==History==
===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
{{split|Big Koopa Paratroopa|Patapata no Oya|Patapata Kodomo}}
A big Paratroopa appears in the 1986 anime movie ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' She captures [[Mario]], and later [[Luigi]] and [[Haru-ōji|Kibidango]], and takes them to her nest, where she attempts to feed them to her babies, which resemble large green baby birds. Mario avoids being eaten by feeding the babies the laughing mushrooms he had been picking; he saves Luigi and Kibidango by pretending to taste Luigi and saying he has gone rotten. The babies then persuade the mother to go get them some dessert. She is last seen waving goodbye to the heroes with her babies after they acquire the [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] from the freed [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:GiantParakoopas SMB3.png|thumb|left]]
Colossal Koopa Paratroopas appear in [[Giant Land]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and do not act differently than other [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s. Like [[Big Koopa Troopa|Giant Koopa]]s, their large shells can be used to smash [[Mega Block|Big Block]]s, and can be picked up. Only hopping [[Giant Green Shell|green-shelled]] ones appear.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', they can be produced if the player puts a [[Super Mushroom]] onto normal [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s; another way of creating them is to attach a pair of [[wings]] to a [[Big Koopa Troopa]]. In addition to their original green color, Big Koopa Paratroopas now come in [[Giant Red Shell|red-shelled]] varieties, and each behave differently akin to their smaller relatives: green-shelled ones make consequent hops on the ground, heading towards the direction they are facing, and red-shelled ones fly in a straight pattern up and down.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the [[Tub-O-Troopa]] enemies that are only found in [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Bowser's Keep]] bear a resemblance to Colossal Koopa Paratroopas.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', they are known as '''Big Green Koopa Paratroopas''', and have a variant known as '''Big [[Yellow Shell|Yellow]] Koopa Paratroopas'''.

====Big Green Koopa Paratroopa====
Big Green Koopa Paratroopas are Water-attribute enemies. In battle, in addition to attacking normally, they may occasionally use '''Big Shell''' to nullify Fire and Dark attribute damage for three turns, and may also use Frenzied Blows to deal a large amount of damage. When defeated, they may randomly drop [[Baddie Block#Super Water Block|Super Water Blocks]] of Green Koopa Paratroopas, while defeating them with 10+ Combo attacks guarantees they will drop [[Rare Fruit (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|Rare Fruit]]s. As Water enemies, they take extra damage from Wood attribute attacks and less from Fire damage. Only three appear as enemies in the entire game: in the last regular battle in {{world-link|4|wendyair|World 4-Airship (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}} and its Special World counterpart, and in the first battle of Course 2 of the Fixed Challenge mode in [[Score Attack]]. A Big Green Koopa Paratroopa also appears in the demo version of ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'', as the boss of [[Intro]].

As teammates, Big Green Koopa Paratroopas gain a Light sub-attribute (being Water/Light teammates), and have an HP rating of 6/6, an ATK rating of 2/6, and a RCV rating of 3/6. Their Big Shell Skill changes any Fire and Wood Orbs on the player's Orb field into Water Orbs, while their Awoken Skill '''Health Boost''' raises the HP of the player's entire team. Big Green Koopa Paratroopas use [[Berry|Fruit]]s and Rare Fruits to raise their Skill Levels. The player can create a Big Green Koopa Paratroopa by transforming a Green Koopa Paratroopa with five [[Super Mushroom]]s.
