Morton reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where he is fought similarly to [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] in the predecessor. He is fought in {{world-link|4|castlen2|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}} and stomps his foot and growl at Mario, like he did in the previous game.

He is fought in {{world-link|4|castlen2|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}} and stomps his foot and growl at Mario, like he did in the previous game. In his battle, he creates [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s using his wand during the battle and use Ground Pounds to stun all players that are on the floor. Just like the other battles with the Koopalings the player has to jump on him to defeat him. Unlike the other Koopalings, because of the nature of his boss fight with Mario, he does not spend a limited amount of time in his shell upon being stomped, as he requires a pipe upon being stomped on to return to his position. After three stomps, Morton is defeated, leaving the key to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5]]. | ||
Morton survived the encounter, and rejoined his comrades at Bowser's castle, where they attempted to petrify Mario with their Koopa Clown Car's petrification device. He also aided Bowser alongside the rest of the Koopalings by causing him to grow larger, but it resulted in him and the others being knocked into a lava pit by Bowser due to his increased size. He and the other Koopalings survived, however, and attempted to help Bowser by airlifting him with the Koopa Clown Car, but this resulted in it crashing due to it being unable to handle the combined weight of both them and Bowser. Morton ended up on his back, also attempting to get himself back up but could not due to his large size. | Morton survived the encounter, and rejoined his comrades at Bowser's castle, where they attempted to petrify Mario with their Koopa Clown Car's petrification device.
