Lemmy is found and battled in the cabin of his [[airship]] at the end of World 6. He rides a [[magical ball]] around during battle, and uses his wand to summon additional balls; once summoned, they do not disappear. The balls are obstacles and can be jumped on, but will shrink Mario or Luigi or make them lose a life if they are touched in any other way. At first, he balances in place on the right side of the room, conjuring balls. When jumped on and withdrawing into his shell, Lemmy stays in one place on his ball instead of jumping around. After coming back out of his shell, he begins running erratically around the room while summoning more balls. Being stomped three times defeats Lemmy, allowing [[Mario]] to return the magic wand to its king, and also turning the king back to normal.

In the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guide for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Lemmy is nicknamed the "Clown Prince of Koopas," a likely reference to one of the nicknames for Batman's archnemesis, [[wikipedia:Joker (character)|the Joker]] (the "Clown Prince of Crime"), itself a pun on the term for the heir apparent of monarchies ("Crown Prince").

In ''Super Mario Advance 4'', Lemmy's role was also expanded slightly with the initially-Japanese-only [[e-Reader]] level [[Armored Airship]]. The level is merely a more difficult reworking of the original [[airship]], with the player having to collect four [[Advance Coin]]s before battling Lemmy. It's stated Lemmy rigged the [[Bolt Lift]]s for this level himself, however.
