He is arguably the most bizarre-looking of the children with his swirly glasses and rainbow hair. He is described as "demented" in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. |

− | + | In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' Bowser gave Iggy his own airship to invade Big Island. Iggy succeeds in stealing its king's magic wand, but he is forced to surrender it after battle with [[Mario]]. He is the game's fourth boss. | |
− | + | After Bowser conquers Dinosaur Land in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Iggy is given a fortress to rule [[Yoshi's Island]] from, and is also given one of [[Yoshi]]'s friends to guard. Iggy is the game's first boss. Iggy battles Mario atop an unstable island in a lake of lava. Iggy attacks by withdrawing into his shell and tossing fireballs. Yet Mario defeats Iggy by hopping on him or bombarding him with fireballs until he slides off the island and into the lava. After leaving the castle, Mario blows it up with dynamite. | |

− | + | When Bowser stole the twelve magic crystals of Jewelry Land during ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', Iggy took care of the White Crystal at the Grand Bridge and battled Mario and Yoshi in a giant Blooper robot. | |
− | + | After a long absence, the Koopalings returned when [[Cackletta|Bowletta]] called them into action to eliminate the Mario Brothers in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Iggy was the first of the Koopalings to challenge them. He twirled around the brothers to make them dizzy and watched them drunkenly stumble through an obstacle course towards him. The brothers endured their dizzy spells and survived the course. Iggy tried battling the brothers directly with fancy spins and fireballs, but he was no more successful then he was in his previous tries and met defeat once again. | |
− | + | Iggy returns in [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]] with a somewhat new look; he is now tall and lanky, his shell is a lighter shade of green, and he has a sprout of green hair rather than a multicolored mohawk. Along with the other Koopalings, he kidnaps Peach on her birthday and escapes aboard an airship. As the airship distances itself from Peach's Castle, Bowser Jr. drops the Koopalings off at fortresses along the way to slow down Mario and co. Iggy remains at the World 5 fortress; when Mario arrives, Iggy taunts him before attacking with a new magic wand across several moving platforms. After his loss, Iggy escapes to the World 5 castle and attacks the heroes with spells while they make their way through. When faced again at the end of the castle, Iggy is sitting in a cart attached to a Chain Chomp. [[Kamek]] arrives and uses magic to make the Chomp giant, which drags Iggy throughout the room. After his second loss, Iggy makes his way home on foot along with the other Koopalings. There they find Bowser defeated and help him back up, only to have Bowser's Castle fall on top of them. | |

*In the Super Mario Bros. movie, one of Bowser's bumbling minions is named Iggy, but only seems to be related to the game Iggy by name only. He is Bowser's cousin instead of his son and is paired with the dim-witted Spike. Although Iggy acts like the smarter of the duo, he fails just as frequently as his partner, and later in the movie they desert King Koopa to help Mario and Luigi after they are evolved by Koopa's machine and gain common sense as a result. | *In the Super Mario Bros. movie, one of Bowser's bumbling minions is named Iggy, but only seems to be related to the game Iggy by name only.
