A decoy[1] is a fake Koopaling doll used by Lemmy and Wendy in Super Mario World and its reissue. Lemmy's decoys have blue heads and a tuft of white hair, while Wendy's have yellow heads and wear a white bow and lipstick. During Lemmy's and Wendy's battles, a pair of decoys pops out of two pipes in the room, alongside the Koopaling themselves, in an attempt to confuse the player. The decoys can be jumped on, and if the player does so, Lemmy or Wendy will laugh.

Although the decoys themselves do not make any reappearances in later Mario-related media (not counting reissues), Wendy's and Lemmy's boss battles in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga have a similar concept where they have cloned doppelgangers fight alongside them. In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Wendy is one of the characters who can use Doppelganger, which creates duplicates of the user.
