The Koopalings, also known as Bowser's Minions or Koopa Kids, are a recurring group of seven characters in the Super Mario series, serving as Bowser's underlings and often portrayed as siblings. The seven members are Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 as bosses in each world, and have continued to be featured as bosses in various Mario games, as well as playable characters in some spin-offs. While they were initially depicted as Bowser's children, Nintendo has since clarified that they are not related to him by blood, but are instead his minions. Their designs were inspired by the Super Mario Bros. 3 development team, and they were named after musicians. Each has unique appearances and personalities. They frequently act as level bosses, challenging Mario's adventures, with their unique battle styles.
