I decided to draw Ludwig. He's is my second favorite Koopaling.

Ludwig von Koopa, or simply Ludwig, is the confirmed eldest and leader of the Koopalings. Being the eldest, he displays great skill and is third in line for control of the Koopa Troop, after Bowser Jr. and Bowser.

In the Nintendo Adventure Book “Pipe Down!”, Ludwig kidnapped Princess Toadstool to be in his dance recital, but she was saved by the Mario Bros. Until Mario and Luigi caused an explosion that "shook something loose in his brain", he was deaf and couldn’t hear his own music.

This may be a reference to his namesake, Ludwig von Beethoven, who was deaf.

In the cartoon series, he was named Kooky von Koopa and was the typical mad scientistcharacter, inventing wicked devices for his father, Bowser, to use. The only major physical differences between Ludwig and Kooky is that Kooky has untamed hair, bigger eyes, a signature laugh, and is significantly smaller, girth-wise.

Skills

Magic Wand: Ludwig can shoot magic flames from his Wand like his siblings (except Wendy and Lemmy). His are colored deep blue.

Flutter Jump: Ludwig is able to flutter jump, similarly to a Yoshi. However, in New Super Mario Bros U, he can simply levitate instead.

Clone: Ludwig can create two clones of himself.

Trivia

Madame Flurrie, one of Mario's partners from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, has a very similar hairstyle to Ludwig.

Spewart, one of the Broodals from Super Mario Odyssey, also resembles Ludwig. They have similar hairstyles, but their one-fang overbite is coincidental.

Ludwig was named after famous German composer, Ludwig van Beethoven, due to his similar hairstyle. [1]

If one takes the shortest route possible to complete New Super Mario Bros. U, Ludwig is the only Koopaling that must be fought.

Ciao!
