into his shell and spin to attack. This attack is faster than the other Koopalings. Fortunately, it can be easily avoided if the player jumps on the raised ground. However, [[Skewer]]s will come down from above and land on the two raised platforms, damaging anyone that they hit. Once Morton has been stomped on three times, he will retreat to his castle. | |||
In his castle fight, it appears it is going to be very alike to the attacks [[Larry Koopa|Larry]] used. Then, Kamek flies in and sprinkles magic. At first, nothing looks different, except the ground has slightly lowered. Then, Morton will then use his immense weight to ground pound and cause the platforms on either side of him to rise up and hit the ceiling. He will jump around and repeat this tactic throughout the battle. Getting squished will defeat Mario and company in one hit. It is strongly noted that Morton never uses his magic in the castle fight, and he doesn't start spinning around as long as the pillars are up. Also, unlike his tower battle, Morton's Ground Pounds won't stun grounded players during the castle battle. | |||
After being defeated, Morton is later seen along with the other Koopalings getting Bowser back up, only to have Bowser's castle fall on top of all of them. | After being defeated, Morton is later seen along with the other Koopalings getting Bowser back up, only to have Bowser's castle fall on top of all of them. | ||
On a side note, unlike in the past titles, players fight Morton after [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] in this game. Also, in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', he is the boss of a desert world, while another desert world (though still the second world) is given to Roy in this game, and Morton gets a mountain level instead. In addition, neither Roy or Morton get the cloud level, but it is rather given to Ludwig. | |||

Morton reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' | Morton reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. This Koopaling is fought similarly to [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] in the predecessor. He is fought in the castle of [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]] and will stomp his foot and growl at Mario, like he did in the previous game. In his battle, he will create [[Spiked Ball]]s using his wand during the battle and use Ground Pounds to stun all players that are on the floor. Just like the other battles with the Koopalings the player has to jump on him to defeat him. Unlike the other Koopalings, because of the nature of his "boss fight" with Mario, he doesn't spend a limited amount of time in his shell upon being stomped, as he requires a pipe upon being stomped on to return to his position. After three stomps, Morton is defeated, leaving the key to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5]]. | ||
Morton survived the encounter, and rejoined his comrades at Bowser's castle, where they attempted to petrify Mario with their Koopa Clown Car's petrification device. He also aided Bowser alongside the rest of the Koopalings by causing him to grow larger, but it resulted in him and the others being knocked into a lava pit by Bowser due to his increased size. He and the other Koopalings survived, however, and attempted to help Bowser by airlifting him with the Koopa Clown Car, but this resulted in it crashing due to it being unable to handle the combined weight of both them and Bowser.

Morton returns in | Morton returns in the [[Wii U]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|its Nintendo Switch port]] as a boss. He is the boss of [[Layer Cake Desert]], much like how he was the boss of [[Desert Land]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'', he is the boss of the second world. Morton is battled in [[Morton's Compactor Castle]]. Like [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], Morton's boss battle involve him using a weapon instead of a magic wand. This time, it is a large hammer that's apparently filled with magic. He will once again stomp his foot at Mario when he sees him before battle. While he still shakes the ground by stomping on it, he'll use his hammer to knock giant [[Pokey]] segments in the player's way. He can knock Pokey segments straight at the player or knock them in high arcs. In addition, like most of the Koopalings (except for [[Roy Koopa]] and [[Ludwig von Koopa]]), Morton also fought the Mario Bros. in the cabin of his ship. Three stomps will have him fall offscreen. | ||
Despite this, Morton survived, and was later picked up along with the rest of the Koopalings by Bowser Jr., although they ended up escaping by hanging onto Bowser's tail after the latter inadvertently destroyed Bowser Jr.'s (already damaged) ship. | |||
Morton has his own personalized airship, with his face on the bow, and his black-colored shell at the deck of the ship. The stern of his ship has a gray color design, similar to his former shell color from past appearances. Like most of the airships, his airship is equipped with a propeller at the back as well as another just beneath the crow's nest. Morton's airship is equipped with four cannons, two on each side, like Roy's ship except that the cannons are placed vertically from each other. There are also grey lids on top of the cannons used for opening and closing the cannons. His airship has the biggest build of all the Koopaling ships. The ship is also made out of a darker wood than the other Airships, a reference to his darker skin tone. The cabin of his ship contains gold-tinted windows, gold [[Stone-Eye]] statues at the top of the room and a sand pit elevated on a platform. | |||
When Morton's airship appears at the roof of the castle, his voice sounds different from his usual voice. A similar oddity occurs with Roy's and Ludwig's airships. | |||

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoons produced by [[Nintendo]] and [[DIC Entertainment]], he was renamed '''Big Mouth Koopa''' (although he was once called "'''Big Mouth Koopa Jr.'''" on the bonus disc of ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' DVD set released by Shout! Factory, making him closer to his original namesake), ostensibly because he was more talk than action. In fact, he talks so much that someone frequently has to step in to stop his speeches (usually [[Bowser#DIC cartoons|King Koopa]] or [[Roy Koopa#DIC cartoons|Bully Koopa]]). He once performed a duet called "[[List of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 songs#Stomp My Name on the Walk of Fame|Stomp my Name on the Walk of Fame]]" with [[Wendy O.

Due to not knowing how to use Morton's wand, and thus left unable to change the king back, Luigi proceeds to track the Koopaling to his houseboat in [[Water Land]] and breaks in, prompting Morton to call Iggy and the Doom Ship for backup, only to be abandoned by his sibling when the bespectacled Koopaling spots Luigi. Forced to try and swim for it, Morton is eventually cornered and tipped onto his shell, leaving him helpless, on a small island by Luigi, who learns from Morton that the only way the king can be changed back to normal is with a special silver whistle, which Iggy is later revealed to possess. | ||
Three weeks later, Morton and five of his siblings show up as competitors in the International Mushroom Games, where the first prize is Iggy's whistle, which he won by cheating in last years competition.

If Luigi, who had been coerced by Bowser into searching for Wendy, tracks the female Koopaling down to her hideout, Bowser and the male Koopalings, who had been following him, will barge in after the plumber, but decide to stave off punishing Wendy for her mutiny if she helps search for the hiding Luigi. If Luigi had acquired [[Boom Boom]]'s socks earlier in his adventure, he can toss them into Wendy's simmering wand combination potion, which will release fumes that knock the entire Koopa family and their minions out for at least a week.

He is then seen in [[Neo Bowser Castle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Neo Bowser Castle]], where [[Hammer, Bros!|he attempts to stop the Mario gang]] from obtaining one of the [[Fire Ore]]s needed to create Papercraft Fire Mario. Later on in Neo Bowser Castle, after Mario and co. create the bridge leading to the Bowsers, he appears at the end of the bridge with Iggy and Lemmy, telling them to hurry up and push the button in order summon a large cannon that is aimed at Peach's Castle. At the end of the game, on top of Neo Bowser Castle, Morton is encountered one last time along with the rest of the Koopalings, where he is fought alongside Lemmy and Iggy. In his battle, he can mess up the bros' battle cards, making them do effects that are unknown to the player. After Lemmy and Iggy get dizzy from their own attacks, Morton attempts to get back at the Mario Bros. by lifting Iggy's Chain Chomp and throwing it at them. Mario and Luigi must use Paper Mario as a trampoline to bounce the Chain Chomp back to Morton. Failing to do so will result in an instant [[Game Over]]. Successfully bringing the Chain Chomp back to Morton will cause damage to him and leave him dizzy. He remains dizzy until it is his turn to attack again if he hasn't been defeated. After the battle, Morton utters some last words, where he tells Bowser to forgive them for failing to defeat Mario and the others before exploding. | ||

Even though according to the trophy of the fourth installment in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series Morton is proudly more brawn than brains, similarly to Roy, the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' manual implies that he is astute enough to realize whether there are any possible setbacks regarding defeating Mario and can likewise report the information to Bowser. Furthermore, in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', when Iggy and Lemmy are eager to fight the Mario Bros., Morton reminds them that they had just wiped out Wendy, Larry, Ludwig, and Roy beforehand.

Furthermore, in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', when Iggy and Lemmy are eager to fight the Mario Bros., Morton reminds them that they had just wiped out Wendy, Larry, Ludwig, and Roy beforehand. The English translation of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' manual instead tones down his thoughtful wording and makes him seem angry, a trait confirmed in the Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Super Mario Advance 4'', in which Morton is said to be a grouch with a cantankerous personality. Morton may have an interest in construction, as in ''Mario Kart 8'', there are advertisements for "Morton's Construction" with Morton's face on it. Curiously, in ''Ice Ice Outpost'' many containers and machines present the ''Morton'' or ''Morton Construction'' logo on them, suggesting that his company is collaborating with the Toads of the ''Toad Polar Expedition 2014-2015''. Along with construction, one of his stunts include him flexing his muscles, which indicates that he likes showing off his strength. This latter trait, along with the preference of brawn over brains, is exacerbated in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', in which he boasts about his strength and weight while talking in an unintelligent, loud and simple manner, such as saying ''"MORTON STRONG! MORTON MORE TONS!"''. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Morton's personality is between his ''Paper Jam'' and ''Color Splash'' depictions; here, he is always shouting and often speaks in the third person, as in ''Color Splash'', but his sentences are more complete and concise. | ||
A few of Morton's defining traits that surfaced in recent games, specifically in the Mario & Luigi series, is his loyalty and protectiveness to his comrades and the Royal Koopa family. This was first shown in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, with Iggy and Lemmy left disabled from their own attacks on the Mario Bros. that backfired on them, and Morton declaring his intent on avenging them. It was explored further in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', particularly with his relationship with Junior. Upon given the order to look after Junior by Bowser, Morton took his role as a protector seriously, keeping the Koopa prince happy by feeding him his favorite food, and even one of his skills as First Officer is placing himself in front of Junior, acting as a shield. Morton puts Junior's safety as priority and would fight anyone who has intentions of harming him, even from one of his own siblings, shown when he got in between Roy and Junior when the latter two were arguing. | |||
In ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', all the Koopalings were given names to match the personalities they were given and such was the case with Morton, whose name was changed to Big Mouth Koopa. Big Mouth was extremely talkative, to the point of never seeming to know when to stop talking, which continuously forced [[Roy Koopa| | In ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', all the Koopalings were given names to match the personalities they were given and such was the case with Morton, whose name was changed to Big Mouth Koopa. Big Mouth was extremely talkative, to the point of never seeming to know when to stop talking, which continuously forced [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] to interrupt him. According to the bio on the DVD set for ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', he was also extremely arrogant in regards to his intelligence, as well as exceptionally ignorant regarding the actual facts of the world, and he never accepts responsibility for being wrong, preferring to blame others instead. In addition, he was also known to make cutting remarks, which were severe enough to even make his father cry if directed at him. Very few actual ''Mario'' games ever gave Morton lines, although unused lines for ''Mario is Missing!'', which would have been used for a planned boss battle against Morton, implied that he was largely sarcastic and wise-cracking. | ||
===Powers and abilities=== | |||
Like Roy, Morton is one of the strongest Koopalings, using his weight to try and crush Mario or paralyze him by using a powerful [[Ground Pound|ground pound]], as in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and ''Super Mario World'', which even involved him running up the walls and dropping down from the ceiling. His debut appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' did ''not'' involve his earthquake-causing power, however, and he relied on the standard abilities shared with his siblings to fight, such as jumping and shooting magic blasts, although he generally doesn't use his magical abilities as much as his siblings. In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', he tended to use his magic wand once his enemies were already immobile, and the game also showed that he couldn't actually jump very high, unlike earlier depictions. He also has the ability to shoot spiked balls from his wand, as shown in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', he has a magic hammer that he uses to knock giant Pokey segments at the player. Like the other Koopalings, Morton can breathe fire, and in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', he used some sort of sonic screech against the Mario Bros., which is like Bowser Jr.'s [[Sonic Roar!]] Super Ability from ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. His bio on the Japanese ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' website also implies that Morton's strength is dependent on his weapon.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/smnj/story/index.html nintendo.co.jp - ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' character page] (Click on the blue circle with the arrow to reach the Koopaling page and click on the pictures to see the short bio of each of the Koopalings). [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960544-new-super-mario-bros-wii/52367637 Translation] (Retrieved November 13, 2011)</ref> In ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', Morton also was demonstrated to have a degree of superhuman strength, as he was shown effortlessly lifting and hurling a massive Chain Chomp at the Mario Bros. in an attempt to avenge Iggy and Lemmy. In ''Super Mario World'' at least, he was also shown to be somewhat athletic, as he was able to run up a wall and on the ceiling before striking a pose when landing. | |||
Despite his strengths, his size also resulted in him being unable to get up once he is forced onto his back, as evidenced by the ending for ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', where he ended up on his back as a result of the Koopa Clown Car crashing. | |||
Sprites relating to his planned appearance in ''Super Princess Peach'' implied that he would have inflated himself like a balloon at some point during the battle, as well as spit objects out and charge at her. | |||

Big Mouth loves to stir up trouble, and has a needling probing attitude that always gets it. He holds grudges against the whole world. | |||
