Mario faces Roy after the defeat of Roy's bro, Iggy Koopa. Roy along with Ludwig is harder due to his stomping that can paralyze Mario but despite this Mario does away with this tough koopa and reverts the king to his normal self.

Roy continues his traditional placement in the Koopa Kid lineup in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. In this game Roy must be defeated in 8 turns, as it was with his brother and sister Larry and Wendy, respectively. Roy attacks like his brothers Morton and Ludwig, only longer and stronger.
