'''Iggy Koopa''' (known as '''Hop Koopa''' in the cartoons once mistakingly called '''Larry Koopa''') is a member of the [[Koopalings]], a seven-member clan loyal to [[Bowser]]. Iggy and his siblings are very loyal to [[Bowser]] and were originally depicted as his children. This idea was usually omitted in games released after their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] stated in a 2012 interview that [[Nintendo]]'s current story was that they are not Bowser's children, leaving [[Bowser Jr.]] as his only offspring.<ref>[http://www.screwattack.com/news/koopalings-are-not-related-bowser Screw Attack reports that "The koopalings are NOT related to Bowser!!!"] and provide a [http://www.screwattack.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/588/img021.jpg scan of a Game Informer interview with Shigeru Miyamoto]. Posted September 12, 2012. (Retrieved September 19, 2012)</ref> Iggy is depicted as a crazed, mechanical genius. His two main outstanding physical characteristics are his glasses and green hair (originally pink, light blue, and yellow). He is recently shown to be the thinnest of the Koopalings. Iggy is named after [[wikipedia:Iggy Pop|Iggy Pop]], a famous punk rock singer and leader of the band [[wikipedia:The Stooges|The Stooges]].

 

===''Mario is Missing!''===

Though absent from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', Iggy is in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and PC versions of the game, the latter of which he speaks entirely in rhyme. In this game, Iggy travels to [[Antarctica]] with Bowser and the other Koopalings, trying to aid them in stealing artifacts, which Bowser intended to sell to raise funds to buy hairdryers from [[Hafta Havit Mail-Order]]. With these hairdryers, Bowser plans to melt Antarctica, flooding the [[Earth]].
