Koopalings
The , (also known as in Japan and Europe, or in Japan), are a group of seven fictional, childlike characters in the ''Mario'' video game franchise by Nintendo. Their individual names are Iggy, Larry, Lemmy, Ludwig, Morton, Roy, and Wendy. Originally depicted as the children of the series antagonist Bowser, they first appeared as boss characters in the 1988 game ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They have since appeared in subsequent ''Super Mario'' games and spin-off ''Mario'' titles.
They have made several appearances in other media, most notably in the cartoon ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', which featured entirely different names for the Koopalings due to them not having official names at the time of its production phase.
==Concept and creation==
The Koopalings were conceived by various game designers who were challenged to come up with new bosses for ''Super Mario Bros. 3''; the favorite drawings loosely based on members of the design team were chosen for the seven Koopalings. Most of the Koopalings are distinguished by their wild punk hairstyles. Though they were not originally given individual names, the localizers at Nintendo of America gave them names based on musicians and celebrities. Iggy's name comes from Iggy Pop; Morton's name comes from Morton Downey, Jr., while the star-shaped mark on his eye resembles KISS guitarist Paul Stanley's makeup; Lemmy's name comes from Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead; Ludwig's name and hairstyle comes from Ludwig van Beethoven; Roy's name comes from Roy Orbison, as do his horn-rimmed glasses; Wendy's name comes from Wendy O. Williams; but while many sources claim Larry was named after the American talk show host Larry King, his name actually comes from U2 drummer Larry Mullen, Jr.〔As explained by Dayv Brooks (former Nintendo of America employee), on July 18, 2012.〕 Nintendo of Japan has adopted the use of the Koopalings' first names starting with ''Super Mario World''. However, the Koopalings received a set of different names in the DiC-made ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' animated series, as they were still unnamed when the show was in production.
The Koopalings were originally created to be Bowser's children, as it was mentioned in Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction books as well as early materials. This portrayal was generally accepted by both Japanese and western gamers and media for a long time. This has confused the fans about whether the Koopalings are part of the family or not, although series creator Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed that this is currently not the case. According to the North American website for ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', the Koopalings are also siblings.
