'''Larry Koopa''' (known as '''Cheatsy Koopa''' in the cartoons) is the youngest of the [[Koopalings]], a clan of seven siblings<ref>[http://newsupermariobrosu.nintendo.com/characters/#/koopalings As explained on the Koopalings' profile on the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' official site], as well as [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Larry's ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' trophy]].</ref> that act as leaders of the [[Koopa Troop]] under [[Bowser]] ([[Koopalings#Family relationship|originally considered his children]]). Larry has blue hair much like [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]], but in a different style.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:LarryKoopa SMB3.jpg|thumb|100px|left|Larry in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.]]
{{multiframe|[[File:LarrySprite-SMB3.png]]|[[File:LarrySprite-SMAS.png]]|}}
In Larry's first appearance, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'',  he is the first Koopaling to be battled. He steals the [[magic wand]] from the [[Kings|king]] of [[Grass Land]] and turns him into a [[dog]] (a [[Cobrat]] in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[Super Mario All-Stars|version]]). After Mario goes through all of the [[airship|airship's]] cannons, he battles Larry in his cabin, who is determined to fight Mario for the wand. In this battle, Larry jumps around and shoots magic blasts from his stolen magic wand. He needs to be jumped on three times to be defeated. He is then forced to make a quick retreat. Mario got the wand back, the king was returned to normal, and thanked him for returning him to his original state.

His role is expanded slightly in the opening cutscene of the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] remake, ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. He is shown breaking into the Grass Land [[castle]] at the dead of night during a thunderstorm, stealing the wand and turning the king into a Cobrat, leading to Grass Land's request for the Mushroom Kingdom's assistance.

====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:LarryKoopa2_SMB3.png|thumb|120px|right|Larry, as he appeared in ''Super Mario World''.]]
Larry's second appearance is in the last world of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the [[Valley of Bowser]]. In battle, he used [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy's]] attack pattern and defeating condition. He sits on top of a tilting platform on top of lava and is immune to all of [[Mario]]'s attacks. However, unlike Iggy, Larry's platform has three [[Lava Bubble]]s that jumps up and down. He can also throw more than one fireball at one time. Larry needs to be jumped on until he falls off his platform. After the battle, Mario kicks away his castle (literally), and gains access to [[Bowser's Castle]]. This is Larry's first time being the last Koopaling to fight so far.
{{br}}

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''==== 
[[File:NSMBW W1-Tower Larrykoopa.png|thumb|200px|left|Larry in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.]] 
[[File:Mario vs Larry Koopa2.PNG|thumb|300px|right|Larry Koopa's castle battle.]]
The Koopalings made their 3D-rendered debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Larry is the boss of [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]], which is reminiscent of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. In this appearance, Larry looks almost the same as before, but his two small fangs are now gone, he has a star-shaped birthmark similar to [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], though it's near the back of his head and he has a light-blue colored shell similar to the color of his hair.

Larry, Bowser Jr., and the rest of the Koopalings appear in the game's intro. They use a giant cake to capture Princess Peach during her birthday party. The Koopalings then flee on their airship while Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad give chase.

Before battling him, he is shocked at Mario's presence, rages about it and gets ready to fight. In the first battle, Larry fires blue fireballs at Mario and jumps. After being hit, he retreats into his shell and starts to spin around the area, causing Mario damage if he comes in contact with him. After three stomps on the head, Larry is defeated, retreating to his castle in World 1. 

Larry's second battle (in his castle) is in a room filled with platforms that shift up and down thanks to [[Kamek|Kamek's]] magic. Larry has the same tactics as his last fight. However, his shell dash attack is more difficult to avoid because of the moving room, unless he gets stuck between two of the platforms. After three more stomps Larry is defeated. After this fight he falls off the screen, leaving the key to the [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|desert]], where [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] is. In the ending, he is shown limping when he comes across [[Bowser Jr.]], who points to the other Koopalings, and they watch as their siblings prop Bowser up, but unfortunately, the castle falls on Bowser, Bowser Jr., and the Koopalings.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:Larry_NSMB2.png|thumb|right|200px|Larry in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.]]
Larry is a boss once again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. He is the castle boss of [[World Mushroom (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Mushroom]], an unlockable world. Like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', he'll throw a tantrum on the fact that Mario made through his castle before fighting him once more.
His battle features three blue platforms in the middle of the room, four holes, two on the floor and two on the ceiling and two stone pillars, which go in and out of the four holes, always one on the top and one on the floor. Using his magic wand, Larry shoots sky blue fireballs, which ricochet off the walls upon contact, similar to Wendy's [[candy ring]]s. Oddly, despite being seen dragging Princess Peach along when his world is unlocked, the aftermath of the battle does not have Mario discovering Princess Peach in the room after him. A similar oddity appears with Lemmy in [[World Flower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Flower]].

Like all the other Koopalings, Mario has to jump on Larry´s head to defeat him. After three stomps, Larry is defeated, leaving the key to World 3.

Larry survives the encounter, and rejoins his comrades at Bowser's castle, where they attempt to petrify Mario with their Koopa Clown Car's petrification device. He also aids Bowser alongside the rest of the Koopalings by causing him to grow larger, but it results in him and the others being knocked into a lava pit by Bowser due to his increased size. He and the other Koopalings survive, however, and attempt to help Bowser by airlifting him with the Koopa Clown Car, but this ends up with it crashing due to it being unable to handle the combined weight of both them and Bowser. Larry ends up flung into a tree as a result of the crash.

In the ''New Super Mario Bros 2'' guide, [[Iggy Koopa]] was mistaken for Larry in World 2.{{refneeded}}

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
[[File:NSMBU Larryboss.png|thumb|left|220px|Mario facing Larry Koopa in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]] 
Larry reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', alongside the rest of the [[Koopalings]], [[Boom Boom]], [[Kamek]], and [[Bowser Jr.]]. He is the boss of [[Sparkling Waters]], and is battled in [[Larry's Torpedo Castle]]. His battle strategy is to blast fireballs and use water blasts from the pool below the arena, which act like the pillars from his previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' battles. When Larry is spinning in his shell, the water geysers give his shell a boost upwards making it a bit difficult to avoid. After two stomps, Larry starts to cast two fireballs in quick succession. In addition, he is one of only three Koopalings to retain the use of a [[magic wand]], the others being Iggy and Ludwig. When the player reaches his airship at the end of Sparkling Waters' Castle, he'll emit a mocking laugh. However, when Mario actually boards his airship, Larry will once again get into one of his rages. Three hits to his head and he falls off-screen.

Despite this, Larry survives, and is later picked up along with the rest of the Koopalings by Bowser Jr., although they end up escaping by hanging onto Bowser's tail after the latter inadvertently destroyed Bowser Jr's (already damaged) ship.

On a side note, Larry is the only Koopaling to not receive new artwork, with his ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' artwork simply being reused, although with an updated look. Roy's artwork was also recycled, however it was mirrored and altered to add his [[Bill Blaster]] weapon. Also, the top of Larry's magic wand turns pink when Mario jumps on his head.

Larry's role is slightly expanded, as he is in a challenge in Challenge Mode in [[Larry's Groundless Battle]]. This is exactly like the battle in the main game, except the player cannot touch the ground. The player can touch the geysers, however.

=====''New Super Luigi U''=====
Larry appears in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. His battle is identical to in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and is fought in [[Larry's Trigger-Happy Castle]].

===DIC Cartoons===
====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:Cheatsy.jpg|thumb|left|Cheatsy Koopa, as he appeared in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.]]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' produced by [[Nintendo]] and [[DIC Entertainment]], he is named Cheatsy Koopa and is usually scheming up Bowser's latest plan, sometimes in conjunction with [[Ludwig von Koopa#DIC Cartoons|Kooky]].  There are several physical differences between Larry and Cheatsy: Larry's hair is pointed upwards but Cheatsy's hair is flatter and much more untamed; Cheatsy is almost always seen squinting and is given an overbite, and has a tail that curls around like a pig's. He appears the most of all the [[Koopalings#DIC Cartoons|Koopa Kids]]. Cheatsy is voiced by James Rankin.

A very common animation goof regarding Cheatsy is that his green head is often colored orange, the same color as the rest of his body. One particular shot in the episode "[[The Beauty of Kootie]]" even has his head mistakenly colored purple.

'''[[Sneaking Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]''': Cheatsy is assigned with several of his brothers to be Giant Ninja Koopas in order to capture [[Prince Hugo]] in [[Giant Land]] by [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. Cheatsy and his brother manage to capture not only Hugo, but [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] too. Cheatsy and his brothers are later defeated, turned back to their normal selves by [[Mario]] and co. Koopa manages to escape through a [[Warp Pipe]] to a [[Warp Zone]] with Cheatsy and his siblings. 

'''[[The Beauty of Kootie]]''': In the episode Cheatsy works with [[Wendy O. Koopa#DIC Cartoons|Kootie Pie]] to refill the [[Airship|Doom Ship]] engine with oil, which causes the [[Sultan]]'s jacuzzi to be filled with oil. Cheatsy then turns Kootie into a human to distract the Mario Bros, but Cheatsy turns Kootie back (but she fell for Luigi, who was transformed into [[Luigi|Casanova Koopa]] before the latter goes back to his normal self). Cheatsy and Kootie chase after him but again are defeated. 

'''[[Princess Toadstool for President]]''': Cheatsy and [[Ludwig von Koopa#DIC Cartoons|Kooky]] make a [[Nice Guy Potion]] for King Koopa so he can be elected to be king of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Cheatsy and Kooky eventually have to make more as the old potion's effects wear off. However, the Mario Bros. learn about this and ruin their last batch, thus stopping Koopa from becoming King. 

'''[[Never Koop a Koopa]]''': In this episode Cheatsy and Koopa capture the gang and Koopa teaches Cheatsy about double-crossing. Cheatsy later double-crosses Koopa into signing the Mushroom Kingdom to him, but Koopa tells him its just a smiley face and chases him around his throne. 

'''[[Tag Team Trouble]]''': Koopa and Cheatsy plan to get one million gold coins (Toad misinterprets this as a plan to steal the gold coins he was carrying to the orphanage, though this is not the case). Cheatsy enters the [[Sledge Bro|Sledge Brothers]] into the [[Mushroom Wrestling Federation]] to fight Toad's cousins. During the battle, true to his name, he cheats and hypnotizes Toad's cousins to fall sleep for two days. But Cheatsy didn't prepare for Mario and Luigi, who, with a little help from some [[Star|Starmen]], beat them and win the gold coins. 

'''[[Misadventure of Mighty Plumber]]''': Cheatsy has a minor role in this episode: he uses his wand to summon toys from the television, like a race car for [[Lemmy Koopa#DIC Cartoons|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa#DIC Cartoons|Hop]], and then [[Mighty Plumber]]. Cheatsy later is forced by [[Mario]] to put Mighty Plumber back into the T.V. 

'''[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]''': Cheatsy and his siblings attempt to steal a magic wand, but fail due to the Mario Bros. Cheatsy and his family eventually manage to steal the wand and control the Pipe Monsters (though Kootie Pie takes the wand after this and places a fence around Princess Toadstool.) to grab the brothers. Cheatsy then uses the wand to zap a [[Nipper Plant]] into a giant and tells it to eat the brothers, but it fails. Cheatsy then enchants the fence surrounding Toadstool in an attempt to trap Toad, but that fails as well. With the help of [[Wizard King of the West]], Cheatsy and his family are forced to give back the wand and return home. 

'''[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]''': When [[Junior (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|Junior]] comes to the Mushroom Kingdom, Cheatsy, Kooky and [[Roy Koopa#DIC Cartoons|Bully]] trick him into trapping the Mario Bros. However, since Junior doesn't want to destroy the brothers, Cheatsy, Kooky and Bully force him into the [[Pipe Land|Pipe Maze]], where Kooky poured lava into it in an attempt to dispose of the kid. But with the help of the Mario Bros., they were foiled once again. 

'''[[Do the Koopa]]''': Cheatsy, Bully and [[Morton Koopa Jr.#DIC Cartoons|Big Mouth]] go to get the [[Doom Dancer Music Box]] and steal it for Koopa. Cheatsy uses Big Mouth's string and grabs the Music Box for Koopa, only for Bully to use it to make him and the others dance. Koopa then uses it to make everyone dance until Mario covers his ears and destroys it. 

'''[[Kootie Pie Rocks]]''': Cheatsy helps Koopa bring [[Milli Vanilli]] to Kootie Pie, using the Doom Ship to kidnap them from a concert in [[New York City]], which was being attended by Princess Toadstool, Toad and the Mario Bros.

'''[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]''': In this episode, he helps his dad take over the [[Earth|Real World]] by taking over [[Australia]]. Cheatsy turns every human into a kangaroo, except one. He turns this man into a prawn, while alligators dressed as chefs attempt to put him on the grill. Cheatsy was foiled as Toadstool turns everyone back to normal and removes the alligator's teeth. After barely escaping from being thrown on a grill himself, he retreats back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

====''Super Mario World'' television series====
[[File:CheatsySMW.jpg|thumb|right|Cheatsy's appearance in the ''Super Mario World'' television series.]] 
In the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series, Cheatsy's hair was changed to a lighter green color and drawn a tad thicker, most likely to resemble his appearance in the game. He's the only Koopaling to appear in more than one episode as a main villain (these episodes are in italics):

'''''[[Gopher Bash]]''''': Cheatsy recruits [[Monty Mole|Monty Moles]] to help steal the cave people's crops and replace them with [[Piranha Plant|Piranha Plants]]. This plot is foiled by Yoshi, but he and the Monty Moles escape underground, telling the Mario Bros. they have to pay up if they want their crops back. The Mario Bros. rescue the food, but not before dropping the Monty Moles they kidnapped on top of Cheatsy. He sings his own self-praising song called [[List of Super Mario World songs#Cheatsy's Life|Cheatsy's Life]].

'''[[Rock TV]]''': Along with Kooky, Cheatsy helps King Koopa with his "Robby Rockwell" costume, which he uses to pitch Rock TV to the cave people.

'''''[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]''''': In this episode, Cheatsy plays the role of the referee in the football game between the Mario Bros. and the Koopas.

===''Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land''===
Larry appeared in the interactive Anime adaptation of ''Super Mario World''. On Chocolate Island, he, alongside [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]], [[Morton Koopa, Jr.|Morton]], and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], ambushed Mario and Luigi at a fortress. He alongside his brothers fought Mario after Wendy nearly fell into lava, but Mario broke open a red block to get a Cape Feather and sent them flying.
{{br}}

===Comics===
Larry often appeared in [[Nintendo Comics System]] comics, published by Valiant. Unlike his siblings and his father, he didn't speak an intelligible language (whether he was unable to or didn't by choice was not revealed). Instead, he spoke in pictures, which were only understood by Lemmy. However, in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, he was able to speak intelligibly.

===Nintendo Adventure Books===
In ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', either Larry or Ludwig compete alongside five of their siblings in the International Mushroom Games.

In ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', Larry and his brothers have their wands stolen by Wendy, who disappears with them shortly afterward, intent on overthrowing their father with her own army and a super wand she intends to create by fusing her own wand with her brothers'. If Luigi, who had been coerced by Bowser into searching for Wendy, tracks the female Koopaling down to her hideout, Bowser and the male Koopalings, who had been following him, will barge in after the plumber, but decide to stave off punishing Wendy for her treachery if she helps search for the hiding Luigi. If Luigi had acquired [[Boom Boom]]'s socks earlier in his adventure, he can toss them into Wendy's simmering wand combination potion, which will release fumes that knock the entire Koopa family and their minions out for at least a week.

In ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'', if Mario and Yoshi decide to hide from Bowser in the kitchen while snooping around his Dinosaur Island Castle, Larry (incorrectly described as having red and blue hair) sneaks up on the two, and steals several coins out of Mario's pocket before dumping a large pan of sticky, uncooked dough on him and Yoshi, trapping them.

===''Mario is Missing''===
[[File:MIMMSDOSLarryKoopaSprite.png|thumb|left|'''Larry''' in ''Mario is Missing!''.]]
Larry is the first boss in the PC version of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', where it takes a single blast from a [[Fire Flower]] to defeat him. He also taunts Luigi with the knowledge that he won't see his brother again, although he also admits that even he doesn't know the door Mario is trapped in. Eventually, after realizing that Luigi possesses a Fire Flower, and thus is capable of defeating him, Larry attempts to talk his way out by claiming that he's on Luigi's side, only for Luigi to ignore him. Larry does not appear in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''Mario is Missing!'', although he is pictured alongside the similarly-absent Morton and Lemmy in the manual of the SNES version.

===''Yoshi's Safari''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', Larry is the boss of [[Crescent Coast]]. Larry rides in a sun-like submarine that has a purple face and a blue nose. Mario has to shoot at the nose to get it to open up and expose Larry. He then zooms around the screen while Mario continues to shoot at it. Eventually the submarine breaks and Larry holds up a white flag as he floats up to the surface.

===''Hotel Mario''===
[[File:HM Larry.png|thumb|left|'''Larry''' in ''Hotel Mario''.]]
The last appearance of Larry for several years was in the obscure ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. He is found and battled in [[Larry's Chillton Hotel]] with the words "Larry's Cave Hotel" and "This mine is mine" written on the entrance. In battle, Larry attacks by using bombs as bowling balls, further signifying his love of sports. Like most other battles, this Koopaling can eat the Mario Bros. in (presumably) one gulp if they meet in an elevator.

After several years of absence, Larry reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' after [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]] is defeated. He is the last Koopaling to be fought, just like in [[Super Mario World]]. Before battle, Larry traps Luigi in a barrel and shoot fireballs at him. To engage Larry, Luigi needs to stand in front of the [[Bob-omb]] to bounce them back, and Larry bounces them back with his tennis racket. Luigi has to continue bouncing the Bob-omb back until one of the projectiles hits Larry, making him mad. In battle, he spits fireballs (similar to the other Koopalings) and bounces them back with his tennis racket. He also spins around, similar to [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]] or [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]].  He is also able to call in assistance in the form of a [[Time Bob-omb]]. He can also defend himself; if the player jumps or uses Knockback Bros, the Bros. will get poisoned or burnt. In the end, he is defeated and once again disappeared.

Defeating Larry causes the spikes blocking their path to disappear, allowing Mario and Luigi to battle [[Fawful]].

Larry reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. He first appears in [[Doop Doop Dunes]] with [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]] and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] where they capture Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario. He is also mentioned briefly by Roy and Wendy shortly before they fought the Mario Bros., where they tried to call him in to aid them in beating them up, though he failed to show (with Wendy later blaming Larry for this when they were defeated). In the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]], as Mario & co. head to the pipe that leads them to [[Bowser's Castle]], they are stopped by Larry and Ludwig, telling them they need a pass to enter. Larry and Ludwig then briefly attack the Mario gang inside the pipe until Starlow unleashes a "Supernova Sparkle" attack. Larry then walks out of the pipe with Mario & co. and has a short temper from Starlow calling him a shrimp, Luigi standing in the wrong side, and Ludwig not being present for his back-up. After Ludwig finally arrives, Larry and Ludwig fight Mario & co. Upon being defeated, Larry claims that fighting them and losing was all part of the plan to ensure the heroes couldn't infiltrate Bowser's Castle. Larry is encountered one last time on top of [[Neo Bowser Castle (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Neo Bowser Castle]], alongside the rest of the Koopalings. Larry briefly tells Ludwig that he will be battling Mario & co. for his own free will, not because he (Ludwig) is some kind of leader. Larry and Ludwig then battle Mario & co. one last time. After the battle, Larry utters some last words, complaining to Ludwig that now he thinks he is some king, just before exploding.

In both of their boss battles in the main story, Larry and Ludwig gain Dark Star Points by successfully damaging Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario. Those Dark Star Points are then used by Ludwig to unleash the effects of his [[Battle Card]]s. Larry follows the moves of his brother, even if a bit clumsily (for example, after they attack by spinning the shell Larry is dizzy while Ludwig is not)<ref name="PJLarryLudwig1stbattle">NintenU (December 8, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3TxwtAasoA Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Walkthrough Part 35 Ludwig & Larry Boss Battle]. ''Youtube''. Retrieved December 13, 2015.</ref>. They either retreat in the shell and attack the bros. first and then Paper Mario, or they try to hide behind a giant bomb that some Shy Guys try to deliver to the bros., or they attack with the wand.  In the latter case, Larry only attacks Paper Mario, first with a magic fireball, then by flailing his wand while running toward him. This is also the only attack of the Koopalings when both Mario bros. are defeated. Like Wendy, Roy and Ludwig, when alone he creates giant magic fireballs with his wand.

Larry and Ludwig are also summoned by [[Dry Bowser]] in the [[Arcade (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)#Boss Battle Ring|Boss Battle Ring]] after Roy and Wendy have been defeated, however this time they don't gain Dark Star Points.

Larry's head is light green instead of the usual dark green in this game, similar to [[Bowser]] in the ''Mario & Luigi'' games in general.

===''Mario Kart 8''===
[[File:MK8WarioStadium2.png|thumb|left|Larry Koopa in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]
Larry Koopa, alongside the rest of the Koopalings, appears as a playable character for the first time in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', where he is an unlockable character. His nickname in a Japanese Nintendo Direct for ''Mario Kart 8'' is ｢クッパ<span class=explain title="ぐんだん">軍団</span>の<span class=explain title="とっこうたいちょう">特攻隊長</span>」<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-I4diarSU0 "New Drivers!" in the Japanese Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref>, or "Koopa Troop's Special Squad Leader'" (localized as the "Authority of Acceleration"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flpfRzP2ONU "New Challengers" in the European Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref> or "Super Trooper of Bowser's Army"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ "New Challengers" in the North American Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref>). His emblem is shown to be a sky blue silhouette of his own head, in a similar manner to [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] His winning animation has him waving to the crowd<ref name="DJ Larry 1st">[[Media:Larry_1st_Electrodrome_3.jpg|Larry waving to the crowd after winning at the Electrodrome, along with a screen with a silhouette of him as a disc jokey]]</ref>. This time, he is voiced by Michelle Hippie, but still retains some of his old sound clips provided by Lani Minella.

Larry is one of the heavier lightweights in the game. As such, his acceleration, handling, and grip stats are lowered a little to boost his speed and weight (he shares this trait with [[Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Toadette]], [[Lakitu]], [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], and [[Isabelle]]).

Larry is the Normal Staff Ghost for [[Electrodrome]]. There is also an advertisement called "Larry Lights" that can be seen in that course, as well as several screens that feature a silhouette of him as a disc jockey in front of dancing Koopa Troopas and Shy Guys<ref name="DJ Larry 1st"/>.

Larry's main color for his parts is yellow, similar to Bowser Jr. in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and his signature light blue is used as a secondary or an alternative color. The color scheme selection of his parts is based on these colors. It is similar to that of Yellow [[Mii]]s, with some color schemes being used by Light Blue Miis. An expection to this is his [[Circuit Special]] which, despite being yellow and orange, is not used by either Mii color.

On an additional note, Larry has a peculiar glider trick animation while riding the inside drifting bikes; only one hand grabs the handlebar<ref name="Larryinwardtrick">[[Media:Larry_Sport_Bike_Glider_Trick.jpg|Larry's glider trick, while riding an inside drifting bike.]]</ref>, instead of the usual two with the outside drifting bikes and ATVs<ref name="Larryoutwardtrick">[[Media:Larry_Standard_Bike_Glider_Trick.jpg|Larry's glider trick, while riding an outside drifting bike.]]</ref>.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U''===
[[File:Larry SSB4 Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|Larry Koopa's artwork in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''.]]
Larry, along with the rest of his siblings, make their ''Super Smash Bros.'' debut as unlockable playable characters accessible via "palette swaps" of Bowser Jr.. He is treated as a separate character, having his own voice, and the announcer calls him by name, but his attacks are identical to Bowser Jr.. Larry can appear in place of Bowser Jr. in All-Star mode, like the other Koopalings, and he can be faced as an opponent in rounds 4 and 5 in Classic mode if the player chooses the defeated Bowser Jr. as a team member against another Bowser Jr.. The rim and propeller of his Koopa Clown Car are colored light blue, his signature color, and has a different face. He is voiced by Lani Minella. As such, he and his siblings reuse their voice clips from their appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. His trophy in the English version claims that he is the leader of the Koopalings. His American Wii U trophy instead calls him the youngest, reflecting his early age description (the European version's trophy, however, was left unchanged for unknown reasons). The title given to Larry in the [[Boxing Ring]] is "The Youngest" (NA)<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgZzlL6k3II Smash Bros. Wii U: All Character Aliases on Punch-Out Stage]</ref> or "Leader of the Seven Minions" (PAL)<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcNehbSwQAo Super Smash Bros.

Larry appears in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' as a Wood attribute character. He's the World 1-Castle and World 1-Airship Boss. Larry will join the player when ★World 1-Airship is completed. His Skill is '''Larry's Tornado''', which changes Light Orbs into Wood Orbs and Heart Orbs into Fire Orbs.

Larry makes his first playable appearance in the ''Mario & Sonic'' series, not counting his Mii costume in both ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'' and ''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games'', in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''<ref>Nintendo of Japan (December 20, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eA8IMHAHnQ 【マリオ＆ソニック ＡＴ リオオリンピック】オリンピック競技：馬術]. ''Youtube''. Retrieved December 30, 2015.</ref>. He is only playable in Equestrian. In the 3DS version, he is unlocked by beating him in Dream Equestrian on Day Four of the Sonic Story. In the Wii U version, he can be challenged after placing first in the level 2 Equestrian tournament. Upon defeat, the player will unlock him for that event.

{{LLQuote|Ahaaaaaaaaa! I love the smell of impending doom! It was my henchmen who hijacked this train, and it’ll be my henchmen who…keep the train, uh…hijacked.|Larry Koopa|Paper Mario: Color Splash}}
Larry makes his [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''<ref name="PMCS livestream 3">Crunchii. (September 25, 2016). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMaaUIHBUQ4l Paper Mario: Color Splash stream]. ''Youtube''. Retrieved September 26, 2016.</ref>. In this game, he and a bunch of Bowser’s minions hijack a train, [[Sunset Express]], to get to [[Starlight Cape]], where the orange [[Big Paint Star]] is. Mario battles Larry on top of the locomotive. Like many other paper characters, Larry has black eyes without irises, while his eyelids are white instead of green. Although not actually seen, he had earlier appeared in the previous level as a VIP diner at the restaurant that Mario had to sub as the head chef due to the original head chef being left severely injured by Shy Guys, where he had Mario prepare for him a massive steak in a pseudo-boss battle. After having the steak, he thanked Mario and stated the restaurant was officially one of his favorite "one and a half star restaurants" before taking his leave. He was always obscured by the drapes, however, leaving him unable to be seen, and he only revealed he was the VIP in question just before the boss fight.

===Other appearances and references===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', there is a game named ''[[List of implied entertainment#Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker|Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker]]'' that [[Francis]] owns.

In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', a costume can be unlocked for the player's [[Mii]] that is based on Larry.

==General information==
===Physical appearance===
[[File:LarryKoopaArtwork.png|thumb|The current depiction of ''Larry Koopa'' in the ''[[Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]''.]]
Larry is rather similar to his siblings, sharing the regular skin and head color. He is set apart by the blue star on the side of his head, which is similar to [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton's]] star and the stripes on the side of [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy's]] head; this star was not added until ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Even though early official information depicted him as much shorter than Mario<ref>[http://pressthebuttons.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452033569e201b8d0b43f5b970c 1993 Nintendo Character Guide Comparison Chart.] ''Press The Buttons''. Retrieved October 14,2015.</ref>, Larry is now around the same height as Princess Peach, and a little shorter than Ludwig. Larry has two, fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his snout, similar to Roy (though, originally, he had four protruding teeth), along with a complete set of teeth as shown in the battle against him and Ludwig in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', when he flails his wand against Paper Mario and when he's falling after being hit by his own bomb<ref name="PJLarryLudwig1stbattle" />. His mouth is feline-shaped, as his lips are deeply curved, and his nose is flat; it is relatively the same as Roy's aside from the jawline. He also has a plated belly and padded feet.

He has large, oval eyes that are light blue, like [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]]; however, his in-game sprites in ''Super Mario World'' depict them as green due to the SNES's color palette limitations. Artwork for ''Super Mario World'' revealed that he has eyelids as well<ref>[[Media:SMWLarryfight.png|Artwork of the fight with Larry Koopa in ''Super Mario World]], ''Nintendo Power Super Mario World Guide'', page 20</ref>, that reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''<ref>Boss Fight Database (September 28, 2016). [https://youtu.be/_OvXkC5G4ok?t=347 Paper Mario Color Splash: Larry Boss Fight (1080p 60fps)]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved september 29, 2016.</ref>. His head is oval-shaped as well. He is on the small side when compared to the others. Larry can easily be recognized by his spiky, combed back hair, which is ice blue with highlights and blue roots (although it is depicted as white in his ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' sprites due to graphical limitations). Over time his hairstyle has remained relatively consistent. His shell is also light blue, lined with a white encasing, and the multiple, short spikes are circled with blue rings; originally, his shell was green, as seen in both his artwork and his sprites for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'', which was changed to its current color in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. He wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other Koopalings.

===Personality and traits===
Like the other Koopalings, not much of Larry's personality has been revealed. His trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' describes him with "aggressive tendencies." While this may reference his short temper in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros 2'', this may also have earned him his apparent position as head of the [[Koopa Troop]] special forces (which are considered to be the Koopalings themselves in his ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'' English trophy, his ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' U.K. English trophy and his ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' [[Boxing Ring]] stage screen alias). The North American version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', however, states he has a "serious case of little-brother syndrome", suggesting that he feels overshadowed by or inferior to his older siblings. He also seems to have an interest in sports, as he uses bombs as bowling balls in ''Hotel Mario'', he uses a tennis racket to hit his own fireballs in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and he performs a special glider trick when riding inward drifting bikes such as the [[Sport Bike]] in ''Mario Kart 8''. Despite this interest, he has never appeared in any of the ''Mario'' sports games. In the Wii U version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', Larry got 'hooked' on Equestrian and can't seem to stop talking about it to the [[Mii|player]]. The same game and his in-battle sprite in ''[[Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' shows that Larry cares about the look of his hair. ''Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam'' also implies he may have an interest in video games as Roy, after he and Wendy fail to get Larry to help them says that he is "probably off playing video games or something." ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' shows that he didn't possess a lot of stamina, as he was quite far behind his family, trying to catch his breath, while his siblings were trying to help Bowser up off the ground. Although, this may be due to the fact that he was residing in World 1, presumably the furthest world from Bowser's Castle in World 8. He also frequently gets dizzy after spinning, as shown in both ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', when he attacks by spinning his shell, and in his 1st place victory animation in the 3DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''<ref name="1stplaceRio3DS">Zephiel810 (February 20, 2016). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmgWbMyYeyw Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (3DS) - All Character Victory Animations]. ''Youtube''. Retrieved February 26, 2016.</ref>. In the Japanese manual for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Larry speaks in a masculine manner while thinking lowly of the [[Mushroom World]]'s [[kings]] and suggesting he and his siblings only follow orders because they don't want Bowser to yell at them. The official strategy guide for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' has Larry being depicted as taunting and arrogant, believing Mario won't deduce his weaknesses, and also has a strange accent where he pronounces "th-" syllables with "d" syllables. In ''Mario is Missing!'', Larry even attempts to talk his way out of being defeated by Luigi when sensing that the latter is about to defeat him. In ''Mario Kart 8'', Larry's silhouette could be seen in the Electrodrome race track as a disk jockey, implying that he may have an interest in that profession, or an interest in music in general. His Prima Offical Game Guide bio of the game also states that he is a "cheatsy devil" (which may be a reference to his cartoon counterpart) and an experienced schemer. In volume 41 of "Super Mario-Kun," the Koopaling was accused of being a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanpa flirt] by [[Blue Toad]], as he and [[Yellow Toad|his brother]] caught Larry for hitting on their mother. In ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', he is shown to be something of a glutton, as evidenced by his (anonymously) having Mario prepare a massive steak and specifically requesting that he wants the best prepared steak, the fact that he uses the train's chimney to revive stamina via hearts that a Shy Guy was delivering to him, and upon being beaten his deeply considering getting some lamb chops. Like in the instruction booklet for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Larry also makes clear that his motives for hijacking the train to get the Orange Big Paint Star is specifically to avoid upsetting Bowser, although in this case, he claims he pities Bowser when he's upset due to citing that his disappointed face was "heartbreaking." When he is defeated, Larry ends up stating he'll have to go on the lam due to failing Bowser, feeling he can't face him ever again, although the term "lam" caused him to think of getting lamb chops.

In ''The Adventures of the Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''Super Mario World'' animated series, Larry was known as Cheatsy Koopa and he was given a personality to match his name, as he was sneaky, unfair, and devious. For example, he attempts to double-cross Bowser in his attempt to obtain the Mushroom Kingdom from Princess Peach in "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]". He also eavesdrops on a conversation between [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] in "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]". It is also shown that he enjoys listening to music, as shown in the episode "Never Koop a Koopa", where he is ignoring his father's lecture and listening to music on a set of headphones. He seems to be sarcastic too, as shown in "[[Gopher Bash]]", he says ''Don't just help him! Stand there!'' to his minions. In the PC version of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', Larry is shown acting tough as the first guard, but shows cowardice once Luigi gains a [[Fire Flower]] and has the potential to destroy him. Like Ludwig, he is also into horror to some degree, as seen in ''Hotel Mario'', since the room that the player fights him in is called "Larry's Scary Lair". His hotel itself is very dark and the entrance states, "THIS MINE IS MINE". Larry's hotel tagline may also indicate a greedy side to him, since the name of the hotel shows that Larry is very possessive of his belongings.

While the games don't reveal much about the relationship between Larry and his siblings, both ''Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam'' and the 3DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'' reveal that Larry has some kind of admiration for Ludwig, that he tries to imitate although he still isn't able to replicate all his moves without getting dizzy. In the former game, he always fights with Ludwig in the battles and is never seen alone with his other siblings, furthermore he also shows more respect towards him than his brothers, calling him ''boss'' and accepting to have him as his lead even after Ludwig's leadership among the Koopalings has been questioned<ref>BeardBear (December 3, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlBs_Qspg6c Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Walkthrough Part 27 | Neo Bowser Castle #5 & Bosses Koopalings]. ''Youtube''. Retrieved February 26, 2016.</ref>; in battle he also follows him trying to imitate his moves, but gets dizzy after spinning in the shell<ref name="PJLarryLudwig1stbattle" />. In the latter game, Larry's 1st place victory animation starts by imitating Ludwig's 2nd and 3rd place victory animation, but after spinning he again gets dizzy<ref name="1stplaceRio3DS" /><ref>Zephiel810 (February 25, 2016). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtAS9Ve453g Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (3DS) - All Character 2nd/3rd Place Animations]. ''Youtube''. Retrieved February 26, 2016.</ref>.

===Powers and abilities===
Like the other Koopalings, Larry has shown the ability to generate magic blasts and spit fireballs, as well as walk, run, jump and spin inside of his shell. He is usually the weakest of the group due to him being faced in battle before the others in most games. However, on some occasions he is actually the last to be fought and his abilities are altered accordingly. In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' the only magic he can perform with his wand is to make a low heated blue fire ball. Unlike the other Koopalings, Larry doesn't show any signs of improvisation, as he keeps his battle tactics mostly the same when the player fights him the second time (neither has he ever used [[Warp Pipes]] in his battles, unlike his siblings). In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' he has the same stats as Iggy and uses the same technique of spinning around at extreme speeds in order to make his foes dizzy. He is unique in that he uses a tennis racket to spar with the Mario Bros. before the actual battle, and uses the same racket during the battle to send back some of his fireballs intercepted by the Bros. hammers. He is also capable of utilizing poison and burn status effects as a deterrent against Bros. Attacks. In ''Hotel Mario'', he uses a bowling ball against them. In ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', he fires energy blasts at Mario that ricochet against obstacles, similar to Wendy's rings. He also used water geysers to his advantage in his battle in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. In ''Super Mario World'', Larry shares Iggy's tactics against the Mario Bros. by throwing balls at them that he keeps in his shell. However, he also raises the stakes by having Podoboos periodically jump up, and flings balls at a faster frequency than Iggy. In addition, Larry seems to have higher strength than an average person (though not superhuman), and he has superhuman durability, being dunked into lava and survived Mario destroying his castle while he was still in the lava in ''Super Mario World'', for example.

Sprites from ''Super Princess Peach'' relating to his planned appearance implied that he would have utilized his spin attack once again against Peach. Similarly, it would have been implied that his Vibe-state during what would have been the second half would have been "Calm."
