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 Koopa Jr.|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 with a [[magic wand]] appearing in ''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 von Koopa|Ludwig]], are the only Koopalings with this ability. Roy can also shoot energy blasts from his stolen wand.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Roy takes over the [[Forest of Illusion]] as Bowser invades [[Dinosaur Land]]. In this battle, Roy uses [[Morton Koopa Jr.|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 von Koopa|Ludwig]] is given a magenta palette likely intended for Roy.

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.

Orange paint causes Mario to feel [[Self-conscious|self-conscious]] and only use pre-painted cards.

The green paint effect slows down the music and red paint speeds it up. The music does not change for the purple and orange paint status effects.


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.

[[File:Roy colouring book.png|thumb|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.

In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Roy's appearance is unaltered compared to most ''Super Mario'' characters, including Bowser. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', however, his appearance is slightly updated, as are those of Bowser Jr. and the other Koopalings; Roy receives a slightly darker and subdued color scheme, while his spikes, shell, and sunglasses receive simple detailing.

Line 468: Line 482:
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 Koopa Jr.|Morton]], one of Roy's stunts in ''Mario Kart 8'' has him showing off his muscles. He also says that the reason why he's not fond of Bowser Jr. emulating his father’s selfish and rude behavior in ''Bowser Jr.’s Journey'' was because he doesn’t 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.

As indicated by his use of Mario's paint in ''Color Splash'', much of Roy's planning ability exhibits itself through dirty tactics, established as early as his appearance in the book [[Leaping Lizards]]. In both ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and its remake in particular, he initially appears to run from Mario and Luigi, with the next section of Bowser's Castle unlocking as usual, only to ambush the Mario Bros. as they proceed. However, even his love of fighting dirty has its limitations; in the remake, while brainwashed earlier in the story, Roy seems to disapprove of Fawful's plan to have the then-brainwashed Elite Trio set up the aforementioned time bomb, calling it "cowardly." His bio in ''Super Mario Pia'' also implies that his scoundrel behavior is an act.
