Instruction Booklet''|date=1985|location=Redmond|publisher=[[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]|page=10}}</ref> is the primary antagonistic force of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise. It is an organization of armed forces led by [[Bowser]]. The Minions repeatedly try to conquer the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and sometimes other areas, with their goals based mainly on Bowser's own interests. Not all members of the Minions are [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]], although they serve as the majority of the members and also have high-ranking roles. According to official character books, the army is led by the Turtle Tribe, with older material indicating the members of Bowser's "royal family" as leaders. In both ''Super Mario Pia'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]'', the "royal family" term is missing, and in general, the organization of Bowser's army is no longer explained, with the former reconfirming that the Turtle Tribe still leads it. As shown in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', when Bowser is absent, [[Bowser Jr.]] takes leadership of the Minions. It is also implied in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' that Bowser Jr. has his own army within the Minions.


The Koopa forces differ between appearances, though [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s consistently appear as the most common and basic troops. There are also many rarer minion types of the Minions, including seemingly elite troops of the organization, such as [[Hammer Bro]]s and [[Magikoopa]]s. Aside from Bowser and Bowser Jr., other notable members have been shown to hold positions of authority and leadership within the organization's hierarchy. The most prominent examples include the [[Koopalings]] (particularly common in the case of the 2D platformers) and [[Kamek]] (especially in the case of the ''Yoshi'' franchise). There is also a trend of species-specific monarchs/chiefs within the Minions who seemingly act as vassals to Bowser, implying a degree of autonomy and sub-hierarchy on a species-level basis; examples of this include [[Goomboss]], [[King Boo]], [[King Bob-omb]], [[Whomp King]], and [[Petey Piranha]].
The '''Koopa Troop''' (named as such in ''Super Mario RPG''; also known as the '''Turtle Tribe''' or '''Koopa clan''' in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'') is a militaristic dictatorship led by [[Bowser]], King of the [[Koopa Troopa|Koopas]]. The Koopa Troop wishes to take over the peaceful [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and, ultimately, the [[Mushroom World|entire world]]. The Koopa Troop has taken over the Mushroom Kingdom multiple times and has even attempted to take over the [[Mushroom World]]. According to [[Kammy Koopa]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the motive for the clan is to have revenge against all who have treated Koopas poorly. However, some of their goals are based entirely on Bowser's own interests. According to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Koopa Troop resides in [[Dark Land]].


On some occasions, Bowser has teamed up with others (such as [[Antasma]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'') to achieve a common goal, but in these instances, these characters are not considered part of the Minions.
The Koopa Troop is nearly unstoppable. Bowser has an almost unlimited supply of [[Goomba]] and Koopa soldiers at his disposal; the Koopa Troop also has an army (with tanks), a navy (with ships), and an air force (with [[airship]]s). Despite having a huge military, the Koopa Troop is continuously defeated by [[Mario]] and his brother [[Luigi]], the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as those who assist the Mario Bros. on their missions to protect the Mushroom Kingdom.
==History==
===DIC cartoons===
====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
[[File:Koopa Pack.jpg|thumb|150px|left|The Koopa Pack in "[[Raiders of the Lost Mushroom]]"]]
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the enemies under the command of King Koopa are often referred to as the '''Koopa Pack''', although it seems to be used interchangeably between generic minions of King Koopa and a core group consisting of King Koopa, [[Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], and a single Koopa Troopa. On one occasion, they also went by '''Koopa Troopers''' and '''Team Koopa'''. In the show, all of the members (except for King Koopa) are somewhat unintelligent. In "[[Raiders of the Lost Mushroom]]," Mouser, Tryclyde, and Koopa Troopa said that stealing is wrong, which made King Koopa (or [[King Koopa's alter egos#Kolonel von Koop|Kolonel von Koop]] as he was called) angrily hit them with a whip and say that bad guys are supposed to steal.


====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
The main force of the Koopa Troop differs from game to game. [[Koopa Troopa]]s are quite obviously the most intelligent of their widely-used members and [[Magikoopa]]s, [[Hammer Bros.]] and [[Koopatrol]]s are among their elites. Also, strangely, ''[[Yoshi's Universal Gravitation]]'' seems to suggest that [[Fly Guy]]s, who were constantly seen en masse during Bowser's cutscene-illustrated operations, were the Koopa Troop's main soldiers. The ''Yoshi'' series seems to suggest that back while Bowser was a [[Baby Bowser|baby]], the troop's main force mainly consisted of [[Shy Guy|Shy Guys]].
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bowser's Minions appear as recurring characters, the most frequent being the [[Sledge Bro]]s, [[Boomerang Bro]]s, and [[Paragoomba]]s.


===''Yoshi'' franchise===
During the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Mario eventually joined the Koopa Troop. When Bowser joined Mario's Party at [[Booster Tower]], he made Mario, [[Mallow]] and [[Geno]] honorary members. However, the scene could also be interpreted as Bowser joining Mario, with Bowser's wording of allowing Mario and friends to join the Koopa Troop being a simple way to keep his own pride and avoid joining his arch nemesis. (This is actually implied in ''Super Mario RPG'', which states "or so they're pretending" after it announces that Mario and friends joined the Koopa Troop.)
Like in the mainline ''Super Mario'' platformers, the troop appears as the main enemies in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] and is led by [[Baby Bowser]], who is cared for by [[Kamek]]. Kamek sends his [[Toady|Toad]]ies to steal [[Baby Mario]] or the other babies from [[Yoshi]] and the other [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s as they adventure through [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] to save [[Baby Luigi]], and the [[stork]] from the troop and help the baby brothers reunite with each other. The Yoshis also need to get them to their parents' house and help the stork in his baby delivering duties. The Yoshis and Yoshi himself defeated the troop through the use of eggs, while also jumping and ground-pounding on them. The composition of the troop follows somewhat different trends in the ''Yoshi'' franchise than the mainline ''Super Mario'' platformers. For example, [[Shy Guy]]s appear as the most commonly encountered and basic enemy in the Koopa Troop instead of Goombas and Koopa Troopas.


===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
The '''Koopa Kingdom''' is said to consist of the lands where Bowser and his minions reside, although this is seldom visited in the games. The locations speculated to be parts of the Koopa Kingdom in the games are the World 8 of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', as well as World 6 of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and World 5 of ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. There are also the '''Bowser Baddies''', which are only seen assisting Bowser with his custom airship, the [[Koopa Cruiser]].
During ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] is invaded by the [[Smithy Gang]] via [[Exor]]. By the time Bowser is met at [[Booster Tower]], there are no more remaining Minions by his side. He claims that [[Mario]], [[Mallow]], and [[Geno]] are active members when he joins the party (although it is heavily implied that he did this so he can avoid the humiliation of having to ask for their help).


===''Paper Mario'' series===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the Koopa Troop is shown to be split into different divisions, as evidenced when [[Fawful]] shows Bowser his captured soldiers. As Bowser rescues his soldiers, he is able to use them as attacks, for example, using a squadron of Shy Guys to sling Bowser forward to the enemy.
The Koopa Troop plays varying roles in the ''Paper Mario'' franchise. In particular, during the events of the first game, Bowser dispatched the Koopa Troop to halt Mario's attempts at restoring the Star Spirits. Aside from this, they also engaged in some side-activities such as holding a game show, with Peach acting as a contestant, and one [[Spiked Goomba]] even managed to use the castle armory as a makeshift shop for Mario and his party. In [[Bowser's Castle]] and [[Princess Peach's Castle]], they are primarily represented by [[Koopatrol]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s., and blue [[Magikoopa]]s, occasionally joined by others.


In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Bowser summons the Koopa Troop to confront the X-Nauts led by [[Lord Crump]] in [[Twilight Town]], as the latter was trying to find the [[Superbombomb]]. This quickly turned largely to fighting over the [[Crystal Star]]s, however, with the conflict ending abruptly soon after; when the Superbombomb failed to detonate upon hitting Bowser, he then unleashed a plume of flame breath that inadvertently set it off and wiped out both sides. From this point onwards, the Koopa soldiers can be found in [[Rogueport Underground]], attempting to excavate the area for Crystal Stars. Once again, they are represented by Koopatrols, Hammer Bros., and blue Magikoopas.
[[Image:Koopa Pack.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Koopa Pack'''.]]
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', the creatures under the command of King Koopa were often referred to by the '''Koopa Pack''' and on one occasion, '''Koopa Troopers''' and '''Team Koopa'''; though in later episodes of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', the name Koopa Pack seemed to be used interchangeably between generic minions of King Koopa and a subsidiary group consisting of King Koopa, [[Mouser (character)|Mouser]], [[Tryclyde]], and a single, unnamed Koopa Troopa. Additionally, the battle cry of the Koopa Pack, which was often yelled by King Koopa, was "Koopa Pack, attack!".


In ''Super Paper Mario'', Bowser gives a morale-raising speech as part of preparations to invade Peach's castle, completely unaware that she had already been abducted by an unknown third party until the Mario Bros. confront and accuse him of kidnapping her. However, neither he nor the rest of the troop could act on this information before the one responsible for her abduction, [[Count Bleck]], proceeded to capture them as well as Luigi. The Koopa Troop later attended a "wedding" helmed by Count Bleck and his majordomo [[Nastasia]], with Bowser eagerly wishing to marry Peach, while Peach was forced via hypnosis on Nastasia's part to accept the proposal. However, this turned out to have been done in order for Bleck to create the [[Chaos Heart]] to wipe out all existence due to grief. A [[Hammer Bro]] captain and [[Koopa Troopa]] named Private Koopa attempted to aid Peach in escaping while two Goombas (one named Gary) coerced Luigi into helping them escape; however, Nastasia thwarted the escape attempts by brainwashing the captain, Private, and Gary, while the other Goomba cowardly defected to her side. Although Peach ended up escaping due to [[Dimentio|unknown factors]], Luigi was successfully brainwashed into becoming [[Mr. L]] by Nastasia. Bowser and presumably any Koopa Troop members who hadn't been brainwashed by Nastasia were then dispatched to [[The Bitlands]], where they had a brief run-in with Mario and the escaped Peach. After being defeated in a brawl by his nemesis, Bowser agreed to aid Mario in stopping Count Bleck (as his plan of destroying all existence would obviously prevent any chance at Bowser conquering the world); he then had the Koopa Troop hold down the fort, although it was implied that they intended to use Bowser's departure to hold a party in his absence.

*[[Count Bleck]] (Former, controlled for a short time)

In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', the Koopa Troop follow Bowser's orders, despite him being under the [[black paint]]'s control in the latter game. However, the troops form a truce with Mario during ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', due to [[King Olly]]'s plans threatening them both.

*[[Koopalings]]  
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', a [[Koopa Cruiser crew|group]] of troops in the '''Bowser Baddies''' man the [[Koopa Cruiser]]. Bowser mistakes [[Luigi]] as an eager recruit, and takes him along Mario's quest to reclaim Princess Peach's voice from the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], but the Baddies and their King are swiftly dealt with by [[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]]. After [[Bowletta|Cackletta possesses Bowser's body]], she takes control of his castle and the Koopa Troop to destroy the Beanbean Kingdom, but the Mario Bros. stop her. The [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake of the game, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', adds a story mode that focuses exclusively on Bowser's troops. In it, they are dubbed '''Bowser's Minions''' in the English localization, despite the original references to the "Bowser Baddies" remaining. During this story mode, the troops, led by [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], set out to reunite and recruit all the troop members, and eventually rescue Bowser. The remake also shows that Bowletta duped the Koopa Troop, including the [[Koopalings]], into fighting for her and impeding the Mario Bros. by faking Bowser's return.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the Koopa Troop is shown to be split into different divisions (the Goomba unit, the [[Shy Guy]] unit, the Koopa unit, the [[Bob-omb]] unit and the Magikoopa unit), as evidenced when Fawful shows Bowser his captured soldiers. As Bowser rescues his soldiers, he is able to use them as [[Brawl Attack]]s, for example, [[Shy Guy Squad|using a squadron of Shy Guys to sling Bowser forward to the enemy]]. The [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]] of this game once again features a story mode where the minions are controlled, this time led by [[Bowser Jr.]], who sets out to cure the Koopa Troop of their own case of the [[blorbs]] in Bowser's absence.
