Larry Koopa (known as Cheatsy Koopa in the cartoons) is one of the seven canonical Koopalings, and the second youngest of them all. According to Mario Kart 8 promotional material and his Super Smash Bros. 4 trophy, Larry likes Bowser jr.
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 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 loving, considering the fact that he is likes Bowser jr.

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.
