Larry reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]], alongside the rest of the [[Koopalings]], [[Boom Boom]], [[Kamek|Magikoopa]], and [[Bowser Jr.]] He is the boss of [[Sparkling Waters]], and is battled in [[Larry's Torpedo Castle]] (''New Super Mario Bros. U'') and [[Larry's Trigger-Happy Castle]] (''New Super Luigi U''). His battle strategy is to blast fireballs and use water blasts from the pool below the arena, which act like the pillars from his previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' battles. When Larry is spinning in his shell, the water geysers give his shell a boost upwards, making it a bit difficult to avoid. After two stomps, Larry starts to cast two fireballs in quick succession. In addition, he is one of only three Koopalings to retain the use of a [[magic wand]], the others being Iggy and Ludwig. When the player reaches his airship at the end of Sparkling Waters' Castle, he emits a mocking laugh. However, when Mario actually boards his airship, Larry will once again get into one of his rages. Three hits to his head will make him fall off-screen.

Despite this, Larry survives, and is later picked up along with the rest of the Koopalings by Bowser Jr., although they end up escaping by hanging onto Bowser's tail after the latter inadvertently destroyed Bowser Jr's (already damaged) ship.

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' produced by [[Nintendo]] and [[DIC Entertainment]], he is named Cheatsy Koopa and is usually scheming up Bowser's latest plan, sometimes in conjunction with [[Ludwig von Koopa#DIC cartoons|Kooky]]. There are notable differences regarding his design here. His hair is a mohawk with several strands that point in different directions instead of a cocksomb, he has an elongated muzzle instead of a short, rounded one, a flat mouth with two protruding teeth instead of a feline one with four protruding teeth, his skin is slightly darker and has a tail that curls around like a pig's, and he has pronounced wrinkles. He is almost always seen squinting. He appears the most of all the [[Koopalings#DIC cartoons|Koopa Kids]] in the cartoon. Cheatsy is voiced by James Rankin.

A very common animation goof regarding Cheatsy is that his green head is often colored orange, the same color as the rest of his body. One particular shot in the episode "[[The Beauty of Kootie]]" even has his head mistakenly colored purple.

'''[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]''': Cheatsy is assigned with several of his brothers to be Giant Ninja Koopas in order to capture [[Prince Hugo]] in [[Giant Land]] by [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. Cheatsy and his brother manage to capture not only Hugo, but [[Luigi]], [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] as well. Cheatsy and his brothers are later defeated, turned back to their normal selves by [[Mario]] and co. Koopa manages to escape through a [[Warp Pipe]] to a [[Warp Zone]] with Cheatsy and his siblings.

'''[[The Beauty of Kootie]]''': In the episode Cheatsy works with [[Wendy O. Koopa#DIC cartoons|Kootie Pie]] to refill the [[Airship|Doom Ship]] engine with oil, which causes the [[Sultan]]'s jacuzzi to be filled with oil. Cheatsy then turns Kootie into a human to distract the Mario Bros, but Cheatsy turns Kootie back (but she fell for Luigi, who was transformed into [[Luigi|Kassanova Koopa]] before the latter goes back to his normal self). Cheatsy and Kootie chase after him but again are defeated.

'''[[Princess Toadstool for President]]''': Cheatsy and [[Ludwig von Koopa#DIC cartoons|Kooky]] make a [[Nice Guy Potion]] for King Koopa so he can be elected to be king of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Cheatsy and Kooky eventually have to make more as the old potion's effects wear off. However, the Mario Bros. learn about this and ruin their last batch, thus stopping Koopa from becoming King.

'''[[Never Koop a Koopa]]''': In this episode, Cheatsy and Koopa capture the gang, and Koopa teaches Cheatsy about double-crossing. Cheatsy later double-crosses Koopa into signing the Mushroom Kingdom to him, but Koopa tells him it is just a smiley face and chases him around his throne.

'''[[Tag Team Trouble]]''': Koopa and Cheatsy plan to get one million gold coins (Toad misinterprets this as a plan to steal the gold coins he was carrying to the orphanage, though this is not the case). Cheatsy enters the [[Sledge Bro|Sledge Brothers]] into the [[Mushroom Wrestling Federation]] to fight Toad's cousins. During the battle, true to his name, he cheats and hypnotizes Toad's cousins to fall sleep for two days. But Cheatsy didn't prepare for Mario and Luigi, who, with a little help from some [[Star|Starmen]], beat them and win the gold coins.

The last appearance of Larry for almost a decade was in ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. He is found and battled in [[Larry's Chillton Hotel]] with the words "Larry's Cave Hotel" and "This mine is mine" written on the entrance. In [[Larry's Scary Lair]], Larry attacks by using bowling balls, further signifying his love of sports. Like most other battles, this Koopaling can eat the Mario Bros. in (presumably) one gulp if they meet in an elevator.

Larry is rather similar to his siblings, sharing the regular yellow and tan skin and green head color. He is set apart by his blue hair (which has been inconsistently alternating between dark and light blue in earlier artwork, until it stuck to light blue from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' onward), that are usually combed to resemble a cockscomb,<ref name="comb"/> whose appearance remained relatively consistent over time. Another more recent distinguishing and noticeable trait is the blue star on the side of his head, which is similar to [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]]'s star and the stripes on the side of [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]]'s head; this star was not added until ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. With early official information depicting him as much shorter than Mario<ref>[http://pressthebuttons.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452033569e201b8d0b43f5b970c 1993 Nintendo Character Guide Comparison Chart.] ''Press The Buttons''. Retrieved October 14, 2015.</ref>, Larry is still shorter than Mario in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but varies in height between games, with his shortest modern appearance being in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and his tallest being in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', and is overall slightly shorter than Ludwig. Larry has two, fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his snout, similar to Roy (though, originally, he had four protruding teeth), along with a complete set of teeth as shown in the battle against him and Ludwig in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', when he flails his wand against Paper Mario and when he's falling after being hit by his own bomb<ref name="PJLarryLudwig1stbattle" />. His mouth is feline-shaped, as his lips are deeply curved, and his nose is flat; it is relatively the same as Roy's aside from the jawline. He also has a plated belly and padded feet.

He has large, oval eyes that are light blue, like [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]]; however, his in-game sprites in ''Super Mario World'' depict them as green due to the SNES's color palette limitations. For the same reason, his hair is depicted as white in his ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' sprites.

Wii''. He wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other Koopalings.

Larry's appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is unaltered when compared to most of the ''Super Mario'' characters, including Bowser. However, ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' gives Larry a slightly darker and subdued color scheme, while his hair, spikes, and shell feature simple detailing, though his scales remain undefined. This trait is shared with Bowser Jr. and the other Koopalings.
