The '''Koopalings''', also known as '''Bowser's Minions''' in the British English versions of some games, and in certain American works as the '''Koopa Kids''', are a seven-member clan of recurring enemies in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], portrayed as siblings<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20130203161534/http://newsupermariobrosu.nintendo.com/characters|title=As explained on the Koopalings' profile on the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' official site}}, as well as [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Larry's ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' trophy]]</ref><ref name="Encyclopedia"/> who act as leaders of [[Bowser's Minions]] under [[Bowser]]. Individually, they are named [[Larry]], [[Morton]], [[Wendy]], [[Iggy]], [[Roy]], [[Lemmy]], and [[Ludwig]]. Although [[Bowser Jr.]] is not a member of the Koopalings, they sometimes act as his personal minions, and he is often seen accompanying them.


The '''Koopalings''' (occasionally called '''Koopa Kids''' in the cartoons, not to be confused with the actual [[Koopa Kid]]s) are the eldest seven of [[Bowser|King Bowser Koopa]]'s children. This makes all of them the heirs of the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa Kingdom]]. Oftentimes, the Koopalings act as high-ranking leaders of the [[Koopa Troop]] and mostly appear as bosses in the various [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] games. The Koopalings are known for taking long hiatus between their appearances, but all most recently appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
The Koopalings debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and they later appeared as bosses in various [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]]-era games of the ''Super Mario'' franchise before going on a long hiatus, reappearing once in 2003's ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and then being redesigned for 2009's ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', which has since been followed by numerous appearances as both bosses in the platformers of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] and playable characters in various spinoffs. They have also appeared in various other media, including the cartoon ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', which featured entirely different names for the characters due to them not having official names at the time of its production phase.


Bowser also has an eighth child, [[Bowser Jr.]], who was introduced many years after the Koopalings made their debut. Bowser Jr.'s status as a Koopaling has not yet been completely clarified, as he has yet to be officially referred to as one, but associates himself with his siblings in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. The official Prima Guide of said game refers to Bowser Jr. on one page as a "''bothersome Koopaling''."<ref>"After you reach Bowser Jr.'s chamber, the bothersome Koopaling hops into his [[Koopa Clown Car|flying carriage]]" - ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii Premiere Edition'', pg. 129</ref> Other materials such as the Japanese version makes it clear, however, that the seven Koopalings are all one rank below Junior.
Originally, the Koopalings were depicted as Bowser's children<ref name="SMB3"/><ref name="JFCSMB3manual"/><ref name=ship/><ref name="SMB4KokuppaCard"/><ref name="JSSBMBowser"/> and stated to be his offspring.<ref name="KoopalingsUK"/><ref name="SMB3IT"/><ref name="SMB3DE"/><ref name="SMB3NL" /><ref name="YSNAback"/> Older games continue to maintain them as his children in re-releases and updated manuals.<ref name="SMB33DSJM"/><ref name="JSMA4M"/><ref name="SMA2guide"/><ref name="SMA4KoopalingsUK">{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Game-Boy-Advance/Super-Mario-Advance-4-Super-Mario-Bros-3-267398.html|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' '''Wii U Virtual Console release'''|archive=archive.today/2023.03.21-211349/https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Game-Boy-Advance/Super-Mario-Advance-4-Super-Mario-Bros-3-267398.html|language=en-gb|publisher=Nintendo of UK|accessdate=June 28, 2024}}</ref> However, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] eventually affirmed that [[Nintendo]]'s "current story is that the Koopalings are not Bowser's children" in 2012, leaving the Koopalings as his underlings and Bowser Jr. as his only child.<ref name="Miyamoto"/>
==Members==
The Koopalings are listed below in their original order:
{{content description
|image1=[[File:NSMBU Larry Koopa Artwork.png|150x150px|center|Larry Koopa]]
|name1=[[Larry|Larry Koopa]]
|description1=Larry Koopa is the youngest Koopaling who is often seen at the forefront of the Koopalings' antics, and he wields the orange [[magic wand]]. His main color representation is sky blue, although his shell was originally colored green, his hair was white in early sprites, and he lacked the small star on the side of his face. There is [[List of rumors and urban legends#Larry Koopa's namesake|some confusion over the identity of Larry's namesake]]; the most recent official statement from his christener, Nintendo of America employee [[Dayvv Brooks]], is that Larry was named as such because he simply "looked like a Larry," though Brooks had previously stated that Larry's name was derived from {{wp|Larry Mullen Jr.}}, the drummer for the Irish rock band {{wp|U2}}. He was also known as "Cheatsy" in the cartoons, alluding to the fact that he will try to win by any means, legitimate or otherwise. He seems to have an interest in sports, such as how he plays tennis with a [[fireball]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. In the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'', he communicated via pictures in word bubbles, which only Lemmy understood.
|image2=[[File:NSMBW Morton Artwork.jpg|150x150px|center|Morton Koopa Jr.]]
|name2=[[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]]
|description2=Morton Koopa Jr. is the only Koopaling to have a brown skin tone and is often depicted as the largest Koopaling, wielding the red magic wand. His main color representation is black, although his shell was originally gray, he was colored yellow with a green shell in ''Super Mario World'', and he lacked the distinctive star on his face in his early in-game sprites. He is named after the American tabloid talk show presenter {{wp|Morton Downey, Jr.}} He was also known as "Big Mouth" in the cartoons, due to his talkative nature, and often talks for long amounts of time, only to be stopped by another character, most often one of his siblings. In other appearances, he seems to be rather grouchy, with brutal strength to match. Morton's level of intelligence is portrayed inconsistently; sometimes he is shown to be quite slow-witted, but in other games, he possesses a more cunning side.
|image3=[[File:NSMBW Wendy Artwork.png|150x150px|center|Wendy O. Koopa]]
|name3=[[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]
|description3=Wendy O. Koopa is the sole female Koopaling; she wields the purple magic wand. Her main color representation is pink, although her shell was a shade of deep red in ''Super Mario World''. She is named after {{wp|Wendy O. Williams}}, an American singer and frontwoman of the punk rock band {{wp|Plasmatics|the Plasmatics}}. She was also known as "Kootie Pie" in the cartoons and was considered a spoiled brat with a quick temper, often going into a rage over little things. She is stated to be tomboyish, and seemed to act as the de facto boss in ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]''.
|image4=[[File:NSMBU Iggy Artwork.png|150x150px|center|Iggy Koopa]]
|name4=[[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]]
|description4=Iggy Koopa is a hyperactive, demented, and unpredictable Koopaling who wields the yellow magic wand. His main choice of color is yellow-green, although his shell was colored blue in early sprites and his hair was white in ''Super Mario World''; before ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', his hair was also similar to Lemmy's. He is named after {{wp|Iggy Pop}}, an American rock musician and frontman of the proto-punk band {{wp|the Stooges}}. He was also known as "Hop" in the cartoons and is the twin brother of Hip (Lemmy); together, they are among the youngest members of the family. He was just as childish and immature as his brother in the cartoon series, whereas in the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' he was depicted as a brilliant (if crazed) inventor; this has possibly been hinted at in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', where the inside of his ship is mechanical rather than wooden.
|image5=[[File:NSMBW Roy Artwork.png|150x150px|center|Roy Koopa]]
|name5=[[Roy|Roy Koopa]]
|description5=Roy Koopa's head and sunglasses are pink (as was his shell originally), and he wields the black magic wand. His main color representation is purple, although his shell and head were colored lavender-purple in ''Super Mario World''. He is named after American rock & roll singer {{wp|Roy Orbison}}. He was also known as "Bully" in the cartoons and is said to be a typical bully who likes beating up others for his own amusement. This is true in most appearances, but in certain Japanese materials, Roy instead speaks in a calm and collected manner, so he may have more of a laid-back personality and be less of a tough guy. He is also the second bulkiest Koopaling after Morton.
|image6=[[File:NSMBW Lemmy Artwork.png|150x150px|center|Lemmy Koopa]]
|name6=[[Lemmy|Lemmy Koopa]]
|description6=Lemmy Koopa is depicted as a small, fun-loving child who wields the green magic wand and has been shown capable of being serious when the situation calls for it. His main color representation is orange. Although in ''Super Mario World'', his shell was colored yellow and his hair was white, and his shell was originally green and he lacked the ponytail. He is named after the late {{wp|Lemmy|Lemmy Kilmister}}, frontman of the English heavy metal band {{wp|Motörhead}}. He was also known as "Hip" in the cartoons and is the twin brother of Hop (Iggy); together, they are among the youngest members of the family. Lemmy is usually depicted as perhaps the least bright Koopaling, but is also the most genuinely innocent of his siblings.
|image7=[[File:LudwigNSMBU.png|150x150px|center|Ludwig von Koopa]]
|name7=[[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]]
|description7=Ludwig von Koopa is the eldest<ref name=Second>{{cite|quote=Bowser's oldest Koopaling and second in command, he's a real monster!|date=June 1990|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3 Nintendo Power Strategy Guide''|page=9|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> who possesses a magnificent intelligence most likely superior to that of the other Koopalings, and wields the blue magic wand. His main color representation is deep blue, although he was originally depicted with a green shell in artwork (aqua-blue in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and yellow in ''Super Mario World''), as well as white hair in early sprites. He is named after the German Classical and Romantic late composer [[Ludwig van Beethoven]]. He was also known as "Kooky" in the cartoons and had more of a mad scientist persona. Like his namesake, he is said to be a composer and is very much into the culture, but is also sometimes suggested to be the cruelest of the Koopalings. According to ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Ludwig egotistically believes himself to be a "real leader", to which the others, Lemmy, Morton, and Iggy specifically, claim they never voted on it and further explain they operate as a collective trust.<ref>{{cite|author=BeardBear|date=December 3, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlBs_Qspg6c|title=Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Walkthrough Part 27 {{!}} Neo Bowser Castle #5 & Bosses Koopalings|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 18, 2024}}</ref>
}}
In addition, the [[Prima Games]] guide of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' refers to [[Boom Boom]] as a Koopaling,<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J.|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=22|date=October 21, 2003|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-4425-9|quote='''WORLD FORTRESSES''' Every world has at least one Fortress. This is usually a set of fearsome hallways guarded by nasties and always ends with a Koopa confrontation, courtesy of Boom Boom the Koopaling. Fortresses are just like regular levels, except that when you beat one, any nearby locks (usually preventing you from accessing pipes or Toad Houses) disappear.}}</ref> despite listing him separately in the Friends and Foes section.

==Names of the Koopalings==
==Concept and creation==
Not only were the Koopalings modeled after the design team of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''<ref>Interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide, p. 31.</ref>, but they were all named after famous pop-culture icons: musicians (Iggy, Lemmy, Ludwig, Wendy, Roy) and talk show hosts (Morton, Larry). In the Japanese version, the Koopalings originally had no distinct names.<ref>[[Media:Koopalingsjpmanual.jpg|Japanese Manual for SMB3]]</ref> The North American localizers of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' gave them names. In the Japanese version of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', their first names were adopted, which is most likely why their full names were rarely mentioned again afterward. It is also likely why they had entirely different names in the American cartoon series.

One of the first sketches in which the Koopalings can be seen, a result of the collaboration between [[Yoichi Kotabe]] and [[Takashi Tezuka]], happened before the release of the [[Family Computer Disk System]] version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' in 1986 and is associated with Bowser's first redesign.<ref>{{file link|Bowser Koopalings sketch.png|Page 65 of the Japanese ''Official Nintendo Guidebook'' of ''Super Mario All-Stars''}}. The caption states "''At first Bowser's appearance was not entirely settled. In order to get to this version of the sketch, Kotabe and Tezuka collaborated multiple times''". Note how the page is dedicated to the Famicom Disk System version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', known as ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' in Japan.</ref> The Koopalings were modeled after the design team of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'',<ref>Interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Page 31.</ref> and they were all named after famous musicians by the game's North American localizers,<ref>As explained by Dayvv Brooks (former Nintendo of America employee), on July 18, 2012.</ref> since they were not given distinct names in the original Japanese version.<ref>{{file link|Koopalingsjpmanual.jpg|''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Japanese instruction booklet. Page 3.}}</ref> In the Japanese version of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', only their first names were adopted, dropping the Koopa surname,<ref>{{cite|url=themushroomkingdom.net/smw_j-e.shtml|title=''Super Mario World'': From Japanese to English|publisher=The Mushroom Kingdom|language=en|accessdate=June 28, 2024}}</ref> as was done in many subsequent games (both in English and Japanese). The Koopalings were all given different names in the cartoons, purportedly because Nintendo of America had not released their own names yet, forcing the writers of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' to come up with their own names.
[[File:Kotabe SMB3 Sketch.png|thumb|left|Early sketch, drawn by Yoichi Kotabe, of an artwork for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' featuring all of the Koopalings.]]
The word "Koopaling" itself is likely a combination of the name "Koopa" with the [[Wiktionary:-ling#Suffix|diminutive suffix "-ling"]], which is often used to denote a younger, smaller or inferior version, which aptly describes their relation to [[Bowser]]. Similarly, their original Japanese name, "''Kokuppa''" is essentially "Little Koopa" (which is what the [[Toad (species)|retainers]] serving the [[kings]] call them in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] versions) or "Child Koopa", with ''Koopa'' being the Japanese name of ''Bowser''. Interestingly, only their Italian name, ''Bowserotti'', actually means ''Little Bowsers'' using the Western name of ''Bowser'', with the names in the other languages leaving the ''Koopa'' word intact, even when it does not specifically mean ''Bowser''. The English name also evokes such words as "fledgling", "hatchling", "youngling", or even "underling", and may be a mere portmanteau between one of them and "Koopa".

The Koopalings are listed below in order from what is possibly, but not confirmed, to be their birth orders from youngest to oldest:
==History==
{{Main|History of the Koopalings}}
Since their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Koopalings are notable for appearing as world bosses across ''Super Mario'' platformers. In some role-playing games including the ''Mario & Luigi'' and ''Paper Mario'' series, they also appear as bosses. The Koopalings appear as seperate playable characters in some spin-offs. They appear in other ''Super Mario'' media under different names when they did not have their official names during production.


===Larry Koopa===
==General information==
{{main|Larry Koopa}}
===Physical appearance===
Larry Koopa has been stated to be the youngest of the Koopalings. He seems to have an interest in sports, such as how he plays tennis with a fireball in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', although he hasn't appeared in any sports game. He has also shown to be bad-tempered or bratty in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. His main color representation is sky blue. Larry is known as Cheatsy Koopa in the cartoons, because he will try to win by any means, legitimate or otherwise.
[[File:NSMBU Koopalings Group Artwork.png|thumb|upright=1.4|The Koopalings' depiction in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'']]
All the Koopalings look relatively similar to Bowser and Bowser Jr., but lack horns on their head. Morton has a unique darker complexion, and three have heads that are not green in coloration (Morton's head is white and Roy's is pink while Wendy's head matches the rest of her body's yellow coloration). Three of them (Larry, Wendy and in part Iggy) have blue eyes much like Bowser in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' (but while Bowser's eyes were changed to red, the Koopalings' eyes remained blue). Originally, Ludwig, Morton and Lemmy's eyes were merely black dots, however the former two have since been shown to have thin dark gray irises. All of them have pointed claws on their hands. All the Koopalings have various distinguishing features, such as varying numbers of teeth protruding from their snouts and unique hair styles and colors. Oddly, their sprites in ''Super Mario World'' and the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' remake in ''Super Mario All-Stars'' gave them all white hair and coloration that did not match their artwork, carrying over from the original, inaccurate color palette from the NES. All of them, like [[Bowser]], have ribbed plated bellies. Although the Koopalings were shown in the sprites to have at least four spikes on their shells, the cover for Nintendo Power Player's Guide for ''Super Mario All-Stars'' showed them, or at least Morton and Roy, only having three spines, all of which were directly on the center of the shell from top to bottom. In addition, while Lemmy does not have fangs, his in-game depiction in ''Super Mario World'' does.


===Morton Koopa Jr.===
While most of the Koopalings originally had green shells, redesigns introduced with ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' gave them all unique shell colors. Other aspects of their pre-existing designs were also tweaked, such as Iggy's hair being green rather than multicolored in order to differentiate him further from Lemmy, and their heights and builds being more varied, with Morton now the tallest, followed by Iggy, Roy, Ludwig, Wendy, Larry and finally Lemmy, who was the runt of the litter in their original appearances as well. Their tails also became visible in their official artwork starting from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', having not been drawn until then<ref>{{file link|SMSQPB6 Mario Kick opt.png|Mario kicking Wendy, Bowser and Ludwig}}, note how Bowser's tail is drawn while Ludwig's tail is not.</ref> except for some sprite depictions and an artwork which apparently shows Iggy's tail.<ref>{{file link|SMB3 NES - Group art.png|Main cast artwork for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' in which Iggy's tail can be seen.}}</ref> In their playable appearances in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series, because they are model swaps of Bowser Jr., all of the Koopalings appear roughly the same height as one another, most notably with Roy, Iggy, Morton and Lemmy (although Iggy is still thin).
{{Main|Morton Koopa Jr.}}
Morton Koopa Jr. is the second youngest of the Koopalings despite his very large size. He seems to possess a cantankerous personality. He is also the only Koopaling to have a brown skin tone rather than the yellow tone of the others; this could be because he normally rules a hot and dry area ([[Desert Hill]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Donut Plains]] in ''Super Mario World''). The ''Jr.'' following his name has sparked some controversy, although it was not meant to have any in-game connotations, and was simply included as an homage to the man he was named after, Morton Downey Jr. His main color representation is black. Morton was known as Big Mouth Koopa Jr. in the cartoons, due to his talkative nature.


===Wendy O. Koopa===
The Koopalings' designs were modified in the DIC cartoons, although they were still recognizable.
{{Main|Wendy O. Koopa}}
{{br}}
Wendy O. Koopa is the third youngest of Koopalings, as well as the only female. She is considered a spoiled brat with a quick temper, often going into a rage over little things. Instead of the spiked bands the other Koopalings wear, she has a bow, a necklace and very large bracelets. Regardless of her feminine traits, she is stated to be a tomboy. Even though she is female, she is one of the two Koopalings with no hair (the other being Roy). Wendy was known as Kootie Pie Koopa in the cartoons. Her main color is pink.
 
===Iggy Koopa===
{{Main|Iggy Koopa}}
Iggy Koopa is the middle child of the Koopalings. He is depicted as a demented, mechanical genius. His two outstanding characteristics are his glasses and his height; he is shown to be the tallest and thinnest of the Koopalings. In the cartoons he is known as Hop Koopa and is the twin brother of Lemmy Koopa (Hip Koopa), and together, they are the youngest members of the family. His main color representation is yellow-green.
 
===Roy Koopa===
{{Main|Roy Koopa}}
Roy Koopa is the third oldest of the Koopalings. Roy is sometimes depicted as a typical bully who likes beating up others (mostly [[Iggy]] and maybe [[Lemmy]]) for his own amusement. He was even known as Bully Koopa in the cartoons. In a likely reference to the "Real men wear pink" joke, Roy's head and sunglasses are pink, as was his shell originally, although now it and his representative colour are purple. In Japanese materials, Roy is shown to speak in a calm and collected manner, so he may have more of a laidback personality.


===Lemmy Koopa===
===Personalities===
{{Main|Lemmy Koopa}}
The Koopalings' individual personalities have not been fleshed out much besides being childlike, their desire to cause mayhem, and their loyalty to Bowser. However, there were some hints in various supplementary materials. Some of the personalities changed between localizations. For example, Roy in the North American localizations was depicted in a manner similar to a bully (which also earned him the name "Bully" in the DIC cartoons), but the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet and ''Super Mario Advance 4'' [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Reader cards|e-Reader cards]] give him a calm and collected demeanor. The original manual also gave each of the Koopalings several quirks unique to each of them that hinted at their individual personalities with some speeches uttered by them; however, the official English translation toned down several of these quirks or removed them altogether. Although loyal to Bowser, they also did not wish to be on the receiving end of Bowser's rage if they failed a task, as evidenced by Larry's reason for why he and the other Koopalings will not give up the kings' wands easily to Mario, as he stated that the alternative would be to get yelled at by Bowser. Prior to their modern depictions, they were given distinguishing characteristics in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoon, as well as the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' and ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]''. In ''Mario Kart 8'', the Koopalings seem to have better speech capabilities than Bowser, as they can be heard saying their names at several points, and even yelling one or two-liners. In addition to being childlike, a [[Play Nintendo]] quiz describes the Koopalings as "zany".<ref>https://play.nintendo.com/activities/quizzes/which-mario-kart-8-racer-are-you-most/ If you get Bowser.</ref>
Lemmy Koopa is the smallest of the Koopalings, despite being the second oldest. He retains a childlike innocence and immaturity about him. Already being clownish from his love of balancing on his rubber ball, it is stated he would rather join the circus than try to destroy [[Mario]]. His main color representation is yellow. Lemmy was known as Hip Koopa in the cartoons.


===Ludwig von Koopa===
The Koopalings' loyalty to Bowser is strong enough that they are willing to serve him even when "Bowser" is actually not himself and in fact possessed by another figure. This is implied by their servitude to [[Bowletta]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and later confirmed in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', where Wendy and Larry specifically mention doing their actions for Bowser and Morton indirectly says that as well despite Bowser being under the influence of [[black paint]]. In the former game's remake, they also possessed strong enough wills that Fawful, when brainwashing them with his spray, was ultimately forced to use a maximum potent dosage on them to sway them to his side.
{{Main|Ludwig von Koopa}}
Ludwig von Koopa has been said to be the oldest Koopaling and was Bowser's second-in-command until ''Super Mario World'' where that spot was given to Larry and later Bowser Jr. He possesses a magnificent intelligence, most likely superior to that of his siblings and his father. He is presumptuous, arrogant, and the cruelest of his siblings, but is still very much into culture; he likes listening to classical music and he is a composer himself, as he apparently composes "Koopa Symphonies" (which are said to be terrible). His main color representation is deep blue. Ludwig was known as Kooky von Koopa in the cartoons. He can do a [[Flutter Jump]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
{{br}}


==History==
They were also willing to work with Bowser's son, Bowser Jr., and had little problem with him, as implied by Roy Koopa briefly calling him squirt (Young Master in the Japanese version) and overall talking to him in a casual nature. However, ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' indicated that even they have their limits when working with Bowser Jr., as many of them ended up quitting on him due to being fed up with his notoriously selfish nature while they were trying to hunt for the remedy for the [[blorbs]], the only real exceptions being Iggy and Morton, the former being forced to leave by Bowser Jr. due to finding him annoying, and the latter ended up brainwashed by the Best Fitness Friends into attacking Bowser Jr..
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3====
[[Image:KoopalingsNES.gif|frame|left|Sprites of the '''Koopalings''' in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
The first appearance of the original seven Koopalings was in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Here, the Koopalings were ordered by Bowser to use their [[airship]]s and armies to conquer the various lands of the [[Mushroom World]]. Each Koopaling, after attacking a kingdom, would steal the [[Magic Scepter|magic scepter]] of the land's ruler and transform that ruler into an animal of some kind.


[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] would encounter and battle a Koopaling every time they ventured through a heavily-guarded airship. The battle against the Koopalings would consist mostly of dodging the Koopalings' leaps and magical blasts from their stolen scepter. It would only take three jumps on the head in order to defeat a Koopaling. Once defeated, that Koopaling would retreat into their shell, fly to an unknown place and drop their Magic Wand. After Mario or Luigi picked it up, the airship would strangely vanish and that world's king would be restored.
===Abilities===
The Koopalings each have varying abilities, but in general, the Koopalings are capable of using their shell as both a method of defense and a method of offense. In addition, they are all capable of jumping very high, and are all skilled in magic, frequently using magic wands as a weapon. While only Ludwig, Iggy, and Larry spat fireballs in ''Super Mario World'', ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' revealed that all Koopalings have this ability. Despite that, they are weak to fireballs, though their exact limit has varied between taking multiple fireballs to take down, or being one-hit knocked out by a single fireball. Similar to Bowser, they also have a tendency to survive dangerous hits. This is especially evident with their defeat in ''Super Mario World'', where Larry, Wendy, Iggy, and Lemmy were dunked into lava by the Mario Bros., and each Koopaling later had their castles collapse on them, in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' where they, alongside Bowser and Bowser Jr., ended up surviving being crushed by Bowser's falling castle, and in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', where all of them were accidentally knocked into the lava twice (once by a gigantic Bowser, and then by a gigantic Dry Bowser). Their fighting prowess was such that they managed to casually knock away several [[Beanie]]s while discussing how they can find Bowser at the same time in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''.


====''Super Mario World====
In terms of talents unique to individual Koopalings, they seem to know their own spells. While most of them simply cast a colorful shot of magic that slowly flies in a straight line, Wendy instead creates glowing rings that ricochet off the surfaces of the room, and Lemmy creates bouncing circus balls that can knock the Mario Bros. into a bottomless pit. In every game appearance outside of ''Super Mario World'', Lemmy is always seen in battle balancing on top of a big yellow circus ball covered with starry patterns. Ludwig could create earthquakes with his descents in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', an ability that was taken away from him ever since ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but kept by Roy and Morton. Ludwig was given the ability to flutter jump in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games instead. In ''Super Mario World'', Roy and Morton were able to walk up walls and ceilings and drop down at will.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'' the Koopalings aid Bowser in his attack on [[Dinosaur Land]]. Each Koopaling was charged with guarding a fortress on each of Dinosaur Land's areas.


After traveling through a Koopaling fortress, Mario or Luigi would battle a Koopaling, who would need to be bashed on the head three times, or in [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]] and [[Larry Koopa|Larry's]] case, knocked into the lava to be defeated. After a Koopaling was defeated, a captured [[Yoshi egg]] would be rescued and the path to a new area would be opened.

Once defeated, Morton, Ludwig, and Roy went spiraling into the background wall (signified by a puff of smoke), while Iggy, Lemmy, Wendy and Larry all fell into the lava.

For some reason (likely technical restrictions), the Koopalings' in-game sprites have alternate color schemes from their artwork such as Ludwig with white hair and a yellow shell rather than blue hair and green shell.
The back of the English ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' box calls them Bowser's "offspring" in 1993, and the French translation of said text uses the same term as well,<ref name="YSNAback">{{file link|SnesyoshissafariBack.jpg|Back of the North American box of ''Yoshi's Safari''}}.</ref> which is absent in the Japanese manual.<ref>{{file link|YRH Manual pages 2 3 opt.png|Pages 2 and 3 of the Japanese manual of ''Yoshi's Safari''}}, which contain the story of the game.

[[File:NSMBW Prologue.png|thumb|300px|left|The '''Koopalings''' and Bowser Jr. jumping out of Princess Peach's cake in their supposed birth order. (Bowser Jr. on top of the cake.)]]
The Koopalings made a surprise return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', serving as bosses in seven of the game's worlds. They also make an appearance in the game's opening sequence, hiding in a cake as cake toppings that the Koopalings presented [[Princess Peach]] with. [[Bowser Jr.]] also appears alongside the Koopalings, marking the first time that all eight of Bowser's named children have appeared in the same game. The seven Koopalings all sport a replica of the [[Magic Scepter|Magic Wands]] from their first appearance, while Bowser Jr. has a miniature [[Koopa Clown Car]] of his own. In the first seven worlds, Mario and his friends would have to ascend a [[Tower|tower]] in the middle of the world, at the top of which the Koopaling of that world waited. When defeated in battle, the Koopaling then jumps away after their defeat, much like Bowser Jr. in the original ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', setting up a rematch at the [[Castle|castle]] at the end of the world. Upon catching up with the Koopaling again, [[Kamek]] appears and adds a new element to the battle, such as replacing the floor of [[Larry Koopa|Larry]]'s room with one that shifts up and down, or giving [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] an even larger ball than before. The Koopalings have been given voices for the first time in this game as well.


After the credits they are shown with Bowser Jr. summoning his siblings to help Bowser get back up. When he does, however, Bowser's castle falls on top of all nine members of the royal Koopa line. Bowser can be heard moaning in pain after that.
Following the introduction of [[Bowser Jr.]] in 2002, who is treated independently from the Koopalings, and the lack of major appearances from the Koopalings between ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' in 2003 and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' in 2009, there was confusion about the nature of Bowser's parenthood. Bowser Jr. was first implied to have replaced the Koopalings as Bowser's sole child in the description of Bowser's trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Japanese version of which refers to Bowser Jr. as「ひとり息子」, meaning "one son" or "only son".<ref>{{file link|JSSBB Bowser Trophy.jpg|The first trophy of Bowser in the Japanese version of ''Super Smash Bros.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', the Koopalings have lines of dialogue, which would later continue in games such as ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]''. To reflect their revised portrayal, in the Japanese versions of the games, the Koopalings refer to Bowser as ''Master Bowser'' (「クッパ{{ruby|様|さま}}」) and consider each other comrades (「{{ruby|仲間|なかま}}」) without any family relationship, though multiple translations, including the English versions, portray them as siblings.<ref>As an example, Larry's ''TALK_CUPCHAT_PR_LOSE_LAR_USUAL_0'' line in the Wii U version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games states「さすがに{{ruby|予選|よせん}}で{{ruby|負|ま}}けるってのは はずかしいな。{{ruby|仲間|なかま}}たちには{{ruby|笑|わら}}われるだろうしクッパさまにはドヤされるだろうし、まいったぜ。」Note the use of both「{{ruby|仲間|なかま}}」and「クッパさま」.</ref><ref>{{cite|author=aika|language=ja|date=December 11, 2015|url=youtu.be/YbHkj1xGIVI?t=180|timestamp=03:00|title=【3DS】マリオ＆ルイージRPG ペーパーマリオMIX　ルドウィッグ＆ラリー戦|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 28, 2024}} In the dialogue at the beginning of the battle against Larry and Ludwig, Larry does not call Ludwig ''brother'', while in the English versions and in most other Western translations he does.</ref> While the Japanese and English versions of ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' portray the Koopalings' relationship to Bowser simply as them being his minions, the Italian and German translations mention that Bowser is their father.<ref>Games' Art (December 30, 2015).

(series)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games, and even though in the final game [https://youtu.be/n5jFO0ErW_g?t=681 Morton mentions ''the boss''] (''il capo'') without specifying who he is supposed to be, as soon as Bowser is revealed [https://youtu.be/c1ShokOB5cg?t=2230 Ludwig], [https://youtu.be/0KHkDZfT_Es?t=1435 Wendy], [https://youtu.be/dWxzKA5RYZs?t=1730 Larry] and [https://youtu.be/T4jSKKyFIlI?t=997 Roy] always refer to him by name without adding any other title, Roy even directly asks Bowser to avenge his defeat, this attempt being absent [https://youtu.be/N_ZXYBA3rIs?t=891 in the Japanese version]. Furthermore, the Koopalings are always referred to as ''Little Bowsers'' (''Bowserotti'', the Italian term originally used for the Koopalings, itself a direct translation of the ｢コクッパ｣ term), as can be seen already [https://youtu.be/dWxzKA5RYZs?t=1730 before fighting Larry], even when the Japanese version explicitly use the ''Bowser's minions'' (｢クッパの{{ruby|手下|てした}}｣) term in place of the ''Team of 7 Bowsers'' (｢クッパ7{{ruby|人衆|にんしゅう}}｣) term that should be translated as ''Bowserotti'', as can be seen before fighting Lemmy (where in the [https://youtu.be/owAMX0L20fM?t=645 Japanese version] ｢クッパの{{ruby|手下|てした}}｣ is used and in the [https://youtu.be/-veTyON5u5M?t=798 Italian localization] ''Bowserotti'' is used instead), as well as in the ''GB_RedRescue13'' line of the 13th Rescue Red Toad who states ''Hai già sconfitto Morton, Iggy, Ludwig, Wendy e Larry.

It is interesting to note that, while in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Morton was the boss of a desert level, Roy was the boss of a sky level, and Ludwig was the boss of a pipe level, these have all been slightly switched. Roy is the boss of a desert level, Ludwig is the boss of a sky level, and Morton is the boss of a mountain level (replacing the pipe level). Also, Iggy's giant level is replaced with a forest level. Larry, Lemmy, and Wendy each retain their level themes (grass, ice, and water, respectively).
The Japanese website of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', besides referring to them using the newer ''Team of Seven Bowsers'' (｢クッパ7人衆｣) term instead of the original ''Bowser's Minions'' (｢クッパの手下｣) term, also indicates that they are considered as the ''leaders of the Bowser clan'' (｢クッパ一味の幹部｣).<ref>{{cite|language=ja|ur=www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/adala/pc/story/index.html|title=''Story'' section of the official Japanese site of ''New Super Mario Bros.

===''Super Mario'' anime===
===Birth order===
[[Image:AnimeKoopalings.jpg|thumb|150px|Ludwig, Iggy, Larry, Roy and Wendy O. Koopa, as they appear in the [[Super Mario Amada Series]].]]
In ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', Larry was stated to be the youngest of the Koopalings<ref>{{cite|quote=Bowser's youngest Koopaling, Larry, has taken over the Grass Land.|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3 Nintendo Power Strategy Guide''|page=9|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=June 1990}}</ref> (reaffirmed as still true in his [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description in the American version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and his character origin [[smashwiki:List of tips (SSBU)/Fighters|tip]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''), while Ludwig was said to be the oldest.<ref name=Second/> The birth order for the five middle children was not confirmed, although in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', as Larry is the first Koopaling to be fought and Ludwig is the last, the implication would seem to be that all seven Koopalings are fought in order from youngest to oldest (provided the player does not [[Warp Zone|warp]]); however, Morton is described as "one of the older Koopalings" in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Nintendo Power Strategy Guide. <ref>{{cite|quote=Being one of the older Koopalings, Morton's ship is more advanced than Larry's, and more dangerous!|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3 Nintendo Power Strategy Guide''|page=24|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=June 1990}}</ref> although this may have been in relation to Larry, the previous boss encountered. The Prima strategy guide for ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' describes Roy as being "a little heavier than his younger family", which might indicate that Roy is one of the older Koopalings.<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J.|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=15|date=October 21, 2003|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-4425-9|quote=Roy, the guardian of The Sky, is a little heavier than his younger family, and he pounds the ground when he lands from a jump, paralyzing Mario for a moment. Keep off the ground when Roy lands, and employ the regulation "three head stomps or 10 fireballs" takedown method.}}</ref>
The first appearance of the Koopalings outside of video games was in the Japanese-exclusive movie, [[Super Mario (anime)|''Super Mario'' anime series]], which was an adaptation of three fairy tales. In the ''Mario'' version of ''[[wikipedia:Momotarō|Momotarō]]'', they appeared as the minions of Bowser, who was portrayed as the stories' ogre. The Koopalings also appeared as minions of Bowser (now the Wicked Queen) in the adaptation of ''[[wikipedia:Snow White|Snow White]]'' ("''Shirayukihime''").


===DIC Cartoons===
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Hip and Hop (Lemmy and Iggy) are depicted as twins and are contradictorily believed to be the youngest. Although Kootie Pie (Wendy) celebrated her sixteenth birthday in "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", the specific ages of the others was never confirmed. According to the Writer's Bible included on the Shout! Factory DVD set and brief concept clips of the cartoon, the other Koopalings were all teenagers; Bully (Roy) was the eldest, followed by Big Mouth (Morton), Kooky (Ludwig), Cheatsy (Larry), Kootie Pie, and finally Hip and Hop both at six years old. This is seemingly the reference used for the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' series, since in ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'' Morton exclaims, "Little brothers are so cowardly!" in regards to Iggy, although this may have been a quip at Luigi's expense (who expressed particular resentment at that remark).
[[File:CartoonKoopalings.jpg|thumb|left|180px|The Koopalings, as seen in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.]]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' produced by [[Nintendo]] and [[DIC Entertainment]], the Koopalings (sometimes referred to as the Koopa Kids) were featured as recurring villains, replacing [[Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], [[Fryguy]] and [[Clawgrip]] from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. Oddly, the names of the Koopalings were altered in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''. This is probably due to the show's creators using the Japanese version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' as a reference and as the Koopalings weren't named in that game, the show creators simply created names and gave the Koopaling's personalities to match these names. These names were presumably kept in the ''Super Mario World'' animated series, which was created after the Koopalings were officially named, so as not to confuse viewers.


Also in the show, the order of the Koopalings' ages were altered; see the section [[Koopalings#Birth Order|Birth Order]] for more information. Rather than acting as Bowser's highest ranking minions, the Koopa Kids acted directly as his children. They did things such as try to get his attention, gain his appreciation, and even plot against him. Cheatsy and Kooky (Larry and Ludwig) seemed to be Bowser's favorites out of the bunch, which somewhat follows the games. Lemmy, Wendy, and Roy were the only Koopalings who closely resembled their game counterparts, in both appearance and personality.
===Leadership===
The ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' Nintendo Power Strategy Guide also states that Ludwig is Bowser's second in command,<ref name=Second/> effectively making him the leader of the Koopalings. Since then, this role has been supplanted by characters such as [[Kammy Koopa]], [[Kamek]], and [[Bowser Jr.]] The American English version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and the European English version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' state that Larry leads the Koopalings and [[Bowser's Minions]] respectively, although both are inaccurate translations of the original Japanese description, which simply states that Larry is one of the seven Koopalings and the leader of a special unit in Bowser's Minions.<ref>{{cite|quote=クッパ７人衆のひとりでクッパ軍団の特攻隊長。(''One of the seven Koopalings and the leader of Bowser’s Minions’ special attack unit'')|author=Larry [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|Trophy]] description|title=''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''|language=jp}}</ref> In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Larry calls Ludwig "boss", and Ludwig shows that he thinks of himself as a leader, and even a king, both of which are contested by other Koopalings.


===Comics===
===Fighting order===
[[File:ValiantKoopalings.jpg|thumb|right|The Koopalings in the story ''[[Bowser Knows Best]]''.]]
The order the Koopalings are fought differ in each game they appear as bosses:
The Koopalings were recurring characters in [[Valiant Comics|Valiant's]] [[Nintendo Comics System]] imprint. Here, their personalities were somewhat similar to their animated series counterparts, though they had their original names and appearances. While Wendy and Lemmy each had solo appearances (the former in ''[[Fins and Roses]]'', and the latter in ''[[The Buddy System]]'' and ''[[The Revenge of Pipe Ooze!]]'') their siblings only appeared in the story ''[[Bowser Knows Best]]'' (where the group abduct Princess Toadstool for Bowser as a Father's Day present) and the short ''[[Get Kooped Up With the Nicest People!]]'' (where they and Bowser are shown vacationing in a resort called Klub Koopa).

====Notes====
*Due to the world structure of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (six main worlds and three optional special worlds), Worlds [[World Mushroom (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|Mushroom]] and [[World Flower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|Flower]] (and their Koopalings, Larry and Lemmy) can be considered either to be preceded by [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6]] ([[Bowser]]) or succeeded by Worlds [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|3]] (Wendy) and [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|5]] (Ludwig), respectively.
*Even though [[Sparkling Waters]] and [[Frosted Glacier]] are officially considered to be the third and fourth worlds of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' (and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''), respectively, the player can choose to beat whichever one (and their Koopalings, Larry and Wendy) first. Similarly, while all the levels are numbered in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', the player can play them in any order they wish.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' has the player fighting two or three of the Koopalings at once, with Roy and Wendy, then Larry and Ludwig, then Morton and Lemmy via Papercraft; then each pair is fought again, with Morton and Lemmy joined by Iggy. The first two pairs are also fought alongside [[Dry Bowser]].
*In the SNES version of ''Mario is Missing!'', only Ludwig, Iggy, and Roy are fought, with Larry, Morton, Wendy and Lemmy only being depicted in the manual. In the DOS version, however, all except for Morton and Lemmy appear (although the latter two were planned to appear, at least in the ''CD-ROM Deluxe'' edition, due to the presence of unused voice clips), and they are fought in the following order: Larry, Roy, Wendy, Iggy and Ludwig.
*In ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'', Lemmy and Ludwig are both fought in the same level, albeit in different waves (Lemmy comes two waves before Ludwig). All the Koopalings are fought again at the same time later in the game, with Ludwig as the captain and the rest as regular troops.
*Although Monopoly Gamer is technically not a video game, the Koopalings nonetheless act as "bosses" for each deck. The order they are fought in is the same as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
*In ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Larry is fought first, then Iggy and Wendy are fought in the same level; Wendy is the fought one wave before Iggy, before fighting together in the last wave where Iggy is the first officer and Wendy is the captain, and Iggy is fought again later in the game, followed by Roy, and finally Morton. Ludwig and Lemmy are never fought. Dark versions of the Koopalings are fought alongside the [[Best Fitness Friends|final boss]], as well as in the final post-game level [[Beat the Minions!]]
*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', Roy is faced in the second day of the ''Super Mario'' campaign, Larry is encountered in the fourth day of the ''Sonic'' campaign, and Wendy is challenged in the sixth day of the ''Super Mario'' campaign. Once again, in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', during the story mode, only three Koopalings appear: Wendy is challenged first, followed by Larry and finally Ludwig.


In ''[[Nintendo Power]]'s'' ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, the Koopalings acted as Bowser's henchmen in his plot to kidnap and marry [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]].
==Portrayals==
Although the games themselves initially did not have the Koopalings speak (the DOS version of ''Mario is Missing!'' nonwithstanding), the Koopalings did have a variety of voice actors in various Mario media.


===Nintendo Adventure Books===
In ''Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.'', the Koopalings were voiced by Masaharu Satō (Larry and Iggy), Miyako Endō (Morton and Wendy), and Naoki Tatsuta (Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig).
The Koopalings appeared throughout the [[Nintendo Adventure Books]], often aiding Bowser in his latest scheme, though they would occasionally strike out on their own, as was the case with Ludwig in ''[[Pipe Down!]]'' and Iggy in ''[[Brain Drain]]''. The only book in which all seven appeared together was ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', which has Wendy steal her brothers' wand so she can fuse them with her own to make a super wand that, along with minions loyal only to her, would allow her to usurp her father.


In the books Iggy was the Koopaling featured the most, often appearing as the main threat due to whipping up a new invention like the [[GLOM]], [[Monster Mixer]] and [[Synapse Switcher]]. Larry was used the least, his only noteworthy role in the series being ambushing Mario and Yoshi in an entirely skippable sequence in ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]''.
In the DIC cartoons, the Koopalings were voiced by James Ransken ([[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy]]), [[Gordon Masten]] ([[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth]]), [[Tabitha St. Germain]] ([[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie]]), [[Tara Strong|Tara Charendoff]] ([[Iggy Koopa|Hop]]), [[Dan Hennessey]] ([[Roy Koopa|Bully]]), [[Stuart Stone]] ([[Lemmy Koopa|Hip]]), and Michael Stark ([[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]]).


===''Mario is Missing!===
The Koopalings appeared in the interactive anime video ''[[Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land]]'', and there they were given spoken dialogue. Their voice actors were not credited.
In ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', the Koopalings travel to [[Earth]] with Bowser to aid him in his plan to melt [[Antarctica]], thereby flooding the Earth. A Koopaling would guard the corridor of Bowser's fortress and battle [[Luigi]], who was searching for his missing brother. All it would take are a few bops on the head to defeat a Koopaling in ''Mario is Missing!''.


In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] version of ''Mario is Missing!'', only [[Ludwig Von Koopa|Ludwig]], [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] and [[Iggy Koopa]] appear; in the PC version of the game, [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] and [[Morton Koopa Jr.]] are the only ones not appearing, though they are mentioned in the game's manual.  Also in the PC version, instead of stomping the Koopalings, Luigi defeats them with a single blast from a [[Fire Flower]] that he gains after locking each door on a floor.
In ''Mario is Missing!'', the Koopa Kids, as noted above, were given dialogue. In the ''CD-ROM Deluxe'' version, Larry, Iggy and Ludwig were voiced by Rob Wallace, Wendy was voiced by Kathy Fitzgerald, and Roy was voiced by Bruce Sandig, who also voiced the unused clips of Lemmy.<ref>{{cite|url=www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Mario-Is-Missing|title=''Mario is Missing!''|publisher=Behind the Voice Actors|language=en|accessdate=June 28, 2024}}</ref>


===''Yoshi's Safari===
In ''Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World'', the Koopalings did have voices, although they just gave dying screeches when defeated by Mario or Luigi. Additionally, they were all similar monster roars, and only Iggy, Lemmy, Wendy and Larry used them.
In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', the Koopalings once again aid Bowser in the conquest of a kingdom, this time the target is [[Jewelry Land]]. In this game, the Koopalings attack Mario by using weaponry (supposedly built by Iggy). It would take various shots from Mario's [[Super Scope]] to beat a Koopaling, thus forcing it to hold up a white flag of defeat.


===''Hotel Mario===
Starting with 2009's ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the Koopalings were given in-game voice acting, although it was largely composed of grunts and roars instead of actual dialogue. Larry, Morton, Wendy and Lemmy are voiced by [[Lani Minella]], Iggy and Ludwig are voiced by [[Mike Vaughn]], and Roy is voiced by [[Dan Falcone]].
In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'' a Koopaling would guard a hotel which they had taken over. Mario would have to adventure through a Koopaling's hotel and reach their room to battle them. Their hotels were passed in this order:


*[[Morton's WoodDoor-Hysteria]]  
From ''Mario Kart 8'' onwards, all the Koopalings, except for Roy, are voiced by new voice actors, with Morton, Ludwig, Iggy, Wendy, Larry and Lemmy  being voiced by [[David Cooke]], [[David J. Goldfarb]], [[Ryan Higgins]], [[Ashley Flannegan]], [[Michelle Hippe]] and [[Carlee McManus]] respectively. This time, they do say actual words and phrases, besides their "No!" yells when defeated in the former games.
*[[Roy's HardBrick Hotel]]
*[[Larry's Chillton Hotel]]
*[[Lemmy's High-ate Regency Hotel]]
*[[Ludwig's Thump Castle Hotel]]
*[[Wendy's Blitz Snarlton Hotel]]  


Despite their efforts, and like in the previous engagements, the Koopalings were defeated. Iggy Koopa didn't have his own hotel, but he accompanied his father in the final battle.
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Koopalings have reused their voice samples from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.


===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga===
In ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', the Koopalings have spoken dialogue for the first time since the ''Mario's Early Years!'' series. Their voice clips, however, are reused from ''Mario Kart 8''.  
[[Image:Koopalings MandLSS.PNG|frame|The '''Koopalings''' in the order the player fights them.]]
{{quote|Koopalings! Your time has come!|Bowletta|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga}}


After several years absence, the Koopalings make a return appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. During the game, the witch [[Cackletta]] who had previously [[Bowletta|stolen Bowser's body]] takes control of [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Bowser's Castle]] and uses the fortress to attack [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. The Koopalings serve "Bowletta" and work to impede the Mario Bros.' progress.
In ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', the Koopalings again have spoken dialogue.


After getting into Bowser's Castle, Mario and Luigi fight the Koopalings in their respective rooms, usually needing to complete some sort of challenge in order to battle them. Additionally, the last three (Roy, Wendy and Larry) use a special [[Time Bob-omb]] in battle. If the Mario Bros. failed to end the battle successfully in 9 turns, the Bob-omb's timer would reach zero and it would explode, resulting in an instant [[Game Over]]. While the Mario Bros. ventured through the castle they encountered Bowser's children in the same order as in ''Super Mario World'' (Iggy, Morton, Lemmy, Ludwig, Roy, Wendy and Larry). After being defeated, each Koopaling left a warp point for the Mario Bros. to enter. None of the seven Koopalings had any lines of dialogue.
Although the Koopalings never actually spoke in the initial release of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' beyond uttering roars, they were given dialogue in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' in the alternate story mode ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', and to a lesser extent in the main game itself (although only Iggy, Ludwig, and Roy are actually seen speaking during this time). The voice clips are again the ones recorded for ''Mario Kart 8'', and they are used in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode of ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', in which the Koopalings have spoken dialogue.


==Birth Order==
==Profiles==
===Games===
===''Super Mario World''===
According to the Player's Guide for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Larry is stated to be the youngest of Bowser's children, while Ludwig is said to be the eldest. As Larry is the first Koopaling of the game, while Ludwig is the last, it is strongly implied that all seven Koopalings are fought in order from youngest to oldest, provided the player doesn't warp. However, the birth order for the five middle children has never been officially confirmed. Bowser Jr.'s age in relation to the Koopalings is also unclear, though he is assumed to be younger as he not only appears much later, but is also very childish when it comes to his traits.
*'''''[[Mario Mania]]'':''' ''Morton, Lemmy, Larry, Iggy, Wendy, Ludwig and Roy are the messiest, rowdiest, meanest kids imaginable which makes their pop, the King of the Koopas, mighty proud. Their philosophy is "divide and conquer," and they carry it out by spreading throughout their land of choice and each setting up their own impenetrable fortress.''<ref>''[[Mario Mania]]'', page 15.</ref>


===DiC Cartoons===
===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', an alternate birth order was used; much of this information comes from the Writer's Bible included on the Shout! Factory DVD set. Bully (Roy Koopa) is regarded as the eldest, while the twins Hip and Hop (Lemmy and Iggy Koopa) are the youngest. While Hip and Hop are said to be six-year olds, the rest of their siblings are all teenagers. Although Kootie Pie (Wendy O. Koopa) celebrated her sixteenth birthday in "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", the specific ages of the others was never confirmed. In a behind-the-scenes clip of the cartoon, the Koopalings were shown in the age order of Bully, Big Mouth, Kooky, Cheatsy, Kootie Pie, Hop and Hip.
*'''North American website bio:''' ''These crooked minions of Bowser await at the end of each world. Watch out—each have their own unique ways of causing trouble for Mario.''


==Relationship with Bowser==
===''Mario Kart Tour''===
In some of the Koopalings' appearances they were shown to act as his minions, though other depictions showed them acting as his children. It should be noted that the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' seemed more like giving his children gifts rather than simply using them as part of an evil plan. Bowser Jr. was shown to act like Bowser's child so it can be assumed he treats the rest the same way, as he has never explicitly stated Bowser Jr. is his favorite child, and using his other offspring as minions does not fit the current characterizations of Bowser.
*'''''Mario Kart Tour'' Twitter:''' ''Bowser Jr. may have joined the race, but he didn't come alone! He brought a few friends along with him, including Lemmy, Wendy, Ludwig, Roy, and the rest of the Koopalings! They each have their own special skills, so be sure to try them all!''<ref>{{cite|author=mariokarttourEN|date=October 16, 2019|url=x.com/mariokarttourEN/status/1184257649757622272|title=X post|publisher=X|accessdate=March 16, 2020}}</ref>

{{foreignname
In the Japanese versions, the Koopalings have been referred to by a multitude of names, all of which are derived from Bowser's Japanese name, 「クッパ」 (''Kuppa'' or "Koopa"). Some of their names also integrate the character 「コ」; it is ambiguous whether this character represents「子」(''ko-'', "child") or「小」(''ko'', "young").「コクッパ」can thus mean "Little Koopa", "Child Koopa", "Young Koopa", etc. A rare variant of this phrase, 「子クッパ」, is seen on the back of the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' box and on the ''Nintendo Official Guidebook'' of ''Super Mario All-Stars''. "7" or「七」, when used with「人」to count people, is read as ''shichi''; otherwise it is commonly read as ''nana''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:KoopalingsSPP.PNG|frame|The '''Koopalings'''' Beta sprites for ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''.]]
*Larry is the only Koopaling to not have used [[Warp Pipe]]s in any of his boss battles, with Lemmy and Wendy using them in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Roy using them in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Morton and Ludwig using them in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and Iggy using them in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.
*The Koopalings were originally going to appear in ''Super Princess Peach'' as boss characters in the order of ''Super Mario World'', though they were [[Super Princess Peach/Beta elements|dropped from the final version of the game for unknown reasons]]. In this game, Roy and Morton's shells were going to be coloured green like their brothers, rather than pink and grey, respectively.
*In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', every Koopaling is associated with [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Cards]]. Roy and Wendy are the first bosses on which Battle Cards can be used, Larry and Ludwig are the only bosses that can use their own Battle Cards, and Iggy, Morton, and Lemmy turn the player's Battle Cards into a special kind of Morton Battle Card, which either deals 60 damage to everyone, makes the player lose all of their star points, or gives the player a random [[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam#Items and Objects|Max Item]].
*The Koopalings are mentioned briefly in Bowser's trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
*Iggy Koopa and Larry Koopa appear in [[Mario's Early Years]]. Iggy is in the alphabet, and Larry comes out of a pipe if the player chose the correct answer, saying 'I like your choice'.
*While the Koopalings were fought on airships in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and Bowser Jr. was fought in towers in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', they swapped roles in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', where Jr. is fought only on the Airships and the Koopalings are encountered in the towers of each world.
*When the Koopalings jump from the cake in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii's'' opening sequence, they are lined up in the same order that they were fought in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.  
*Also, when the Koopalings throw the cake on "[[Princess Peach]]", Larry gets stuck in the cake with Peach.
*For ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the boss music used in Towers, as well as Castles, when fighting them is a remix of the boss theme from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
*The word "Koopaling" is likely a portmanteau between the word "Koopa" and "fledgling" or "youngling", which is closer to the Japanese version since "Kokuppa" is essentially "Little Koopa". However, it can also envoke the words "underling" and "sibling", as they function as both Bowser's minions and his children.
*The Koopalings don't have horns on their heads like Bowser Jr. and Bowser.  Their artworks also lacked visible tails before ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', even though they were visible in-game.
*The Koopalings' battle order in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' is the same order as in ''Super Mario World''.
*The Koopalings names can sometimes be seen on the tournament board in tournaments in ''[[Mario Golf 64]]''.{{refneeded}}
*Although the Koopalings do not directly appear in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', costumes that are based on them can be unlocked in that game.

“We just love being mean!!”
—Koopalings, Super Mario Bros. 3 instruction booklet

The Koopalings, also known as Bowser's Minions in the British English versions of some games, and in certain American works as the Koopa Kids, are a seven-member clan of recurring enemies in the Super Mario franchise, portrayed as siblings[1][2] who act as leaders of Bowser's Minions under Bowser. Individually, they are named Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig. Although Bowser Jr. is not a member of the Koopalings, they sometimes act as his personal minions, and he is often seen accompanying them.

The Koopalings debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3, and they later appeared as bosses in various SNES-era games of the Super Mario franchise before going on a long hiatus, reappearing once in 2003's Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and then being redesigned for 2009's New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which has since been followed by numerous appearances as both bosses in the platformers of the Super Mario series and playable characters in various spinoffs. They have also appeared in various other media, including the cartoon The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, which featured entirely different names for the characters due to them not having official names at the time of its production phase.

Originally, the Koopalings were depicted as Bowser's children[3][4][5][6][7] and stated to be his offspring.[8][9][10][11][12] Older games continue to maintain them as his children in re-releases and updated manuals.[13][14][15][16] However, Shigeru Miyamoto eventually affirmed that Nintendo's "current story is that the Koopalings are not Bowser's children" in 2012, leaving the Koopalings as his underlings and Bowser Jr. as his only child.[17]

Members

The Koopalings are listed below in their original order:

Image Name Description

Larry Koopa
 Larry Koopa Larry Koopa is the youngest Koopaling who is often seen at the forefront of the Koopalings' antics, and he wields the orange magic wand. His main color representation is sky blue, although his shell was originally colored green, his hair was white in early sprites, and he lacked the small star on the side of his face. There is some confusion over the identity of Larry's namesake; the most recent official statement from his christener, Nintendo of America employee Dayvv Brooks, is that Larry was named as such because he simply "looked like a Larry," though Brooks had previously stated that Larry's name was derived from Larry Mullen Jr., the drummer for the Irish rock band U2. He was also known as "Cheatsy" in the cartoons, alluding to the fact that he will try to win by any means, legitimate or otherwise. He seems to have an interest in sports, such as how he plays tennis with a fireball in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. In the Nintendo Comics System, he communicated via pictures in word bubbles, which only Lemmy understood.
Morton Koopa Jr.
 Morton Koopa Jr. Morton Koopa Jr. is the only Koopaling to have a brown skin tone and is often depicted as the largest Koopaling, wielding the red magic wand. His main color representation is black, although his shell was originally gray, he was colored yellow with a green shell in Super Mario World, and he lacked the distinctive star on his face in his early in-game sprites. He is named after the American tabloid talk show presenter Morton Downey, Jr. He was also known as "Big Mouth" in the cartoons, due to his talkative nature, and often talks for long amounts of time, only to be stopped by another character, most often one of his siblings. In other appearances, he seems to be rather grouchy, with brutal strength to match. Morton's level of intelligence is portrayed inconsistently; sometimes he is shown to be quite slow-witted, but in other games, he possesses a more cunning side.
Wendy O. Koopa
 Wendy O. Koopa Wendy O. Koopa is the sole female Koopaling; she wields the purple magic wand. Her main color representation is pink, although her shell was a shade of deep red in Super Mario World. She is named after Wendy O. Williams, an American singer and frontwoman of the punk rock band the Plasmatics. She was also known as "Kootie Pie" in the cartoons and was considered a spoiled brat with a quick temper, often going into a rage over little things. She is stated to be tomboyish, and seemed to act as the de facto boss in Super Mario Adventures.
Iggy Koopa
 Iggy Koopa Iggy Koopa is a hyperactive, demented, and unpredictable Koopaling who wields the yellow magic wand. His main choice of color is yellow-green, although his shell was colored blue in early sprites and his hair was white in Super Mario World; before New Super Mario Bros. Wii, his hair was also similar to Lemmy's. He is named after Iggy Pop, an American rock musician and frontman of the proto-punk band the Stooges. He was also known as "Hop" in the cartoons and is the twin brother of Hip (Lemmy); together, they are among the youngest members of the family. He was just as childish and immature as his brother in the cartoon series, whereas in the Nintendo Adventure Books he was depicted as a brilliant (if crazed) inventor; this has possibly been hinted at in New Super Mario Bros. U, where the inside of his ship is mechanical rather than wooden.
Roy Koopa
 Roy Koopa Roy Koopa's head and sunglasses are pink (as was his shell originally), and he wields the black magic wand. His main color representation is purple, although his shell and head were colored lavender-purple in Super Mario World. He is named after American rock & roll singer Roy Orbison. He was also known as "Bully" in the cartoons and is said to be a typical bully who likes beating up others for his own amusement. This is true in most appearances, but in certain Japanese materials, Roy instead speaks in a calm and collected manner, so he may have more of a laid-back personality and be less of a tough guy. He is also the second bulkiest Koopaling after Morton.
Lemmy Koopa
 Lemmy Koopa Lemmy Koopa is depicted as a small, fun-loving child who wields the green magic wand and has been shown capable of being serious when the situation calls for it. His main color representation is orange. Although in Super Mario World, his shell was colored yellow and his hair was white, and his shell was originally green and he lacked the ponytail. He is named after the late Lemmy Kilmister, frontman of the English heavy metal band Motörhead. He was also known as "Hip" in the cartoons and is the twin brother of Hop (Iggy); together, they are among the youngest members of the family. Lemmy is usually depicted as perhaps the least bright Koopaling, but is also the most genuinely innocent of his siblings.
Ludwig von Koopa
 Ludwig von Koopa Ludwig von Koopa is the eldest[18] who possesses a magnificent intelligence most likely superior to that of the other Koopalings, and wields the blue magic wand. His main color representation is deep blue, although he was originally depicted with a green shell in artwork (aqua-blue in Super Mario Bros. 3 and yellow in Super Mario World), as well as white hair in early sprites. He is named after the German Classical and Romantic late composer Ludwig van Beethoven. He was also known as "Kooky" in the cartoons and had more of a mad scientist persona. Like his namesake, he is said to be a composer and is very much into the culture, but is also sometimes suggested to be the cruelest of the Koopalings. According to Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Ludwig egotistically believes himself to be a "real leader", to which the others, Lemmy, Morton, and Iggy specifically, claim they never voted on it and further explain they operate as a collective trust.[19]

In addition, the Prima Games guide of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 refers to Boom Boom as a Koopaling,[20] despite listing him separately in the Friends and Foes section.

Concept and creation

A sketch of Bowser and the Koopalings.
Early sketch of Bowser with Morton Koopa Jr., Lemmy Koopa, Iggy Koopa and Wendy O. Koopa made by Yoichi Kotabe and Takashi Tezuka.

One of the first sketches in which the Koopalings can be seen, a result of the collaboration between Yoichi Kotabe and Takashi Tezuka, happened before the release of the Family Computer Disk System version of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels in 1986 and is associated with Bowser's first redesign.[21] The Koopalings were modeled after the design team of Super Mario Bros. 3,[22] and they were all named after famous musicians by the game's North American localizers,[23] since they were not given distinct names in the original Japanese version.[24] In the Japanese version of Super Mario World, only their first names were adopted, dropping the Koopa surname,[25] as was done in many subsequent games (both in English and Japanese). The Koopalings were all given different names in the cartoons, purportedly because Nintendo of America had not released their own names yet, forcing the writers of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 to come up with their own names.

The word "Koopaling" itself is likely a combination of the name "Koopa" with the diminutive suffix "-ling", which is often used to denote a younger, smaller or inferior version, which aptly describes their relation to Bowser. Similarly, their original Japanese name, "Kokuppa" is essentially "Little Koopa" (which is what the retainers serving the kings call them in the NES and SNES versions) or "Child Koopa", with Koopa being the Japanese name of Bowser. Interestingly, only their Italian name, Bowserotti, actually means Little Bowsers using the Western name of Bowser, with the names in the other languages leaving the Koopa word intact, even when it does not specifically mean Bowser. The English name also evokes such words as "fledgling", "hatchling", "youngling", or even "underling", and may be a mere portmanteau between one of them and "Koopa".

History

Main article: History of the Koopalings

Since their debut in Super Mario Bros. 3, the Koopalings are notable for appearing as world bosses across Super Mario platformers. In some role-playing games including the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario series, they also appear as bosses. The Koopalings appear as seperate playable characters in some spin-offs. They appear in other Super Mario media under different names when they did not have their official names during production.

General information

Physical appearance

Koopalings
The Koopalings' depiction in New Super Mario Bros. U

All the Koopalings look relatively similar to Bowser and Bowser Jr., but lack horns on their head. Morton has a unique darker complexion, and three have heads that are not green in coloration (Morton's head is white and Roy's is pink while Wendy's head matches the rest of her body's yellow coloration). Three of them (Larry, Wendy and in part Iggy) have blue eyes much like Bowser in Super Mario Bros. 3 (but while Bowser's eyes were changed to red, the Koopalings' eyes remained blue). Originally, Ludwig, Morton and Lemmy's eyes were merely black dots, however the former two have since been shown to have thin dark gray irises. All of them have pointed claws on their hands. All the Koopalings have various distinguishing features, such as varying numbers of teeth protruding from their snouts and unique hair styles and colors. Oddly, their sprites in Super Mario World and the Super Mario Bros. 3 remake in Super Mario All-Stars gave them all white hair and coloration that did not match their artwork, carrying over from the original, inaccurate color palette from the NES. All of them, like Bowser, have ribbed plated bellies. Although the Koopalings were shown in the sprites to have at least four spikes on their shells, the cover for Nintendo Power Player's Guide for Super Mario All-Stars showed them, or at least Morton and Roy, only having three spines, all of which were directly on the center of the shell from top to bottom. In addition, while Lemmy does not have fangs, his in-game depiction in Super Mario World does.

While most of the Koopalings originally had green shells, redesigns introduced with New Super Mario Bros. Wii gave them all unique shell colors. Other aspects of their pre-existing designs were also tweaked, such as Iggy's hair being green rather than multicolored in order to differentiate him further from Lemmy, and their heights and builds being more varied, with Morton now the tallest, followed by Iggy, Roy, Ludwig, Wendy, Larry and finally Lemmy, who was the runt of the litter in their original appearances as well. Their tails also became visible in their official artwork starting from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, having not been drawn until then[26] except for some sprite depictions and an artwork which apparently shows Iggy's tail.[27] In their playable appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series, because they are model swaps of Bowser Jr., all of the Koopalings appear roughly the same height as one another, most notably with Roy, Iggy, Morton and Lemmy (although Iggy is still thin).

The Koopalings' designs were modified in the DIC cartoons, although they were still recognizable.

Personalities

The Koopalings' individual personalities have not been fleshed out much besides being childlike, their desire to cause mayhem, and their loyalty to Bowser. However, there were some hints in various supplementary materials. Some of the personalities changed between localizations. For example, Roy in the North American localizations was depicted in a manner similar to a bully (which also earned him the name "Bully" in the DIC cartoons), but the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 3 instruction booklet and Super Mario Advance 4 e-Reader cards give him a calm and collected demeanor. The original manual also gave each of the Koopalings several quirks unique to each of them that hinted at their individual personalities with some speeches uttered by them; however, the official English translation toned down several of these quirks or removed them altogether. Although loyal to Bowser, they also did not wish to be on the receiving end of Bowser's rage if they failed a task, as evidenced by Larry's reason for why he and the other Koopalings will not give up the kings' wands easily to Mario, as he stated that the alternative would be to get yelled at by Bowser. Prior to their modern depictions, they were given distinguishing characteristics in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and the Super Mario World cartoon, as well as the Nintendo Comics System and Nintendo Adventure Books. In Mario Kart 8, the Koopalings seem to have better speech capabilities than Bowser, as they can be heard saying their names at several points, and even yelling one or two-liners. In addition to being childlike, a Play Nintendo quiz describes the Koopalings as "zany".[28]

The Koopalings' loyalty to Bowser is strong enough that they are willing to serve him even when "Bowser" is actually not himself and in fact possessed by another figure. This is implied by their servitude to Bowletta in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and later confirmed in Paper Mario: Color Splash, where Wendy and Larry specifically mention doing their actions for Bowser and Morton indirectly says that as well despite Bowser being under the influence of black paint. In the former game's remake, they also possessed strong enough wills that Fawful, when brainwashing them with his spray, was ultimately forced to use a maximum potent dosage on them to sway them to his side.

They were also willing to work with Bowser's son, Bowser Jr., and had little problem with him, as implied by Roy Koopa briefly calling him squirt (Young Master in the Japanese version) and overall talking to him in a casual nature. However, Bowser Jr.'s Journey indicated that even they have their limits when working with Bowser Jr., as many of them ended up quitting on him due to being fed up with his notoriously selfish nature while they were trying to hunt for the remedy for the blorbs, the only real exceptions being Iggy and Morton, the former being forced to leave by Bowser Jr. due to finding him annoying, and the latter ended up brainwashed by the Best Fitness Friends into attacking Bowser Jr..

Abilities

The Koopalings each have varying abilities, but in general, the Koopalings are capable of using their shell as both a method of defense and a method of offense. In addition, they are all capable of jumping very high, and are all skilled in magic, frequently using magic wands as a weapon. While only Ludwig, Iggy, and Larry spat fireballs in Super Mario World, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga revealed that all Koopalings have this ability. Despite that, they are weak to fireballs, though their exact limit has varied between taking multiple fireballs to take down, or being one-hit knocked out by a single fireball. Similar to Bowser, they also have a tendency to survive dangerous hits. This is especially evident with their defeat in Super Mario World, where Larry, Wendy, Iggy, and Lemmy were dunked into lava by the Mario Bros., and each Koopaling later had their castles collapse on them, in New Super Mario Bros. Wii where they, alongside Bowser and Bowser Jr., ended up surviving being crushed by Bowser's falling castle, and in New Super Mario Bros. 2, where all of them were accidentally knocked into the lava twice (once by a gigantic Bowser, and then by a gigantic Dry Bowser). Their fighting prowess was such that they managed to casually knock away several Beanies while discussing how they can find Bowser at the same time in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions.

In terms of talents unique to individual Koopalings, they seem to know their own spells. While most of them simply cast a colorful shot of magic that slowly flies in a straight line, Wendy instead creates glowing rings that ricochet off the surfaces of the room, and Lemmy creates bouncing circus balls that can knock the Mario Bros. into a bottomless pit. In every game appearance outside of Super Mario World, Lemmy is always seen in battle balancing on top of a big yellow circus ball covered with starry patterns. Ludwig could create earthquakes with his descents in Super Mario Bros. 3, an ability that was taken away from him ever since New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but kept by Roy and Morton. Ludwig was given the ability to flutter jump in the New Super Mario Bros. games instead. In Super Mario World, Roy and Morton were able to walk up walls and ceilings and drop down at will.

Family relationship

Bowser and the Koopalings introducing themselves to Mario and Yoshi in Super Mario Story Quiz Picture Book 2: Mario's Sports Day (「スーパーマリオおはなしクイズえほん 2 マリオの うんどうかい」).
The Koopalings serve as Bowser’s children in older Super Mario games.[4]

In their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3, the Koopalings were introduced as siblings and Bowser's own children.[29][4][3] Most re-releases and remakes of this 1988 game as well as republications of the game's story retain this detail in Japan, including the 2013 Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console release.[13][14][30] However, the 2007 Japanese Wii Virtual Console version's manual does not mention their relationship to Bowser,[31] and the 2015 Japanese Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. uses a less strong statement than the one found in the original manual.[2] The 2018 English and French versions of Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. preserve the original manual's description of the Koopalings being Bowser's children verbatim,[32][33] while the German and Spanish translations of said book make no mention of their relationship.[34][35] Translations of Super Mario Bros. 3, its re-releases, remakes, official guides, and websites have kept this detail to varying degrees, with most calling the Koopalings Bowser's offspring.[36][37][38][8][9][10][11][39] The 1990 cartoon based on the game, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, follows this portrayal, with the Koopalings referring to Bowser as "king dad".[40]

The family in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

The 1991 Super Mario World English manual,[5] the Japanese Nintendo Official Guidebooks for both the original and 2001 Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World remake,[41][15] and related 1990 Japanese materials state that the Koopalings are Bowsers' children,[6] while the in-game text and Japanese manual (as well as its re-releases and remakes) do not make any direct statements about their relationship. In three character books written with the involvement of Nintendo, the Koopalings are considered Bowser's children, and in two cases explicitly stated to be members of his royal family (「王おう族ぞく」).[42][43][44]

The back of the English Yoshi's Safari box calls them Bowser's "offspring" in 1993, and the French translation of said text uses the same term as well,[12] which is absent in the Japanese manual.[45]

The manual for the SNES version of Mario is Missing! vaguely describes the Koopalings as Bowser's "bad boys",[46] although in the DOS version's in-game dialogue, the Koopalings refer to Bowser by name rather than with a familial title. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Bowser's seven children are mentioned in both the Japanese and English versions,[7] and this relationship is also mentioned in the Super Mario Advance series from 2001 to 2003.[15][39]

Following the introduction of Bowser Jr. in 2002, who is treated independently from the Koopalings, and the lack of major appearances from the Koopalings between Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga in 2003 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii in 2009, there was confusion about the nature of Bowser's parenthood. Bowser Jr. was first implied to have replaced the Koopalings as Bowser's sole child in the description of Bowser's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Japanese version of which refers to Bowser Jr. as「ひとり息子」, meaning "one son" or "only son".[47] While the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. appear together in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, official websites refer to the Koopalings as Bowser's minions rather than his children, and as each other's comrades rather than siblings;[48][49] however, the game's Prima guide refers to the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. collectively as Bowser's children, and considers Bowser Jr. to be a Koopaling himself.[50][51] In a September 2012 interview, Shigeru Miyamoto, speaking with Takashi Tezuka, stated that the "current story is that the seven Koopalings are not Bowser's children", leaving Bowser Jr. as his only child (with an unknown mother).[17] In the Japanese Nintendo Direct announcing the Koopalings as playable characters in Mario Kart 8, they are described as「クッパ大魔王だいまおうの子分こぶん」(King Koopa's kobun),[52] which can refer to either underlings or adopted children. Their guidance conversation in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (which was later used again in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) notes their resemblance to Bowser Jr. and calls the relationship between them and Bowser a mystery, with the Japanese version also mentioning that they have been heard to be Bowser's minions. The website Play Nintendo has implied that Bowser needs to treat them more like his family.[53] Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge at Super Nintendo World has Bowser and the Koopalings form the antagonistic racing team; the queue has several vague allusions to their relationship, such as books with titles such as Raising Destructive Children and Sibling Rivalries and How to Exploit Them[54] (though the latter may instead be referring to Mario and Luigi).

In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the Koopalings have lines of dialogue, which would later continue in games such as Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Paper Mario: Color Splash, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. To reflect their revised portrayal, in the Japanese versions of the games, the Koopalings refer to Bowser as Master Bowser (「クッパ様さま」) and consider each other comrades (「仲間なかま」) without any family relationship, though multiple translations, including the English versions, portray them as siblings.[55][56] While the Japanese and English versions of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam portray the Koopalings' relationship to Bowser simply as them being his minions, the Italian and German translations mention that Bowser is their father.[57][58] Additionally, the Italian translation of Paper Mario: Color Splash is devoid of every explicit mention of the Koopalings as Bowser's minions present in the Japanese version.[59] The Italian manual of Monopoly Gamer Collector's Edition presents the Koopalings as the seven most dangerous amongst Bowser's minions,[60] and the Italian and German translations of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions retain a mention from the Japanese version that Bowser Jr. is the only son of Bowser.[61]

The Japanese website of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, besides referring to them using the newer Team of Seven Bowsers (｢クッパ7人衆｣) term instead of the original Bowser's Minions (｢クッパの手下｣) term, also indicates that they are considered as the leaders of the Bowser clan (｢クッパ一味の幹部｣).[62]

Birth order

In Nintendo Power, Larry was stated to be the youngest of the Koopalings[63] (reaffirmed as still true in his trophy description in the American version of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and his character origin tip in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), while Ludwig was said to be the oldest.[18] The birth order for the five middle children was not confirmed, although in Super Mario Bros. 3, as Larry is the first Koopaling to be fought and Ludwig is the last, the implication would seem to be that all seven Koopalings are fought in order from youngest to oldest (provided the player does not warp); however, Morton is described as "one of the older Koopalings" in the Super Mario Bros. 3 Nintendo Power Strategy Guide. [64] although this may have been in relation to Larry, the previous boss encountered. The Prima strategy guide for Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 describes Roy as being "a little heavier than his younger family", which might indicate that Roy is one of the older Koopalings.[65]

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Hip and Hop (Lemmy and Iggy) are depicted as twins and are contradictorily believed to be the youngest. Although Kootie Pie (Wendy) celebrated her sixteenth birthday in "Reptiles in the Rose Garden", the specific ages of the others was never confirmed. According to the Writer's Bible included on the Shout! Factory DVD set and brief concept clips of the cartoon, the other Koopalings were all teenagers; Bully (Roy) was the eldest, followed by Big Mouth (Morton), Kooky (Ludwig), Cheatsy (Larry), Kootie Pie, and finally Hip and Hop both at six years old. This is seemingly the reference used for the Nintendo Adventure Books series, since in Leaping Lizards Morton exclaims, "Little brothers are so cowardly!" in regards to Iggy, although this may have been a quip at Luigi's expense (who expressed particular resentment at that remark).

Leadership

The Super Mario Bros. 3 Nintendo Power Strategy Guide also states that Ludwig is Bowser's second in command,[18] effectively making him the leader of the Koopalings. Since then, this role has been supplanted by characters such as Kammy Koopa, Kamek, and Bowser Jr. The American English version of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and the European English version of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U state that Larry leads the Koopalings and Bowser's Minions respectively, although both are inaccurate translations of the original Japanese description, which simply states that Larry is one of the seven Koopalings and the leader of a special unit in Bowser's Minions.[66] In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Larry calls Ludwig "boss", and Ludwig shows that he thinks of himself as a leader, and even a king, both of which are contested by other Koopalings.

Fighting order

The order the Koopalings are fought differ in each game they appear as bosses:

Game First Second Third Fourth Fifth Sixth Seventh
Super Mario Bros. 3 / Monopoly Gamer Larry Morton Wendy Iggy Roy Lemmy Ludwig
Super Mario World / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Iggy Morton Lemmy Ludwig Roy Wendy Larry
Yoshi's Safari Lemmy Ludwig Wendy Larry Morton Iggy Roy
Hotel Mario Morton Roy Larry Lemmy Ludwig Wendy Iggy
New Super Mario Bros. Wii Larry Roy Lemmy Wendy Iggy Morton Ludwig
New Super Mario Bros. 2 Roy Iggy Larry Wendy Morton Lemmy Ludwig
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U Lemmy Morton Larry Wendy Iggy Roy Ludwig
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition Larry Lemmy Morton Wendy Iggy Roy Ludwig
Paper Mario: Color Splash Morton Iggy Ludwig Wendy Larry Lemmy Roy
Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser Larry Iggy Wendy Morton Roy Lemmy Ludwig

Notes

  • Due to the world structure of New Super Mario Bros. 2 (six main worlds and three optional special worlds), Worlds Mushroom and Flower (and their Koopalings, Larry and Lemmy) can be considered either to be preceded by World 6 (Bowser) or succeeded by Worlds 3 (Wendy) and 5 (Ludwig), respectively.
  • Even though Sparkling Waters and Frosted Glacier are officially considered to be the third and fourth worlds of New Super Mario Bros. U (and New Super Luigi U), respectively, the player can choose to beat whichever one (and their Koopalings, Larry and Wendy) first. Similarly, while all the levels are numbered in Yoshi's Safari, the player can play them in any order they wish.
  • Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam has the player fighting two or three of the Koopalings at once, with Roy and Wendy, then Larry and Ludwig, then Morton and Lemmy via Papercraft; then each pair is fought again, with Morton and Lemmy joined by Iggy. The first two pairs are also fought alongside Dry Bowser.
  • In the SNES version of Mario is Missing!, only Ludwig, Iggy, and Roy are fought, with Larry, Morton, Wendy and Lemmy only being depicted in the manual. In the DOS version, however, all except for Morton and Lemmy appear (although the latter two were planned to appear, at least in the CD-ROM Deluxe edition, due to the presence of unused voice clips), and they are fought in the following order: Larry, Roy, Wendy, Iggy and Ludwig.
  • In Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser, Lemmy and Ludwig are both fought in the same level, albeit in different waves (Lemmy comes two waves before Ludwig). All the Koopalings are fought again at the same time later in the game, with Ludwig as the captain and the rest as regular troops.
  • Although Monopoly Gamer is technically not a video game, the Koopalings nonetheless act as "bosses" for each deck. The order they are fought in is the same as in Super Mario Bros. 3.
  • In Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Larry is fought first, then Iggy and Wendy are fought in the same level; Wendy is the fought one wave before Iggy, before fighting together in the last wave where Iggy is the first officer and Wendy is the captain, and Iggy is fought again later in the game, followed by Roy, and finally Morton. Ludwig and Lemmy are never fought. Dark versions of the Koopalings are fought alongside the final boss, as well as in the final post-game level Beat the Minions!
  • In the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Roy is faced in the second day of the Super Mario campaign, Larry is encountered in the fourth day of the Sonic campaign, and Wendy is challenged in the sixth day of the Super Mario campaign. Once again, in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, during the story mode, only three Koopalings appear: Wendy is challenged first, followed by Larry and finally Ludwig.

Portrayals

Although the games themselves initially did not have the Koopalings speak (the DOS version of Mario is Missing! nonwithstanding), the Koopalings did have a variety of voice actors in various Mario media.

In Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros., the Koopalings were voiced by Masaharu Satō (Larry and Iggy), Miyako Endō (Morton and Wendy), and Naoki Tatsuta (Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig).

In the DIC cartoons, the Koopalings were voiced by James Ransken (Cheatsy), Gordon Masten (Big Mouth), Tabitha St. Germain (Kootie Pie), Tara Charendoff (Hop), Dan Hennessey (Bully), Stuart Stone (Hip), and Michael Stark (Kooky).

The Koopalings appeared in the interactive anime video Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land, and there they were given spoken dialogue. Their voice actors were not credited.

In Mario is Missing!, the Koopa Kids, as noted above, were given dialogue. In the CD-ROM Deluxe version, Larry, Iggy and Ludwig were voiced by Rob Wallace, Wendy was voiced by Kathy Fitzgerald, and Roy was voiced by Bruce Sandig, who also voiced the unused clips of Lemmy.[67]

In Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, the Koopalings did have voices, although they just gave dying screeches when defeated by Mario or Luigi. Additionally, they were all similar monster roars, and only Iggy, Lemmy, Wendy and Larry used them.

Starting with 2009's New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Koopalings were given in-game voice acting, although it was largely composed of grunts and roars instead of actual dialogue. Larry, Morton, Wendy and Lemmy are voiced by Lani Minella, Iggy and Ludwig are voiced by Mike Vaughn, and Roy is voiced by Dan Falcone.

From Mario Kart 8 onwards, all the Koopalings, except for Roy, are voiced by new voice actors, with Morton, Ludwig, Iggy, Wendy, Larry and Lemmy being voiced by David Cooke, David J. Goldfarb, Ryan Higgins, Ashley Flannegan, Michelle Hippe and Carlee McManus respectively. This time, they do say actual words and phrases, besides their "No!" yells when defeated in the former games.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Koopalings have reused their voice samples from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the Koopalings have spoken dialogue for the first time since the Mario's Early Years! series. Their voice clips, however, are reused from Mario Kart 8.

In Paper Mario: Color Splash, the Koopalings again have spoken dialogue.

Although the Koopalings never actually spoke in the initial release of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga beyond uttering roars, they were given dialogue in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions in the alternate story mode Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser, and to a lesser extent in the main game itself (although only Iggy, Ludwig, and Roy are actually seen speaking during this time). The voice clips are again the ones recorded for Mario Kart 8, and they are used in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, in which the Koopalings have spoken dialogue.

Names in other languages

In the Japanese versions, the Koopalings have been referred to by a multitude of names, all of which are derived from Bowser's Japanese name, 「クッパ」 (Kuppa or "Koopa"). Some of their names also integrate the character 「コ」; it is ambiguous whether this character represents「子」(ko-, "child") or「小」(ko, "young").「コクッパ」can thus mean "Little Koopa", "Child Koopa", "Young Koopa", etc. A rare variant of this phrase, 「子クッパ」, is seen on the back of the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 3 box and on the Nintendo Official Guidebook of Super Mario All-Stars. "7" or「七」, when used with「人」to count people, is read as shichi; otherwise it is commonly read as nana.

Trivia

  • Larry is the only Koopaling to not have used Warp Pipes in any of his boss battles, with Lemmy and Wendy using them in Super Mario World, Roy using them in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Morton and Ludwig using them in New Super Mario Bros. 2, and Iggy using them in New Super Mario Bros. U.
  • In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, every Koopaling is associated with Battle Cards. Roy and Wendy are the first bosses on which Battle Cards can be used, Larry and Ludwig are the only bosses that can use their own Battle Cards, and Iggy, Morton, and Lemmy turn the player's Battle Cards into a special kind of Morton Battle Card, which either deals 60 damage to everyone, makes the player lose all of their star points, or gives the player a random Max Item.

  2. ^ a b On page 33 of the Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros., there is this statement:「※取扱説明書のものをそのまま掲載しています。」; despite this, the part of the story where the Koopalings are introduced is this one:「さんざんこらしめたはずの大魔王クッパもマリオのいるキノコ王国からは手を引いたものの今度は子供コクッパ7兄弟を仲間に入れ、ワールドのあちこちでイタズラのやり放題。」; the「自分の」between「今度は」and「子供コクッパ7兄弟」, which roughly means "[Bowser's] own" and is present on page 4 of the original Japanese Super Mario Bros. 3 manualMedia:SMB3_Japanese_manual_pages_4_5.jpg, is absent in this story. The meaning of the sentence is roughly unaltered, as this wording omitting the possessive pronoun has also been used in the Nintendo Official Guidebook of Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, the latter of which also used the stronger form of the original story of Super Mario Bros. 3 showing the similar meaning of the two wordings, but the new one is less strong and explicit.
  3. ^ a b Super Mario Bros. 3 English instruction booklet. In the story section (page 5), they are called "Bowser's 7 kids" and "his 7 children", and Bowser's line (page 3) reads "Ha Ha Ha! These are my 7 children that are going to help me take over the Mushroom World!" The children are introduced with the phrase "These are Bowser's kids!!" (page 4). Larry (page 5), Morton (page 9) and Lemmy (page 34) refer to Bowser as their father or dad.
  4. ^ a b c In the Japanese instruction booklet of Super Mario Bros. 3, they are called「自分じぶんの子供こどもコクッパ7兄弟きょうだい」in the story section (page 4Media:SMB3 Japanese manual pages 4 5.jpg), and King Koopa's line (page 2Media:SMB3 Japanese manual pages 2 3.jpg) reads「ワッハハ。これから俺様おれさまの息子達むすこたちがこのゲームの説明せつめいをするぜ。息子達むすこたちの言いうことをよーく聞きいてせいぜいガンバルことだな。ワッハハ。」Note Koopa's use of「俺様おれさまの息子たちむすこ達」(ore-sama no musuko-tachi), which equates to "my children" (or, literally, "my sons") while at the same time referring to himself in an arrogant manner. The children are introduced with the phrase「そして、これがコクッパ7兄弟きょうだいだ！！」(page 3Media:SMB3 Japanese manual pages 2 3.jpg). Larry (page 4Media:SMB3 Japanese manual pages 4 5.jpg), Morton (page 8Media:SMB3 Japanese manual pages 8 9.jpg) and Lemmy (page 34Media:SMB3 Japanese manual pages 34 35.jpg) refer to King Koopa as「オヤジ」(oyaji), which is both a Japanese word for "father" as well as a term of endearment.
