The Top Ten
Iggy Koopa Iggy Koopa is a member of the Koopalings known for his wild personality and distinctive glasses. He often uses mechanical devices in battle, including a Chain Chomp and magic wand.

Iggy is just the best Koopaling ever in my opinion. He's the fastest Koopaling, owns a pet Chain Chomp, his magic wand summons Charvaarghs, and he can even walk on walls! You have to admit he's really crazy - his laugh and the way he smacks his butt whenever you run into him is dead funny! I love this guy so much haha!

Iggy Koopa is my favorite because he's wild, he's a nerd like me, he has a pet Chain Chomp, and he has cool glasses and a unique hairstyle. Also, people shouldn't say bad things about stuff in public 'cause it might hurt somebody's feelings.

Ludwig von Koopa Ludwig von Koopa is characterized by his intellectual nature and distinctive blue hair. As the eldest of the Koopalings, he is often portrayed as a leader and has a powerful arsenal of magic abilities.

Reasons why people here are claiming Ludwig is the best Mario character, or even fictional character:

His voice sounds very evil and fits his personality.

He is admittedly the most powerful Koopaling. The Koopalings are Bowser's kids that he uses as his most trusted captains. Ludwig can teleport, jump high, clone himself, and shoot three fireballs in a cone. When he is on his last hit, he shoots five fireballs.

He has a cocky personality. Just by the small interactions before boss battles, you can already tell he is overconfident in himself, which is justifiable as he is fighting either Italian plumbers or babies with mushroom heads.

He has an awesome design, luscious hair, a cool blue shell, and a dominating face.

He is the oldest Koopaling, the one you fight last, and part of Sky Land. He is also the most intelligent, which makes for a very tense battle.

He has some of the most unique battles. In the Wii version, you are on dangerous high-speed platforms that Ludwig has an advantage on. On the Wii U/Switch, he clones himself. Mario Maker 2 also has good Ludwig battles.

It is absurd to call him the greatest fictional character, but he gives off that vibe. If there was more focus on him, since the Koopalings have equal focus between each other, then you would see why. However, while I do really like him, he isn't the best Mario character.

Lemmy Koopa Lemmy Koopa is recognized for his playful demeanor and his unique ability to balance on a large rubber ball. His small size and circus-like antics make him one of the more eccentric Koopalings.

Lemmy is very small. He loves his ball. He rides it down Bowser's hall. He never needs to use a wall. He can make it tall. He can stand on it after a fall. He hates shopping at the mall. He's never mad at all. Thank you for reading this random comment y'all.

All the Koopalings have super lame boss battles, but Lemmy is the cutest Koopaling. In fact, Lemmy is the cutest character in the Mario series. Not a good boss, but great in Mario Kart 8.

Lemmy has super cool hair, and I love how he has balls and his funny little voice. Though in NSMBW, I don't like how he chooses slippery ice for his boss fight, but he is definitely awesome!

Roy Koopa Roy Koopa is known for his burly build, sunglasses, and tough demeanor. His combat style often focuses on brute strength, and he is one of the physically strongest Koopalings.

I like how he is a bully and that he can be intimidating even when wearing pink. Also, his sunglasses and bald head just look right.

Roy is the best Koopaling. He is so cool, and why do so many people hate him? All the Koopalings are great, but Roy is the best.

Literal Boom Boom with shades...

Morton Koopa Jr. Morton Koopa Jr. is easily recognizable by his large size and the star-shaped birthmark on his face. He tends to rely on his powerful ground-shaking attacks and physical strength in battles.

I love how chunky he is, so strong, and I love his jawline, but he is the best character in a YouTube channel SuperMarioRichie. He is so funny!

I've Morten. He is so cute and he makes me laugh because of how dumb he is.

Amazingly strong, but behavior-wise, Morton is kind of a derp.

Larry Koopa Larry Koopa is the youngest of the Koopalings and is often depicted as energetic and tenacious. He typically serves as the first Koopaling boss in many games, wielding his magic wand in battle.

Most everyone here hates him because of his boss fights. Yes, his boss fights are no good, but I love his personality. If you are going to respond by saying "he has no personality," he clearly does, but it isn't as fleshed out as the other Koopalings.

Because I searched him up when I saw him in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and I learned he's lazy, eats hot dogs and stuff like that, and he listens to everything, and that is what I do all day.

I LOVE LARRY!

Iggy still takes first place, but this one is practically fighting him for it! For the youngest Koopaling, he sure is strong. I hear some people have said that in Color Splash he's the hardest boss too! Makes me love him more!

Wendy O. Koopa Wendy O. Koopa is the only female Koopaling and is distinguished by her pink bow and jewelry. She frequently uses rings as her primary weapon during battles, combining elegance with aggression.

In the cartoons, while Wendy may have been annoying, new games have given her more character, making her really cool. Her lips and face look fine to me - actually really good.

I feel like she is very confident and is the only girl among the Koopalings. I think it was tough battling her in all Mario series.

She is very cute and cool, and the only girl, but Ludwig comes first. I love her as a plush, and she has a funny voice!
