Making their debut in the evergreen classic Super Mario Bros. 3 for NES, the Koopa Kids are a bunch of minions serving at the pleasure of Bowser. Originally believed to be the children of Mario's nemesis, their exact relation to the King of the Koopas is a little hazy these days, with Bowser Jr. being Bowser's only confirmed offspring.
You've no doubt bopped them on the head, raced them and even built Mario courses with them thanks to their inclusion in the final update for Super Mario Maker 2, but can you name them all?
Let's find out with our little quiz...

To be honest... the last one is a troll. 7/8 though
8/8. What an unnecessary knowledge I had.
My son got all 8. I am really proud!
8/8 Their character looks are all very unique so it was pretty easy. I almost got Lemmy and Larry mixed up though 😂
8 out of 8 here!
6-8: BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Even Bowser would be proud of you!
Lemmy and Larry caught me. And also the last one.
7/8. I got Iggy and Larry mixed up. Easy quiz overall though.
Yeah this quiz is super easy. Would've been more fun if you made the quiz about who the Koopalings were named after! Probably would not have gotten all questions right if you did that.
There should have been questions about their names from the cartoon series. Supposedly when the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon was being made, the Koopalings didn't have official names yet, so the cartoon producers had to make them up for the cartoon.
That's how they got the names Cheatsy (Larry), Bully (Roy), Big Mouth (Morton), Kootie-Pie (Wendy), Kooky Von Koopa (Ludwig), Hip (Lemmy) and Hop (Iggy).
6/8, not bad since I have trouble beating World 2-1 in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Bowser Jr is the only Koopa kid I've ever cared about... especially with Princess Peach being his mom and all 😜
I got 7 of 8. I didn't know Larry was the youngest.
8/8. I got lucky on the last one - I figured, he's the boss of SMB3 World 1, so he's probably the youngest.
Also, I didn't know the history on the names of these characters. Thanks, NL! (That would've made for a very devious quiz.)
This was an easy one
Well that was an easy 8/8
The last one got me. 7/8 ain’t bad for a cast of characters I barely know.
Got all 8! The youngest one isn't who you would think it would be...
Easy 8, plus Bowser is the father and Peach is the mother
The only one of these I’ve got 100 percent on. Took me about a second on half of them and the last one I guess and got right lol.
I love the Koopalings but some of the musicians would have sued Nintendo if they acted like Nintendo!
7/8. My gut said Larry was the youngest but for some reason I said Wendy. Ah well.
Well since no one else is admitting to a bad score I'll go first: 4/8 and I'm fine with that
7/8
I think I've heard that Ludwig is the oldest, but I don't remember hearing about a youngest. You'd think it would be the smallest one.
My all of the above highschool rule has failed me...
20 times.
8/8
Although the last one was a guess between same age and Larry.
8 out of 8 yes!! Doing fine!
8/8 though I kind of guessed for the last one. They appear to be of different age visually and the correct one just looked younger than the other options.
@Venus_Adept Same here XD. I always confuse Lemmy and Larry, and for the last one, I though it was the first.
I prepared my entire life for this moment... 8/8!
No questions about the DIC cartoon canon?
(not sure where they picked their names from)
Should have been 8/8 but was 7/8 because I misclicked for Larry.
Poor Larry. Should have gone with The Edge Koopa.
I thought that Bowser Jr. was the youngest...
@KingMike The Japanese game didn't have names for the Koopalings and I presume DIC started making the cartoon before Nintendo of America gave them official names and the names stuck. I'd have preferred DIC to have switched to the official names once they were known but oh well.
@the4seer Bowser Jr. isn't a Koopaling though.
@Bass_X0 Oh... Didn't know that
8-8... Embarasing I know this, but get mixed with some Europe country capitals
7/8, I didn't know about the Koopalings' ages
I could've sworn it was Lemmy who was the youngest. Ah well.
8/8, but I guessed on the last one
8/8. Almost half due to luck for Iggy, Larry, and Lemmy
8/8 Finally, a quiz even I can get a perfect score on!
7/8 ain’t half bad at all.
Should do a poll asking for everyone's favorite Koopaling. Here's my ranking:
1. Ludwig
2. Larry
3. Roy
4. Iggy
5. Morton
6. Wendy
7. Lemmy
6 out of 8.........I did guess Lemmy for everyone that had tall hair.........of course he was the last one.
I didn't think I'd do that well.......I've defeated them all enough but never paid much attention.......But my boys are big fans and use them a lot on Smash so maybe their knowledge is rubbing off on me
Why did they have to give my boy Lemmy a rat tail? He was my favorite koopaling and they did him like this
I had only ever known their cartoon names so I failed this test lol... I never pay attention to their videogame names cause they don't roll with me.
I was expecting this to be difficult not mind numbingly easy
5/8, Lemmy, larry, and iggy are too similar for me I guess.
Finally got a perfect score for once
8/8. I have no idea how I remembered that last one.
7/8 I didn't know the last one :c
@Bass_X0 Apparently at least the manual for the Super Famicom Mini version of Super Mario World did name the Koopa Kids, but they are the same as the English names.
The Famicom Mini SMB3 manual doesn't name them.
(the manuals for the Mini games are/were able to be downloaded from Nintendo of Japan's site. Generally just scans of the original releases. Though I've heard the original SFC manual for SMW was a fold-out poster-like manual rather than the normal booklet manual for the west. I do however, have the Mini scan for Panel de Pon as well as an actual CIB copy of PdP with a similar fold-out manual, and can confirm for that game they edited the fold-out content to a booklet format PDF for the Mini.)
I guess the question is if the physical JP SMW manual had names. Or did they just inherit the western names (JP SMW would have released nine months after US SMB3.)?
Only 5 right this time!
My 4 year old got a 6 out of 8. Probably helps we read a chapter of the Super Mario Adventures comic before bed.
8/8. Spent so much time looking at that Super Mario World manual in the day that I can't forget.
@Dualmask Same. Luckily I guessed right this time.
8/8, I thought Lemmy was the youngest for some reason but he wasn’t a choice, then I remembered it was Larry.
for a sec i thought this quiz would go more in depth to their cartoon history and game roles and appearances lol
No problem with the koopalings. 8/8. On the other hand, if you ask me about baby bowser, bowser jr or koopa kid, I still get confused with them.
8 out of 8, apparently I know them better than I thought. Someone at Nintendo must have been a big music fan.
7/8 - Tripped up on that last one but the rest of the quiz was pretty easy.
I actually don't know much about them but l got them all right!? Ty bowser for being proud of me xD
6/8 confused Larry and Iggy and didn't know who's youngest.
8/8 I guessed Larry was youngest based on how he looks.
8/8 easy quiz. I knew Larry was the youngest but I can't remember where I read it. I remember reading something about him being the favorite and the baby of the group, so Bowser gave him World 7 in Mario World, so he got to be closer to Bowser.
I thought there'd be more of a challenge to this. Like asking us to remember which koopaling traditionally wields which weapon, or the order in which they appear in the games.
Or some real crazy curve balls like who said what in certain cartoon episodes. ^_^;;
Nice 8 out of 8, in regards to Bowser Jr, I thought that he was just a young version of Bowser himself, see Mario & Luigi Partners in Time
Not exactly sure where I read it, but I think SMB3's bosses are presented in order of age. So from youngest to oldest, it'd go Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig. This might be confirmed in that Mario 30th Anniversary book, maybe...?
Damn, got Lemmy for Larry and the last one wrong. Thought it was Cootie Pie (Wendy) Oh, well. Good enough for me
Oh yeah, 8/8. Sadly I've known this since their inception, which tells my age lol. I didn't know who Larry (my fav) was named after though, so I got something out of it.
@Jayofmaya That was the Super Mario Bros Super Show name you were thinking of
@BabyYoshi12 World 2 in New Super Mario bros wii is the hardest of them all because it goes from easy levels to mean ones.
I will ALWAYS recognize the Koopalings as Bowser's children. I remember on the cartoon show, they were his actual children. Miyamoto might as well cave in and just make them Bower's kids. I got a 7/8 btw. Last question got me.
@MeloMan Yeah, it popped up on Netflix the other day so put it on for my son, he's only 2 and a half so likes most cartoons. Good old bit of nostalgia. The one where the surfer describes Toad as a weird little guy with a funny hat is good xD
I only had the last one wrong. I thought they were ageless.
