'''Wendy Koopa''' (as she is called) appears in the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']]. Aiding her family in their plan to melt [[Antarctica]], Wendy guards a corridor in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's castle]], and is also directly involved alongside Bowser in capturing Mario.
Though absent from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', '''Wendy Koopa''' (as she is called) does appear in the PC version of the game. Aiding her family in their plan to melt [[Antarctica]], Wendy guards a corridor in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's castle]], and is also directly involved alongside Bowser in capturing Mario.


Wendy is ultimately defeated by [[Luigi]], who is searching for his kidnapped brother.

Wendy is shown to be very desiring of wealth and prestige; her being the one of two Koopalings in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' to drop 102 coins instead of 99 may be a reference to her greed. The comics and to some extent the DiC cartoons typically portray her as a spoiled brat, and she even thinks of herself as Bowser's favorite child. She does whatever she can to impress her father and likes to be congratulated for her bad deeds. Her personality in the cartoons highlights these traits further, and she is shown to have a very short temper over little things and can be violent when provoked. This latter trait is further confirmed in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', though she isn't portrayed as spoiled. After being hit by debris coming from a boulder broken by mistake by Roy when fighting the Mario brothers and Paper Mario, she gets angry at Roy and fights him instead of the brothers and Paper Mario.<ref>{{cite|author=BeardBear|date=December 2, 2015|url=youtu.be/QSHpnUGGcYI?t=3556|timestamp=00:59:16|title=Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Walkthrough Part 6 {{!}} Twinsy Tropics Dungeon, Cards & Bosses Wendy and Roy|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 18, 2024}}</ref> She seems to have a bit of a rivalry with Roy, as she makes some smart remarks at Roy's expense, as evidenced by the opening for ''Bowser's Minions''.

The English in-game text in ''Super Mario World'' implies she spends her time in her castle singing. In the PC version of ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]'', Wendy acts exceedingly girlish, perhaps in a mocking manner. In ''Mario Kart 8'', while she does not have her own billboard advertising her company unlike her brothers, the map for [[Super Bell Subway]] lists her company as "Wendy's Interior Designs", implying that she holds an interest in interior decorating for various locales.

As of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', Wendy is shown to have a high-pitched voice. Since ''Mario Kart 8'', her voice was drastically changed to sound more sassy, resembling that of a teenage girl.
