No, I won't actually be writing this. I have a crap ton of ideas, but I can never find how to put them on paper, or in this case, a Word doc and transferred over to the forum via copy paste. But if anyone else wants to do this, I'll explain all my thoughts on what this would be.
Origins:
I got the idea while torturing myself with my first time watching the Mario 3 cartoon. (It was for research purposes, only I don't remember what the research was for.) I then decided I would rewrite most of the episodes. But then I got so many ideas for original stories that I said, "Screw it. I'm not doing the rewrite." In the midst of all this I also created new personalities for everyone...
Characters:
The main characters will be the Koopa family. (No Bowser Jr, just Bowser and the Koopalings.) Below you will find individual guides to all the Koopalings, as well as what I imagine them looking like. (All designs, with the exception of Iggy and Lemmy, were based on Super Mario Bros. 3, and apart from Lemmy, nobody got a major overhaul from their current designs.)
Larry:
Larry is the biological youngest, at 13 years old. He enjoys tennis, video games, making/selling potions, and camping. As cute and adorable as he looks, Larry will roast his siblings at any opportunity, especially Wendy. He also loves watching chaos unfold, but doesn't like to be the one causing it. Despite all this, Larry would take the role of the relatable high school kid, only he's in eighth grade.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Roy: Gets bullied by him a lot, both physically and verbally.
Wendy: Hates her and her whininess.
Iggy: Good friends. In a trio together with Lemmy.
Morton: Likes, but not very close with.
Lemmy: Best friends. Enjoy playing games together.
Ludwig: Doesn't always like, but will come to him for advice.
Roy:
Roy is the bully of the group, much like in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. He's the most likely to kill a guy, but with all his brawn comes very little brains.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Larry: Loves to pick on him just for fun.
Wendy: Good friends, in a trio together with Morton.
Iggy: Neutral
Morton: Best friends, the brains and brawn duo. (See Morton's section.)
Lemmy: Neutral
Ludwig: Likes, but not very close with.
Wendy:
Wendy is one of the straight people to everyone's craziness. At 16, she's a teen girl stereotype, enjoying stuff like shopping for clothes, and talking with friends on the phone. She's kind of like her cartoon counterpart, Kootie-Pie, except she guilt trips Bowser instead of throwing fits.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Larry: Hates how he's always looking for an extra dime, and his gaming habits. He also tends to keep Wendy awake at night since they're bedroom neighbors.
Roy: Very good friends.
Iggy: Hates with a burning passion. Iggy is always barging into her room asking her to be a test subject to his inventions (See Iggy's section,) and unintentionally ruins her life every time.
Morton: Good friends.
Lemmy: Neutral.
Ludwig: Very close friends, the two most serious people in the family.
Iggy:
At 17, Iggy is a scientific genius, but when it comes to everything else, he's a total idiot. As said before, he often uses Wendy as a test subject for his inventions, and can never seem to pick up the fact that she wants everything not to do with him. He has a pet chain chomp, (working name: Sir Chompson,) and often hangs out with Lemmy and occasionally Larry.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Larry: Good friends
Roy: Neutral
Wendy: Doesn't hate, just a little scared of.
Morton: Neutral
Lemmy: Very close
Ludwig: Neutral
Morton:
Lemmy:
While Larry is the youngest of the five who were born under Bowser, Lemmy is the youngest of all the Koopalings at 11. He was born with a condition where past the age of 6, he would never be able to grow any taller, and often stands on his ball to gain height. Along with this condition, he would never be able to grow a shell, which is why he wears a green tee-shirt. (I originally wanted it to be orange, until I decided to make their skin/scales orange instead of yellow.) I also threw in a pair of socks just for the heck of it. He adjusted to the family very easily, befriending Larry and Iggy instantly. He's the most childlike of the group, and rarely helps to kidnap the princess by choice. He also serves as a translator whenever Morton tries to communicate with the others.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Larry: Very good friends.
Roy: Neutral
Wendy: Doesn't like.
Iggy: Very good friends.
Morton: Unbreakable (see Morton's section.)
Ludwig: Neutral
Ludwig:
Ludwig is an arrogant jerk who only cares about his spot on the throne, though once in a blue moon, he'll act as a father figure to Larry. While he's good friends with Wendy, the two of them are also in a feud over who should be the Koopalings' leader, something I forgot to mention in Wendy's section. Apart from that, they're nothing else I can say about him. I've never cared for Ludwig outside of the cartoons, and Iggy's already filled that spot.
Bowser:
Bowser is the big man who runs the kingdom, but still finds time for his kids, just not in the best way. He often buys them what they want for Christmas and takes them on summer and winter vacations, but he's always extremely cheap, leading to massive disappointment. He also treats his minions horribly, and has a drinking problem. I'm just gonna leave it at that so I don't come up with any more dark ideas like the rumor of him having the hots for Peach.
I may also create some side characters, but for now, these are what I would do if I was in charge of a Koopaling series. (I don't know if I said this earlier in the post, but I won't write this myself since I can't find away to put my thoughts on screen.)

Roy: Neutral
Wendy: Doesn't hate, just a little scared of.
Morton: Neutral
Lemmy: Very close
Ludwig: Neutral
Morton:
Morton plays two tropes: the gentle giant, and the silent genius. Morton never talks, and communicates using his eyes, head movements, and hand signals. Lemmy is normally the only one who can understand him, though Larry and Iggy are taking lessons. Besides being completely mute, Morton is the smartest of the bunch, often pointing out errors in his siblings' common sense. He's also one of the kindest, not something you would expect from the biggest of the Koopalings. In short, Morton is the exact opposite of his cartoon counterpart, a talkative idiot.
RELATIONSHIPS:
Larry: Neutral, though often considers joining his trio.
Roy: Good friends, although he often stops Roy's bullying of Larry.
Wendy: Mostly likes, although he's not a fan of her vanity and constant complaining.
Iggy: Neutral
Lemmy: Unbreakable. They're biological brothers, and were adopted into the family after their parents died in an amusement ride accident. You know, now that I posted that on a forum, I'm wondering if it's a little too dark?
Ludwig: Neutral

This is probably an old topic, but I still thought I'd share some episode ideas.
• A swarm of scuttlebugs invades the castle. Iggy wants to help them get back home, and questions why they're here, while Wendy and the others want to kill them, or at least get rid of them at all. I would say this is like "Bats" from MLP, but Iggy doesn't become a scuttlebug, so is there any similarity?
• On the first day of the new school year, Wendy arrives and sees that nobody remembers her anymore. She then sees her former friends talking with a new girl named Selena. After the two meet, Selena spends all day making Wendy's life miserable, and attempting to keep Wendy from taking her popularity back.
• A Wizard of Oz parody where Dorothy is played by Wendy, the scarecrow is played by Iggy, the lion is played by Morton, and the witch is Selena. I'm still trying to find roles for the tin man, Toto, the Wizard, and Glinda
• A Super-Mario-Bros-2-inspired story where Iggy travels across his dreams to save Subcon from Wart. This would most likely be the most creative episode, since anything and everything is possible. If this became a YouTube animation or a webcomic, I'd like it to be a collab so that each world has a different artstyle.
• Halloween Special: Something happens to Iggy where he's still friendly by day, but a serial killer by night. Throughout a number of nights, Iggy kills his siblings, and a murder mystery is held. When it's just Iggy and Larry remaining, the two battle it out on the balcony, after which Larry wakes up, and realizes it was just a nightmare. He also learns that all his siblings have had the dream before, even Iggy himself, with the killer being Wendy.
• Holiday Special: After a morning of playing in the snow, Bowser invites the Koopalings inside for some hot cocoa. All seems good until one of Bowser's servants tells him that his ex-wife Clawdia is coming over for Christmas, and Bowser announces that the holiday is now banned from the kingdom, in an attempt to keep her from visiting. After some confusion from Lemmy and Morton, Larry explains that many years ago, Clawdia went someplace and never returned. Wendy thinks about all the good times they had, and offers to give her a second chance, but when Clawdia comes over despite Bowser's wishes, Wendy and the rest of the family fight over if she should be banished forever.
Edit: Another episode idea I have is the main characters getting stuck in the cartoon universe. (Yes. THAT cartoon universe.) It wouldn't really have a main plot. I'd just love to see interactions like Iggy and Kooky showing off their inventions to each other, or Morton having to put up with Big Mouth's loudness. I wanted to make profiles for the DiC characters, before realizing there was nothing to say about them. Hip/Hop: generic twins, end of profile. Kootie-Pie: spoiled-rotten jerk-face, end of profile, and so on and so forth. I even edited some old concept art for Hip/Hop and Kootie-Pie before realizing how atrocious they were.
