The Koopalings debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and they later appeared as bosses in various [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]]-era games of the ''Super Mario'' franchise before going on a long hiatus, reappearing once in 2003's ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and then being redesigned for 2009's ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', which has since been followed by numerous appearances as both bosses in the platformers of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] and playable characters in various spinoffs. They have also appeared in various other media, including the cartoon ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', which featured entirely different names for the characters due to them not having official names at the time of its production phase.
