Like his young siblings [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]] and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], Ludwig could create small tremors whenever he slammed the ground. |

− | + | In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' he invaded the Pipe Maze kingdom in an airship and stole their king's magic wand. He could not use it for much malevolence (aside from turning the king into a [[Piranha Plant]]) before the Mario Brothers came and stopped him. | |
− | + | During ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Bowser conquered Dino Land, and Ludwig got his own fortress atop Cookie Mountain along with a friend of [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] to hold captive. Ludwig hopped and blasted fireballs at his intruders like his father before him, and there was no axe at the end of the bridge this time. [[Mario]] managed to conquer Ludwig with a few good old-fashioned bounces on the head. | |
− | + | When Bowser stole the twelve magic crystals of Jewelry Land during ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', Ludwig was given the Green Crystal to watch over in Mushroom Land. There he piloted what looked like a giant mechanical [[Spiny]]. This was trashed by Mario and Yoshi, however. | |
− | |||
− | + | After a long absence, the Koopalings returned when [[Cackletta|Bowletta]] called them into action to eliminate the Mario Brothers in ''[[Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Ludwig was fourth in line to take on the brothers. Ludwig only battles them if they successfully leap over his shell as he slides around the room in it. He was defeated in the ensuing battle. | |
− | + | Ludwig and the other Koopalings return for [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]], where he now has a blue shell. He and the others kidnap Peach on her birthday and escape in an airship. While returning to their kingdom, Bowser Jr. drops the Koopalings off at fortresses along the way to slow down Mario and co. Ludwig remains at the World 7 fortress; he chuckles to himself when Mario arrives, then attacks with homing spells from a new magic wand and by fluttering overhead (though he lacks his paralyzing stomp). Upon losing, he escapes to the World 7 castle. [[Kamek]] aids Ludwig during his second fight by creating three small platforms that ascend the castle's tower. After his second defeat, Ludwig returns home on foot along with the other Koopalings. There they discover a fallen Bowser and help him back up, after which Bowser's Castle falls on top of them. | |
