Editing Talk:Ludwig

==More on Kooky from the show==
Could we get a list on his inventions somewhere? In the article or in a subpage? No big hurry, but it would be nice. Even if it's here. {{User:Geniusguy445/sig}}

I know a fair amount of his inventions,considering he's my favourite character.Most of the inventions were made in the cartoons though.Iggy is more of the inventor in the main series.Ludwigforsecond-in-command!

==Image idea==
[[Image: BabyKooky.jpg|thumb|right|]]

Can anyone thin of a use for this image, its of Kooky Von Koopa's baby form from The Adventures of Super Mario bros. 3 episode "Toddler Terrors of Time Travel". -- [[User: Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

:Is this him as a baby in the past, or transformed into a baby, but still taking place in the present? -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Transformed into a baby, the same thing happened with Toad in the same episode, as well as Bowser, Mario and Luigi. -- [[User: Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

:You could put it in that episode's article. Or if there's significant content about Kooky in that episode, put it in the other appearances section with a brief synopsis. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

==Smart==
"He's also known for being an evil genius too, and the smartest of all the Koopalings. In the games though Iggy replaces him in that title."
In what game is Iggy smarter than Ludwig? This statement is baseless and poorly written.  Should I take this out, or is Iggy smarter in some game I haven't played? [[User:GreenKoopa|GreenKoopa]] - [[User talk:GreenKoopa|Comments or questions?]] · 
[[Special:Contributions/GreenKoopa|:eekdance:]]:

Where does anyting say that he is smarter than bowser jr? {{User:4DJONG/sig}}

@4DJONG: Logic and common sense. Ludwig is a super-genius inventor. Bowser Jr. is portrayed as a kid who wants to follow in his dad's footsteps. That has to be inferred though. {{User|Lemmy Koopa Fan}} P.S. I'm not saying you have no common sense just in case you thought I was.

You can't judge something like that. Knowledge of machines is not the only signs of intelligence. Alexander the great never invented anything, but is still considered a greater genius than most inventors in history. Also, Bowser Junior is an artist (painter), and artists are considered to be above techincal brillance in mechanics. For example, Leonardo da Vinci is considered more a of genius for his paintings than for his inventions. Saying that one is smarter than the other is like saying that all mechanics and inventors are smarter than all artists and strategists. One's intelligence may appear more pronounced, but that has more to do with the exclusivness of skill rather than smarts. However, I won't say whose smarter here. This is turning very quickly into a battle between fans, and it should stop right here before there is an all out edit war between Bowser Jr. fans and Ludwig fans. {{User|Bowser. Jr. Nutt}}

What does Bowser Jr. have to do with famous historic people? Anyway, the matter at hand is in what game is Iggy smarter than Ludwig. The answer... He's not smarter in any game. The Koopaling's smarts are never mentioned in any game. And about the Bowser Jr. and Ludwig, it's not the real world, it's Mario. Not to mention Bowser Jr. is very childlike... he's never shown any real signs of intelligence. {{User|Lemmy Koopa Fan}}

I'm not going to argue this much further simply because I know it will never end. Bower Jr. and Ludwig have nothing to do with historic people. I never said they had anything to do with them. I'm using a comparison of people we are all familiar with to make a point (its called ethos, look it up). And just because it's Mario does not mean that it does not abide by real interpretations of values such as intellegence, justice, love, and so on. Also, saying that a particular character is childish after a comment like that does not make any sense. ALL characters in Mario are childish. You can't say one is less intelligent just because they act with less maturity; there are plenty of really brilliant people in real life that are very immature. Finallly, as to the notion that there is no signs of real inteligence, Bowser Jr. single handedly orchastrated the Delfino Isle fiasco, which, compared to other schemes in the Mario universe that simply involve kidnapping the princess, was very devious, involving complex components such as fraud and blackmail. As to Iggy... you are right. There is no evidence that says Ludwig is smarter than him or vice versa. In reality, like you said, smarts can't be compared to eachother in these games, however that does not mean that their existance can be refuted. However, saying that one character isn't intellegent just because they are childish is foolish. This disscussion is about intellegnece alone; if you want to discuss childishness, create a new disscusion. {{User|Bowser Jr. Nutt}}



Do not be too Bowser Jr. fanboy, accept Bowser Jr. simply uses Stars to create his ridiculous robots, you can easily get some crap metal and transform it into a "WOW!" machine by using a Power STar, Shar Sprite, or Grand Star. Ludwig's inventions(from game and anime) do not use any of those cheats, so, go and cry somewhere. But I think BJ may be probably an artist due to his graffiti skills, but still he is not the "smart" of the group, he is a young child following his father's steps, and pretending to be the "favorited" one.--[[User:Phantoon|Phantoon]] 01:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Phantoon

Now who's calling who a fanboy here, hmm? Come on, that kind of logic won't get you anywhere on these boards. For all  you know, the stars are only a power source and don't "WOW!" anything, and I would consider using the best rescources available as "intelligent design with high quality available materials" rather than "cheating". There is not enough interaction between Ludwig and Junior to be able to make the assumption that one is smarter than the other. They are in one game together, and they never interact once. I've never even seen any game text or game booklet that has them both mentioned in the same sentence. As for smart, artistry is creativity, and creativive thinking is considered the most important aspect for higher intellect. Wether or not anyone agrees that Junior uses his brush in any artistic sense is a different manner, as he's really only seen painting simple shapes without making anything really 'art'. But seriously, this isn't a flame thread. Let's stop this. {{User|Bowser Jr. Nutt}}

Yeah, I'm sure that painting triangles, circles, M's and shapeless blobs of goop on walls is ''very'' creative. saying that art, such as Bowser Jr.'s graffiti is above technical brilliance is like saying that random graffiti vandals are smarter that Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, etc. And is that really true? Also, I don't really think Phantoon and I were really flaming you, we were just trying to make a point. {{User|Lemmy Koopa Fan}}

I have all of the Mario is Missing voices. Wasn't there one when he said "At last, the Koopa defense is at a very new dawn, no plumber can stop us! Soon, this north pole will be one giant koopa swimming pool!" or something along those lines? Also, I noticed on the Wendy page that seemed to show her tone as opposed to just copying what was in her speech bubble. If that happened, then why not show Ludwig's stereotypical "German" accent?

-: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).

-==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.

-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.
