|Lemmy Koopa is depicted as a small, fun-loving child who wields the green magic wand and he is cute. Has been shown capable of being serious when the situation calls for it. His main color representation is orange. Although in ''Super Mario World'', his shell was colored yellow and his hair was white, and his shell was originally green and he lacked the ponytail. He is named after the late {{wp|Lemmy|Lemmy Kilmister}}, frontman of the English heavy metal band {{wp|Motörhead}}. He was also known as "Hip" in the cartoons and is the twin brother of Hop (Iggy); together, they are among the youngest members of the family. Lemmy is usually depicted as perhaps the least bright Koopaling, but is also the most genuinely innocent of his siblings.

The first appearance of the seven Koopalings was in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' where they are the main bosses of the first seven worlds of the game. Here, the Koopalings were ordered by Bowser to use their [[airship]]s and armies to conquer the various lands of the [[Mushroom World]]. Each Koopaling, after attacking a kingdom, stole the ruler's [[magic wand]] and transformed that ruler into an animal of some kind (or in the case of [[Pipe Land|Pipe Land's]] ruler in the NES version, a plant).<ref>Depending on the version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Koopalings will transform the respective rulers into a dog, a spider/silkworm, a {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}, a tyrannosaur, a vulture, a seal, or a [[Fire Piranha Plant]] (NES version) or [[Cobrat]], [[Hoopster]], a purple [[Dino Rhino]], a [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] look-alike, an [[Albatoss]], a [[Monty Mole]], and a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] (SNES and GBA remakes).</ref>

[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] battle a Koopaling every time they travel through a heavily-guarded airship. The battle against the Koopalings consists mostly of dodging the Koopalings' leaps and magical blasts from their stolen wand. It takes three stomps on the head or nine fireballs in order to defeat a Koopaling. Unlike Bowser, they are immune to hammers. Once defeated, that Koopaling retreats into their shell, flies away and drops their magic wand. After Mario or Luigi picks it up, the airship vanishes and that world's king is restored.
