Wendy O. Koopa

Wendy O. Koopa is Bowserâ€™s only daughter and, as such, the only female Koopaling. Although she wears a big pink bow, she is as dangerous as her brothers (if not more so).

Games
In Super Mario Bros. 3, Wendy occupies the kingdom of Sea Side, an island world, and is the third boss of the game. When Mario challenges Wendy, she attacks by throwing deadly candy bracelets at the hero.

In Super Mario World, Wendy becomes the sixth boss of the game. In this game, she controls Chocolate Island. When Mario attacks her castle, he has to fight both the real Wendy and two Wendy dummies used to trick the plumber.

In Yoshi's Safari, Wendy takes over Pipe Island.

Other Appearances
Wendy O. Koopa also appears as a minor character in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Wendy, and the six other original Koopalings, are in Bowser's Castle when Bowletta orders the massive vessel to attack the Beanbean Kingdom. Thinking Bowletta is actually Bowser, the Koopalings agree to aid in the invasion by guarding the castle. When Mario fights Wendy, he must dodge her candy bracelets for a second time.

Cartoons and Comics
In the Super Mario cartoons, Wendyâ€™s name was changed to Kootie Pie Koopa. She was supposedly sixteen years old and constantly whines about everything; as such, some of Bowserâ€™s schemes were created to appease his only daughter. Physically, Kootie Pie looks very similar to Wendy. The major differences are that Kootie Pieâ€™s bow is pointy and she has two fangs sticking out of her mouth. Kootie Pie also has a small bow on her tail.

Wendy also appears in the Mario comics, in the story â€œFins and Rosesâ€. In the comic, Wendy is setting a trap when Stanley the Talking Fish appears. Stanley starts to flirt with Wendy, and receives one of her bombs, thinking it is a gift. In fact, Wendy wanted to destroy Stanley â€œto make the world a better placeâ€. Ultimately, Wendy does not destroy Mario or Stanley. However, Mario and Wendy call a truce so they can say mean things about Stanley.

Wendy O. Koopa is also a major character in the Super Mario Adventure comics created by Nintendo Power. In fact, Wendy has a larger role in the story than all of her brothers, and even has her own tower (the only Koopaling with a fortress in the comics). During the events of the comics, Peach gets kidnapped and is held in Wendyâ€™s tower. Wendy and Peach constantly match wits, forming a rivalry. In the end, Peach escapes by threatening to destroy Wendyâ€™s favorite dress. Ultimately, Wendyâ€™s tower gets blown up by Mario and Peach (albeit accidentally).

Trivia
Wendy O. Koopaâ€™s name comes from Wendy O. Williams, the lead singer from the punk band the Plasmatics.
