I pretty much grew up with the Koopalings being my favorite video game villains; even now, I've got a soft spot for them, and while I'm not sure they're my absolute favorite any more (King Boo makes for some stiff competition), they're definitely up there! Iggy's always been my favorite; he's this psychotic, cackling, hyperactive goofball, and I love him for it! Believe me, I was laughing my head off seeing his situation in the Bowser's Inside Story remake!

Story's partially by me, mostly by DumpFlump47, and posted with his permission! Thank you so much, you are an amazing writer, and I am unbelievably grateful for the help!!

Iggy giggled as he leapt from rock to rock, his eyes trained on the shore.

“Just gotta angle this right, aaaaand…. NOW!”

The Koopaling grinned as he sprang towards the next rock, tucking into his shell as he neared it. Iggy ricocheted off, cackling as he cleared the ocean and slid across Plack Beach. Two Drillbit Crabs and a Pendrill had just enough time to register the spiky shell headed towards them before Iggy plowed through, the animals launched into the sky.

“Three…”

Iggy bounced between walls, pinballing through an enclosure and both of the Toothies within, teeth scattering across the sand.

“Five…”

A group of Toads scattered as the speeding shell bounced its way back onto the beach. One tried and failed to dive out of the way, and was promptly launched into the sea from the ensuing crash.

“Six…”

Iggy spun through a trio of Pendrills, both birds sent flying headfirst into the sand.

“Nine!”

One final rebound, and Iggy skidded to a stop as he smashed through one last Toothy.

“STRIIIIIIIKE! BAHAHAHAHA!!!!”

Iggy popped out of his shell, gleefully hopping up and down as he waved to a Lakitu in the sky. “Hey, c’mere!”

The Lakitu flew down, and Iggy grabbed the camera dangling from its fishing pole.

“I told you guys Extreme Koopa Bowling would be awesome!” the Koopaling grinned, shoving his face into the camera. “And Roy, you owe me 100 coins!”

Iggy giggled to himself as he walked across the beach. It had been a few years since he washed up here with no memories, and somehow, he still found new ways to entertain himself! He might not remember much of his time as “Charlie”, but he’d gotten a pretty good summary from Kamek and Jr. when it finally occurred to him to ask. The idea of the whole thing had been too hilarious to not investigate, and Kuzzle had been… weirdly not that boring. He wasn’t exactly a blast to be around, but what could he say? He’d gotten kind of attached to the senile old coot. Plus, the family reunion he’d accidentally crashed had been great; no one had a clue who he was, and the actual Charlie was completely baffled!

They’d asked who he was, why he was there, and he’d given them the honest truth:

“I was shoved off a cliff by evil mercenaries that I thought were evil fitness instructors, lost my memories, and got adopted by an old man!”

The looks he’d gotten in response had been pretty amazing.

“All right, before I go back home, anything I forgot?” Iggy wondered aloud. “Visited Kuzzle? Check. Won a bet and invented a new sport? Check-check! Painted a sleeping Toothy and tried to convince it that it was dying of tooth decay? Check, and boy was that a disappointment. What else….”

“Sssssstole candy from one of thossssse big Goombasssss?”

“BAHAHAHA! No, but great idea! Those lollipops are bigger than my hea - wait.”

Iggy whirled around, yelping and stumbling back as he found himself face to face with a snake. But after he caught himself, he stood there in wonder, and uttered only one word:

“...Woah.”

He says, in pure shock. This snake was NOT remotely like anything he’d ever seen before in the kingdom. He was…different. WAY different than anything he’d seen before. The snake simply hissed and chuckled at him.

“Ssssssssssorry, did I ssssssscare you? You seemed to have your mind focused on…other thingsssssss~”

He says, holding up the lollipop that Iggy apparently dropped, which resulted in him promptly patting himself in confusion, looking up at him in bewilderment.

“Wh-I-Buh-Howdid-When-?!”

A coil was quickly placed over his mouth, instantly shushing him.

“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~”

That echoing shush ran through his ears, making him shiver. It was…oddly familiar. He DID have a Castle in the jungle…no, it’s paranoia….

…right?

“No need to worry about that, my dear. You’ve sssssssimply jusssssst dropped it. Sssssssoo take it back~”

He says, bringing it up to his face, promptly obscuring Kaa’s. With hesitation, he leans forward and grabs the lollipop, before looking at Kaa….and seeing something….
W O N D E R F U L ~

Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, pulsing over and over, drilling into his head. All of his surroundings just faded as he felt himself scooped off his feet and into some smooth scales, slowly beginning to wrap around his legs.

“Ssssssssss~ You’ve had a VERY long day, Iggy~ It’ssssssssss time to relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, to ssssssssssssssink, to dozzzzze off into a blisssssssful sssssssssssssspell assssssssssss ussssssssssual~”

Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over in his head~

An oceans waves of drowsiness coursed through him, like he had been listening to hours of DreamBeats. He could barely keep his careening head up, yet he had to, those colors demanded he did, they needed his full attention, to be drunk up, slurped up by his eyes and imprinted into his crumbling brain and break all resistance he’d have any illusions of having

“Mmghh..wwhh…rreellaxxx…?? Hheadd…feellss…fffhhhuuhzzzyyyhhh…~”

Were the only words his dazed out mind could even sputter. The oceans waves nearby were quickly becoming the sounds of hissing, the sand shifting into that of a beach of coils, the sun pulsing with Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, and it just made him more and more and more tired, his master was right, it’s better to just relax….sink….

“SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP~”

A drowsy yawn escaped this poor Koopaling, barely clinging on to utter out a name, a revelation of who this snake was, and why he was so familiar:

“K…Kk…kk-kaa-

G U L K ! ! ~”

Mischievous, this snake was. As this poor koopaling was pelted with thousands of spirals, his body was subsequently pelted with thousands of coils, wrapping him up in a blanket of snakeskin. And now, as he felt that tip yoink around his neck, he was only able to register that, before another beautiful sound coursed through his head:

P I N G ! ! ~

The snake happily chuckled to himself again, admiring the once intimidating Koopaling who was now nothing more than a dopely smiling, eyes swirling, blissed out coilweight. Adjusting his coils to make him comfy and shutting off his eyes, he gets close to his new snag.

“Now then, isssssn’t thissssssssss familiar? Oh, what am I sssssaying, of courssssssssse you don’t remember our…previousssssssss meetingssssssssss~”

With each hiss, his body shivered and his eyes roll upwards, each hiss pelting his mind with bliss and relaxation.

“Mmmyeesshh, masssttahh~ Iiihhhvedd mmiisssssssedd thiisssss~”

“I bet you have, my dear~ But there’sssssssss no time to worry about that. Now issss the time to relaxxxx~ Sssssssooo ssssssssssssleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep~”

The eyes pulsed yet again, and that was the sealing of the slumber, Iggy’s eyes closing, as those hisses ring through his head, and those colors, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, Blue, Yellow, Green, being firmly implanted into his mind.
He is going to absolutely LOVE his new leader~
