Larry Koopa is a brick-built Super Mario Minifigure released in 2021. It is based on the Nintendo character of the same name who first debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3 in 1988.
== Description ==
Like the Koopa Troopa, Larry is a blocky, bipedal turtle with a large shell on his back. His head is green and he has a blue mohawk for a headpiece.
== Background ==
He was the director of the Koopa Troop: Bowser’s most beloved minions. Larry was based on an unspecified Super Mario Bros. 3 designer.https://www.angelfire.com/games5/makzelda/interviews/miyamotomariomania.html He did not yet have a name in Japanese, so for the English localisation Larry’s name was given by Nintendo product analyst Dayvv Brooks, who claims that he called him such because ‘he just looked like a Larry.’https://kotaku.com/how-a-mario-character-was-named-after-motorheads-lemmy-1750180427
