Ludwig von Koopa, alongside the rest of the Koopalings, appears as a playable character for the first time in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', where he is an unlockable character. This time, he is voiced by [[David Goldfarb]] who gives Ludwig a higher pitched voice instead of [[Mike Vaughn]]. His nickname in a Japanese Nintendo Direct for ''Mario Kart 8'' is 「目立ちたがりの悪役ヒーロー」<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-I4diarSU0 "New Drivers!" in the Japanese Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref>, or "Showoff Villain-Hero" (localized as the "Conductor of Chaos"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flpfRzP2ONU "New Challengers" in the European Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube. (Retrieved May 2, 2014)</ref> or "Showy Anti-Hero"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ "New Challengers" in the North American Nintendo Direct, April 30, 2014.] YouTube.

Ludwig is a middleweight racer, giving him relatively balanced attributes for most of his stats. He is used for the Staff Ghost for [[Piranha Plant Slide|<small>3DS</small> Piranha Plant Slide]], making it a reference to Ludwig being the boss of [[Pipe Land]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Ludwig also has a business which appears as a sponsor in this game called [[Ludwig Painting]].
