The first appearance of the seven Koopalings was in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' where they are the main bosses of the first seven worlds of the game. Here, the Koopalings were ordered by Bowser to use their [[airship]]s and armies to conquer the various lands of the [[Mushroom World]]. Each Koopaling, after attacking a kingdom, stole the ruler's [[magic wand]] and transformed that ruler into an animal of some kind (or in the case of [[Pipe Land|Pipe Land's]] ruler in the NES version, a plant).<ref>Depending on the version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Koopalings will transform the respective rulers into a dog, a spider/silkworm, a kappa, a tyrannosaur, a vulture, a seal, or a [[
[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] battle a Koopaling every time they travel through a heavily-guarded airship. The battle against the Koopalings consists mostly of dodging the Koopalings' leaps and magical blasts from their stolen wand. It takes three stomps on the head or nine fireballs in order to defeat a Koopaling. Unlike Bowser, they are immune to hammers. Once defeated, that Koopaling retreats into their shell, flies away and drops their magic wand. After Mario or Luigi picks it up, the airship vanishes and that world's king is restored.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the Koopalings aid Bowser in his attack on [[Dinosaur Land]]. Each Koopaling was charged with guarding a castle on each of Dinosaur Land's areas.

The Koopalings made a surprise return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', serving as the tertiary antagonists and bosses in seven of the game's worlds. They also make an appearance in the game's opening sequence, hiding in a cake as cake toppings that the Koopalings presented [[Princess Peach]] with. [[Bowser Jr.]] also appears alongside the Koopalings. The seven Koopalings all sport what seems to be replicas of the magic wands from their first appearance, while Bowser Jr.'s [[Junior Clown Car]] is introduced. In the first seven worlds, an [[Airship]] drops off a Koopaling at a [[Tower]] in the middle of the world. Mario and his friends would have to ascend it, at the top of which the Koopaling of that world waited. When defeated in battle, the Koopaling then jumps away after their defeat, much like Bowser Jr. in the original ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', setting up a rematch at the [[Castle]] at the end of the world. Upon catching up with the Koopaling again, [[Kamek
After the credits, they are shown helping Bowser get back up (with the exception of Larry, who is shown just arriving, exhausted, and passing out before being gestured by Bowser Jr. to get up). When he does, however, Bowser's castle falls on top of them. When the screen cuts to black at the moment of impact, Bowser can be heard moaning in pain afterwards.
Line 96:
They use the [[Koopa Clown Car]] to kidnap Princess Peach, as seen in the intro, where Mario and Luigi fly around for [[coin]]s while the Koopalings capture the Princess. After Mario and Luigi safely landed, the Koopalings crash onto the floor, making the Mario Bros. lose their [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]]. They show them Princess Peach and fly away, with Mario and Luigi closely behind them.
One of the Koopalings is seen at the beginning of each world, where they run to the Tower with Princess Peach. After defeating the [[Reznor]]s in the Tower, the Koopaling of this world comes down with a chain, laughing or taunting Mario and then disappearing again, running to their castle. After the castle fight, the next Koopaling awaits with Princess Peach, only to run away to the next world. They are also seen with the Koopa Clown Car to turn Mario into stone in the final castle by blasting a bright light. After Bowser's initial defeat, the Koopalings, similar to [[Kamek
In this game, Roy is in World 1, Iggy is in World 2, Wendy is in World 3, Morton is in World 4, Ludwig is in World 5, Larry is in [[World Mushroom (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Mushroom]], and Lemmy is in World Flower. On a side note, when all Koopalings are in the Koopa Clown Car, the five Koopalings that are required to be fought (Roy, Iggy, Wendy, Morton and Ludwig) are within the car, while the two optional Koopalings (Larry and Lemmy) are holding onto the outside of the car. The ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' guide mistakenly gives the name Larry Koopa to Iggy Koopa.<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide, page 75.</ref>

The Koopalings, along with Bowser Jr. and [[Kamek
Lemmy is the [[Acorn Plains]] boss and thus the first Koopaling to fight, followed by Morton who is the boss of [[Layer Cake Desert]] (which is his first time as a desert boss since ''Super Mario Bros. 3''), Larry as the [[Sparkling Waters]] boss, Wendy as the [[Frosted Glacier]] boss, Iggy to be the boss of [[Soda Jungle]], much like how he was the boss of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and Roy as the boss of [[Rock-Candy Mines]], leaving Ludwig as the final Koopaling to fight, like in the previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, as the boss of [[Meringue Clouds]].
Line 125:
The Koopalings appear as placeable enemies in the final update for ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are available in all game styles except for the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style. In the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, the Koopalings' designs are based on Bowser's sprite from that game. In the North American update trailer, the Koopalings are shown using their ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' sprites in the ''Super Mario World'' style. As already shown by the Japanese trailer, this was changed in the final release where they are given new sprites, following a similar design to Bowser and Bowser Jr., while using palettes resembling those of their ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' sprites (aside from Lemmy, who remains yellow). Each Koopaling fights differently in-game, and their abilities are as follows:
*Larry fights using
*Iggy walks around and fires fast-moving
*Wendy casts [[
*Lemmy casts [[
*Roy digs into the ground and appears anywhere in the room (usually on the ceiling).
*Morton jumps up and slams into the ground, sending a shockwave across the floor and can even break [[Brick Block]]s if his slams are in the vicinity of them.
*Ludwig blasts 3 to 5
The Koopalings are considered their own group in the editor, which has a limit of seven per section for a limit of fourteen per course, which means that in a single section all seven Koopalings or even seven of the same Koopaling can be placed to fight the player.

{{quote|Koopalings! Your time has come!|Bowletta|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga}}
After a decade of absence, the Koopalings make a return appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. During the game, the witch [[Cackletta]] who had previously [[Bowletta|stolen Bowser's body]] takes control of [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Bowser's Castle]] and uses the fortress to attack [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. The Koopalings serve "Bowletta" and work to impede the Mario Bros.' progress.
After getting into Bowser's Castle, Mario and Luigi fight the Koopalings in their respective rooms, usually needing to complete some sort of challenge in order to battle them. Additionally, the last three (Roy, Wendy, and Larry) use a special [[Time Bob-omb]] in battle. If the Mario Bros. failed to end the battle successfully in nine, seven, or five turns, the Bob-omb's timer would reach zero and it would explode, resulting in an instant [[Game Over]]. The Koopalings are encountered in the same order as in ''Super Mario World'' (Iggy, Morton, Lemmy, Ludwig, Roy, Wendy, and Larry). After being defeated, each Koopaling leaves a warp point for the Mario Bros.

They also appear in the remake ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. In the former mode, they have the same role as before, although the battles are different, especially that against Ludwig, and this time they actually have dialogue, with Morton's personality being influenced by ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' in the way he talks. In the latter mode, they act as playable characters and bosses, where they have been controlled by a more powerful version of a spray sent by [[Fawful]] and are sent to conquer the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], and they are gradually rescued from the effects of the spray by [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], joining him and the other minions of Bowser to save the latter in the Beanbean Kingdom. In said mode, they initally display arrogance and disrespect toward their minions, outright ignoring the warnings sent to them by Captain Goomba, while toward the end of the story almost all of them, with the exception of Roy, end up recognizing his superiority, while still retaining a higher rank than him. In general, in this game it is noted how the Koopalings are among the highest ranking of Bowser's minions, as can be seen by the underlings using terms such as ''Sir'', ''my Lordship'', ''Master'' when talking to them; Ludwig is also again their leader, as briefly hinted in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]] and then reconfirmed in the battle where Captain Goomba must prove his loyalty to Bowser as well as his prowess in battle by fighting all the Koopalings he just rescued from the effects of the spray. Larry, Iggy, Wendy, Morton and Roy are found in the [[Beanbean Fields]], [[Chucklehuck Woods]], Gwarhar Lagoon, [[Teehee Valley]] and [[Joke's End]] respectively, while Lemmy and Ludwig stay in [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Bowser's Castle]]. After being beaten on a stage, they are replaced by dark versions of them just like the other characters that can be rescued from the effects of Fawful's spray. Since in the Minion's Quest mode all the minions of Bowser are sent against Mario and Luigi by Bowletta disguised as Bowser, the cutscene where Bowletta calls the Koopalings against Mario and Luigi is missing in the remake. They are later present during Bowser's official reinstatement of Captain Goomba into leader of the Koopa Troop forces, and the subsequent demotion of Captain Goomba from both this position and his rank of Captain after it was discovered that Captain Goomba was, albeit unintentionally, the reason why Bowser was rendered [[Rookie|amnesiac]] beforehand.▼
If all the Koopalings are used in a squad, a bonus skill called "The Seven Koopalings" is activated which increases the squad's HP by 20% and POW by 10%.

{{quote2|"I thought we were operating as a collective trust!"<br>"No. If anything, we're a republic..."|Iggy Koopa and Ludwig von Koopa|Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}
The Koopalings make an appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', as the tertiary antagonists. Contrary to ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the Koopalings have in-game dialogue. Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario encounter them at specific points throughout the adventure, which is again unlike in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', where they were only encountered during the end of the game before the final fights with [[Fawful]] and [[Cackletta]]. Although paper versions of the Koopalings are not featured, they are alluded to; when Roy asks Wendy why there are no [[#Paper Mario: Color Splash|paper counterparts]] of the Koopalings, she speculates that they are "probably just busy doing important stuff back home."
Line 211 ⟶ 208:
During the battle with [[Dry Bowser]], he can summon two Koopalings at a time to aid him, who must be defeated as well. First he summons Roy and Wendy, and then Ludwig and Larry. Morton, Lemmy and Iggy do not appear in this battle.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
[[File:BISDX - Bowser Jr
Although they were not present in [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|the original game]], the Koopalings appear in [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|the remake]]'s add-on story mode ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', acting as Bowser Jr.'s allies. Bowser had told the Koopalings to look after Bowser Jr. while he went to Peach's Castle. Lemmy was initially not with the group since he decided to stay at Bowser's Castle. However, they each left Bowser Jr. for different reasons; Ludwig was worried something was wrong at Bowser's Castle, Roy ended up being fed up with his more selfish nature, Larry and Wendy in order to attempt to save Bowser's Castle from falling under Fawful's control, Iggy due to Bowser Jr. firing him due to finding him annoying, and Morton was brainwashed by the main villains, the [[Best Fitness Friends]], into turning against him via the [[Malatone Formula:X]]. One Koopaling (along with [[Kamek]]) can be set as a [[First officer]] which gives stat boosts depending on which Koopaling, and each one also has their own Captain commands. During the final battle against the Best Fitness Friends' combined form, the latter entity summons dark doppelgangers of the Koopalings to act as its troops. Similar dark doppelgangers appear in the final post-game level, [[Beat the Minions!]], all under the effects of Malatone Formula:X. In each round, two of them are fought together as the captain and first officer, and in the last round they are all regular troops while the captain is a dark version of Bowser.

The Koopalings return as bosses to fight at the end of each world in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. Additionally, they reappear during the final battle alongside Bowser and Bowser Jr., riding in the Koopa Clown Car with Bowser. The combination of the Koopalings and Bowser is treated as a single enemy, and is named '''Bowser and His Minions'''.<ref>Zephiel810 (May 1, 2015).

The Koopalings were originally going to appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' likely as boss characters
The Koopalings are briefly mentioned as Bowser's children in his trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', but only Bowser Jr. is mentioned in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' trophy, while Ludwig alone appears as a [[sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]].
Line 503 ⟶ 506:
Starting with 2009's ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the Koopalings were given in-game voice acting, although it was largely composed of grunts and roars instead of actual dialogue. Larry, Morton, Wendy and Lemmy are voiced by [[Lani Minella]], Iggy and Ludwig are voiced by [[Mike Vaughn]], and Roy is voiced by [[Dan Falcone]].
In ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', all the Koopalings, except for Roy, are voiced by new voice actors, with Morton, Ludwig, Iggy, Wendy, Larry and Lemmy being voiced by [[David Cooke]], [[David J. Goldfarb]], [[Ryan Higgins]], [[Ashley Flannegan]], [[Michelle Hippe]] and [[Carlee McManus]] respectively. This time, they do say actual words and phrases, besides their "No!" yells when defeated in the former games.
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', as well as ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Koopalings have reused their voice samples from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
