'''Captain Koopa Troopa''' is one of the main protagonists of the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' story mode from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. He is part of the [[Elite Captain Quartet]] and is known for his rhymes, which most characters think are annoying.

==History== 
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
Captain Koopa Troopa first encounters [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], [[Captain Shy Guy (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Shy Guy]], and [[Captain Boo]] in [[Teehee Valley]]. Out of boredom and loneliness, he joins the Goomba Squad, even accepting the offer to join as a captain without question. He suggests to the Captains to ask [[Popple]] where [[Bowser]] went without fighting him. The asking works, however Popple still fights the Goomba Squad as payback for [[Chucklehuck Woods]], but they win regardless. While Fawful taunts the squad about Bowser being "[[Bowletta|no longer a thing of this world]]", he cruelly insults Captain Koopa Troopa's rhymes before the squad heads off to [[Joke's End]] to find and repair the [[Koopa Cruiser]]. He rhymes with some [[Buzzy Beetle]]s who were donating their [[Buzzy Shell|shell]]s to repair the Cruiser, and nearly causes them to leave with their shells. Before the Goomba Squad raids [[Bowser's Castle]], he tries to tell Captain Goomba to remember that Bowser was no longer there, only to get pelted by a [[Turnip]] from Captain Shy Guy. Like other Koopa Troopas, Captain Koopa Troopa's [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]] is Rock Solid, which temporarily boosts his [[defense]].

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
Captain Koopa Troopa appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where he is an enemy and recruitable ally in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. He first fights alongside several Koopa Troopas in [[Koopa Troopa Trouble]] and then fights alongside Captain Goomba, Captain Shy Guy, Captain Boo, and [[King Bob-omb]] in [[The Power of Junior]]. During this time, he also gave up rhyming for jokes, only for his attempted joke involving wordplay between Bowser's name and telling a waiter to bow to fall flat. He later joins [[Bowser Jr.]]'s troops along with the other captains after saving him and [[Wendy]] from the [[Best Fitness Friends]]. Like other Koopa Troopas, Captain Koopa Troopa is weak against pink [[Shy Guy]]s. Unlike other Koopa Troopas, Captain Koopa Troopa retains his Rock Solid Special Skill.

==Personality==
{{quote|What's that? [[Buzzy Beetle|You]] really enjoy my company, and especially my rhymes? Oh, thank you! I think I'm the best-looking one here too. Hm? You respect me as friend AND as a superior ally? You're too kind! You shouldn't dote on me so! No, no, I don't deserve such praise... Hey, wait! Forget I said anything. You already have, haven't you?|Captain Koopa Troopa|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions}}
His main personality quirk is his tendency to speak in rhymes. Other characters are often annoyed by his rhymes, typically resulting in a drawn-out silence with nothing but wind sounding; [[Fawful]], however, is vocal about how bad he finds them, calling them "unspecial and full of cringe." [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], on the other hand, is encouraging of them in many cases.

*'''''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' profile:''' ''One of the legendary original captains who saved Bowser and the Minions from catastrophe. His jokes are bad, but his rhymes are rad.''
