He stole the king's magic wand and used it to turn the king into an animal (a dinosaur in the original game or a [[Donkey Kong Jr.]]-like ape in remakes). Iggy acted as the game's fourth boss, but he was defeated, and the wand was returned to its rightful ruler. |
− | After Bowser conquered Dinosaur Land in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Iggy was given a fortress to rule [[Yoshi's Island]] from, and was also given one of [[Yoshi]]'s friends to guard.

Mario | + | After Bowser conquered Dinosaur Land in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Iggy was given a fortress to rule [[Yoshi's Island]] from, and was also given one of [[Yoshi]]'s friends to guard. Iggy acted as the game's first boss and battled Mario atop an unstable island in a lake of lava. Iggy attacked by withdrawing into his shell and tossing fireballs. Mario defeated Iggy by hopping on him or bombarding him with fireballs until he slid off the island and into the lava. After leaving the castle, Mario blew it up with dynamite. Iggy appeared again in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', where he guarded the White Crystal (one of twelve magic crystals of [[Jewelry Land]] stolen by Bowser) at the Grand Bridge. He acted as the sixth boss, battling 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 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 returned in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' with a new look; he has now become tall and lanky, and his shell is a lighter shade of green. His new design also features a sprout of green hair rather than the original multicolored mohawk. Along with the other Koopalings, he kidnapped Peach on her birthday and escaped aboard an airship. As the airship distanced itself from Peach's Castle, Bowser Jr. dropped the Koopalings off at fortresses along the way to slow down Mario and co. Iggy remained at the World 5 fortress; when Mario arrived, Iggy taunts him before attacking with a new magic wand across several moving platforms. After his loss, Iggy escaped to the World 5 castle and attacked the heroes with spells while they made their way through. When faced again at the end of the castle, Iggy was sitting in a cart attached to a [[Chain Chomp]]. [[Kamek]] arrived and used magic to make the Chomp into a giant that dragged Iggy throughout the room. He still managed to shoot blasts from his magic wand, but he was once again defeated. After his second loss, Iggy made his way home on foot along with the other Koopalings. There they found Bowser defeated and helped him back up, only to have Bowser's Castle fall on top of them. | |

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the Koopalings worked together to kidnap Princess Peach and took turns holding onto her. Iggy was the boss of the second world's castle, where he once more worked with a Chain Chomp. This time, he rode in a platform that was pulled by a normal-sized Chain Chomp. He was still defeated, and the key to the next world was unlocked through his downfall. The Koopalings turned up again at Bowser's castle in World 6, where they attempted to petrify Mario with a light emitted by the Koopa Clown Car and also used their magic to make Bowser gigantic after his first defeat. After the giant Bowser was defeated, the Koopalings attempted to tow him away with the Clown Car, only to accidentally crash it.. The Koopalings made a final appearance in World Star's castle, where they once more attempted to petrify Mario and made Dry Bowser grow. | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the Koopalings worked together to kidnap Princess Peach and took turns holding onto her.

*Iggy and the rest of the Koopalings appeared as bosses in the licensed games ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' (in the Super NES and PC versions only) and ''[[Nintendo Games on Philips CD-i#Hotel Mario|Hotel Mario]]''. In the latter game he was a boss in Bowser's Seizure Palace Hotel rather than having his own hotel, and he attacked by shooting fireballs and lightning while wearing a Bowser mask. He could be defeated after knocking the Bowser mask off, at which point he would summon the real Bowser. | *Iggy and the rest of the Koopalings appeared as bosses in the licensed games ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'' (in the Super NES and PC versions only) and ''[[Nintendo Games on Philips CD-i#Hotel Mario|Hotel Mario]]''.
