Ludwig von Koopa is the boss of the castle, with his boss arena taking place on the crow's nest, like [[Roy Koopa|Roy's]] boss arena. In battle he levitates in the air while making two duplicates of himself, and all three blast fireballs at Mario before dropping onto the ground. If the duplicate is jumped on, it simply disappears. [[Fireball]]s do not affect them. One way to find out which Ludwig is the real one is to see which one lands last, and then jump on that one. Also, the duplicates only fire two fireballs at a time each, while Ludwig fires three. When the fight starts off, after shooting their fireballs, they disappear before landing. After the first stomp, the duplicates do not disappear, making it a little harder on which is the real Ludwig. After the second stomp, not only do Ludwig and his duplicates shoot faster, but swap positions, but the real Ludwig still shoot three fireballs.

Mario battling Ludwig von Koopa

Ludwig von Koopa is the boss of the castle, with his boss arena taking place on the crow's nest, like Roy's boss arena. In battle he levitates in the air while making two duplicates of himself, and all three blast fireballs at Mario before dropping onto the ground. If the duplicate is jumped on, it simply disappears. Fireballs do not affect them. One way to find out which Ludwig is the real one is to see which one lands last, and then jump on that one. Also, the duplicates only fire two fireballs at a time each, while Ludwig fires three. When the fight starts off, after shooting their fireballs, they disappear before landing. After the first stomp, the duplicates do not disappear, making it a little harder on which is the real Ludwig. After the second stomp, not only do Ludwig and his duplicates shoot faster, they also swap positions. After the third stomp, Ludwig is defeated.

Additionally, during the boss battle, the tornado and a silhouette of Peach's Castle and Bowser's airship flying around it can be seen.
