Larry Koopa (known as Cheatsy Koopa in the cartoons) is one of the seven canonical Koopalings, and the youngest of them all. According to Mario Kart 8 promotional material and his Super Smash Bros. 4 trophy, Larry is the leader of the Koopalings.
Appearance
In general
Larry has a blue mohawk and a typical Koopa-like body. He has a Bowser-like snout and mouth and his mouth has sharp teeth in it (originally 4, now 2). He has small nostrils and a blue shell with spikes on it. He has always had a yellowish body color, and blue eyes.
1988 - 2008
During this time period, Larry had a darker shade of blue for his hair color and four teeth. Two of the teeth were big, whilst the other two were small.
2009 - Current
Larry now lost his two smaller teeth, and his hair is a lighter shade of blue. His now has a star-shaped marking on the side of his head, and his green rings around the spikes on his shell. He is also a more yellowish color, instead of a light brown color.
Personality
Larry, hence his cartoon name, is a cheater. He seems to cheat to win battles, and is therefore seen as a hard-to-defeat character in certain games. He is a bit of an arrogant and easily-angered person, considering the fact that he throws tantrums in all New Super Mario Bros. games when he finds out the player got to his lair.
However, Larry must have a good sense of leadership, considering the fact that he is now the leader of the Koopalings.

Larry Koopa reappeared along with the rest of the Koopalings in Super Mario and the Glowing Diamond. He's in charge of World 7: Cloud Castle Courtyard. In battle, Larry would toss balls, similar to Iggy Koopa, but he may toss more of them in a row. To make matters worse, Podoboos will be jumping in the left, right and middle. Otherwise, the battle is the same. After Larry Koopa is defeated, the key to World 8: Bowser's Volcano will be revealed.
Lets-a-go, Mario
Larry Koopa reappears in Lets-a-go, Mario as a boss in the Nostalgic Area with the other 6 Koopalings. He can breathe fire, throw balls out of his shell, and use a spin attack that makes him invincible. He is also invincible to thrown projectiles, as he will hit it with his tennis racket.

Larry appears, once again, as a boss in Mario: World of Art. He is the second boss in the game, in Orange Opals. In his fight, Larry will jump around whole shooting magic bolts from his sceptre. In the second phase of fight, he will jump on to an eel and will fight Mario while riding it. The secret to fighting it is to shoot fireballs into the eel's mouth via the Fire Flower, which will spawn randomly from the sides of the arena, and to jump on him while the eel is distracted. He holds the Orange Color Chrome.

Larry Koopa reappears in Newer Super Mario Bros U. He's charge the world 4: Banana Beach, thus he'll be the fourth Koopaling to be fought. In battle, he's going to use a new weapon, a magic tennis racket. Thanks to this magic tennis racket, he'll throw some urchins to the player. As every times, 3 hits to the heads are enough to beat this boss. After 2 hits, he'll start launching giant urchins.
Unlike the other Koopalings, he will have a submarine, rather than a airship. This submarine is however airship-shaped, with Larry's face on the bow, just like to his airship in NSMBU and the other Koopalings' airship in the same game and in Newer SMBU.

Super Mario World Fusion: Part 1
Larry Koopa is the twelfth Koopaling to be fought. Before battling him, he'll get shocked and jump up and down in rage, similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In the battle, he casts light-blue fireballs from his scepter, spits fireballs, jumps, body slams (from his cancelled Super Princess Peach appearance) and spins around the room. Avoid the blue fireballs he casts, the fireballs he spits, his body slam and his spinning. When he is done with these attacks or failed to land after body slamming, jump on his head. This'll cause him to retreat into his shell, spinning around the room. After this, he'll get out of his shell. Repeat this 4 more times.
Super Mario 3D Overload
Larry is the second boss in Super Mario 3D Overload as the boss in Orange Desert. He charges at you. But when you jump on him, he gets angry and jumps. If you are on the ground, you get stunned. After you jump on him 3 times, he flees and leaves the orange rainbow shard.
New Super Mario World
Larry Koopa returns in this game, serving as the Cotton Candy Clouds's boss, thus the seventh Koopaling to be fought, unlike his previous appareances in the New Super Mario Bros. series, and like in Super Mario World. In this game, he guards the seventh castle, on the highest part of the sky, #7 Larry's Electric Castle. He'll drive a sky blue Sky Pop, with two small cannons on each wing and a giant cannon just under the Sky Pop. Larry will shoot Bullett Bills and Bull's Eye-Bills with the small cannons. The giant cannons will occasionally shoot a Banzai Bill, but this latter action will be very uncommon. Larry will also shoot some Fireballs. Normal Sky Pop bulletts won't harm this boss. Sometimes, a giant bullet contained in a bubble will pop out on the screen. The player(s) will have to get it and hit the giant cannon while it's about to shoot. This will cause a malfunction and the cannon will explode, damaging Larry. After being hit, Larry will start moving very fast and shooting many Bullett Bills.
Unlike the other Koopalings, who will be fought indoor, he will be fought outdoor, in the night-time sky, wich will be full of clouds.
This is the first time that Larry is the seventh Koopaling to be fought since Super Mario World.
