The '''Koopalings''' (known as '''Bowser's Minions''' in the [[PAL]] version and {{ja|クッパ7人衆|Kuppa Nana Ninshū}}, ''The Seven Koopa Bunch'' in the Japanese version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', sometimes referred to as '''Koopa Kids'''; not to be confused with the actual {{s|mariowiki|Koopa Kid}}s) are a clan of seven siblings that follow [[Bowser]] and are recurring villains in the {{uv|Mario}} series. Their individual names are '''Larry Koopa''', '''Morton Koopa Jr.''', '''Wendy O. Koopa''', '''Iggy Koopa''', '''Roy Koopa''', '''Lemmy Koopa''', and '''Ludwig von Koopa''', in the order they were fought in their debut game, ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. While initially unnamed in their original Japanese appearance, {{s|mariowiki|Dayvv Brooks}} of Nintendo of America gave each of them names after famous musicians, with the exception of Larry Koopa.

==Description==
The Koopalings first appeared as bosses at the end of the first seven worlds in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', and later reprised their roles similarly in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and appeared in multiple spin-off games and other adaptations of the ''Mario'' franchise. Following their appearance in ''{{s|mariowiki|Hotel Mario}}'', they ended up vanishing from the series, barring a relatively minor reappearance in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga}}'' as bosses. [[Bowser Jr.]] was also introduced in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'' during this absence, being described as Bowser's son and heir to the throne. The Koopalings, however, later returned alongside Bowser Jr. in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}'', and they have remained as frequent bosses in the sequels to the ''{{iw|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.|series}}'' series, as well as ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario: Color Splash}}''. Their resurgence in popularity later led to their playable debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}''.

The Koopalings were originally described as [[Bowser]]'s children and depicted as such in other media. However, this backstory was eventually discarded and they have only been referred to as particularly high-ranking minions of Bowser's following their reintroduction after Bowser Jr.'s debut. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] also later stated in a 2012 interview that Bowser Jr. is an only child, further distancing the relationship between Bowser and the Koopalings; despite this, re-releases of games featuring the Koopalings have not made an attempt to change this backstory. ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' later made light of this confusing relationship, with [[Palutena's Guidance|Pit's Smash Taunt]] for the characters noting that their Junior Clown Cars are mass-produced as opposed to Bowser Jr.'s personalized vehicle; [[Viridi]] also notes that the relationship between the Koopalings and Bowser is "a real mystery". Recent official materials by Nintendo implies that the Koopalings' relationship with Bowser is intentionally kept ambiguous, although they are confirmed to be related to each other.

In the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, Larry, Morton, Wendy, and Lemmy are voiced by {{s|mariowiki|Lani Minella}}, Iggy and Ludwig are voiced by {{s|mariowiki|Mike Vaughn}}, and Roy is voiced by {{s|mariowiki|Dan Falcone}}. Their voice clips from these games are used in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. However, from ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}'' onward (except for ''{{s|mariowiki|Puzzle and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Maker 2}}''), the Koopalings gained individual voice actors. While Roy continued to be voiced by Dan Falcone, Larry, Wendy, Lemmy, Iggy, Morton, and Ludwig were respectively recasted by {{s|mariowiki|Michelle Hippe}}, {{s|mariowiki|Ashley Flannegan}}, {{s|mariowiki|Carlee McManus}}, {{s|mariowiki|Ryan Higgins}}, {{s|mariowiki|David Cooke}}, and {{s|mariowiki|David J. Goldfarb}}.

==={{s|mariowiki|Larry Koopa}}===
{{redirect|Larry|the Smasher|Smasher:Larry Lurr}}
[[File:Larry Koopa.png|thumb|120px|left|Larry Koopa]]
'''Larry''' ({{ja|ラリー|Rarī}}, ''Larry'') is the leader and the yougest of the Koopalings. He is the first one fought in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and that fact has led to speculation that the Koopalings following him are ordered by age. However, the order varies in several later games, starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World}},'' where Iggy is fought first and Larry is fought last (Larry reprises his role as first later in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''). Larry is associated with grassy plains in most of the games he appears in. Larry's rear-facing mohawk-like hair and shell are colored electric blue, and he has large blue eyes. He is the second smallest Koopaling, after Lemmy. Unlike the other Koopalings, Larry's namesake is ambiguous, and he is possibly the only Koopaling not named after a famous personality. He has been previously reported to be named after either {{s|wikipedia|Larry King}}, an American radio and television personality, or {{s|wikipedia|Larry Mullen, Jr.}}, drummer for the Irish rock band {{s|wikipedia|U2}}. {{s|mariowiki|Dayvv Brooks}}, however, stated in a [http://kotaku.com/how-a-mario-character-was-named-after-motorheads-lemmy-1750180427 2015 interview] that "he just looked like a Larry." The title given to Larry in the [[Boxing Ring]] is "The Leader" in ''Smash Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'', in the north American version the title given is ''The Yougest''. He is known as "Cheatsy" in ''{{s|mariowiki|The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' and the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario World|television series}}'' TV series.

==={{s|mariowiki|Morton Koopa Jr.}}===
[[File:Morton Koopa Jr.png|120px|thumb|left|Morton Koopa Jr.]]
'''Morton''' ({{ja|モートン|Mōton}}, ''Morton'') has the most consistent encountering order among the Koopalings, as he is the second castle boss fought in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario World'', ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. He mostly presides in desert or mountain worlds, with the latter's landscape matching his color scheme. Morton is the second largest Koopaling, je prefer use the force  brutal than his brain, and some of his attacks involve hammers and stomps that cause quakes to show for it. He has very small eyes, a thick snout and inward-turning lower jaw/lip like Bowser's, very little hair, a black shell, and is the only Koopaling with skin that is not yellow-orange (his is a dark gray). he is named after {{s|wikipedia|Morton Downey, Jr.}}, an American television host whose eponymous program, ''{{s|wikipedia|The Morton Downey Jr. Show}}'', became one of the first well-known "{{s|wikipedia|Trash TV}}" programs. The title given to Morton in the Boxing Ring is "The Enforcer" in ''Smash Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''. He is known as "Big Mouth" in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Super Mario World'' TV series.
{{clrl}}

==={{s|mariowiki|Wendy O. Koopa}}===
[[File:Wendy O. Koopa.png|120px|thumb|left|Wendy O. Koopa]]
'''Wendy''' ({{ja|ウェンディ|Wendi}}, ''Wendy'') is the only female Koopaling. She is known as a tomboy and consider Peach and Daisy like his rivals. She's heavily associated with tropical locations and water, even having an attack that shoots life saver rings in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', where she is the third boss. She is the third smallest Koopaling, after Larry and Lemmy. Wendy wears a pink bow with polka-dots, pink heels, golden bracelets on her wrists (instead of spiked wristbands like her cohorts), pink lip-stick, and a bead necklace; she's the only Koopaling with accessories that aren't shades or glasses. She has full lips (unlike her associates), blue eyes, and a pink shell. She is named after {{s|wikipedia|Wendy O. Williams}}, lead singer of the American punk band {{s|wikipedia|Plasmatics}}. The title given to Wendy in the Boxing Ring is "The Bold Beauty" in ''Smash Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''. She is known as "Kootie-Pie" in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Super Mario World'' TV series.
{{clrl}}

==={{s|mariowiki|Iggy Koopa}}===
[[File:Iggy Koopa.png|120px|thumb|left|Iggy Koopa]]
'''Iggy''' ({{ja|イギー|Igī}}, ''Iggy'') is the first Koopaling to be fought in an equal number of instances to Larry: in ''Super Mario World'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. Before ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', before ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' Iggy's hair was the same as Lemmy's, being a rainbow-colored mohawk, and his eyes had multiple rings within them that made him look hypnotized. From ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' on, Iggy's hair has been neon green and is shaped similarly to a palm tree. Iggy is commonly associated with jungle and forest areas (matching his color scheme), and is implied in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. 2}}'' to be a mechanical genius with great agility, as well as being known for his deranged and crazy personality. Iggy wears glasses and his irises are surrounded by blue loops (remnant of his older design's eyes; his eyes are also the largest of the Koopalings'), and his shell is green with purple accents. Iggy has a longer shell than his cohorts, and is taller than all of them. He is named after {{s|wikipedia|Iggy Pop}}, lead singer of the American rock band {{s|wikipedia|The Stooges}}; as of 2019, he is the only Koopaling whose namesake musician is not deceased. The title given to Iggy in the Boxing Ring is "The Laughing Prankster" in ''Smash Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''. He is known as "Hop" in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Super Mario World'' TV series.
{{clrl}}

==={{s|mariowiki|Roy Koopa}}===
[[File:Roy Koopa.png|thumb|120px|left|Roy Koopa]]
'''Roy''' ({{ja|ロイ|Roi}}, ''Roy'') has a design typical of a "bad boy", having shades and being heavily associated with heavy weaponry (such as his {{s|mariowiki|Bill Blaster}} from ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. U}}''). He is the fifth Koopaling fought in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', serving as the boss of the sky world. Roy's environmental associations are among the most inconsistent of the Koopalings, having been grassy plains, the desert, and a cave. He has a purple shell, a pink head, and wears hot pink shades. He bears two fangs, like Larry. He is named after American rockabilly singer {{s|wikipedia|Roy Orbison}}, who also served as the inspiration for his shades. The title given to Roy in the Boxing Ring is "The Cool One" in ''Smash Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''. He is known as "Bully" in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Super Mario World'' TV series.
{{clrl}}

==={{s|mariowiki|Lemmy Koopa}}===
[[File:Lemmy Koopa.png|120px|thumb|left|Lemmy Koopa]]
'''Lemmy''' ({{ja|レミー|Remī}}, ''Lemmy'') is the smallest and the agile Koopaling. Lemmy shared Iggy's hairstyle until ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', where Iggy got a new one. Lemmy, and is normally seen balancing atop or holding an orange ball with stars on it. Lemmy is mostly associated with ice and presides as the boss of ice worlds in [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 3|two]] [[mariowiki:New Super Mario Bros. Wii|games]]. He has a rainbow mohawk, orange "bands" on the back of his head, dizzy eyes, an orange shell, and bears no teeth (like Wendy). Lemmy shares many traits with real-world {{s|wikipedia|clown}}s. He is named after the late [[wikipedia:Lemmy|Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister]], lead vocalist and bassist for English heavy metal band {{s|wikipedia|Motörhead}}. The title given to Lemmy in the Boxing Ring is "Wacky War Machine" in ''Smash Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''. He is known as "Hip" in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Super Mario World'' TV series.
{{clrl}}

==={{s|mariowiki|Ludwig von Koopa}}===
{{redirect|Ludwig|the Smasher|Smasher:Ludwig}}
[[File:Ludwig von Koopa.png|120px|thumb|left|Ludwig von Koopa]]
'''Ludwig''' ({{ja|ルドウィッグ|Rudowiggu}}, ''Ludwig'') is claimed to be the oldest Koopaling in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' strategy guide; the same guide also states that he is Bowser's second in command, though this plot point has been rendered invalid with the debut of Bowser Jr. He is the last Koopaling fought in his debut and consistently as of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. However, in ''Super Mario World'' Ludwig is the fourth Koopaling to be fought, though he is the only one with a unique fighting style. Ludwig is heavily associated with the sky and clouds, presiding as the boss of those kinds of levels in most of the games he's appeared. He is also shown to have enhanced jumping capabilities in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', similar to Yoshi. Ludwig has the most voluminous hair of the Koopalings, and expresses high levels of cunning and skill. He has small eyes (like Morton), blue hair, a blue shell, and bears a single fang from his mouth. He is named after German composer and pianist {{s|wikipedia|Ludwig van Beethoven}}, even sharing his namesake's hairstyle. The title given to Ludwig in the Boxing Ring is "Pompous Prodigy" in ''Smash Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''. He is known as "Kooky" in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Super Mario World'' TV series.
{{clrl}}

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
While the Koopalings do not physically appear in-game, they are indirectly mentioned in [[List of SSBM trophies (Super Mario Bros. series)#Bowser|Bowser's trophy description]]; as this trophy was written prior to the introduction of Bowser Jr., it directly refers to the group as his own seven children.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
Ludwig appears as a [[sticker]].

Additionally, while Morton himself does not appear in ''Brawl'', a reference to him is made in the form of [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser's]]  white palette swap, which is based on the former's original, pre-''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' design.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As playable characters===
{{main|Bowser Jr. (SSB4)}}
All seven of the Koopalings make their ''Super Smash Bros.'' debut as playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as [[Alternate costume (SSB4)|alternate costumes]] for {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}, who is in his {{s|mariowiki|Junior Clown Car}}. All are named by the [[announcer]] and have their own voices and sound clips. Their mass-produced Junior Clown Cars have yellow bulbs for eyes, and their cockpit rims and propellers are colored differently for each Koopaling (Morton's are gray, for example). Their voice clips are reused from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series. All of the Koopalings also have their own associated trophy, though these trophies are obtained from the [[Trophy Shop]] instead of being rewarded after completing [[Classic Mode]].

While some of the Koopalings have different proportions than Bowser Jr. in regards to weight or height, all of them are sized more similar to him in-game, causing some of the Koopalings to look slightly different from their depictions in the official games (such as Roy and Morton being smaller, Iggy being shorter, and Lemmy being bigger). However, Bowser Jr.'s reveal trailer appeared to show the various Koopalings more accurately in regards to their actual proportions, though this was later reverted slightly for the final builds of ''SSB4''. To some extent, the Koopalings' sizes in the game could be compared to their earlier in-game appearances in their first few appearances, like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' or ''Super Mario World'', where they were nearly all the same size.

In the Nintendo 3DS version, character trophies are outlined in the [[Trophy Gallery]] just as fighters are in standard gameplay, provided the option is enabled. The trophies for the Koopalings acknowledge their fighter status by giving them properly rendered trophies with outlines, despite the trophies being random drops either in-game or from the [[Trophy Shop]].

In the 3DS version, Larry's trophy says he is the "leader of the Koopalings, with aggressive tendencies to match." This is corrected in the NTSC Wii U version, but the PAL release retains this and labels him ''Leader of the Seven Minions''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As playable characters===
{{main|Bowser Jr. (SSBU)}}
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Koopalings return as playable characters accessible via Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes. They are once again 'unlockable characters', like in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''. Just like in the previous game, their attacks and statistics are identical to Bowser Jr.'s and (with the exception of the announcer, crowd, and character selection, all of which say and/or display their own names) the game does not acknowledge them as separate characters from Bowser Jr. in battle records and other miscellaneous aspects, such as Classic Mode.

Unlike in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the Koopalings now use their magic wands (from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games) for any occasion where Bowser Jr. would use his hammer. These occasions include all corresponding attacks, their side taunt, and one of their victory poses. Akin to their trophies in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', all of the Koopalings also have their own associated Fighter Spirits, although they can only be obtained from the Shop instead of being rewarded after completing Classic Mode.

==Trivia==
[[File:LemmyKoopaTrophy3DS.png|thumb|Lemmy's trophy in the Nintendo 3DS version.]]
*The Koopalings' order of alternate costume cycling is similar to the order in which they are faced in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', except Roy and Morton have their places switched.
*Despite being yellow in-game, the rim and propeller of Lemmy's Junior Clown Car is orange in his trophy in the 3DS version.
*Larry is the only Koopaling that can potentially appear in {{forwiiu}}'s {{b|Classic Mode|SSB4-Wii U}}. If the player has defeated Bowser Jr. in the first three rounds of a playthrough, it is possible to encounter another Bowser Jr. in rounds 4 or 5, as an opponent in a team battle; in this case, Larry will fight in Bowser Jr.'s place, but as Bowser Jr. has no chance of appearing again, Larry can be the only Koopaling to appear in the mode. In such a fight, the text by the game's portraits in-battle will incorrectly refer to Larry as Bowser Jr.
*In ''Ultimate'', Mario, Yoshi, and Peach are the only characters who face all of the Koopalings in each of their Classic Mode routes. All three characters of which face Bowser before a unique boss, despite Bowser appearing in the same round as Giga Bowser for Mario.
**Mario fights the Koopalings in the same order he faced them as bosses in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Yoshi fights them in the same order as in ''Super Mario World'' (his debut game), and Peach fights them in the same order as in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
**Larry, Iggy, and Lemmy are the only Koopalings who aren't fought outside of the team.
***Out of the other four Koopalings fought by other characters, Morton is the only Koopaling to be fought in more than one Classic Mode route; being in both Ike and Incineroar's Classic Mode routes each.
*Roy is the only playable character to share his name with [[Roy|another playable character]].
*In ''Smash 4'', all of the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. have the exact same animations except for Lemmy. When he is dizzy, his pupils move around in circles rather than the dizzy animation for the rest of Koopalings.
*Unlike [[Bowser]], [[Petey Piranha]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and  [[King K. Rool]], the Koopalings retain their voice actors from the ''Mario'' series. This trait is also shared with [[Yoshi]] ({{s|mariowiki|Kazumi Totaka}}), and Bowser Jr. ({{s|mariowiki|Caety Sagoian}}).
*The Koopalings, [[Zombie]], and [[Enderman]] are the only alternate characters who do not have alternate costumes of their own.
**The Koopalings and Enderman are the only playable characters to receive significant alterations to their canonical body proportions in order to work as alternate costumes to another character.
*Ludwig is the only alternate character to appear in any capacity in a ''Smash Bros.'' game prior to being playable, as he was a [[sticker]] in ''Brawl''.
