So far, Bowser is shown to have eight children. Seven of them, the so-calledKoopalings, debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3, where they function as bosses at the end of every one of the game's worlds. Each Koopaling has his or her own airship, which are levels where the player has to navigate through before encountering the Koopaling. The seven kids reappeared as bosses in Super Mario World (having castles instead of airships), Mario Is Missing!, Yoshi's Safari, and Hotel Mario. Their last appearance were as minibosses in the final stage of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Super Mario Sunshinefeatured an eighth child: Bowser Jr., named after his father Bowser. He wreaks havok on the island of Delfino. In the Super Mario Bros. movie, he (Dennis Hopper) has two idiotic cousins, Iggy and Spike (Fisher Stevens and Richard Edson) and a deceitful girlfriend named Lena (Fiona Shaw).

"Koopaling" is the generic title given to all of Bowser's children except for Bowser Jr. who help him in various games. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. Each Koopaling is a boss at the end of one of the game's seven kingdoms. The Koopalings are also world bosses in Super Mario World, Mario is Missing!, Yoshi's Safari and Hotel Mario. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, however, they are mini-bosses in Bowser's Castle. They are Larry Koopa, Morton Koopa Jr., Wendy O. Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Roy Koopa, Lemmy Koopa and Ludwig von Koopa.Most of the Koopalings have wild punk hairstyles and are named after musicians. It is said that each Koopaling was personally designed by a different member of the production staff of Super Mario Bros. 3, which Shigeru Miyamoto explains is a way to honor the creators of the games personally.

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 by DiC, the original seven Koopalings are given different names based on their given personalities. They are Cheatsy Koopa, Big Mouth Koopa, Kootie Pie Koopa, Hop Koopa, Bully Koopa, Hip Koopa and Kooky von Koopa. Aside from their names and personalities, they look slightly different and serve Bowser differently compared to their video game counterparts. Instead of acting as minions, they act directly as his children, and do things such as seek his attention, and even plot against him. They also appear in the Mario anime, Nintendo Adventure Books and comic books.

Hope this helped :)

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
