Debut | Super Mario Bros. 3 |
Ludwig Von Koopa is the oldest child of Bowser. He looks quite terrifying with his wild blue hair and single tooth. Like his young siblings Morton and Roy, Ludwig could create small tremors whenever he slammed the ground.
Background
In Super Mario Bros. 3 he invaded the Pipe Maze kingdom in an airship and stole their king's magic wand. He could not use it for much malevolence (aside from turning the king into a Piranha Plant) before the Mario Brothers came and stopped him.
During Super Mario World, Bowser conquered Dino Land, and Ludwig got his own fortress atop Cookie Mountain along with a friend of Yoshi's to hold captive. Ludwig hopped and blasted fireballs at his intruders like his father before him, and there was no axe at the end of the bridge this time. Mario managed to conquer Ludwig with a few good old-fashioned bounces on the head.
When Bowser stole the twelve magic crystals of Jewelry Land during Yoshi's Safari, Ludwig was given the Green Crystal to watch over in Mushroom Land. There he piloted what looked like a giant mechanical Spiny. This was trashed by Mario and Yoshi, however.
After a long absence, the Koopalings returned when Bowletta called them into action to eliminate the Mario Brothers in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. Ludwig was fourth in line to take on the brothers. Ludwig only battles them if they sucessfully leap over his shell as he slides around the room in it. It would have been much more healthier for Ludwig to slide far away from the plumbers, for the ensuing battle did not go well for him.
