Larry Koopa (Known as Cheatsy Koopa in the cartoons) is the youngest of the koopalings a clan of seven siblings that act as leader of thr koopa troop under Bowser, and who were originally considered to be his children. Like Lugwig, Larry has blue hair, albeit a lighter color and in a different style, resembling a cockscomb. In the Nintendo Power Super Mario World Guide Larry is referred as "Bowser's number one Koopaling". Many sources initially claimed he was named after American talk show host Larry King. The former Nintendo of America eminstead Dayvv Brooks, who originally named the Koopalings, claimed instead that Larry was named after Larry Mullen Jr., the drummer for the rock band U2. All the Koopalings there fore would have been named after musicians. However, Brooks contradicted this in a December 2015 interview, stating that Larry was not named after anyone in particular, and that he just simply "looked like a Larry".
