Despite his tendencies towards relying on strength, Roy shows some degree of planning capability at times. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', he specifically notes that he has a [[Time Bob-omb|time bomb]] present to deter the Mario Bros. from beating him easily. Similarly, in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' he shows some degree of common sense, acknowledging the possibility of Bowser being abducted due to Bowser being somewhat naïve, and after being restored to normal from brainwashing, he also warns [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] that the [[Elite Trio]] had set a time bomb on the Koopa Cruiser. It's also implied that he was also pragmatic enough to recognize he needs to praise Captain Goomba and his men to motivate the troops to free Bowser. In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', he tells Mario that he started going to night school because ''knowledge is power'', and steals Mario's color and using it as ammo for his paint launcher before eventually blacking out the arena with black paint; Huey in particular yells that there were "treaties" against the former. His trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' also hints that he is pretty quick to act as a soldier when the situation calls for it. | Despite his tendencies towards relying on strength, Roy shows some degree of planning capability at times.

As indicated by his use of Mario's paint in ''Color Splash'', much of Roy's planning ability exhibits itself through dirty tactics, established as early as his appearance in the book [[Leaping Lizards]]. In both ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and its remake in particular, he initially appears to run from Mario and Luigi, with the next section of Bowser's Castle unlocking as usual, only to ambush the Mario Bros. as they proceed. However, even his love of fighting dirty has its limitations; in the remake, while brainwashed earlier in the story, Roy seems to disapprove of Fawful's plan to have the then-brainwashed Elite Trio set up the aforementioned time bomb, calling it "cowardly." | As indicated by his use of Mario's paint in ''Color Splash'', much of Roy's planning ability exhibits itself through dirty tactics, established as early as his appearance in the book [[Leaping Lizards]].

Roy's shades and various other hints suggest that he may have a thing for acting or looking cool. This is particularly evident in ''Mario Kart 8'' with his choice of tricks, as well as the advertisements featuring him by "Roy's Smooth Sounds". Roy is also seen driving the [[Badwagon]] in the trailers and in artworks<ref>[[Media:Koopalings Artwork - Mario Kart 8.png|Artwork of the Koopalings in Mario Kart 8, in which Roy is driving the Badwagon.]]</ref>; said kart is pink, with many lights that are the same shade of pink as Roy, even in the dashboard, and features many different stereo speakers and a "Roy Smooth Sounds" logo.<ref>[[Media:Peach Badwagon.jpg|Peach driving the Badwagon, many of its peculiar features can be seen, including the pink lights, even in the dashboard, and the "Roy Smooth Sounds" logo.]]</ref> ''Mario Kart 8'' also suggests that he enjoys music, between the company associated with him and the appearance of the Badwagon in his trailer and artworks. This is also a trait hinted at much earlier, with his quote on the [[Classic World 2-2]] [[e-Reader]] card for ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. | Roy's shades and various other hints suggest that he may have a thing for acting or looking cool.
