Like all the other Koopalings, Morton's personality and traits have been shrouded in mystery, even more so than compared to the other Koopalings. Morton seems to prefer brawn over brains, similarly to Roy. The ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' manual implies that he is astute enough to realize whether there are any possible setbacks regarding defeating Mario and can likewise report the information to Bowser, but the English translation toned down his thoughtful wording and made him seem angry. This is also true according to the Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Super Mario Advance 4'', in which Morton is said to be a grouch with a cantankerous personality. Morton may have an interest in construction, as in ''Mario Kart 8'', there are advertisements for "Morton's Construction" with Morton's face on it. Curiously, in ''Ice Ice Outpost'' many containers and machines present the ''Morton'' or ''Morton Construction'' logo on them, suggesting that his company is collaborating with the Toads of the ''Toad Polar Expedition 2014-2015''. Along with construction, one of his stunts include him flexing his muscles, which may indicate that he likes anything that takes on strength. The fourth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series states that he is proudly more brawn than brains. | Like all the other Koopalings, Morton's personality and traits have been shrouded in mystery, even more so than compared to the other Koopalings.

The former characterization also was hinted at in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, where, when Iggy and Lemmy were eager to fight the Mario Bros., Morton reminds them that they had just wiped out Wendy, Larry, Ludwig, and Roy beforehand. He also seemed to be very protective of his siblings in the same game, as when Iggy and Lemmy are left disabled due to their attacks on the Mario Bros. backfiring, Morton declares his intention of avenging them.

In ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', all the Koopalings were given names to match the personalities they were given and such was the case with Morton, whose name was changed to Big Mouth Koopa. Big Mouth was extremely talkative, to the point of never seeming to know when to stop talking, which continuously forced [[Roy Koopa|Roy]] to interrupt him. According to the bio on the DVD set for ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', he was also extremely arrogant in regards to his intelligence, as well as exceptionally ignorant regarding the actual facts of the world, and he never accepts responsibility for being wrong, preferring to blame others instead. In addition, he was also known to make cutting remarks, which were severe enough to even make his father cry if directed at him. Very few actual ''Mario'' games ever gave Morton lines, although unused lines for ''Mario is Missing!'', which would have been used for a planned boss battle against Morton, implied that he was largely sarcastic and wise-cracking. | In ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'', all the Koopalings were given names to match the personalities they were given and such was the case with Morton, whose name was changed to Big Mouth Koopa.
