In the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' manual and materials related to the game, Roy speaks in {{wp|Kansai dialect}}, which the later games seem to have omitted in favor of him speaking in slang. The American medium shows him as a typical bully who usually beats people up for his own amusement (hence the alternate name Bully). This character trait also carries over to ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', where he is shown to enjoy bullying the lower-ranked soldiers of the Koopa Troop. In most appearances, he is nonetheless depicted as preferring brawn and aggression over his brains, but he is usually summarized as pretty quick-witted and more intelligent compared to Morton. In anger when encountering them in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', he roars at the player to go with his attitude. In addition, his usage of a [[Bill Blaster]] in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games suggests that he likes using firearms as well. Roy outright says that "books are dumb" in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', and like his brother [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], one of Roy's stunts in ''Mario Kart 8'' has him showing off his muscles. He also says that the reason why he's not fond of Bowser Jr. emulating his father’s selfish and rude behavior in ''Bowser Jr.’s Journey'' was because he doesn’t like anyone other than himself being that way. That game as well as ''Bowser’s Minions'' indicate that Roy can be a patronizing hypocrite. In the ''New Super Mario U'' adaptation for the gag manga ''Super Mario Kun'', Roy is indicated to be very vulgar, as he, when encountering the Mario Bros., proceeded to bend over and fart directly in Ludwig and Iggy's faces. | In the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' manual and materials related to the game, Roy speaks in {{wp|Kansai dialect}}, which the later games seem to have omitted in favor of him speaking in slang.

Despite his tendencies towards relying on strength, Roy shows some degree of planning capability at times. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', he specifically notes that he has a [[Time Bob-omb|time bomb]] present to deter the Mario Bros. from beating him easily. Similarly, in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' he shows some degree of common sense, acknowledging the possibility of Bowser being abducted due to Bowser being somewhat naïve, and after being restored to normal from brainwashing, he also warns [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] that the [[Elite Trio]] had set a time bomb on the Koopa Cruiser | Despite his tendencies towards relying on strength, Roy shows some degree of planning capability at times.

In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', he tells Mario that he started going to night school because ''knowledge is power'', and steals Mario's color and using it as ammo for his paint launcher before eventually blacking out the arena with black paint; Huey in particular yells that there were "treaties" against the former. His trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' also hints that he is pretty quick to act as a soldier when the situation calls for it. | ||
As indicated by his use of Mario's paint in ''Color Splash'', much of Roy's planning ability exhibits itself through dirty tactics, established as early as his appearance in the book [[Leaping Lizards]]. In both ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and its remake in particular, he initially appears to run from Mario and Luigi, with the next section of Bowser's Castle unlocking as usual, only to ambush the Mario Bros. as they proceed. However, even his love of fighting dirty has its limitations; in the remake, while brainwashed earlier in the story, Roy seems to disapprove of Fawful's plan to have the then-brainwashed Elite Trio set up the aforementioned time bomb, calling it "cowardly." His bio in ''Super Mario Pia'' also implies that his scoundrel behavior is an act. | As indicated by his use of Mario's paint in ''Color Splash'', much of Roy's planning ability exhibits itself through dirty tactics, established as early as his appearance in the book [[Leaping Lizards]].
