− | + | In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' he was given an airship that he used to invade Grass Land and steal the king's magic wand. However, [[Mario]] defeated him and retrieved the wand. Larry next appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where had his own fortress protecting the back door to his father's palace in the Valley of Bowser. This time Mario battled Larry atop a tilting island on a lava pool, and Mario beat him by knocking him into the magma pool. | |
− | + | Larry next showed up in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', where he helped Bowser steal the twelve magical crystals of Jewelry Land. Larry guarded the Diamond Crystal in the Crescent Coast and battled Mario in a robotic wheel, only to be beaten again. | |

− | + | Larry and the older Koopalings went into inactivity for a while until ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', when [[Cackletta|Bowletta]] called them to dispose of the Mario Brothers. He is the last Koopaling to battle Mario and [[Luigi]] after his siblings fail. Larry trapped Luigi under a barrel and tried getting Mario with fireballs, but they were deflected back at him. Larry then engaged the brothers in battle with a time limit set on a [[Bob-Omb]]. Larry put up a good fight only to be beaten badly, just like old times. | |
− | Larry | + | Larry returns in [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]] along with his siblings, now with a light blue shell, fewer fangs, and a star-shaped birthmark on his head. They kidnap Peach on her birthday and fly back to Koopa territory in an airship, with Bowser Jr. dropping each of the Koopalings off at fortresses along the way to slow down Mario and co. Larry is left at the World 1 fortress; he is visibly angered when Mario arrives and faces off against him with a new magic wand. After his first defeat, he escapes to the World 1 castle for a rematch, this time with help from [[Kamek]]. The Magikoopa casts a spell that causes pieces of the floor to rise and fall, though Larry falls again. Despite their failure, Larry and the other Koopalings return home on foot. Having the farthest to go, Larry arrives exhausted to find the other Koopalings tending to Bowser, only to have Bowser's Castle fall on top of them all. |
