Ludwig, along with the rest of the Koopalings, [[Bowser Jr.]], and [[Bowser]], appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and serves as the final Koopaling boss to be fought, specifically in the world [[Meringue Clouds]]. He once again turns and snickers before battling Mario. His boss battle, like [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy's]] and [[Larry Koopa|Larry's]], involves him using his magic wand, and like [[Roy Koopa]], his battle takes place in the crow's nest.

In battle he levitates in the air while making two clones of himself, and all three Ludwigs will blast fireballs at Mario before dropping onto the ground. If one of the clones is jumped on, it will simply disappear. There are four ways to find out which is the real one. The one that is the real one fires three fireballs, while the clones fire two. The clones keep their eyes half-open, and tend to assume the real Ludwig's pre-battle idle pose while not levitating. The real Ludwig will also drop to the ground last, after the clones, as well as laugh while dropping. Finally, Mario always looks at the real Ludwig if he can see him directly, just as he does with the other bosses. When the fight starts off, after shooting their fireballs, the clones disappear before landing. After the first stomp, the clones don't disappear, making it a little harder on which is the real Ludwig. After the second stomp, not only do all three Ludwigs shoot faster, but swap positions, but the real Ludwig still shoot three fireballs. After being stomped on three times, Ludwig falls out of the crow's nest and off screen, and his airship is destroyed by Mario. He is last seen hanging from Bowser's tail along with the other Koopalings as they all fly away on Bowser Jr.' heavily damaged airship at the conclusion of the game.

Ludwig has his own personalized airship, with his face as the bow, and his blue-colored shell at the top. The stern of his ship has a green color design, similar to his former shell color from past appearances. Like most of the airships, Ludwig's airship is equipped with a propeller at the back of his ship as well as another one placed just beneath the crow's nest. The airship is equipped with two cannons, one on each side. There are also orange lids on top of the cannons used for closing and opening the cannons. The airship has a unique feature. The hull is rimmed with green, and there is a balcony-like platform at the base of its mast. Like Roy, the interior of Ludwig's ship is unknown since the player never gets the chance to enter the cabin and instead fights Ludwig at the crow's nest.
