Talk:Lemmy Koopa

SHOULD we have a link to Lemmy's Land on this page? I don't think so...

Huh, you are right, fan sites do not belong on any page besides Links. Feel free to remove the link.

lemmy is very stupid The preceding unsigned comment was added by Silverado.

@Silverado, That's an irrelevant comment and highly immature. BulletBill 13:04, 7 November 2011 (EST)

...Great contribution. Lemmy's Land is a completely unofficial website, having no involvement with the people who actually work for Nintendo. So, no.
 * Dodoman

I for one love the Lemmy's Land site. You can see all kinds of good artwork, games, music, and stories made by Mario fans around the world. It even has a forum. It's good! You gotta admit it! If not, you ain't a good Nintendo fan. --The Game Prince

P.S.: I also use that as my name on Lemmy's Land.

I haven't anything against Lemmy's Land or the people who frequent it. (I used to frequent the site myself.) but most of the information featured on Lemmy's Land isn't truly canon to the Mario universe, and much of it is composed of fan fiction. So I don't really think we should provide a link. Lemmy Koopa617

Lemmy's Birthdate
Where did the information about his birthdate come from?

That's a good question, also since when were Lemmy or any of the other Koopalings officially given middle names?

 * Something's fishy...--


 * I don't know but I trusted that guy knew what he was typing. I'll remember that for when I have to revise another Koopaling page (I think I will have to.)

Some guy added middle names and DOB's on a couple of the Koopalings' pages, but I'm pretty sure that information is unofficial. For one thing, I've never heard that, and another, this Wiki's been around for four years now. I'm sure if that information was really officially given, someone would have already added that at this point (unless there was a leaked NSMBWii cutscene where they say "My name is Ludwig Mike von Koopa, and I was born on..." and so on, which I highly doubt), so I removed it. 20:17, 1 November 2009 (EST)

Toothless
Perhaps I am being a little nit picky, and I also am fully aware that his official artwork shows him without teeth. but something small I have just noticed about Lemmy's New Super Mario Bros. Wii battle is, sometimes when he conjures his beach balls with his magic wand it looks to me like he is gritting his teeth. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this. and if so should we change this, or should we wait till someone rips his textures from the game.

I actually think what you are seeing is his nails(claws) when he does that as his hand goes near his face. ? FD09

Oh you probably are correct then I just didn't see it, that would probably also explain as to why we can only see it from the left, (he seems to be right handed.)

"Lazy Eye"
Does he really have a lazy eye, or is it possible he's meant to have "crazy" eyes? Redstar 07:49, 1 December 2009 (EST)

Prince?
Where is it mentioned that Lemmy is a prince (this applies to the other male Koopalings too)? Please answer.
 * Bowser's a king, so logically Lemmy (and the other Koopalings) would be princes.
 * Oh. Forgot that Bowser's a king. Thanks.
 * And of course a princess in Wendy's case. ForeverDaisy09 ~08:10, 28 March 2010 (EDT)

Birth?
I have one question: How can Bowser have children if he does not have a wife?

How do Toads breed?How come the Koopa Clown car can support Bowsers weight?How does Bowswer change size in every game?Seriously nothing suprises me in he marioverse :/ ~by Kaialone

They can be adopted.

^^ I dont think theyre adopted,they look to much like him especially Morton (aside from color) Anyway fact IS it doesnt matter. ~by Kaialone

Possibly modified clones, or maybe versions of Baby Bowser abducted from the past. (Like, go back, kidnap self, go to future. Then go back six month earlier and kidnap self, repeat 7 times.... Toadbrigade5 (talk) 20:08, 18 May 2014 (EDT)

sprite
somebody needs to upload sprites of lemmy of new super mario bros. wii

You can't. New Super Mario Bros. Wii doesn't use sprites - it uses models. --Pyro TEH FEATURED? 17:25, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

Lemmy in Mario Anime?
Dude, Lemmy is nowhere to be found in The Mario Amada series. That should be removed. PS That was Iggy Koopa who appeared.
 * Huh, I re-watched them just now and you're right: he is missing. Weird. I'll go remove the section. - 18:57, 31 October 2012 (EDT)

Lemmy's rings in his shell
Does anyone know the actual color of the rings that surround the spikes in Lemmy's shell? I try to look closely at it(even his airship on 1080p HD) and I'm guessing it either has a light green color or yellow color. I'm not sure on its exact color. Smasher345
 * I'm pretty sure they're yellow. - 21:20, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Are you sure? Because they appear light green on his airship. Smasher345
 * Looked at it again, and yes, I am sure. If you look at this, the airship is clearly yellow; and in this art, the only greenish you get in the rings is because of reflection off the back of his head: the rings out in the open are yellow. Maybe it looks greenish in screenshots because the image is a bit unclear and if you dirty yellow with black or any other colour besides reddish hues, it starts to look greenish. Even being in the shade might make yellow look greenish, but in full lighting, it's still yellow. - 19:01, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Yeah I see it now, it definitely is yellow. I wanted to make sure because his airship in game has it appear in a light greenish color when it appears at the roof of the castle before entering the cannon (I was seeing this in on my clear 1080p HD TV). I think the resolution gives it that color. But the other images does clearly show it yellow so I'm guessing it is indeed yellow. Smasher345 20:01, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Misinformation?
It's been official stated that the Koopalings aren't Bowser's children so shouldn't the description for that picture from Mario is Missing saying "Lemmy and Wendy witnessing their father's capture of Mario." (and anything else related to the mention of Bowser being his and any other Koopaling's father) be edited? Touma101 (talk) 02:26, 23 February 2014 (EST)


 * No cause at the time, Bowser was their father. Anything prior to the interview should remain the same.
 * It's a retcon, and it's not like the caption information is important or anything, so we should remove it. 17:05, 27 June 2014 (EDT)

Placeholder Info
Like the other Koopalings, Lemmy's Super Mario World sprite gives him an appearance that substantially differs from his official artwork. In-game, the palette intended for the yellow Koopa Troopas is applied to him, even though the green Koopas' color palette would fit him more; because of his limited color palette, his hair is white. For unknown reasons, Lemmy is even depicted with two small fangs, when none of his other appearances depict him with teeth at all.

Lemmy was named after Lemmy Kilmister, the lead singer and bass guitarist of the English heavy metal band Motörhead.

He is noticeably even smaller than Bowser Jr..

Before battle, Lemmy taunts by striking a hand-stand, followed by performing a front-flip; all atop his ball.

Placing all this here because I'm going to use it later when I continue editing the article. Hope that's okay? UhHuhAlrightDaisy (talk) 23:40, 7 June 2014 (EDT)

Dad/Boss
I think that we should continue to describe Bowser as Lemmy's "dad" (now hear me out) for the games where this was the official story. For example, Mario is Missing!, the picture says Lemmy watches his "boss'" capture of Mario. At the time that this game came out, the official story was that Lemmy was Bowser's son. Therefore I think that we should still refer to him as such until New Super Mario Bros. Wii, when the official story changed. If this is agreed on, it should also be changed on the other Koopalings' pages. Peanutjon (talk) 11:23, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

No opinions, then? Peanutjon (talk) 20:36, 26 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Overlooked it. Anyway, it shouldn't be changed for Nintendo media. Nintendo retconned the Koopalings, so I think it's a appropriate to revise when needed. The Mario show still has the Koopalings refer to Bowser as "dad", so we document on it. Overall, though, the article should reflect Nintendo's statement and state exceptions when needed. 17:29, 27 June 2014 (EDT)
 * I... actually didn't understand most of that, but I'm guessing that you were saying that we should refer to it as "boss" because that is the current story... it did seem to imply that. If that is true...


 * We should probably change Peach and Galoomba's pages too, since they refer to the characters as "Toadstool" and "Goomba" in the games where that was the current story. Peanutjon (talk) 22:29, 27 June 2014 (EDT)


 * Nintendo only said their "current" story is that they're his kids iirc, and wiki policy is actually to use the terms appropriate for the release - ie. "Toadstool" for earlier games, and yes, familial terms for earlier Koopaling appearances. Granted, superfluous uses of "dad" could easily be replaced with "Bowser" to make things like captions neutral to avoid these situations, but systematically retconning all the old family appearances to employment is going too far. - 11:22, 28 June 2014 (EDT)

Weird bug in this article?
Either there's something wrong with my computer or it's this article. For some reason, the table for "Game appearances" section appears in "Names in other languages" section, and I can't seem to fix this. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 14:28, 20 December 2014 (EST)
 * It's because the table wasn't properly closed; because of that, it ended up migrating to the next table that did have a close tag, which happened to be the other languages table. Toad already fixed it.

Italics
For some reason most of the page is in italics. Even the blue words on top of all pages are italic. I looked and saw it happened after the most recent edit. -- 00:41, 2 February 2015 (EST)
 * Thanks, I fixed it - one of the header italics was left open by the last edit, causing the issue. - 15:14, 2 February 2015 (EST)

Only koopaling without colored irises?
isnt this false? ludwig and morton dont have colored irises either (unless you count the white as irises...) and we cant even see roys eyes, and, thoguh its pretty probable, we cant confirm the blue rings in iggys glasses are his irises either.
 * Regarding Morton and Ludwig, you can see the official artworks for New Super Mario Bros. U here:Morton and Ludwig. When you look at them at full resolution, you can see dark grey irises surrounding the pupils. Regarding Iggy, I think we can be sure that these blue rings are not the glasses' swirls typical of Japanese culture because artwork for Iggy in Super Mario World showed the actual swirls, while other artwork showed us that these swirls were not the way Iggy's eyes were depicted in that game. So I think it is safe to assume that these blue rings are not just swirls coming from the glasses. Only Roy is left, because as far as I know we don't have any artwork of him without sunglasses, however this doesn't mean that he has no irises.--Mister Wu (talk) 13:44, 12 August 2015 (EDT)

huh, never noticed that before, cool. no that doesnt mean he doesnt have irises, but it also doesnt mean he does, so we cant securely say lemmy is the only one without colored irises, since roy might, or might not, have colored irises either. the trivia could stay, but we should at least add that we cant be sure about roy.
 * Well, I now rephrased that part to be more specific, since as of now I don't think we have artwork of Roy without sunglasses.--Mister Wu (talk) 09:07, 13 August 2015 (EDT)

Here it is, I translated 玉乗り as walking on the ball even though I'm not 100% sure this is the right translation, also the SMMB bio translation needs to be checked in the last sentence. Of course corrections and suggestions are more than welcome!--Mister Wu (talk) 21:49, 14 December 2015 (EST)
 * Jisho.org translates 玉乗り as "balancing on a ball". I recommend using that site if you've got trouble with some words. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 09:05, 17 December 2015 (EST)
 * Thanks a lot for the tip and for the suggested translation! I updated the translations accordingly!--Mister Wu (talk) 11:05, 17 December 2015 (EST)
