(There's no proof of that, all we know is that the Koopalings were seen in the games files but we don't know what their role would've been (esp. as the main game bosses were also already implemented). We should only just go by what we do know...)

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 [[Fire Piranha Plant]] (NES version) or a [[Cobrat]], [[Hoopster]], a purple [[Dino Rhino]], a [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] look-alike, an [[Albatoss]], a [[Monty Mole]], and a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] (SNES and GBA remakes).</ref>

[[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.

The Koopalings were originally going to appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' as boss characters in the order of ''Super Mario World'', though they were [[List of Super Princess Peach pre-release and unused content|dropped from the final version of the game for unknown reasons]]. According to the unused sprites, Roy and Morton's shells were apparently going to be colored green rather than their respective original pink and gray.

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]].
