In Ludwig's trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', he is considered the most intelligent of the Koopalings, in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' he even designs his own warship to fight Mario, that he doesn't manage to fully produce before the latter arrives. He has been given the role of an inventor also in other media, such as the Club Nintendo comic ''Super Mario: Erholung? Nein, danke!'', where he works as the mechanic for the KoopAir airline service. In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoon, Ludwig's name was changed into Kooky von Koopa, and was portrayed as a stereotypical mad scientist, whose main purpose was to invent new doomsday weapons and gadgets for his [[Bowser|father]]. He would commonly burst out into maniacal laughter or raise his voice by shouting in the middle of talking and seemed to be very aggressive towards the Mario Bros. Kooky didn't also care much about his hygiene, never washing or combing his hair. By contrast, the comics give him a more refined personality and vocabulary. | In Ludwig's trophy description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', he is considered the most intelligent of the Koopalings, in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' he even designs his own warship to fight Mario, that he doesn't manage to fully produce before the latter arrives.

Ludwig was given a stereotypical German accent in both the official Nintendo Power strategy guide for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the ''CD-ROM Deluxe'' edition of ''Mario is Missing!'', along with maniacal laughter not indicated in the speech bubbles in the latter source. In the Italian version of ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' he even leaves Mario speaking in German.<ref>stratussina (October 31, 2016).

Ludwig says ''Auf Wiedersehen!'' which means ''goodbye!''.</ref> Interestingly, he seems to have a very laid-back tone in the original Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' manual, having some eccentric "cool musician" mannerisms and even using the first-person pronoun 「おいら」 ''oira'' (highlighted in katakana as 「オイラ」), a version of 「おれ」 ''ore'' with rural connotations.
