◣_◢ Im Ludwig!
To know me, heres the description.
Ludwig von Koopa (also known as Kooky von Koopa) is the oldest Koopaling and was Bowser's second-in-command until Bowser Jr. came along. He possesses a magnificent intelligence, superior to that of his brothers (and probably more than Bowser) and sister. He loves playing video games with his younger brothers.

Like the other Koopalings, not much of Ludwig's personality has been revealed, though it is known that he composes "Koopa Symphonies", is somewhat arrogant and is said to be the cruelest of all the Koopalings.
He is also shown to be highly intelligent, such as when he built the gigantic robot in Yoshi's Safari. In battle he displays feats such as making earthquakes and magic blasts, spitting fireballs, shooting lightning blasts from his hands and the ability to teleport from place to place. He even has the ability to flutter jump like Yoshi.
Ludwig is the oldest of the Koopalings, probably making him a teenager (his somewhat older age is also supported by his deep voice in New Super Mario Bros. Wii). He is presumptuous and arrogant, but is still very much into culture; he likes listening to classical music and he is a composer himself, and composes "Koopa Symphonies" which, according to the comics, are terrible. He is also said to be cruel. Also, when Mario caused an explosion that "shook something loose in his [Ludwig's] brain" he claimed he could finally hear, and presumably discovered how bad his music was as a result; whether he still chooses to compose music or not is unknown. Ludwig is possibly the most intelligent of his siblings, though he doesn't seem to be as much an inventor as his younger brother Iggy. He also seems to be into horror, as he had a horror-themed hotel in Hotel Mario.

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, 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 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; he never washed or combed his hair. Ludwig is usually portrayed as the most talented and powerful of the Koopalings. In Super Mario Bros. 3, Ludwig shared his attack pattern with Roy; Ludwig could fire projectiles from his Magic Scepter, pound the ground to stun the Mario Bros., and retreat in his shell for both defensive and offensive purposes. He was given a completely unique attack pattern in Super Mario World, which none of the other Koopalings shared; Ludwig could spit three fireballs in a row (thus making him the first Koopaling to have learned the ability of breathing fire) and spin around the room in his shell, after which he could perform a long jump to the other side of the room. Ludwig was given even more new powers in Hotel Mario, as he could use electricity to fire dangerous lightnings from his hands and to teleport wherever he wished to. In Superstar Saga, Ludwig retained his previous abilities of breathing fire and spinning around in his shell, but also learned the new ability of spinning like a tornado to attack the Mario Bros. In his latest appearance in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Ludwig learned even more new abilities; he could fire projectiles from his Magic Scepter that would automatically home into the Mario Bros., or fire 5 all at once. He has even mastered the ability of Flutter Jumping better than the Yoshis themselves, being able to stay in the air for several seconds.
As it has been Stated Above, Ludwig is the most skilled with a wand, as he is shown to shoot five magic blasts at once, and even ones that home in on the player. He is even shown to utilize the Flutter Jump, a technique previously thought to be exclusive to the Yoshis. Ludwig is also shown with the ability to leap great distances, as shown in Super Mario World. Unlike the other Koopalings, Ludwig is seldom shown with tactics resembling his siblings in any way shape or form, making most of his battles completely unique, except in Super Mario Bros. 3 where he shared tactics with his younger brother Roy, and in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, where he is shown spinning like a top like Iggy, and shares his shell spinning tactics with Roy.
