'''Roy Koopa''' (known as '''Bully Koopa''' in the cartoons) is one of the [[Koopalings]], a clan of seven siblings<ref>[http://newsupermariobrosu.nintendo.com/characters/#/koopalings As explained on the Koopalings' profile on the ''New Super Mario Bros.

From what has been revealed about Roy's personality, he is more brawn than brains, preferring brute force over thinking things through, although he is usually seen as more intelligent than [[Morton]]. Despite this gruff, tough-guy demeanor, Roy originally wore a magenta shell. He now wears a purple shell with magenta rings around his spikes to give him a more distinct appearance from his siblings. Roy also wears hot magenta sunglasses similar to his namesake, the rock and roll musician {{wp|Roy Orbison}}.

In the game's intro, Roy, Bowser Jr., and the other Koopalings sneak into Princess Peach's birthday party in a giant cake and use it to capture her. They then escape on their airship with Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad pursuing.

In his tower, Roy fires magic as Mario ascends it. In his first fight, Roy's arena is similar to [[Larry]]'s first arena, except that it is surrounded by quicksand. Before battling Roy, he is shocked that Mario and co. made it to him and roars at them. In battle, Roy ground pounds like a [[Sledge Bro]] and [[Morton]]. Mario will be stunned by the resulting shockwave if he is on the ground. He will then hop twice before ground  pounding again. Roy's magic is purple in color, and his casting speed is faster than Larry, but the speed of the magic blasts is the same. Like most other bosses, three stomps on the head defeats him. Roy leaves the fortress and flees to the castle at the end.

In the second fight, the arena closes up and there are no hazards. However, [[Kamek]] flies overhead and casts a spell on the ceiling, causing five huge [[Warp Pipe]]s of different lengths to protrude from the ceiling. In battle, Roy will jump into a Warp Pipe and trick Mario by pretending to come out of one, only to go back inside. He will then come out of the pipe directly above Mario, and slam the ground which will stun Mario. In combination with creating a shockwave, the attack also hurts Mario, should he touch Roy as he pops out out the Warp Pipe. After three stomps, Roy is defeated and Mario claims the key that unlocks [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]].

Roy appears in the ending along with the rest of the Koopalings, although they end up escaping by hanging onto Bowser's tail after the latter inadvertently destroyed Bowser Jr's (already damaged) ship.

Unlike the other Koopalings, Roy's render for ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' is an alteration of his ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' render, with his wand-wielding hand being replaced by the Bill Blaster held on his shoulder, and the entire image being mirrored; similarly, [[Larry]]'s ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' artwork is simply reused from the previous game, with only minor details tweaked. Additionally, in his ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' artwork, Roy has a Bill Blaster in his left hand, while in-game, he holds it in his right hand; the same occurs with [[Lemmy]] and his star bombs.

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

After several years of absence in a ''Super Mario'' game, Roy makes a return appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. During [[Bowletta]]'s invasion of the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], Roy acts as a guard in [[Bowser's Castle]], being the fifth Koopaling to be fought. His puzzle room involves having Mario jump onto a higher ledge while Luigi remains on the lower ledge; afterwards, the Bros. have to activate [[Simu-Block]]s to create a path over a pool of lava to where Roy is waiting. After making their way through Roy's puzzle-filled room, Mario and Luigi approach the Koopaling, who flees at the sight of them. Leaving Roy's room, Mario and Luigi are then ambushed by the Koopaling, but manage to defeat him. Defeating Roy causes a barrel to fall into the area, allowing the brothers to make their way to [[Wendy]]'s room.

In his battle, Roy attacks by spitting fireballs like the other Koopalings, spinning in his shell akin to [[Ludwig]]'s attack, and stomping the ground, sending shock waves at Mario and Luigi; similar to [[Morton]], the number of spins he does in midair shows how many shockwaves the attack produces. However, unlike Morton, Roy sometimes stomps the ground at a distance, with the resulting shock waves coming close at once. Roy is also the first Koopaling to have a [[Time Bob-omb]] on his side during battle, which forces Mario and Luigi to defeat him in eight turns.

Roy reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. He first appears in [[Doop Doop Dunes]] with [[Larry]], [[Wendy]] and [[Ludwig]] where they capture Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario. Before Roy leaves with the other Koopalings, he notices the book in the ground dropped by Mario and co. and was seemly about to take it before he gets interrupted by [[Bowser Jr.]], who takes the book from the ground. He later appears in the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]] alongside Wendy where they oversee the mining of a special ore that Bowser requires. During this encounter, he is fought alongside Wendy (they planned on fighting alongside Larry, but the latter failed to show), rationalizing they probably will not be much effort. After being beaten, Roy vowed to fight them again while calling Mario and co. chumps before being forced to retreat. When Mario and co. are making their way through [[Gloomy Woods]] to get to [[Mount Brrr]] again, they need to defeat Roy in his Clown Car in the mission [[Back Atcha, Roy!]]. At the end of the game, on top of [[Neo Bowser Castle]], Roy is encountered one last time along with the other Koopalings. Roy and Wendy briefly tell the Mario gang that they will finish them once and for all before fighting them one last time. After being defeated by Mario and co., Roy utters that he regrets everything before disappearing in a shower of stars.

Like the other Koopalings, he is actually driving a mass-produced version of the Junior Clown Car (as noted by the yellow light bulbs that serve as its eyes). The rim and propeller of his Junior Clown Car are colored red (his signature color). He also reuses his voice clips from his appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', thus he is voiced by Dan Falcone.
