'''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. U'' official site],{{dead link}} as well as [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Larry's ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' trophy]].</ref> that act as leaders of the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Troop]] under [[Bowser]] ([[Koopalings#Family relationship|originally considered his children]]). 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}}.

[[File:SMB3 RoyKoopa.jpg|thumb|left|Roy's original design for ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Roy is charged by Bowser with taking over [[Sky Land]]. Roy steals the [[magic wand]] of Sky Land's [[Kings|king]] and transforms him into either a duck or an [[Albatoss]] with it, depending on which version of the game it is. He then proceeded to rule the kingdom with an iron fist. Learning that Mario had various abilities on him, Roy also expresses some nervousness on whether he and the other Koopalings could beat him.

Once Mario makes it through Sky Land, he manages to reach Roy's [[airship]]. He reaches Roy's cabin as well, where he fights Roy. In battle, Roy leaps at Mario and tries to crush him with his ground-shaking stomps. He, along with [[Ludwig]], are the only Koopalings with this ability. Roy can also shoot energy blasts from his stolen wand.

The official [[Prima Games]] guide of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' describes that Roy is "a little heavier than his younger family", which might indicate that Roy is one of the older Koopalings.{{ref needed}}

[[File:Mario fighting Roy SMW art.jpg|thumb|Artwork of Mario fighting Roy from ''Super Mario World'']]

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Roy takes over the [[Forest of Illusion]] as Bowser invades [[Dinosaur Land]]. In this battle, Roy uses [[Morton]]'s attack pattern by climbing up the walls of his room and dropping down from the ceiling in an attempt to crush Mario. Unlike the last battle, the walls of the arena steadily close in, giving Mario less of an easy time to avoid the attacks. Mario can defeat Roy by jumping on his head three times or hitting him with twelve fireballs. After being defeated, Mario detonates [[5 Roy's Castle|his castle]] with explosives. Humorously, the explosives fail to detonate in time, proceeding to explode just as Mario approaches the castle to investigate and causing him to be covered in soot and left tattered.

In gameplay, Roy uses the same palette as the blue [[Koopa Troopa]]s, while in the end credits he uses a gray palette. This palette was likely intended for Morton; [[Ludwig]] is given a magenta palette likely intended for Roy.

[[File:NSMBW Roy Castle Battle.png|thumb|upright=1.66|Roy's castle battle with [[Fire Mario]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]

Roy, along with the rest of the Koopalings, appears in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' as a boss. He has a purple shell instead of a pink shell from the past games. Unlike his past appearances, where he is the fifth Koopaling that the player had to fight, Roy is the second boss and appears in [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2]] instead.

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]].

This is also the first game where the player faces Roy before facing [[Morton]]. Also, he is not the boss of a sky world (as he is in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''), but rather a desert world (which Morton is the boss of in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'').

Roy returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', along with the rest of the Koopalings. Roy appears as the boss of {{world-link|1|castlen2|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}. He once again roars at Mario before battling him. In addition, in the prologue, he reveals to the player that he and the other Koopalings kidnapped Peach during the Mario Bros.' coin hunt by unveiling Peach from within the clown car. He also shows up at the end of {{world-link|1|towern2|World 1-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}, coming down with a chain to taunt at Mario.

In his battle, Roy charges toward Mario or Luigi (as he would have done in his [[List of Super Princess Peach pre-release and unused content|canceled ''Super Princess Peach'' appearance]]), and shoots magenta fireballs with his magic wand to hit them. The Mario Bros. need to bait Roy into ramming into a wall to stun him. This in return will leave Roy vulnerable to being jumped on. Alternatively, the Mario Bros. can jump on Roy while he is doing the charge attack.

Roy later rejoins the rest of his comrades at Bowser's castle. There, they use the Koopa Clown Car's petrification device in an attempt to petrify Mario. Afterward, he, along with the rest of the Koopalings, try to aid Bowser by causing him to grow larger, although this results in Bowser knocking them into a lava pit. He and the others survive and try once more to aid Bowser by airlifting him, but the combined weight causes the Koopa Clown Car to crash. Roy, in the aftermath of the crash, breaks the [[fourth wall]] by hanging on to part of the "credits" and thus ends up going up to the sky.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====

[[File:NSMBU Roy Artwork.png|thumb|left|Roy's artwork for ''New Super Mario Bros. U]]

[[File:NSMBURoyKoopa.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Roy in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']]

Roy appears again in the [[Wii U]] title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|its Nintendo Switch port]]. Roy is the boss of [[Rock-Candy Mines]], the sixth World of the game. He is once again surprised by Mario's arrival and roars in response. His battle strategy is to shoot [[Bullet Bill]]s with his cannon and jump between platforms that move parallel to each other during the fight. He occasionally shoots Bullet Bills. He can also jump high in the air and ground pound the floor or platform, which makes him fire Bullet Bills on both sides of his blaster (however, this does not stun Mario like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''). The ground pound can also make the floating platforms appear after he comes out of his shell. Instead of fighting the Mario Bros. in the cabin room like his siblings, he is fought on the crow's nest, like [[Ludwig]]. Jumping on Roy three times (or shooting enough fireballs at him), causes him to fall offscreen.

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.

[[File:AnimeRoy.jpg|thumb|Roy being punched by Mario in the ''Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.'' movie]]

Roy appeared in the [[Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land|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.

===DIC cartoons===

[[File:BullyKoopa.jpg|thumb|left|Bully Koopa in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]".]]

In the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoons produced by [[Nintendo]] and [[DIC Entertainment]], Roy Koopa is renamed '''Bully Koopa'''. As his name would imply, Bully constantly pummels and pulls cruel pranks on friend and foe alike. Bully seems to have less screen time than most of the [[Koopalings#DIC cartoons|Koopa Kids]], with the exception of [[Lemmy Koopa#DIC cartoonss|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa#DIC cartoons|Hop]]. However, he did have a major role in "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]", "[[Do the Koopa]]", "[[Recycled Koopa]]", "[[Crimes R Us]]", and "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]". He is also seen having supporting roles in "[[Mush-Rumors]]" and "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]". "The Yoshi Shuffle" is Bully's last animation appearance. He is given a heavy [[Brooklyn]] accent in the DiC cartoons, and unlike in the video games, the character wears a spiked collar, has two spikes on his tail but only one spike in the center of his shell, his mouth is rounded instead of feline-shaped, his fingers are more slender than before and he is regarded as the oldest and tallest Koopa Kid. Bully is voiced by [[Dan Hennessey]].

At the beginning of the book, if Mario decides to trust a clone of Luigi created by the [[GLOM]], follows it into an alleyway behind [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]] and straps on an odd vest it hands him, he is pulled up into the sky, and onto the Doom Ship. Before Mario can react, Roy catches him in a net, shoves him into a cage with the real Luigi, and pushes the two overboard after placing the cage in a large sack, causing a [[Game Over]].

In ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', Roy and five of his siblings enter the International Mushroom Games, where Roy is the first Koopaling to compete. In two of three possible scenarios in the obstacle course, Roy cheats to get second place, and in the final one, he is knocked out of the race when [[Rocky Wrench]], a member of an opposing team called the Sneaks, cuts a hole in his [[magic carpet|flying carpet]] during the last stretch. After his carpet is sabotaged, Roy lands in a patch of Munchers, but is left uneaten due to the plants finding his tough skin unappetizing.

In ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', Roy and his brothers have their wands stolen by Wendy, who disappears with them shortly afterward, intent on overthrowing their father with her own army (and a super wand she plans to create by fusing her own wand with her brothers'). 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, barge in after Luigi, 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.

Roy appears in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC and]] [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES versions of the game]]. In it, Roy has a green shell, rather than his usual magenta coloration. Following Bowser to the real world, Roy plans on aiding him in his plot to melt [[Antarctica]] and flood the [[Earth]]. Roy is eventually defeated again in the corridor of [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's castle]] by [[Luigi]], who had been searching for his kidnapped brother. He also taunted Luigi by stating that even if the latter managed to succeed in sealing all the doors to the various parts of Earth, Bowser will still win due to "being up to their tails" in terms of hair dryer amounts. He remains resolute in his belief that Bowser will succeed even as Luigi prepares to defeat Roy with a fireball, informing him as much.

[[File:Safari Roy Battery.png|frame|Roy in ''Yoshi's Safari'']]

In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', Roy appears as the boss of [[Float Castle I]]. Roy battles Mario and [[Yoshi]] in a large hot-air balloon equipped, at first, with a cannon at the bottom of the basket and two arms on the balloon that throw bombs. After these armaments are blown off, the balloon gets angry and unleashes six cannons. Despite having this mass amount of firepower, Roy is still defeated by Mario's [[Super Scope]].

[[File:HM Roy.png|thumb|left|Roy in ''Hotel Mario'']]

In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', Roy is in charge of and the boss of [[Roy's HardBrick Hotel]], a hotel with somewhat shoddy electrical wiring. Fought on [[Roy's Rowdy Rooftop]], Roy uses the same attack pattern against Mario in this game as he did in ''Super Mario World'': climbing up the walls and falling from the ceiling, trying to stomp Mario. He also can extend his arms to punch Mario if he is on the floor above or below Roy.<ref name=Polas>{{cite|author=Polas|date=April 10, 2005|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20061120103354/http://www.goodtimeretrocafe.com/cdi/hmario.html|title=Hotel Mario review|publisher=Polas' Goodtime Retro Cafe|accessdate=May 18, 2024}}</ref> Like some of the other bosses, he can completely devour the player if he happens upon an elevator. Ultimately, Roy is once again beaten by the Mario Bros.

[[File:MLSSKoopaling3.png|frame|left|Roy in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.]]

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.

Roy and Wendy are also the first two Koopalings to be summoned together by [[Dry Bowser]] in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Ring]].

During their boss battles, Roy retreats in his shell to toss Wendy at the Bros. and Paper Mario, and can throw either a ball-shaped rock or a boulder at them. If the boulder is countered successfully, a chunk of it chips off and hits Wendy, who may retaliate by beating up Roy. If she does not retaliate, Roy sighs in relief. Wendy will never attack Roy when fought alongside Dry Bowser, however. When alone, like Wendy, Ludwig and Larry he creates giant magic fireballs with his wand.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====

{{quote|Hey, stupid face! Yeah, you! Check this out… When [[Time Bob-omb|this]] reaches zero, it’s game over!|'''Roy'''|''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''}}

Roy appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where he reprises his role from the original game with added dialogue. In his battle, Roy now explains the Time Bob-omb's function directly, and his fireball attack has been modified slightly; In addition to spitting fireballs at Mario and Luigi individually, he can also spit two fireballs that target both of them at once. These fireballs will bounce on the ground once before landing on Mario and Luigi. Roy also no longer sends shock waves at Mario and Luigi, as that ability is now used only by Morton.

He also appears in the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' sub-mode. Roy first appears in the game's opening where he, Wendy, and Iggy proceed to taunt two Goombas, also entering a brief argument with Wendy when she made a smart remark at his expense. Upon learning that the [[Koopa Cruiser]] was under attack, he and Wendy attempt to stop the attack, but learn to their shock that, while the attack was quelled, the main engine took a direct hit and was due to explode. He later spends his time trying to find Bowser, and eventually reunites with the other Koopalings, where they discuss both how to find Bowser and simultaneously casually knocking away several [[Beanie]]s that were provoked by them being on their territory. However, [[Fawful]] proceeds to brainwash them with his mind control spray (albeit in a significantly higher dose than usual due to their strong wills). Roy later tries to ambush [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] at [[Joke's End]] shortly after his troops restore the Koopa Cruiser. However, shortly after being restored to normal, upon their hearing unusual beeping sounds, he warns them to get far away from the Koopa Cruiser, as the [[Elite Trio]] set a time bomb on it, and also makes it clear he is not warning them because he likes or even respects them; rather, they would need to rescue all of the troops for them to garner his respect. Later, after the Koopalings are beaten as part of a test, he grudgingly admits that Captain Goomba made a good leader overall (though he later denies being sincere when Wendy asked).

Roy's official artwork for this game is based on his ''Super Mario World'' artwork.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====

[[File:BISDX Artwork - Roy.png|thumb|Artwork of Roy from ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''.]]

{{quote|I’ve had enough! [[Bowser Jr.|You]]’re selfish and rude. That’s MY thing! I’d rather explain myself to Lord Bowser than put up with you a second longer!|'''Roy'''|''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''}}

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Roy appears in the game's ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' sub-mode. Roy was given the task of clearing out Goombas that had been infected with the [[blorbs]] while Bowser went off to confront Peach at her castle, due to not being invited to their conference. Roy does so by shoving the blorbed Goombas in a broom closet, surprised at the sheer amount of them; he says that between the blorbed Goombas and the brooms he hates sweeping with, something will have to give. Roy then realizes Bowser Jr. is not doing any work at all, and vents his annoyance at him; said annoyance is further heightened when Bowser Jr. forces a Goomba squad into another round of play-fighting due to not knowing how to count. Roy points out that Bowser Jr. will be their boss someday and that he should act the part, before he and the others are distracted by the arrival of the [[Best Fitness Friends]].

Roy sarcastically mentions that Bowser would let anyone in the castle before demanding that the trio leave, only to end up calling them back after Wendy pointed out that they might be able to help cure the blorbs. The BFFs then present their sales pitch on the [[Skeletone Formula:D]], advertising it as a perfect cure for the Blorbs. Upon watching them cure a blorbed Goomba, Roy demands that they hand over all of their Skeletone; the Best Fitness Friends claim that they only had a sample at the time, although they do provide the recipe. Roy then sets off with Bowser Jr. and the other Koopalings (apart from Lemmy) to find the [[Giga-carrot]] in [[Dimble Wood]].

Eventually, Roy declares he has had enough of Bowser Jr.'s bratty nature and leaves the group following an argument. Afterwards, he encountered several minions who were brainwashed with the Malatone Formula :X, constantly forcing him to fight against them all the way back to the castle. He is later seen standing outside of Bowser's Castle, collapsing from exhaustion induced by the constant fighting. Despite reaching his limit and having his mind blank out, Roy attempts to continue fighting alone. Bowser Jr. challenges Roy to a one-on-one fight to stop him from being so reckless, and [[Kamek]] heals him, hoping the fight will end in a draw if they're both at full strength. In spite of Junior fainting afterward, Roy ends up joining the group.

Bowser Jr. then attempts to apologize to Roy for his previous actions; Roy does not fully accept his apology until after Morton returns, when Bowser Jr. apologizes to all of the Koopalings at once. After defeating the BFFs as well as their fused form, Roy organized the celebration festivities for the Koopa Corps' victory, with Bowser Jr. ordering him to go ahead with the fireworks. During the credits, Roy and Bowser Jr. attempted to compete with each other regarding bulging muscles.

In the post-game. Roy and Bowser Jr. are both lying around out of boredom when the [[Koopa Paratroopa Trio]] attempt to get a shot to show-off for Fawful, only to be reminded that Fawful was already defeated. Roy scolds the Paratroopas for wearing sunglasses in front of him and fights them alongside Bowser Jr.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===

In the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, Roy is first featured as a [[Mii]] costume in both ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''. He is playable in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|date=December 20, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfEplDfl1fg|title=【マリオ＆ソニック ＡＴ リオオリンピック】オリンピック競技：ビーチバレー|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 18, 2024}}</ref> but only in [[Beach Volleyball (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|Beach Volleyball]]. In the [[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Wii U)|Wii U version]], Roy appears only as a Mii outfit.

===''Mario Kart'' series===

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====

[[File:MK8 Electrodrome Roy Badwagon.png|thumb|Roy, in ''Mario Kart 8'']]

Roy, alongside the rest of the Koopalings, appears as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. This game marks his first appearance as a playable character, and he is also unlockable. Unlike the other Koopalings, he is still voiced by his voice actor in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, [[Dan Falcone]]. His nickname in a Japanese Nintendo Direct for ''Mario Kart 8'' is ｢重量級の暴走タートル」<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-I4diarSU0 "New Drivers!" in the Japanese Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref>{{dead link}}, or "Heavy Runaway Turtle" (localized as the "Bespectacled Brute"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flpfRzP2ONU "New Challengers" in the European Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref> or "Runaway Heavyweight Koopa"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ "New Challengers" in the North American Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref>). His emblem is a purple silhouette of his head on a black background, and his losing animation has him slapping his face and shaking his head.

Like Morton, Roy is also a heavyweight racer, but he gives up some speed and weight to boost his acceleration, handling, and traction attributes a little. He shares this trait with [[Donkey Kong]], [[Waluigi]], [[Rosalina]], and [[Link]].

Roy is the Staff Ghost for {{classic-link|Wii|Grumble Volcano}}. Several courses such as [[Electrodrome]] and {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}} feature advertisements for "Roy Smooth Sounds", with a logo of Roy's glasses and headphones. The logo is also on the back of the [[Badwagon]].

Roy's main color for his [[Standard]] parts and [[Pipe Frame]] is his signature purple, and his secondary color is red. The color scheme selection of his other parts is also based on purple, making it identical to that of Purple [[Mii]]s. This makes Roy the only Koopaling whose color schemes match completely with a Mii of a single color.

Roy returns in the [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', this time as a default character. He now shares stats with only Waluigi and Donkey Kong.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====

Roy appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a Normal driver, added in the [[Tokyo Tour]] alongside the rest of the Koopalings. His [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] is the [[Double Bob-ombs]].

Since his addition, Roy has been obtainable from every regular tour pipe (excluding the All-Clear Pipe), and he is also a part of the base Daily Select set. The following table lists additional availabilities for Roy throughout the game's history.
