Larry Koopa

Larry Koopa (known as Cheatsy Koopa in the cartoons) is the youngest of the Koopalings, a clan of seven siblings that act as leaders of the Koopa Troop under Bowser, and who were originally considered to be his children. Like Ludwig, Larry has blue hair, albeit a lighter color and in a different style, resembling a cockscomb. In the Nintendo Power Super Mario World guide, Larry is referred as "Bowser's number one Koopaling".
A rumor that Larry was named after the American talk show host Larry King stems from the Official Nintendo Magazine in Great Britain. The former Nintendo of America employee Dayvv Brooks, who originally named the Koopalings, claimed instead that Larry was named after Larry Mullen, Jr., the drummer for the rock band U2. This would mean that all the Koopalings were named after musicians. However, Brooks contradicted this claim in a December 2015 interview, stating that Larry was not named after anyone in particular, and that he simply "looked like a Larry."
== Mortal Kombat: Shinnok's Uprising ==
It was mentioned by Aiko to Kung Lao that when she was younger, the Kombatants had allies from other realms, even though they were temporary due to the anomalies caused by the rips in Earthrealm's dimensional fabric. One of those incidences was when Bowser and the Koopalings were in peril by Shao Kahn and his extermination squads. Being that the Koopa King was overmatched, he allied with the heroes providing them with their assistance. Once Kahn regained his lost strength after the failed insurrection of Outworld, the younger Aiko was sent home and Bowser and his Koopalings were never seen again.
