| == Something that's been bugging me ==
| |
|
| |
| "Mario Kart 8 describes him as a "showy anti-hero", referencing his arrogance and his cruelness, though his Japanese blurb, "showoff villain hero" shows that he is a show-off, and maybe he isn't all bad."
| |
|
| |
| We know he is a show-off villain hero in the Japanese blurb. But the thing about being a showy anti hero has been there for longer. Now I must know if that was a mistranslation, or some other place that the person who added it got this from. {{User:Koopakoolklub/sig}} 20:54, 10 May 2014 (EDT)

| :I didn't write that lovely bit of crufty over-extrapolation, but the "showoff villain-hero" in the MK8 section was my attempt to translate 目立ちたがりの悪役ヒーロー ''medachitagari no okuyaku hīrō'', which, as I said in the [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Ludwig_von_Koopa&diff=1672386&oldid=1670592 edit summary] is more literally the "showoff villain-role hero", so the hero as far as the villains are concerned, but nothing really captures that eloquently. "Anti-hero" might be an earlier translation attempt, but it's no good because it means a hero who doesn't have the usual heroic qualities (i.e. a "villainous hero", so that'd be wrong too). The English bio from the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flpfRzP2ONU NoE Nintendo Direct] just calls him the "conductor of chaos", so that's no help either way. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:01, 11 May 2014 (EDT)

| == German Name ==
| |
|
| |
| Ludwig is a German name... Not a English one. This is fitting with the German "von" in his name.

| ==Are Ludwig's voice clips in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. edition actually new?==
| |
|
| |
| There is currently an ongoing edit debate on whether David J. Goldfarb or Mike Vaughn should be indicated as latest portrayal for Ludwig. On the ground of Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition being released later, Mike Vaughn was left as only voice actor for Ludwig. However, his site on imdb (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1993995/?ref_=nmexst_exst_nm) doesn't include that game. Since it is based on the New Super Mario Bros. series, could that game be reusing the voice clips from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, like in the case of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U?--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 13:54, 10 November 2015 (EST)
| |
| :Ludwig's voice clips in ''P&D:SMB Edition'' are definitely by Mike Vaughn. However, his imdb page claims his voice clips are also used for ''Mario & Sonic at 2016 Olympics'', while I think one of Ludwig's grunts was reused from ''Mario Kart 8'' where David J. Goldfarb voiced him. Also according to [[Talk:Iggy Koopa#Mike Vaughn don't voicing Iggy in Mario Kart 8|this]], another user got an answer from Vaughn that he didn't voice Iggy in ''MK8'', while claiming that he voiced Ludwig in that game which we know to be false. [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|Talk]]) ([[User:SmokedChili/Thoughts Page|Thoughts]]) 11:40, 18 November 2015 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| I think it's definitely David Goldfarb who voicing Ludwig in the 2016 olympics game. In terms of sources, imbd is definetely not a good one. But Unless confirmation from an sure source, nothing tell us that it's really Mike Vaughn's or David Goldfarb voice clips that has been reused for this game.
| |
| It's still unclear concerning this, since the only sounds heard from Ludwig is a grunt.

| == Ludwig, leader of the Koopalings? ==
| |
| I found this on Mario & Luigi Paper Jam boss battle with Larry and Ludwig. Larry speak at Ludwig naming it "boss". I will upload a image that show it. Do this confirm that Ludwig is the leader of the Koopalings?--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}} 11:50, 4 December 2015 (EST)
| |
| [[File:M&L-PJ - Ludwig & Larry Boss Battle.PNG|200px|left|]] That's what I want to say.--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}} 11:55, 4 December 2015 (EST)

| {{br|left}}
| |
| :It's also been said he's the self-appointed leader: [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Koopalings&diff=prev&oldid=1917623 the reference was added here] (linking to a YouTube video), although it said the others contested it, whereas by this point, I guess they're going along with it? - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 12:39, 4 December 2015 (EST)
| |
| ::If I'm not mistaken, in that moment when Ludwig's authority is debated Larry says he's fighting with him by his own free will, not because he's some kind of leader, so he probably still thinks Ludwig has some authority. By the way, before the first battle (that of the screenshot, not that where Ludwig's authority is discussed) begins, Larry calls Ludwig "brother", so this is a direct confirmation that the Koopalings are sibling (the SSB4 trophy was indirect if I remember correctly).[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 14:47, 4 December 2015 (EST)

| == The 30th anniversary books' bios of Ludwig von Koopa ==
| |
| In the same way that I reported the bios of Larry Koopa, here are the bios of Ludwig von Koopa from the 30th anniversary books, including a tentative translation that surely must be revised. Ludwig's name in the books is ルドウィッグ, so as expected, no surname here.<br />

| |
| ''Has a cute protruding fang-like tooth. In his first appearance, he attacked by causing earthquakes with his jumps.''<br />
| |
|
| |
| Again, there is much work to do, especially regarding the bio, still it's interesting to see that his mountain in Super Mario World is actually called Cracker Mountain. Furthermore, now a pattern starts to appear: in the encyclopedia the bio talks about him and the enemies sections talk about his attacks, while the memorial book goes dental and talks about the first appearance.<br />

| |
| ::It is horrible indeed. 目立ちたがり is show-off, while 派 is "faction, group", 脳 is "brain", and 頭 is "head", so it seems that the bio says that Ludwig is a show-off with regards to intellectual things, that he likes to demonstrate that his intelligence is superior.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:51, 17 December 2015 (EST)

| == Portrayals in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam ==
| |
|
| |
| Who voice Ludwig and Wendy in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam? Because Ludwig and Wendy's page implied it is David J. Goldfarb and Ashley Flannegan, but Mike Vaughn and Lani Minella's page say they voice them in Paper Jam. So, who voice Ludwig and Wendy?--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}} 20:08, 14 December 2015 (EST)
| |
| :The Koopalings' voice clips are taken from Mario Kart 8, this is why these two actors are indicated as the voices of Ludwig and Wendy instead of Vaughn and Minella.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 20:33, 14 December 2015 (EST)
| |
| ::So, the informations should be add on Goldfarb and Flannegan's page instead of Vaughn and Minella. I will make the change.--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}} 20:37, 14 December 2015 (EST)

| == Paper Mario: Color Splash ==

| |
| Two [https://youtu.be/xKB_FBDVvx0?t=1487 Japanese] [https://youtu.be/fQRKubvt_GI?t=54 videos] showing the battle with Ludwig indicate that some parts mentioned in the ''Personality and traits'' section have apparently been added by the Treehouse team: in particular, all references to classical music don't appear at the beginning of the battle (suggesting that NCL still doesn't consider Ludwig a composer of classical music) and Ludwig is not called ''Your Evilness'' by the Paratroopas. The only confirmed parts appear to be Ludwig designing the Super Ludship and his line at the at the end, after being defeated. These are the two different parts I'm mentioning:<br />

| == Ludwig's attack pattern in SMB3 ==
| |
|
| |
| ''Ludwig shared his attack pattern with Roy; Ludwig could fire projectiles from his magic wand, pound the ground to stun the Mario Bros., and '''retreat in his shell for both defensive and offensive purposes'''. Although all the Koopalings in Super Mario Bros 3 frequently retreated into their shells when stomped on by the Mario Bros. '''Ludwig was the only one of the Koopalings to demonstrate doing so at will''', without having to be hit by the Mario Bros.''
| |
|
| |
| Is that actually true? I never recalled seeing Ludwig doing this attack pattern in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. I've been looking over Youtube to look at this, but could never found that attack pattern anywhere. Can someone could confirm it? {{User:Ninja Squid/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| :I definitely remember him tucking into his shell and causing quakes without my even jumping on him when playing the ''Advance 4'' version (in fact, being too far to even get a clean shot at him).
