[[File:NSMBW Iggy Artwork.jpg|thumb|Iggy Koopa's artwork for ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]

Unlike the tower battle, the castle version of Iggy's boss battle has some major differences. When Mario encounters him in this level, Iggy is in a carriage attached to an average-size [[Chain Chomp]]. Suddenly, the door closes behind Mario and [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] flies in, multiplying the Chain Chomp's size. The Chain Chomp travels on a track in the shape of a rectangle. Mario must go behind the Chain Chomp and attack Iggy, who still shoots fireballs from his wand. The boss room has [[Note Block|Jump Block]]s on the lower platform and [[Donut Block]]s on the upper platform. If Mario strikes Iggy, the Chain Chomp turns red, turns around, and starts moving fast for a short time. After Mario hits Iggy twice, the Chain Chomp becomes faster, giving Mario less time to react. After the third hit, Iggy is defeated, and Mario obtains the key to [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6]]. Because of the nature of his boss fight against Mario, he is the only Koopaling who doesn't tuck into his shell when stomped on. Instead, he collapses and is knocked out while flailing. He shoots fireballs faster in the tower battle than in the castle battle.

The ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' [[Prima Games]] guide mistakenly calls him [[Larry Koopa]].<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' Prima Official Game Guide. Pages 59 and 75.</ref>

[[File:NSMBU Iggy Castle Battle.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Mario and Luigi fighting Iggy Koopa]]

Iggy Koopa, along with the rest of the [[Koopalings]], [[Bowser Jr.]], and [[Boom Boom]], returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' / ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|its Nintendo Switch port]]. He serves as the boss of [[Soda Jungle]], similar to his role of being the boss of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', as well as [[Giant Land]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' as the world is also giant-themed. He is found in [[Iggy's Volcanic Castle]] (''New Super Mario Bros. U'') or [[Iggy's Swinging-Chains Castle]] (''New Super Luigi U''). Instead of riding in a carriage with a Chain Chomp like in the previous two games, the boss battle is different in this game. When Iggy is encountered, just like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', he fakes shock at Mario's arrival before laughing it off, but this time, Iggy summons lava from beneath the area instead of slapping his rear end. Iggy uses the four warp pipes to run around the room and on the ceiling to make it harder for the player to stomp on him as he uses his Magic Wand to shoot three fireballs, with some being his usual green flame, and the other being red skeleton orbs that generate [[Magmaargh]]s when they land into the lava below. When Iggy is stomped on, he will dash around the room in his shell using the pipes on the walls, which will switch him to the other side of the room. Unlike the other Koopalings where they spin in their shells and change directions at the edges or walls of the room, Iggy can actually change directions anywhere around the room during his duration in his shell. After 3 stomps, the lava below will drain out of the room, and Iggy will fall off screen, leaving his airship to be destroyed.

Iggy is later seen in the ending along with the other Koopalings, although they ended up escaping by hanging onto Bowser's tail after the latter inadvertently destroyed Bowser Jr's (already damaged) ship.

Iggy's airship has his face as the bow and his green-colored shell at the top. The stern is similarly colored to his original shell color. The airship is equipped with two propellers at the back, and there is another at the top just below the crow's nest. There is one cannon on each side, with purple lids on the top. It is metal-plated to carry lava. It is the thinnest and fastest airship, representing Iggy's speed and lankiness. The cabin has metallic walls. It has rectangular shaped windows, and has pipes on the floor and ceiling that Mario/Luigi and co. apparently can't access, but Iggy can.

In the ''[[Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.]]'', Iggy and the Koopalings appear in the series' first story, [[Wikipedia: Momotarō|Momotarō]], where they aid Bowser in kidnapping [[Princess Peach]]. The Koopalings also appear in the series' third story, once again as minions of Bowser (now the Wicked Queen). Iggy ends up beaten by Mario.

Iggy appeared in the interactive Anime adaptation of ''Super Mario World''. Like in the game, he was fought on Yoshi's Island. He had a horde of Koopa Troopas, Chargin' Chucks, and Rexes attack the Mario Bros., although they took them out. Iggy then sent in Monty Moles and Koopa Paratroopas, but Yoshi defeated them. Iggy then fled.

[[File:HopKoopa.jpg|left|thumb|Hop Koopa]]

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' produced by [[DIC Entertainment]] and [[Nintendo]], Iggy is renamed '''Hop Koopa''' and he, along with his twin, [[Lemmy Koopa#DIC cartoons|Hip Koopa]], are portrayed as among the youngest of the [[Koopalings#DIC cartoons|Koopa Kids]]. Hop resembles his game artwork more than all the other Koopa Kids, even though his two larger fangs are gone, the blue rings in the eyes are directly connected with the pupils, his cuffs lack spikes and the strands of the mohawk point toward different directions. Hop and Hip are constantly seen together, and the duo are constantly pulling pranks on unsuspecting citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. In spite of their ages, Hop and Hip prove to be capable of doing such things as carjacking and pickpocketing. Like many stereotypical twins, Hop and Hip often share their sentences by either speaking in unison or finishing each other's lines. Additionally, Hop is not portrayed as an inventor - that role goes to [[Ludwig von Koopa#DIC cartoons|Kooky]]. He is voiced by [[Tara Strong]] (formerly known as Tara Charendoff).

 

[[File:Misadventure Plumber.png|thumb|Iggy Koopa from "[[Misadventure of Mighty Plumber]]"]]

In [[Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario]], Hip and Hop kidnap [[Prince Mushroomkhamen]] from a pyramid in Desert Hill and narrowly escape from Luigi, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] after Queen Mushroomkhamen mistakes Mario for her son. After taking the tomb to Castle Koopa, Luigi takes it back from them with a [[steam powered mummy sled]]. Later, in [[Misadventure of Mighty Plumber]], Hip and Hop inform Bowser that [[Larry Koopa#DIC cartoons|Cheatsy]]'s wand can bring anything inside a television to life. After Cheatsy does this with a race car, Hip and Hop jump inside and ride it. During [[Do the Koopa]], Hop is seen dancing along with the other Koopalings during [[List of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 songs#Do the Koopa|the song]] of the same name. He and Hop are setting up a prank in [[Mush-Rumors]] by putting a mirror against a wall in hopes that a passerby would think it was a gate, and wonders if anyone is dumb enough to fall for it. Sure enough, a mushroom boy walks into the mirror. When the boy tells the twins of the "aliens" he saw, they run to [[Dark Land]] to warn their dad, and tell [[Roy Koopa#DIC cartoons|Bully]] when they (literally) run into him. While on the Doomsub in [[The Ugly Mermaid]], on the way to Metropolis, Hip and Hop warn King Koopa that the Mario Bros., Princess Toadstool and Toad are going after them in frog suits. Later on, when Koopa threatens to destroy Metropolis, Hip and Hop catch Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad chasing them again. Then, in [[Crimes R Us]], the Koopalings capture [[Crime Wave Clyde]] who teach Hip and Hop how to pick pockets. After the Koopas trick Clyde, Hop assists the rest of the Koopalings in robbing the [[Mushroom Kingdom Treasury]] until they are stopped by Clyde and the Mario Bros. In [[Life's Ruff]], Hip and Hop steal King Windbag's wand, and turn him and Luigi into dogs. The two dogs chase Hip and Hop into the real world where they disrupt a buffet at a hotel. Hip and Hop then steal a sports car after Luigi and Windbag are taken by a dog catcher. They drive over to the Kennedy Space Center where the dogs catch up to them once they escape from the pound. Just before they can board the shuttle, King Windbag tackles Hip and Hop, causing Hip to lose his wand. After King Windbag changes himself and Luigi back into humans, Luigi throws Hip and Hop in the [[Warp Zone]]. In [[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]], The Koopalings are assigned a continent of the Real World. Hop is given South America to conquer. He proceeds to take down the rainforest, replacing it with a vast parking lot. Mario takes Hop's wand and uses it to restore the rain forest. During [[Recycled Koopa]], Hop, along with Hip, [[Morton Koopa Jr.#DIC cartoons|Big Mouth]], Kootie Pie and Bully, dump all their garbage down a [[Warp Pipe]]. Unbeknownst to any of the Koopalings, the pipe led to [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]. Mario grabs a hold of Hip's wand, sending all the garbage back to Castle Koopa. This encouraged the Koopalings to order the [[Sledge Bro|Sledge Brothers]] to dump the trash down a Warp Pipe to [[Brooklyn]], which ultimately led to greater problems. In the series' last episode, [[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]], he, along with Kooky, Hip and Kootie Pie, Hop traveled to [[Paris]] once King Koopa had successfully captured Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool. While there, Hip and Hop vandalize the art in the Louvre and put their own crayon drawings to display.

In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', Iggy, unlike the other Koopalings, does not gain a hotel when the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] is taken over by Bowser. Instead, Iggy is located inside [[Bowser's Seizures Palace Hotel]], in [[Bowser's Barbecue Room]]. In his battle against Mario in ''Hotel Mario'', Iggy wears an over-sized Bowser mask and, along with jumping between floors, can spit [[fireball]]s and summon a small amount of lightning that can strike Mario. He is one of the three Koopalings who wouldn't try to eat Mario or Luigi (the other two being [[Lemmy Koopa]] and [[Wendy O. Koopa]]), which may be because he does not use elevators, or perhaps due to his mask. Iggy's Bowser mask needs to be jumped on repeatedly by Mario to keep him at bay. If Mario closes all the doors while Iggy is on-screen, he will stop and lift his disguise for a moment, revealing himself while making an irritated face towards the player, and then jump off-screen; the real Bowser awaits in the next area.

Iggy Koopa, alongside the rest of the Koopalings, appears as a playable character for the first time in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', where he is an unlockable character. This time, he is voiced by [[Ryan Higgins]]. His nickname in a Japanese Nintendo Direct for ''Mario Kart 8'' is ｢黒ぶちメガネのトリックスター」<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-I4diarSU0 "New Drivers!" in the Japanese Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] ''YouTube''.

{{quote2|So anyway, I'm Iggy! I'll be your frustratingly overpowered opponent today!|Iggy Koopa|Paper Mario: Color Splash}}

Unlike most paper characters, Iggy still has blue eyes with visible irises; for the first time since his redesign in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', he also has visible eyelids in this game, their color being white instead of green like in artwork for ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Strangely, when Iggy moves his eyes in this game, the blue rings don't move, but they are covered by the eyelids and completely disappear when Iggy closes his eyes.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a brief clip of Mario fighting Iggy Koopa in ''Super Mario World'' can be seen when [[F.L.U.D.D.]] first scans Mario.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Iggy Koopa appears as a playable skin along with the rest of the Koopalings.

[[File:Iggy colouring book.png|thumb|Iggy Koopa's current appearance in the ''[[Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]'']]

As most of the other Koopalings, Iggy has a yellow and tan skin complexion, as well as a green head, a four-ribbed plated belly and padded feet. Iggy also shows similar teeth to Morton's. Iggy has a lanky appearance and he seems to be about twice as tall as Mario. He also has light green hair with dark green fades at the points that resembles leaves of a pineapple. He wears large, black-framed glasses over his eyes with light blue rings that disappear when he closes his eyes, thus suggesting that they are his irises.<ref>NintenU (May 12, 2015). [https://youtu.be/2546S5hmrlo Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition All Bosses]. ''YouYube''. Retrieved October 7, 2015.</ref> Artwork made for ''[[Super Mario World]]'' also depicts his eyes as eccentric swirls to indicate that the glasses he wears have very thick lenses, which is a common gag in Japanese media that Iggy shares with [[Professor E. Gadd]], [[Professor Frankly]], [[Fawful]], and [[Francis]]. Furthermore, in the same game, he is shown to have eyelids<ref>{{media link|Mario fighting Iggy SMW art.jpg|Artwork of Iggy Koopa in ''Super Mario World''.}}</ref> that return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. His shell has a lime-green hue matching the color of his hair and features purple rings around the spikes, which are beige-colored. As well as his distinctive glasses, he wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other Koopalings.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Iggy's in-game sprites depict him with white hair (orange-yellow in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s ''All-Stars'' remake) and a blue shell, most likely to differentiate his sprites from those of Larry (who is also depicted with white hair, but still has a green shell) while simultaneously respecting the technical limitations of the NES and SNES; however, in his official artwork for both games, Iggy is still shown wearing his green shell. Furthermore, in his ''Super Mario World'' boss battle, he uses Larry's hairstyle despite his own style existing in the game's graphics ; he, however, uses his correct hair style in the cast roll.

Although previously known for his intelligence as well as how much he studied and knew,<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/QXBH2wp.jpg Page 40 of the ''Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encycloepdia''].</ref> with the ''Nintendo Adventure Books'' confirming this trait by portraying him as an inventor considered by Bowser ''the brainy one'', Iggy is now more often known and portrayed as well in Japanese material for his own frivolous personality,<ref name="NSMBWbio"/><ref>On page 15 of the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'' Iggy is described as 「クッパ七人衆のひとり。性格はちよっとお調子者。」 which translates to ''One of the Koopalings. He is a little bit frivolous.''</ref><ref name="SSB4"/> reported in the English localization of certain games, as well as official English guides, as if he was insane by using terms like ''demented'' and ''crazed''.<ref>''Super Mario World'' (1994)<br />''"Mario has defeated the demented Iggy Koopa in castle #1 and rescued Yoshi's friend who is still trapped in an egg. Together, they now travel to Donut Land."''</ref><ref>''Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World'' (2002)<br />''"Mario and Luigi have defeated the crazed Iggy Koopa in castle #1 and rescued Yoshi's friend, who is still trapped in an egg. Now, they travel together to Donut Land."''</ref><ref>The Mario Kart 8 Official Strategy Guide section ''The Races and Rides - The Unlockables'' states ''The crazed mechanical Koopaling genius returns with his brothers and sister! Iggy’s solidly in the Medium weight class, and is good a match for Mario and Luigi.'' Also note the ''mechanical genius'' part, possibly referencing the ''Nintendo Adventure Books''.</ref> This trait is manifested both through his enthusiasm sometimes ending up in hyperactivity as well as by his typical happy facial expressions, shown since his artwork in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', accompanied by very frequent laughters. Regardless of his frivolous nature, however, he has shown some degree of common sense, as he was notably the first Koopaling to speculate that the reason minions randomly attacked them in ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' was because they had been brainwashed by Fawful, and ultimately turned out to be correct about that. He also is indicated to have a short temper, as one of his specials in ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' has him getting angry and slamming his Koopa Clown Car on an enemy while wreathed in flames, and then making clear he was still angry. On a similar note, in ''Bowser Jr. Journey'', he is also shown to be extremely protective of Bowser Jr., although not quite to the extent of Morton Koopa, Jr., as the aforementioned special has him demanding to know in anger who harmed Bowser Jr. with Bowser Jr. pointing to the enemies before conducting the aforementioned special move on the target.

''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' shows Iggy in a calmer fashion, not nearly as frivolous as he was, but now also quite childish in personality when together with [[Lemmy Koopa]]. However, in the opening for Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser, an alternate story mode for the remake for ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', his more demented nature is implied by his continuing to laugh, even when learning that the Koopa Cruiser was about to blow in contrast to Roy and Wendy's shocked reactions to the news.
