'''Roy Koopa''' (known as '''Bully Koopa''' in the [[DIC Entertainment|DIC]] 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''.]]

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.

[[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.

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.

The Koopalings are featured in the ''[[Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.]]'', a set of three Japanese OVAs. In ''[[Super Mario Momotarō]]'', Roy and his peers appear as minions of Bowser, aiding him in abducting [[Princess Peach]]. In ''[[Super Mario Shirayuki-hime]]'', Roy also appears in a similar role and ends up being defeated by Mario. He is voiced in this incarnation by Naoki Tatsuta, who also voiced Ludwig, Luigi, and Lemmy in the same anime.

[[File:SMWMAYAL Koopalings Attack.png|thumb|left|Roy and the other Koopalings in ''Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land'']]

In ''[[Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land]]'', Roy, alongside [[Lemmy]], [[Wendy]], [[Larry]], [[Ludwig]], and [[Morton]], ambushed Mario and Luigi at a fortress in [[Chocolate Island]]. 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.

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

Roy cameos in one panel of ''[[Fryguy High Yearbook -- Activity Page!]]'', where he is seen roasting weiners over a [[Fryguy]] with [[Iggy]], [[Lemmy]], and [[Morton]].

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.

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.

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.

{{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''}}

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).

[[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>). 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.

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 appears alongside the other Koopalings and [[Bowser Jr.]] as one of the racing opponents in the virtual reality game ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]''. He is seen using his personalized [[Koopa Clown]] from ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=September 3, 2020|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2mCqUSDCJE|title=Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=September 4, 2020}}</ref>

{{quote|Bahaha! Check it out - I’m gonna splat [[Mario|you]] with your own [[paint]]. How’s that for irony? Yeah, I know what irony is. BOOM. Knowledge is power, so I started going to night school.|'''Roy'''|''Paper Mario: Color Splash''}}  

Roy makes his [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. In this game, he is the final Koopaling to be fought. Shortly after Mario enters [[Black Bowser's Castle]], he falls down a pit after smashing Princess Peach's portrait with his hammer. He lands in a cell, where Roy and a bunch of [[Slurp Guy]]s await him. They steal all of Mario's [[paint]], alongside his 1-UP Mushroom Battle Cards, to use them against him in battle. Roy fires the paint with his [[Bill Blaster]] after a [[Shy Guy]] delivers the paint with a bucket.

After Roy has used all the paint colors or Mario has damaged him enough, he gets bored and mixes all the paint in his Bill Blaster to create [[black paint]]. He shoots the paint all across the cell, and the music changes to a creepy tune. During this time, Roy is nearly invisible and all of Mario's attacks will miss. If Mario uses the Washing Machine Thing, he cleans up the whole cell and destroys Roy's Bill Blaster. If a Replica is used, the start of the Washing Machine animation plays but then goes in reverse, negating the effects.<ref>{{cite|author=Fatguy703|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJae0y5BzhQ|date=February 5, 2017|title=Using Replicas Against The Koopalings - Paper Mario: Color Splash|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 18, 2024}}</ref> Roy can also attack by punching and jumping on Mario. After the battle, Mario gets his stolen 1-UP Mushroom cards back and Roy surrenders before he decides to take a nap.

Roy's idle pose is based on his artwork used in various material released in the 30th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros., including the ''[[Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]''

Roy is included (along with the other Koopalings) as a Boss in the Boss Deck of ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]''. He is the fifth Boss in the deck.

Roy appears as a doctor under the name '''Dr. Roy''' in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. He was added alongside [[Larry Koopa|Dr. Larry]] on February 3, 2020. Dr. Roy is available as a special stage reward in [[World 21]]. Dr. Roy's skill involves [[crate]]s, where in stage mode it immediately breaks up to 10 of them (8 prior to version 1.4.0) even if they are covered in another object (e.g. [[ice (Dr. Mario World)|ice]]) unless they are locked behind cages, while in versus mode it sends a number of them to the opponent's play area, where they fill in any gaps available starting from the topmost row, followed by left to right. Each crate sent this way requires breaking twice to fully remove. The amount of crates sent differ based on level, where it is two at level 1 and eight at level 4 and 5 (the latter has the added effect of filling the skill meter faster). In stage mode, using this skill when there are no more crates left will eliminate a random [[virus]] or object (if there are no viruses left), although [[capsule]]s cannot be removed by this skill.

[[File:Roy colouring book.png|thumb|left|The current appearance of Roy in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]]''.]]

Roy has the same yellow-and-tan skin complexion as the other Koopalings, but his head is mauve instead of the standard green coloration. In the [[Family Computer]] version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', however, he was depicted as having darker skin similar to Morton. Roy has two fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his snout, they are the same as Larry's. His mouth is feline-shaped, as his lips are deeply curved, and his nose is flat. His head is a very simple round shape, and like the other Koopalings, he has a four-ribbed, plated belly and padded feet. While Roy's eyes have never been seen in a game, they have been depicted with various inconsistent designs in the DiC cartoons, manga, and comics.

Roy has always been rather large when compared to the other Koopalings, though his posture causes him to appear shorter than Morton and Iggy. He is depicted with long arms and hunched shoulders, much like a gorilla. His shell was originally magenta; it was portrayed as green in the SNES version of ''Mario is Missing'' (due to Ludwig, Iggy, and Roy, heads aside, reusing the same body type for their sprites, which featured a green shell), and his unused sprites from ''Super Princess Peach'' uses similar colors. In Roy's most recent and current appearances, the shell is purple, lined with a white encasing, and bears multiple short spikes circled with hot magenta rings. His in-game sprites in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' use a blue palette in his boss battle, and a gray palette in the ending cast roll; the game's graphics do, in fact, contain a fuchsia palette which would fit his head and shell, but for unknown reasons, this is applied to Ludwig's cast roll sprite instead. The ''Super Mario-kun'' design for his character gives him a third fang in the middle similar to Ludwig's. Roy wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other Koopalings, but his distinctive trademark is a pair of cat-eyed hot magenta sunglasses; his Japanese ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' site bio describes these glasses as "Bad Boy sunglasses," and says that they are his most defining feature.<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> Although Roy's NES and SNES/GBA sprites for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' are fairly faithful to his artwork, his sunglasses are depicted as having white and yellow frames respectively, instead of their trademark hot magenta frames.

In the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' manual and materials related to the game, Roy speaks in {{wp|Kansai dialect}}, which the later games seem to have omitted in favor of him speaking in slang. The American medium shows him as a typical bully who usually beats people up for his own amusement (hence the alternate name Bully). This character trait also carries over to ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', where he is shown to enjoy bullying the lower-ranked soldiers of the Koopa Troop. In most appearances, he is nonetheless depicted as preferring brawn and aggression over his brains, but he is usually summarized as pretty quick-witted and more intelligent compared to Morton. In anger when encountering them in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', he roars at the player to go with his attitude. In addition, his usage of a [[Bill Blaster]] in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games suggests that he likes using firearms as well. Roy outright says that "books are dumb" in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', and like his brother [[Morton]], one of Roy's stunts in ''Mario Kart 8'' has him showing off his muscles. He also says that the reason why he is not fond of Bowser Jr. emulating his father’s selfish and rude behavior in ''Bowser Jr.’s Journey'' was because he does not like anyone other than himself being that way. That game as well as ''Bowser’s Minions'' indicate that Roy can be a patronizing hypocrite. In the ''New Super Mario U'' adaptation for the gag manga ''Super Mario Kun'', Roy is indicated to be very vulgar, as he, when encountering the Mario Bros., proceeded to bend over and fart directly in Ludwig and Iggy's faces.

Despite his tendencies towards relying on strength, Roy shows some degree of planning capability at times. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', he specifically notes that he has a [[Time Bob-omb|time bomb]] present to deter the Mario Bros. from beating him easily. Similarly, in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' he shows some degree of common sense, acknowledging the possibility of Bowser being abducted due to Bowser being somewhat naïve, and after being restored to normal from brainwashing, he also warns [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] that the [[Elite Trio]] had set a time bomb on the Koopa Cruiser. It's also implied that he was also pragmatic enough to recognize he needs to praise Captain Goomba and his men to motivate the troops to free Bowser. In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', he tells Mario that he started going to night school because ''knowledge is power'', and steals Mario's color and using it as ammo for his paint launcher before eventually blacking out the arena with black paint; Huey in particular yells that there were "treaties" against the former. His trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' also hints that he is pretty quick to act as a soldier when the situation calls for it.
