Speed: No, but I've seen Morton and Roy do it in Super Mario World as well, just like Iggy. To be honest, if you're really taking that as fact, then the speed category is a three-way tie. Iggy's not the fastest.

Intelligence: In a 2012 interview with Mario game designer and producer, Shigeru Miyamoto, it is indirectly confirmed that Mario has no canon, as the characters are a 'troupe of actors' capable of adjusting to fit any role they please. Everything Mario is Mario. There is no canon nor non-canon.

With this, it's clear the cartoons are canon. Besides, you got Iggy's intellectual feats from the comics; it's not a stretch to use the cartoons. Regardless, even without the comics, it's literallg stated in Ludwig's trophy description from Smash Bros. that he's the cleverest of the Koopalings. In other words, the smartest.

Using the cartoons, it was stated in his bio that he created the Doomship. Y'know, the same thing that can travel through time and fire lightning that transmutates people? Yeah, that one. Ludwig's easily the smartest.

Strength: I just remembered that, since we're using SMW as well, that makes strength a three-way tie between Roy, Morton and Ludwig.

Versatility & Arsenal: Correction, Ludwig has Battle Cards (which can make up for any catwgory he's lacking in, including speed. He can even win the strength category with it, and become invulnerable), cloning, levitation, teleportation, Electrokinesis (Hotel Mario as well), sixteen inventions (http://www.mariowiki.com/Category:Kooky_von_Koopa's_Inventions), a sub and ship (Paper Mario Color Splash. And if you'd like to include Iggy's things from this game, go ahead, but all he has is a chariot), a magic wand and Clown Car. Overall, Ludwig not only has more powers, but more weaponry.

To be honest, yes, Iggy puts up a fight, but I wouldn't even call this battle close. Ludwig wins it out overall. Plus experience. Ludwig's the oldest.
