Yes this article is long, not short. ~Black Ninjakoopa

Larry's blue star
For those who didn't notice it, here's a better view of it:

It includes all the Koopalings, but I noticed the blue star more than the other pictures. - Smashgoom202

That's his birthmark. If you look at Morton's left eye you'll see his star shaped birthmark too! User:The real yoshi

Namesake
I was reading Italian Wikpedia (for... some reason) and on Bowser's article, Larry's name is attributed to Larry Mullen. I checked out the article, and decided it's a plausible idea, since both Larry and Mullen have mohawks... sort of. Thoughts? 15:20, 14 November 2009 (EST)

I suppose it's possible. I'd like to think that he is named after Mullen (I'm a U2 fanatic), but it would probably be best to get some non-wiki references to provide some support for your claim. Other articles on this wiki claim that he's named after a talk show host, so a little more reasearch would be best if you want to prove this argument. 18:35, 4 April 2010 (EST)

According to The Official Nintendo Magazine, Larry King is the namesake; this is the source that the English Wikipedia cites, and the Italian (and Spanish) versions of the page now name Larry King as the inspiration. - 17:57, 8 January 2011 (EST)

Skill
Have any of you noticed that Larry Koopa made it all the way from Dark Land to Grass Land and sucessfully invaded the supposed base of Princess Peach? My Question is would that mean that Larry would be one of the stronger Koopalings? 11:54, 16 January 2011 (EST)
 * Maybe, but it's not actually that straightforward (just look at the map for SAMB3: the lands are not actually in a linear order; and other games have completely different maps, if any at all). We also don't really know how well Peach's "base" is guarded, and we shouldn't make assumptions on the matter: a more objective way to measure the Koopalings' skills is looking at how tough they are in battle. However, Larry has been both the first boss and the last boss, depending on the game, so we can't really say anything for certain. It's best just to write about the cold hard facts and let the readers make their own comparisons; thought questions and deductions like this are best left for the forums. - 16:18, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Background Connection?
I don't know if anyone else saw this, but I couldn't help but notice that in the Koopaling boss fights in NSMBU, some of the backgrounds hinted at the Koopalings' personalities (for example, Lemmy has a circus background, Wendy has ribbons and hearts, and Iggy has a machinery-type background). Well, Larry's background was adorned by maps and compasses. Would this somehow connect with his personality? KrazyKoopalings
 * Maybe. It's definitely worth mentioning the background on the article (in the NSMBU section), but trying to infer anything about his personality based on that would be a bit too speculative, I'm afraid. - 16:33, 18 June 2013 (EDT)

Voice
Is Larry using voice clips from Mario Kart 8 in Smash. I've watched gameplay of Smash 4 and I swear his voice cpips are from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.


 * It's possible. -- 21:07, 25 September 2014 (EDT)
