[[File:Mario vs Larry Koopa2.PNG|thumb|300px|right|Larry Koopa's castle battle.]]
The Koopalings make their 3D-rendered debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Larry is the boss of [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]], which is reminiscent of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. In this appearance, Larry looks almost the same as before, but his two small fangs are now gone, he has a star-shaped birthmark similar to [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], though it's near the back of his head and he has a light-blue coloured shell similar to the colour of his hair.
Larry, Bowser Jr., and the rest of the Koopalings appear in the games's intro. They use a giant cake to capture Princess Peach during her birthday party. The Koopalings then flee on their airship while Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad give chase.
Before battling him, he is shocked at Mario's presence, rages about it and gets ready to fight. In the first battle, Larry fires blue fireballs at Mario and jumps. After being hit, he retreats into his shell and starts to spin around the area, causing Mario damage if he comes in contact with him. After three stomps on the head, Larry is defeated, retreating to his castle in World 1.
Larry's second battle (in his castle) is in a room filled with platforms that shift up and down thanks to [[Kamek|Kamek's]] magic. Larry has the same tactics as his last fight. However, his shell dash attack is more difficult to avoid because of the moving room, unless he gets stuck between two of the platforms. After three more stomps Larry is defeated. After this fight he falls off the screen, leaving the key to the [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|desert]], where [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] is. In the ending, he is shown limping when he comes across [[Bowser Jr.]], who points to the other Koopalings, and they watch as their siblings prop Bowser up, but unfortunately, the castle falls on Bowser and the six Koopalings. Unlike the others, Larry was unharmed as he was standing further away than the others.
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:Larry_NSMB2.png|thumb|right|200px|Larry in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.]]
Larry is a boss once again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. He is the castle boss of [[World Mushroom (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Mushroom]], an unlockable world. Like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', he'll throw a tantrum on the fact that Mario made through his castle before fighting him once more.
His battle features three blue platforms in the middle of the room, four holes, two on the floor and two on the ceiling and two stone pillars, which go in and out of the four holes, always one on the top and one on the floor. Using his magic wand, Larry shoots sky blue fireballs, which ricochet off the walls upon contact, similar to Wendy's

[[File:NSMBU Larryboss.png|thumb|left|220px|Mario facing Larry Koopa in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]
Larry reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', alongside the rest of the [[Koopalings]], [[Boom Boom]], [[Kamek]], and [[Bowser Jr.]]. He is the boss of [[Sparkling Waters]], and is battled in [[Larry's Torpedo Castle]]. His battle strategy is to blast fireballs and use water blasts from the pool below the arena, which act like the pillars from his previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' battles. When Larry is spinning in his shell, the water geysers
Despite this, Larry survives, and is later picked up along with the rest of the Koopalings by Bowser Jr., although they end up escaping by hanging onto Bowser's tail after the latter inadvertently destroyed Bowser Jr's (already damaged) ship.
On a side note, Larry is the only Koopaling to not receive new artwork, with his ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' artwork simply being reused, although with an updated look. Roy's artwork was also recycled, however it was mirrored and altered to add his [[Bill Blaster]] weapon. Also, the top of Larry's
Larry's role is slightly expanded, as he is in a challenge in Challenge Mode in [[Larry's Groundless Battle]]. This is exactly like the battle in the main game, except the player cannot touch the ground. The player can touch the geysers, however.

Larry appears in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. His battle is identical to in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and is fought in [[Larry's Trigger-Happy Castle]].

After barely escaping from being thrown on a grill himself, he retreats back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

[[
In the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series, Cheatsy's hair was changed to a lighter green color and drawn a tad thicker, most likely to resemble his appearance in the game. He's the only Koopaling to appear in more than one episode as a main villain (these episodes are in italics):
'''''[[Gopher Bash]]''''': Cheatsy recruits [[Monty

'''''[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]''''': In this episode, Cheatsy plays the role of the referee in the football game between the Mario Bros. and the Koopas.

Larry is the first boss in the PC version of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', where it takes a single blast from a [[Fire Flower]] to defeat him. He also taunts Luigi with the knowledge that he won't see his brother again, although he also admits that even he doesn't know the door Mario is trapped in. Eventually, after realizing that Luigi possesses a Fire Flower, and thus is capable of defeating him, Larry attempts to talk his way out by claiming that he's on Luigi's side, only for Luigi to ignore him. Larry does not appear in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''Mario is Missing!'', although he is pictured alongside the similarly-absent Morton and Lemmy in the manual of the SNES version.
===''
In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', Larry is the boss of [[Crescent Coast]]. Larry rides in a sun-like submarine that has a purple face and a blue nose. Mario has to shoot at the nose to get it to open up and expose Larry. He then zooms around the screen while Mario continues to shoot at it. Eventually the submarine breaks and Larry holds up a white flag as he floats up to the surface.
===''Hotel Mario''===
[[File:HM Larry.png|thumb|left|'''Larry''' in ''Hotel Mario''.]]
The last appearance of Larry for several years was in the obscure ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. He is found and battled in [[Larry's Chillton Hotel]] with the words "Larry's Cave Hotel" and "This mine is mine" written on the entrance. In battle, Larry attacks by using bombs as bowling balls, further signifying his love of sports. Like most other battles, this Koopaling can eat the Mario Bros. in (presumably) one gulp if they meet in an elevator.

Defeating Larry causes the spikes blocking their path to disappear, allowing Mario and Luigi to battle [[Fawful]].
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Larry reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. He first appears in [[Doop Doop Dunes]] with [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]] and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] where they capture Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario. In the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]], as Mario & co. head to the pipe that leads them to [[Bowser's Castle]], they are stopped by Larry and Ludwig, telling them they need a pass to enter. Larry and Ludwig then briefly attack the Mario gang inside the pipe until Starlow unleashes a "Supernova Sparkle" attack. Larry then walks out of the pipe with Mario & co. and has a short temper from Starlow calling him a shrimp, Luigi standing in the wrong side, and Ludwig not being present for his back-up. After Ludwig finally arrives, Larry and Ludwig fight Mario & co. Larry is encountered one last time on top of [[Neo Bowser Castle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Neo Bowser Castle]], alongside the rest of the Koopalings. Larry briefly tells Ludwig that he will be battling Mario & co. for his own free will, not because he (Ludwig) is some kind of leader. Larry and Ludwig then battle Mario & co. one last time. After the battle, Larry utters some last words, complaining to Ludwig that now he thinks he is some king, just before exploding.
In both of their boss battles, Larry and Ludwig use battle cards themselves. They can use these battle cards based on the amount of dark star points that they have, which they gain if they successfully damage Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario. Larry follows the moves of his brother, even if a bit clumsily (for example, after they attack by spinning the shell Larry is dizzy while Ludwig is not)<ref>NintenU (December 8, 2015).

They either retreat in the shell and attack the bros. first and then Paper Mario, or they try to hide behind a giant bomb that some Shy Guys try to deliver to the bros., or they attack with the wand. In the latter case, Larry always tries to attack Paper Mario, first with a magic fireball, then by waving his wand while running toward him. Like Wendy, Roy and Ludwig, when alone he creates giant magic fireballs with his wand.
===''Mario Kart 8''===
[[File:MK8WarioStadium2.png|thumb|left|Larry Koopa in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]
Larry Koopa, alongside the rest of the Koopalings, appears as a playable character for the first time in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', where he is an unlockable character. His nickname in a Japanese Nintendo Direct for ''Mario Kart 8'' is 「クッパ{{hover|軍団|ぐんだん}}の{{hover|特攻隊長|とっこうたいちょう}}」<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-I4diarSU0 "New Drivers!" in the Japanese Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref>, or "Koopa Troop's Special Squad Leader'" (localized as the "Authority of Acceleration"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flpfRzP2ONU "New Challengers" in the European Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref> or "Super Trooper of Bowser's Army"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ "New Challengers" in the North American Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref>). His emblem is shown to be a sky blue silhouette of his own head, in a similar manner to [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] His winning animation has him waving to the crowd<ref name="DJ Larry 1st">[http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Larry_1st_Electrodrome_3.jpg Larry waving to the crowd after winning at the Electrodrome, along with a screen with a silhouette of him as a disc jokey]</ref>. This time, he is voiced by Michelle Hippie, but still retains some of his old sound clips provided by Lani Minella.
Larry is one of the heavier lightweights in the game. As such, his acceleration, handling, and grip stats are lowered a little to boost his speed and weight (he shares this trait with [[Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Toadette]], [[Lakitu]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], and [[Isabelle]]).
Larry is the Normal Staff Ghost for [[Electrodrome]]. There is also an advertisement called "Larry Lights" that can be seen in that course, as well as several screens that feature a silhouette of him as a disc jockey in front of dancing Koopa Troopas and Shy Guys<ref name="DJ Larry 1st"/>.
Larry's main color for his parts is yellow, similar to Bowser Jr. in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and his signature light blue is used as a secondary or an alternative color. The color scheme selection of his parts is based on these colors. It is similar to that of Yellow [[Mii]]s, with some color schemes being used by Light Blue Miis. An expection to this is his [[Circuit Special]] which, despite being yellow and orange, is not used by either Mii color.
On an additional note, Larry has a peculiar glider trick animation while riding the inside drifting bikes; only one hand grabs the handlebar<ref name="Larryinwardtrick">[http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Larry_Sport_Bike_Glider_Trick.jpg Larry's glider trick, while riding an inside drifting bike.]</ref>, instead of the usual two with the outside drifting bikes and ATVs<ref name="Larryoutwardtrick">[http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Larry_Standard_Bike_Glider_Trick.jpg Larry's glider trick, while riding an outside drifting bike.]</ref>.

[[
Larry, along with the rest of his siblings, make their ''Super Smash Bros.'' debut as unlockable playable characters accessible via "palette swaps" of Bowser Jr.. He is treated as a separate character, having his own voice, and the announcer calls him by name, but his attacks are identical to Bowser Jr.. Larry can appear in place of Bowser Jr. in All-Star mode, like the other Koopalings, and he can be faced as an opponent in rounds 4 and 5 in Classic mode if the player chooses the defeated Bowser Jr. as a team member against another Bowser Jr.. The rim and propeller of his Koopa Clown Car are colored light blue, his signature color, and has a different face. He is voiced by Lani Minella. As such, he and his siblings reuse their voice clips from their appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. His trophy in the English version claims that he is the leader of the Koopalings. His American Wii U trophy instead calls him the youngest, reflecting his early age description (the European version's trophy, however, was left unchanged for unknown reasons). The title given to Larry in the [[Boxing Ring]] is "The Youngest" (NA)<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgZzlL6k3II Smash Bros.

===''Puzzle and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
Larry appears in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' as a Wood attribute character. He's the World 1-Castle and World 1-Airship Boss. Larry will join the player when ★World 1-Airship is completed. His Skill is '''Larry's Tornado''', which changes Light Orbs into Wood Orbs and Heart Orbs into Fire Orbs.
===''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''===
Larry makes his first playable appearance in the ''Mario & Sonic'' series, not counting his Mii costume in both ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'' and ''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games'', in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. He is only playable in Equestrian. In the 3DS version, he is unlocked by beating him in Dream Equestrian on Day Four of the Sonic Story. In the Wii U version, he can be challenged after placing first in the level 2 Equestrian tournament. Upon defeat, the player will unlock him for that event.
===Other appearances and references===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', there is a game named ''[[List of implied entertainment#Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker|Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker]]'' that [[Francis]] owns.
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', a costume can be unlocked for the player's [[Mii]] that is based on Larry.
====''Super Princess Peach''====
[[File:LarryUnusedSPP.png|thumb|125px|Unused ''Super Princess Peach'' sprite sheet.]]
Larry was originally going to appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', although he was [[List of Super Princess Peach beta elements|taken out of the final game]] with the rest of the Koopalings.
{{br
==General information==
===Physical appearance===
[[File:LarryKoopaArtwork.png|thumb|The current depiction of ''Larry Koopa'' in the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.''.]]
Larry is rather similar to his siblings, sharing the regular skin and head color. He is set apart by the blue star on the side of his head, which is similar to [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton's]] star and the stripes on the side of [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy's]] head; this star was not added until ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Even though early official information depicted him as much shorter than Mario<ref>[http://pressthebuttons.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452033569e201b8d0b43f5b970c 1993 Nintendo Character Guide Comparison Chart.] ''Press The Buttons''. Retrieved October 14,2015.</ref>, Larry is now around the same height as Princess Peach, and a little shorter than Ludwig. Larry has two, fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his snout, similar to Roy (though, originally, he had four teeth). His mouth is feline-shaped, as his lips are deeply curved, and his nose is flat; it is relatively the same as Roy's aside from the jawline. He also has a padded stomach and padded feet.
He has large, oval eyes that are light blue, like [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]]; however, his in-game sprites in ''Super Mario World'' depict them as green due to the SNES's color palette limitations. His head is oval-shaped as well. He is on the small side when compared to the others. Larry can easily be recognized by his spiky, combed back hair
===Personality and
Like the other Koopalings, not much of Larry's personality has been revealed. His trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' describes him with "aggressive tendencies." While this may reference his short temper in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros 2'', this may also have earned him his apparent position as head of the [[Koopa Troop]] special forces (which are considered to be the Koopalings themselves in his ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'' English trophy, his ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' U.K. English trophy and his ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' [[Boxing Ring]] stage screen alias). The North American version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', however, states he has a "serious case of little-brother syndrome", suggesting that he feels overshadowed by or inferior to his older siblings. He also seems to have an interest in sports, as he uses bombs as bowling balls in ''Hotel Mario'',
In ''The Adventures of the Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Super Mario World'' animated series, Larry was known as Cheatsy Koopa and he was given a personality to match his name, as he was sneaky, unfair, and devious. For example, he attempts to double-cross Bowser in his attempt to obtain the Mushroom Kingdom from Princess Peach in "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]". He also eavesdrops on a conversation between [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] in "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]". It is also shown that he enjoys listening to music, as shown in the episode "Never Koop a Koopa", where he is ignoring his father's lecture and listening to music on a set of headphones. He seems to be sarcastic too, as shown in "[[Gopher Bash]]", he says ''Don't just help him! Stand there!'' to his minions. In the PC version of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', Larry is shown acting tough as the first guard, but shows cowardice once Luigi gains a [[Fire Flower]] and has the potential to destroy him. Like Ludwig, he is also into
===Powers and
Like the other Koopalings, Larry has shown the ability to generate magic blasts and spit fireballs, as well as walk, run,
Sprites from ''Super Princess Peach'' relating to his planned appearance implied that he would have utilized his spin attack once again against Peach. Similarly, it would have been implied that his Vibe-state during what would have been the second half would have been "Calm."

'''Palutena:''' That's one of the Koopalings, Larry Koopa.<br />
'''Pit:''' Hmm. The resemblance to Bowser Jr. is strong.<br />
'''Palutena:''' That Koopa Clown Car is the mass-produced type.<br />
'''Pit:''' I guess as heir to the throne, Bowser Jr. would get preferential treatment.<br />
'''Viridi:''' The relationship between Bowser and the Koopalings is a real mystery.<br />
'''Pit:''' I kind of feel bad for them.<br />
'''Palutena:''' That's sweet of you but not very conducive to taking them down, Pit.
