{{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%.
====''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's Journey Troops.png
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.
