'''Roy Koopa''' (known as '''Bully Koopa''' in the cartoons) is one of the [[Koopalings]], a clan of seven siblings<ref>[http://newsupermariobrosu.nintendo.com/characters/#/koopalings As explained on the Koopalings' profile on the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' official site], as well as [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Larry's ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' trophy]].</ref> that act as leaders of the [[Koopa Troop]] under [[Bowser]] ([[Koopalings#Family relationship|originally considered his children]]). From what has been revealed about Roy's personality, he is more brawn than brains, preferring brute force over thinking things through, although he is usually seen as more intelligent than [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]]. Despite this gruff, tough-guy demeanor, Roy originally wore a magenta shell. He now wears a purple shell with magenta rings around his spikes to give him a more distinct appearance from his siblings. Roy also wears hot magenta sunglasses similar to his namesake, the rock and roll musician {{wp|Roy Orbison}}.

==History==

===DIC cartoons===

In the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoons produced by [[Nintendo]] and [[DIC Entertainment]], Roy Koopa is renamed '''Bully Koopa'''. As his name would imply, Bully constantly pummels and pulls cruel pranks on friend and foe alike. Bully seems to have less screen time than most of the [[Koopalings#DIC cartoons|Koopa Kids]], with the exception of [[Lemmy Koopa#DIC cartoonss|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa#DIC cartoons|Hop]]. However, he did have a major role in "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]", "[[Do the Koopa]]", "[[Recycled Koopa]]", "[[Crimes R Us]]", and "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]". He is also seen having supporting roles in "[[Mush-Rumors]]" and "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]". "The Yoshi Shuffle" is Bully's last animation appearance. He is given a heavy [[Brooklyn]] accent in the DiC cartoons, and unlike in the video games, the character wears a spiked collar, has two spikes on his tail but only one spike in the center of his shell, his mouth is rounded instead of feline-shaped, his fingers are more slender than before and he is regarded as the oldest and tallest Koopa Kid. Bully is voiced by [[Dan Hennessey]].

Like the other Koopalings, he is actually driving a mass-produced version of the Junior Clown Car (as noted by the yellow light bulbs that serve as its eyes). The rim and propeller of his Junior Clown Car are colored red (his signature color). He also reuses his voice clips from his appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', thus he is voiced by Dan Falcone.

Roy shares his name with [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee#Roy|Roy from ''Fire Emblem'']], making them the only playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have the same name.

Shooting red paint causes Mario to get [[Rage (status effect)|angry]] and attack faster; conversely, green paint causes Mario to [[Unmotivated|lose motivation]] and gives more time for action commands. Orange paint causes Mario to feel [[Self-conscious|self-conscious]] and only use pre-painted cards. Purple paint causes Mario to get [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]] and take damage before an attack. Yellow paint causes the music to change to an upbeat rhythm and Mario starts [[Rhythm|dancing]], and is not able to use blue cards; inversely, blue paint causes Mario to feel [[Blue (status effect)|blue]] and only use blue-colored cards. The background music changes depending on the status effect; an arrangement of the [[Toad Shuffle]] music plays for yellow paint and sad music plays for blue paint. The green paint effect slows down the music and red paint speeds it up. The music does not change for the purple and orange paint status effects.

After Roy has used all the paint colors or Mario has damaged him enough, he gets bored and mixes all the paint in his Bill Blaster to create [[black paint]]. He shoots the paint all across the cell, and the music changes to a creepy tune. During this time, Roy is nearly invisible and all of Mario's attacks will miss. If Mario uses the Washing Machine Thing, he cleans up the whole cell and destroys Roy's Bill Blaster. If a Replica is used, the start of the Washing Machine animation plays but then goes in reverse, negating the effects.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJae0y5BzhQ</ref> Roy can also attack by punching and jumping on Mario. After the battle, Mario gets his stolen 1-UP Mushroom cards back and Roy surrenders before he decides to take a nap.
