Ludwig von Koopa is one of the Koopalings. He is the oldest out of the canon seven and the second oldest of Bowser's twenty-six sons.
Occupation[]

Ludwig was Bowser's second in command until Bowser Jr. was born.
Personality[]
Ludwig is considered the most intellectual and intelligent of all of the original Koopalings. Back in 2012 when he was 15, he was a mad scientist who had the nickname Kooky. Today, at age 25, he is known to enjoy composing what he calls "Koopa Symphonies" and being mean. He prefers being around Bowser Jr., thinking he is very cute but also believing he's in his way because Bowser likes him a little more, and frequents around Roy. However, it is rumored that he had once developed a gruesome grudge towards Junior, stated in the Super Mario Madness instruction booklet. He is also mean to Alex Ember Koopa, but not always. Ludwig is often showcased as self centered and arrogant. He'll often betray the other Koopalings to save himself. He is also often seen reading, being quite fond of that and other quieter activities. Despite this selfish and standoffish attitude, he still secretly cares deeply for his siblings.
Appearance[]
Like most of the Koopalings, he has a spiked shell, yellow scales, and the ability to breathe fire. What sets him apart is his wild blue hair and his overbite, which is a single fang in the center of his upper lip.

Ludwig's sprite in Lets-a-go, Mario
Ludwig Von Koopa reappears along with the other 6 Koopalings as the bosses of the Nostalgia Area in Lets-a-go, Mario. Like in New Super Mario Bros. 2, he has three chains on his ceiling. Like the others, he can breathe fire. He will occasionally jump near but not on the player as a fake-out. Sometimes, he will do a very high jump, followed by a flutter jump. Ludwig will flutter over the player, and after a while, he will do one of three things. He can either attempt to ground pound on to the player, teleport back to the ground, or stay in the air and create two duplicates of himself - similar to New Super Mario Bros. U. The three proceed to spit fire at the player. Like in that game, the real one will spit three fireballs, and the duplicates are either darker and lighter. If he creates duplicates, he will spawn three Rocket Pipes for the player to attack Ludwig. If the other two are destroyed first, the real one will laugh mockingly and do a huge ground pound. This creates several shockwaves which must be jumped over. His personal minions are Sledge Bros., Bony Beetles, and Climbing Koopa Troopas.
He reappears with the other 6 Koopalings in HURRY UP! in the last part of the stage, again as a boss. He is the last Koopaling to fall off of the Koopa Clown Car. There, he attacks by creating a pair of duplicates, who simultaneously fire pairs of magic blasts at the player while the real one fires three blasts. Like his brothers and sister, he falls off after he is hit by one of his own projectiles after it was reflected by Tornado Mario.

The clones will remain until jumped on. Not only that, he can breathe fire that homes towards the player. He spends most of the time far above ground, meaning that Wario and Waluigi need to fly up using one of the special orbs that come. Once they have jumped on the real Ludwig's head, he'll get into his shell and ram around the arena three times before he gets out again. Hit him twice more to defeat him.
He rebattles you after you finish the first half of stage 8, this time in a mech. He can fire multiple fire balls, jump around, and destroy platforms.

He's fought at the end of the snow-themed world, the Sweet Glacier. He'll act just like to NSMBU, but there will be some differences. There will be cold lava under the battleground, and the some of the rays Ludwig will launch (only the light blue ones) may cause the cold lava to rise. There will be 3 platforms wich will float on the cold lava. Since Ludwig, unlike in NSMBU, will never land, the only way to hit him will be to wait until he launches a light bue ray, that will cause the lava, and the platforms that floats on it by extension, to rise.
His room will resemble an opera theatre, somewhat based on La Scala theatre on Milan.
This is the first time he isn't the last Koopaling to be fought since SMW.
