Consider how powerful The Koopalings are, and how unpredictable at times. Several attacks start out near-identically, they have a lot of kill moves and some good range (and I speak from having Ludwig hand the Duck Hunt Dog and Pikachu some nasty pain, courtesy of Sivelos). Their only 'weak' special is the Mecha Koopa deployer, and that still kind of makes the ground hazardous and can set them up in the air; everything else has the potential to ruin your day quickly. He's also smaller than Bowser (harder to hit) and has a better recovery (he's not completely vulnerable during the fall time), and his defensive is...Average. Which is good enough in this case.
That he's kind of on the slow-ish side is probably done to migigate the offensive power.
