Larry Koopa

Larry Koopa (also known as Cheatsy Koopa) is one of Bowser's eight children, and is the youngest of the seven Koopalings. As proved by Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Larry loves to play tennis and has blue hair like Ludwig Von Koopa. He originally had four visible fangs on the top corners of both sides of his mouth, however in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, he only has two.

Super Mario Bros. 3
In Larry's first appearance, Super Mario Bros. 3, he was the first Koopaling to be battled. He had stolen the magic wand from the king of Grass Land and turned him into an animal. After Mario had gone through all of the airship's cannons, he battled Larry in his cabin. In this battle, Larry would jump around and shoot magic blasts from his stolen magic wand. He would need to be jumped on three times to be deafeted he is then forced to make a quick retreat. Mario got back the wand, and the king was returned to normal, and thanked him for returning him to his original state. Larry also has white hair instead of blue.

Super Mario World
Larry's second appearance was in the last world of Super Mario World, the Valley of Bowser. In battle, he utilized his brother Iggy's attack pattern. He would sit on top of a tilting platform on top of lava and was immune to all of Mario's attacks. However, unlike Iggy, Larry's platform had three Lava Bubbles that jumped up and down. He could also throw more than one ball at one time. Larry would need to be jumped on until he fell off his platform after this he reatreats. After the battle, Mario kicked away his castle (literally), and gained access to Bowser's Castle.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Larry makes his 3D-rendering-debut in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, alongside the rest of his siblings. Larry has been revealed to be the boss of World 1, which is reminiscent of Super Mario Bros. 3 in this appearance he seems to have lost two of his fangs. Additionally, he has a blue shell similar to the color of his hair. His second battle (in his castle) is in a room that shifts up and down made by Kamek.After this fight he will quickly jump away droping the key to the desert where his older brother roy is

Mario is Missing
Larry is the first boss in the PC version, where it takes a single blast from a Fire Flower to defeat him. In the NES, Luigi must jump on his head five times to beat the Koopaling. Larry does not appear in the SNES version of Mario is Missing!he also escapes here

Yoshi's Safari
In Yoshi's Safari, Larry is the boss of Crescent Coast. Larry rides in a sun-like submarine that has a purple face and has a blue nose. Mario had to shoot at the nose to get it to open up and expose Larry. He will then zoom around the screen while Mario continued to shot at it. Eventually the submarine will break and Larry will whole a white flag while he floats up to the surface.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World cartoons, he was named Cheatsy Koopa and was usually scheming up Bowser's latest plan, sometimes in conjunction with Kooky. A very common animation goof regarding Cheatsy was that his green head was often colored orange, the same color as the rest of his body. One particular shot in the episode "The Beauty of Kootie" even had his head mistakenly colored purple.

Super Mario World
In the Super Mario World series, Cheatsy's hair was changed to a lighter green color and drawn a tad thicker, most likely to resemble his appearance in the game.

There are several physical differences between Larry and Cheatsy: Larry's hair is pointed upwards but Cheatsy's hair was flatter and much more untamed; Cheatsy was almost always seen squinting and was given an overbite. He appears the most of all the Koopalings. Cheatsy was voiced by James Rankin. Additionally, in the continuity of the cartoons, Hip and Hop were the youngest Koopalings, not Cheatsy.

Nintendo Comics System
Larry often appeared in Nintendo Comics System comics, published by Valiant. Unlike his siblings and his father, he didn't speak English (whether he was unable to or didn't by choice was not revealed). Instead, he spoke in pictures, which was only understood by Lemmy.

Hotel Mario
The last appearance of Larry for several years was in the obscure Hotel Mario. He was found and battled in Larry's Chillton Hotel with the words "Larry's Cave Hotel" and "This mine is mine" written on the entrance. In battle, Larry would attack by using bombs as bowling balls. Like the previous battles, he was eventually defeated.then his hotel exploaded as proved in super star saga he escaped

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
After several years of absence, Larry reappeared in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga after his older sister Wendy was defeated. Before battle, Larry would trap Luigi in a barrel and shoot fireballs at him. To engage Luigi would need to stand in front of the Bob-omb to bounce them back, who would bounce them back with his tennis racket and would need to be hit with it. In battle, he would shoot fireballs and bounce them back with his tennis racket. He is also aided with a Time Bob-omb. In the end, he was defeated and once again disappeared. but after the fight he escapes some time before the castle drops in a whirl pool

Super Paper Mario
Surprisingly, Larry is mentioned in Super Paper Mario as the star of a game on Francis's "To get list": Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker. It is presumably a horror/survival/romance themed game.

Personality
Like the other Koopalings, not much of Larry's personality has been revealed. He seems to have an interest in sports, as he uses bombs as bowling balls in Hotel Mario, and he uses a tennis racket to counter his fireballs in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Despite these facts, he has never appeared in any of the sport games.

In The Adventures of the Super Mario Bros. 3 and the Super Mario World animated series, Larry was known as Cheatsy Koopa and he was given a personality to match his name, as he was sneaky and unfair not to mention devious. for example, he attempts to double-cross Bowser in his attempt to obtain the Mushroom Kingdom from Princess Peach in "Never Koop a Koopa", and he eavesdrops on a conversation between Mario and Yoshi in "The Yoshi Shuffle". It is also shown that he enjoys listening to music, as shown in the episode "Never Koop a Koopa", where he is ignoring his father's lecture and listening to music on a set of headphones.he is also seen to be into horror as seen in hotel mario the room you fight him in is called larry's scary room and his hotel is very dark he is also shown to be greedy in hotel mario it said on this mine is mine his hotel.He also might love plants due to him taking over grass land in smb3 he also might enjoy animals and more nature

Physical Appearance
When it comes to size, Larry is one of the smaller of his siblings, although nowhere as small as his older brother Lemmy. Larry can easily be recognized by his trademark hair, which is a large, blue mohawk, which unlike Lemmy's seems to be combed back. He also sports four fangs (with two on each side of his mouth), a green head and a green shell. Along with Wendy, his eyes are blue. As shown in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, he has gained a slight make-over; He has lost two of his smaller fangs and his shell is now light blue. He also has a blue birth mark on the side of his head, which is shaped like a star.

In The Adventures of the Super Mario Bros. 3, Larry was known as Cheatsy and looked quite different altogether; Cheatsy's blue mohawk looked messier, he had two fangs, his mouth resembled a beak and his eyes were very squinty. He stayed the same in the cartoon version of Super Mario World, except that his mohawk was changed from blue to light green.

Bio from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Writers Bible
''He loves to tie people up and then challenge them to a foot race. In reform school, he copied so many test papers, he got writer's claw. His hobby is counterfeiting Gold Coins, and he does such a great job of it, that Koopa has put him in charge of the Kastle Koopa treasury, where he happily spends every day cheating his brother and sister Koopalings on their allowances. When Koopa wants to be sneaky and devious, he calls on Cheatsy.''
