Along with the other Koopalings, Ludwig appears in [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|the game's new side story]]. He is one of two Koopalings to not be fought, the other being Lemmy. In the beginning, as a test to see Bowser Jr.'s fighting abilities (largely due to Bowser Jr. deciding to just travel with a [[Mechakoopa]] over finding the actual ingredients for the [[blorbs]]), has [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], [[Captain Koopa]], [[Captain Boo]], and [[Captain Shy Guy (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Shy Guy]] fight Bowser Jr. At [[Dimble Wood]], he also grew suspicious that someone was watching him, and also had gnawing concerns that something bad was happening at Bowser's Castle, and departed the group to investigate. Because of this, he was one of only two Koopalings to have not left as a direct result of Bowser Jr.'s behavior (the only other being Morton Koopa Jr., who ended up brainwashed by the [[Best Fitness Friends|BFFs]]). Ludwig eventually managed to pose as [[Beef]] after tricking him with a decoy and then locking him in a storage room while crafting his disguise afterward, consequentially also learning key details about the BFF's plans, though he was forced to knock Iggy off a cliff to remain in-character in front of his "allies." He eventually reveals himself, with his admitting he deliberately used himself as bait to lure [[Kaley]] into a trap. In the ending, Ludwig and Bowser Jr. proceeded to pose with each other during the resulting festivities of the defeat of Fawful's forces.
Along with the other Koopalings, Ludwig appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', in the game's new side story ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey''. He is one of two Koopalings to not be fought, the other being Lemmy. In the beginning, as a test to see Bowser Jr.'s fighting abilities (largely due to Bowser Jr. deciding to just travel with a [[Mechakoopa]] over finding the actual ingredients for the [[blorbs]]), has [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], [[Captain Koopa]], [[Captain Boo]], and [[Captain Shy Guy (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Shy Guy]] fight Bowser Jr. After Bowser Jr. passes his tests, Ludwig and the rest of the Koopalings (besides Lemmy) go with to find the ingredients for Skeletone Formula:D. At [[Dimble Wood]], Ludwig grew suspicious that someone was watching him, and also had gnawing concerns that something bad was happening at Bowser's Castle, and departed the group to investigate, although he was also annoyed with Bowser Jr. not listening to him.
 
It is eventually implied that [[Beef]] had disposed of Ludwig, however Ludwig managed to pose as [[Beef]] after tricking him with a decoy and then locking him in a Bob-omb storage room while crafting his disguise afterward, consequentially also learning key details about the BFF's plans, though he was forced to help knock Iggy off a cliff to remain in-character in front of his "allies.", and silently felt remorseful for attacking Iggy. He eventually reveals himself, with his admitting he deliberately used himself as bait to lure [[Kaley]] into a trap. Ludwig apologises to Bowser Jr. for leaving his side, but becomes proud of him when he learns that he has started to mature and seeks to help the minions, at which point Ludwig rejoins Bowser Jr.'s side for the rest of the game.
 
As the team closes in on Bowser's Castle, they are ambushed by the Best Fitness Friends, now alongside the real Beef, which shocks Ludwig. Ludwig gets into a pose-off with [[Dieter]], although he along with Bowser Jr. then get badly beaten up by the group, who also threatened to throw Wendy into the lava. Luckily, the four flag captains come to the rescue and they help Ludwig and the others drive off the Best Fitness Friends.
 
In the ending, Ludwig and Bowser Jr. proceeded to pose with each other during the resulting festivities of the defeat of Fawful's forces.
