The Koopalings (コクッãƒ', Kokuppa) (also known as Bowser's minions
(クッãƒ'㠮手下, Kuppa no Teshita) in Japan and Europe or 7 Bowser
Team (クッãƒ'7人衆, Kuppa Shichi NinshÅ«) in Japan) are a
fictional group of seven childlike characters in the Mario video game
franchise by Nintendo. Their individual names are Larry Koopa, Roy
Koopa, Lemmy Koopa, Wendy O. Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Morton Koopa Jr., and
Ludwig von Koopa. Originally depicted as the children of the series
antagonist Bowser, they first appeared as boss characters in the 1988
game Super Mario Bros. 3. They have since appeared in subsequent Super
Mario games and spin-off Mario games.They have made several
appearances in other media, most notably in the animated series The
Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, which features entirely different
names for the Koopalings due to them not having had official names at
the time of its production phase. Iggy Koopa is the only one to appear
in Super Mario Bros.: The Movie. In 2020 Koopalings have appeared in
Super Mario Maker 2.The Koopalings first appeared on a sketch by
Yoichi Kotabe and Takashi Tezuka whose aim was finding a definitive
redesign of Bowser for the Family Computer Disk System version of
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Most of the Koopalings are
distinguished by their wild punk hairstyles. The first names of the
Koopalings would later be adapted for the Japanese version of Super
Mario World, which was released a few months after the North American
release of Super Mario Bros. 3. However, the Koopalings received a set
of different names in the DiC-produced The Adventures of Super Mario
Bros. 3 animated series, as they were still unnamed when the show was
in production.
