While the Koopas may be the villains of the Super Mario world, there is no doubting that Bowser’s group is a strong and prestigious one.

Even though the only child that canonically belongs to Bowser is Bowser Jr, the seven Koopa Kids – as well as the many Koopling minions laced throughout the world – have been noble henchmen for King Koopa ever since they were introduced.

Whether they are battling plumbers, racing go-karts, or attempting to win a board game, the Koopa Kids are always doing their best to serve the big guy.

Some fans may be interested to know that the Koopa lineage may even spawn outside of King Koopa, as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels shows Bowser even has a brother, furthering the possibilities of the family name.
