|tattle= This is a Dark Koopa. Dark Koopas are [[Koopa Troopas]] who live in the Toad Town Tunnels. They're known for causing dizziness. Be extra careful when you see 'em grin, because that means they're getting ready to do their dizzy attack. Their defense power is 0 when they're turned over, so you should use [[Jump]] attacks.

'''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.
'''Dark Koopas''' are insane, Punk-style dressed Koopas that live in sewers. Their insanity makes them spin and run in place crazily, and it is very bad to be attacked by one while in that state.  An attack from a spinning Dark Koopa leaves the victim [[Dizzy]]. The Dark Koopa is found in [[Toad Town Tunnels]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Rogueport)|Pit of 100 Trials]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
==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''===
They later appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''; however, in this game they are different creatures. In this game they are literally completely dark; they are like shadows of Koopas. They also appear in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]] in this game.  
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]].

|log=A Koopa Troopa that prefers dark places. It has a very hard shell but you can flip it by jumping on it.
|tattle=That's a Dark Koopa.  It lives in dark places that the light never reaches. It's a bit tougher than a regular Koopa, so you won't be able to beat it easily. But it DOES have the same weakness as a regular Koopa.  Flip it over and it's helpless. Why do you think it needs sunglasses down here, anyway?  What's the point? Toadette says woot woot
