The Koopa forces differ between appearances, though [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s consistently appear as the most common and basic troops. More elite troops of the organization consist of, for example, [[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)|''Yoshi'' franchise]]). Other species-specific monarchs/chiefs, such as [[Goomboss]], [[King Boo]], [[King Bob-omb]], the [[Whomp King]], and [[Petey Piranha]], also exist within the Minions, still acting under Bowser.
