Background
In Super Mario Bros. 3, Lemmy received an airship for the invasion of the Mushroom World, which he used to attack the Iced Land and steal their king's magic wand, wielding it in battle after using it to transform the king into a creature (a seal in the original version and a Monty Mole in the advanced remakes). In battle, he was unique in that he battled with a giant circus ball that he balanced himself upon and occasionally tossed at Mario or Luigi. However, he was still defeated in battle and forced to surrender the wand.
Lemmy was then part of the invasion on Dinosaur Land in Super Mario World, where he was the third boss in charge of the Vanilla Dome, holding a friend of Yoshi's captive. In this game, he would pop out of one of a series of Warp Pipes in a room at random along with a decoy, while a fireball bounced around the room. Mario or Luigi had to stomp on the real Lemmy three times to knock him through the pipe and into the lava below, defeating him. When Bowser stole the twelve magic crystals of Jewelry Land during Yoshi's Safari, Lemmy was put in charge of the Red Crystal at the Grassland. Lemmy fought Mario and Yoshi within mechanical armor. After the machine was destroyed, Lemmy tried hiding behind a shield, but he still got beaten.
After a long absence, the Koopalings returned when Bowletta called them into action to eliminate the Mario Brothers in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. Lemmy is the third Koopaling to battle the brothers, and this time he unveils a new trick, as he creates flawless dopplegangers of himself (which are actually Goombas in disguise). Once more he meets defeat at the brothers' hands.
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Lemmy returns with an orange shell and a ponytail. The collective Koopalings kidnap Peach on her birthday and escape for their home in an airship. Along the way, Bowser Jr. drops the Koopalings off at fortresses to slow down Mario and co., with Lemmy being left at the World 3 fortress. When Mario arrives, Lemmy shows off his acrobatics on his circus ball before attacking with a new magic wand that creates duplicates of the ball. Lemmy is defeated, but escapes to the World 3 castle for a rematch. This time he receives help from Kamek, who enchants his ball to make it giant. Lemmy loses again and heads home on foot along with the other Koopalings, where they find a fallen Bowser. They help him up, only to have Bowser's Castle fall on top of them.
Other Appearances
Video Games
- Lemmy and the other Koopalings are featured as bosses in the licensed game Hotel Mario.

- Lemmy also appeared with his siblings in the Super Mario Adventures comic, where they aided Bowser in another of his schemes and usually appeared as a group rather than being battled individually.
