Ludwig von Koopa (Japanese ルドウィッグ Ludwig) is the main character of the side story Ludwig's Legend in Mario & Luigi Partners in Time + Ludwig's Legend. He travels through different parallel timelines to rescue his abducted siblings. He is also the first playable character in the game.
==Appearance==
Ludwig has a slightly modified appearance in Ludwig's Legend. He has the same blue shell and hair as his canon design. However, his hair no longer has a strict shape, being more flowing and free. In addition, the shade of his scales is now a deeper yellow similar to an olive skin tone, and his green head is darker in hue.
==Personality==
The Ludwig in this game is set apart from other depictions of the character by being much more serious. He is a lone wolf who doesn't like to rely on the other Koopalings for help. He is also the most intelligent of the seven, but has a cynical tone most of the time and doesn't express his emotions easily as a result.
==Abilities==
Ludwig starts the game Ludwig's Legend with the simple skills of hand-to-hand combat, breathing fire, and summoning magic bolts from his wand. As the player progresses, they unlock new skills for Ludwig to utilize in battle. These include a paralyzing ground pound, lightning magic, and psychic powers.
==History==
===Background===
In this timeline, Ludwig was forcibly separated from his parents when he was a baby. This event led to him resenting the Koopa Kingdom and trying to distance himself from it. None of the events from previous canon games (or Fantendo games) have happened, and his childhood is shrouded in mystery.
===In Ludwig's Legend===
Ludwig stumbles upon a Time Hole in Bowser's Castle that was corrupted due to Kamek's attempt to close it using a spell. When he steps into it, he discovers a new timeline where Bowser's Castle is destroyed. He meets Young Ludwig inside the ruins of the palace, and teams up with the infant after learning about the tragic fate of this timeline's Koopa Kingdom.
Ludwig utilizes the corrupted Time Hole in his timeline's Bowser's Castle to travel to parallel timelines and save his siblings, who were abducted by the Shroobs.
