Like the other Koopalings, Ludwig has yellow and tan skin and a green head. He also has a four-ribbed, plated belly and padded feet, wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other male Koopalings and he is average in height, being taller than Lemmy, Larry and Wendy but shorter than Roy, Iggy and Morton.

Ludwig's shortest modern appearance is in the ''[[Mario & Sonic]]'' series, and his tallest is in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. His facial features are defined, having shaped cheeks, a high nose, a low jaw, and deeply curved lips with a complete set of teeth as revealed by ''Super Mario Adventure Game Picture Book 2: Mario and Baby Yoshi'' (「スーパーマリｵぼうけんゲームえほん 2 マリオとチビヨッシー」)<ref>{{media link|SMAGPB2 Yoshi Squishing Ludwig.png|A red, yellow and blue Baby Yoshi growing into adults, squishing Ludwig von Koopa, in ''Super Mario Adventure Game Picture Book 2: Mario and Baby Yoshi'' (「スーパーマリｵぼうけんゲームえほん 2 マリオとチビヨッシー」)}} Ludwig has a full set of teeth along with the overbite.</ref>, ''[[Super Mario World]]'', when leaping during his boss fight, and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''<ref>NintenU (December 8, 2015).

He has a round head and small, circular gray eyes, like Morton. ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' also reveals that his eyes present the [[Wikipedia:Tapetum lucidum|tapetum lucidum]], as eyeshine can be seen when he is partially in the dark while entering the room on his Super Ludship. The traits that differentiate Ludwig from all the other Koopalings are his single overbite on upper center of his snout and large, wild, blue hair, with an hairstyle similar to that subsequently used for [[Flurrie]]. He also has small, blue eyebrows, typically kept at an angle to confer him a serious tone. | ||
Ludwig's sprites in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'' show him with white hair due to technical limitations. Similarly, his shell in ''Hotel Mario'' is gray-colored. His redesign in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' brought minor changes to his appearance. The eyebrows became blue instead of black and Ludwig's shell became blue with light orange rings surrounding the multiple, short spikes instead of green without rings around the spikes. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Ludwig's appearance is mostly unaltered compared to the other ''Mario'' characters, including Bowser. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', however, Ludwig receives a slightly darker and subdued color scheme, while his hair, spikes, and shell receive simple detailing, though his scales remain undefined. These traits are shared with Bowser Jr. and the other Koopalings. | Ludwig's sprites in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'' show him with white hair due to technical limitations.
