AppearancesEdit

Super Mario Bros. 3Edit

Ludwig first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. He is the oldest Koopaling and second in command. Ludwig took over the Pipe Maze. His rule was firm until Mario fought his way on his airship and fought him. Ludwig attacked by using wand blasts and creating a stunning earthquake attack. This made him the hardest Koopaling, but it took only 3 hits on the head or several fireballs to defeat him. Ludwig gave up his wand and left to an unknown place.

Super Mario WorldEdit

After Bowser takes control over Dinosaur Land, Ludwig and his siblings (minus Larry) were granted a land. Ludwig recieved Twin Bridges, residing in Castle #4 while composing Koopa Symphonies. Also he captured a Yoshi egg in the process. However, Mario and his new friend Yoshi came to rescue the egg. Mario fought Ludwig in his castle, where Ludwig proved to have a different attack pattern then his siblings. He fought by spitting fireballs, spinning in his shell and jumping a distance. Though Ludwig was defeated, also his castle rocketed into a nearby bush where it hit it, the bush got bandage for the spot it was hit.

Yoshi's SafariEdit

When his younger brother, Iggy, invented some mechs, Ludwig got one. The Koopa Family stole the 12 gems of Jewelry Land, Ludwig recieved one. Ludwig was forced to fight for it when Mario and Yoshi arrived with the Super Scope. Ludwig fought in a giant turtle mech, where after they shot a purple button on his back it'll explode leaving two feat. Ludwig came back in a smaller mech with arms. Though the arms and mech was destoryed after multiple shots. After his mech was destroyed Ludwig gave up the gem.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar SagaEdit

After many years, Bowser Jr becomes second in command. Presumably, the Koopalings after their multiple failures to get rid of Mario and Luigi, were demoted to only guard the castle and act like minions. Having no more use for failures, Bowser thought it was the only thing they were good at. However when Cackletta posessed the tryant and went to his air castle as Bowletta, she found the Koopalings. Founding them useful to fight, she hypnotized them into re-fighting the Mario Bros. Ludwig was the fourth to be fought and he attacked by re-using the spinning in his shell and spitting fireballs. Ludwig was once again defeated and what happened to him and his siblings after their defeat is unknown.

New Super Mario Bros. WiiEdit

After years of being unused, Ludwig and his siblings reappeared as kids game. The Koopalings and Bowser Jr. kidnapped Princess Peach once again. Ludwig was once again the last Koopaling to be fought as he is the boss of the Sky Level, World 7. Ludwig fought Mario and co. by using homing magic fireballs and using the never-before seen ability to Flutter Jump. Though this was a failure as he was too injured from the fight and retreated to his castle. Ludwig fought again on rising platforms, casting four magic fireballs, and the Flutter Jump. This battleground was useful though couldn't stop Mario's gang as he was once again defeated and fell on screen. Ludwig survived though, as he is seen helping Bowser up at World 8, though insult-to-injury the castle falls on the Koopa Family.

Non-Canon appearancesEdit

Mario is MissingEdit

When Bowser traveled to Earth to flood Antartica, he brought The Koopalings (minus Morton) to help. When Bowser also maneged to capture Mario he sent several of his kids to fight Luigi, so he wouldn't interfere. Ludwig was one of them. In the SNES version Ludwig, when Luigi came to fight, wouldn't attack but just run around. It only took 6 hits of the head to beat him. In the PC Version, he dosen't do this only talks to Luigi until he gets a Fire Flower to destory the Beethoven with it.

Hotel MarioEdit

In this hotel game, Bowser tooky over the Mushroom Kingdom and gave several hotels to his kids. Ludwig's Thump Hotel was one of them. Ludwig, again, also faced Mario in it as well. Fighting by using lightning and teleporting. These new abilities were very powerful but in the end was taken out by Mario. The plumber then destroyed the Hotel.

Super Princess PeachEdit

Originally, Ludwig and his team were going to appear in this game, though were only used in the beta version. Ludwig spirites showed him he could laugh, spit fire, sping in his shell and jump. Though nothing else is known.
