'''Dark Koopas''' are purple-shelled [[Koopa Troopa|Koopas]] that live in dark places underground. They first debut in [[Toad Town Tunnels]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where they sometimes grin and start to spin around when they attack, making their opponents [[dizzy]]. They are also stronger than regular Koopa Troopas. This is the only place in the game where they can be found, just like the [[Gloomba]] and [[Paragloomba|their]] [[Spiky Gloomba|relatives]].

Dark Koopas are also found in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', but in this game, they do not cause dizziness. Instead, they are merely stronger than regular Koopa Troopas, having their stats doubled, and slightly stronger than they were in [[Paper Mario]]. They are found in floors 31-39.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', a stronger, pitch-black, shadowy Koopa called [[Dark Koopa (Super Paper Mario)|Dark Koopa]] appears in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', a different kind of Dark Koopa appears in the final battle with [[Dark Bowser]]. After his body grows large, he will throw a ball of dark enemies, including Dark Koopas. Dark Koopas go into their shells, and Bowser needs to punch them to knock them into the other enemies up ahead.

-'''Dark Koopas''' are strong, purple-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]]s that live in dark places underground. They appear in the first two games of the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series.
-==History==
-===''Paper Mario''===
-Dark Koopas debut in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', appearing solely in [[Toad Town Tunnels]] like the [[Gloomba]] family. They attack using stronger versions of normal Koopa Troopas' attacks. Additionally, sometimes while idling they will grin, jog in place, and occasionally spin around, signaling that they are preparing a special attack that can make [[Mario]] [[dizzy]]. They sometimes perform this for multiple consecutive turns, thus leaving Mario stuck and requiring his partner to attack. Like normal Koopa Troopas, they are rendered temporarily helpless if knocked onto their backs.
-===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
+Dark Koopas are also found in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', but in this game, they do not cause dizziness. Instead, they are merely stronger than regular Koopa Troopas, having their stats doubled, and slightly stronger than they were in [[Paper Mario]]. They are found in floors 31-39.
-Dark Koopas reappear in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], appearing in floors 31-39. They are even stronger than before, but can no longer use their dizziness-causing attack. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', this role is given to a pitch-black, shadowy Koopa also called [[Dark Koopa (Super Paper Mario)|Dark Koopa]], which appears in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].
