 A [[List of rumors and urban legends#Larry Koopa's namesake|rumor]] that Larry was named after the American talk show host {{wp|Larry King}} stems from the Official Nintendo Magazine in {{wp|Great Britain}}.<ref>Scullion, Chris (April 30, 2010).

However, Brooks contradicted this claim in a December 2015 interview, stating that Larry was not named after anyone in particular, and that he simply "looked like a Larry."<ref>Klepek, Patrick (December 29, 2015).

 [[File:NSMBU Larry Castle Battle.png|thumb|left|upright=1.2|Mario facing Larry in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]
-Larry reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]], alongside the rest of the [[Koopalings]], [[Boom Boom]], [[Kamek|Magikoopa]], and [[Bowser Jr.]]. He is the boss of [[Sparkling Waters]], and is battled in [[Larry's Torpedo Castle]] (''New Super Mario Bros. U'') and [[Larry's Trigger-Happy Castle]] (''New Super Luigi U''). His battle strategy is to blast fireballs and use water blasts from the pool below the arena, which act like the pillars from his previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' battles. When Larry is spinning in his shell, the water geysers give his shell a boost upwards, making it a bit difficult to avoid. After two stomps, Larry starts to cast two fireballs in quick succession. In addition, he is one of only three Koopalings to retain the use of a [[magic wand]], the others being Iggy and Ludwig. When the player reaches his airship at the end of Sparkling Waters' Castle, he emits a mocking laugh. However, when Mario actually boards his airship, Larry will once again get into one of his rages. Three hits to his head will make him fall off-screen.

 Despite this, Larry survives, and is later picked up along with the rest of the Koopalings by Bowser Jr., although they end up escaping by hanging onto Bowser's tail after the latter inadvertently destroyed Bowser Jr's (already damaged) ship.
