{{quote|Hey, [[Mario|you in the hat]]! Wait! It's fine weather, isn't it? My name is Kent C. Koopa. Please remember it, OK? If you want to use [[Pleasant Path|this road]], you need to pay me 100 [[coin]]s. So sorry, but that's how it is. You don't pay, you don't pass. Coins make the world go round. It's all about the money!|Kent C. Koopa|Paper Mario}}
'''Kent C. Koopa''' is a red-shelled [[Gargantua Koopa Troopa]] that blocks [[Pleasant Path]], the road to [[Koopa Village]] and the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He appears after Chapter 5, blocking [[Kolorado]]'s way home after the explorer's adventures on [[Lavalava Island]]. He is an optional boss.
'''Kent C. Koopa''' is a [[Big Koopa Troopa]] that appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He wears large glasses, with his name being a play on the words "can't see". He also bears a strong resemblance to [[Hookbill the Koopa]], possibly being inspired by him.


Kent C. blocks [[Pleasant Path]], the road to [[Koopa Village]] and the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] after Chapter 5, preventing [[Kolorado]] from getting home after the explorer's adventures on [[Lavalava Island]]. He demands a toll of one hundred [[coin]]s in order to let people pass, but [[Mario]] can fight him instead as an optional boss. Defeating him will cause him to flee from the path for the rest of the game. [[Russ T.]] implies that Kent C. Koopa taught the [[Koopa Bros.]] how to fight.
To pass him, Kent C. demands a toll of one hundred [[Gold Coin|coins]]. He is an extremely strong fighter, with high offense and defense. However, he can be defeated easily if [[Mario]] and company (preferably [[Watt]]) attack his tail, instead of his shelled body. Kent C. Koopa uses a [[Ground Pound]] attack on Mario to squish him to do ten damage, and a slow [[Shell Toss]] to flatten Mario and his partner for three damage. He could thus aptly cause great difficulty for Mario by knocking his partners out for several turns. However, he is very easily put to sleep, which can be taken advantage of. [[Mamar]]'s special move, [[Lullaby]] has an extremely high (though not 100%) chance of working, effectively leaving Kent C. helpless for its duration. Interestingly, if Mario uses the Spin Smash attack on Kent C.'s tail (while flipped over), he will spin around, causing him to drop a few coins.


In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Gus]] is an optional boss that is encountered much earlier in the game, and can be fought in a similar way. Gus, however, has a much smaller toll and is much simpler to defeat.
==Stats and Tattle Information==
==Battle==
*'''Max HP:''' 70
Kent C. Koopa has rather high attack and defense compared to other bosses encountered before and after the point he appears in the game. Kent C. can use a powerful [[Ground Pound]]-like attack on Mario to squish him for ten damage; he may also perform a slow [[Shell Toss]] attack that flattens Mario and their partner, inflicting the [[injured]] status effect on them while dealing three damage.
*'''Attack:''' 3
*'''Defense:''' 6
*'''Location:''' [[Pleasant Path]]
*'''Moves:''' Shell Slam (3), Ground Pound (10)
*'''Tattle:''' This is Kent C. Koopa. He seems pretty greedy for such a large Koopa. He sometimes does a stomp attack with his shell. That attack has a power of 3. His shell attack also damages party members (like me!), so be sure to defend! As with all Koopas, your chances will greatly improve if you can flip him over. His defense power will drop. Watch it, though! He'll attack as soon as he's back on his feet. And by the way, is he not THE HUGEST KOOPA EVER!?! Somebody told me that he used to live in Koopa Village...


Unlike other Koopas, Kent C. requires Mario to land two jumps in order to be flipped over, and he will immediately get back up that same turn; also unlike other Koopas, getting back up does not use up that turn, and he will attack as normal. While flipped, Kent's defense is halved to 3, and his tail can also be targeted and has a defense of 0. Using the [[Super Hammer (move)|Spin Smash]] attack on Kent C.'s tail while he is flipped over makes him spin around, causing him to drop a few coins. Kent C. is also vulnerable to being put to [[sleep]] by moves such as [[Mamar]]'s [[Lullaby]], and will not get up as quickly if he is asleep while flipped.
==Trivia==
*Kent C.'s name is a play on "can't see".
*Unlike most Gargantua Koopa Troopas, Kent C. walks on his hind-legs.
*It is implied that he taught the [[Koopa Bros.]] how to fight.

*"''This is Kent C. Koopa. He's... pretty large and greedy. He seems to be in our way... We can't slip past him because he's too big, but he'll let us go by if we give him some coins. He's huge, but remember, he's just a Koopa Troopa.''"
