The Koopalings[w] are seven siblings who first appeared as boss characters in the 1988 game Super Mario Bros. 3.[63] Their individual names are Ludwig, Lemmy, Roy, Iggy, Wendy, Morton, and Larry.[63] The Koopalings were originally established as Bowser's children.[64][63][65][66] Older Mario games maintain reference to them as such in updated manuals and re-releases.[67][68] They have since been depicted as Bowser's minions in games following the release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii in 2009,[69]
