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 became absent from the series for a long period of time, 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, newer games depict them with no familial relation to Bowser in the "current story", and they have only been referred to as particularly high-ranking minions of Bowser's following their reintroduction in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}'' after Bowser Jr.'s debut. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] stated in a 2012 interview that Bowser Jr. is an only child, distancing the relationship between Bowser and the Koopalings; despite this, re-releases of older games featuring the Koopalings have retained them as Bowser's children. ''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 imply 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 are now respectively voiced 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}}.

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 Bowser's own seven children.

*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.
