Ludwig von Koopa

Line 11:

'''Ludwig von Koopa''' (known as '''Kooky von Koopa''' in the cartoons) is the oldest member and presumed leader of the seven [[Koopalings]]. This group is closely loyal to [[Bowser]] and were originally depicted as his children, with Ludwig serving as his second-in-command and presumed heir to the Koopa throne. However, games released after the Koopalings' debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' usually downplayed or ignored the idea that they were Bowser's children, and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' later introduced [[Bowser Jr.]], who appeared to take on the role of Bowser's protégé and second-in-command. The Japanese version of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' confirmed that Junior ranked higher than Ludwig and the other Koopalings, and in a 2012 interview, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] stated that Nintendo's current story was that the Koopalings were not Bowser's children<ref>[http://www.screwattack.com/news/koopalings-are-not-related-bowser Screw Attack reports that "The koopalings are NOT related to Bowser!!!"] and provide a [http://www.screwattack.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/588/img021.jpg scan of a Game Informer interview with Shigeru Miyamoto].

Like the other Koopalings, not much of Ludwig's personality has been revealed, though it is known that he is highly intelligent and arrogant. The ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic revealed that he enjoys video games, and the English localization of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' stated that he likes to compose "Koopa Symphonies", ~~much like his namesake,~~ [[wikipedia:Ludwig van Beethoven|Ludwig van Beethoven]]~~, who may have also~~ been the inspiration for the Koopaling's hair design. In battle he displays feats such as making earthquakes and magic blasts, spitting fireballs, shooting lightning blasts from his hands, and the ability to teleport from place to place. Ludwig even has the ability to flutter jump like [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] or levitate.
